Footy Wrap Up, Week Two
So boys, is it too early to be whinging about the umpires already. But Fair Dinkum, if Freemantle hadn't got 4 suss goals from free kicks in the first quarter, it might have been a different story out Subiaco way. Ok ok, I'm biased, but the old Bluey's are still playing well above their so called form. Next week should be interesting with Sydney.
Speaking of Sydney, it would seem like they and Essendon are finally going to suffer for their crap "kick backwards" style of play. There's no flow, everything is about holding up and looking for the best way forward to goal. To me it is totally uninspiring, and both teams are getting what they deserve with losses. It would seem this afternoon that the only reason they came back was they decided to actually go direct instead of piss farting around.
Geelong and West Coast are showing some excellent starting form, and the Cats are mind blowing at the moment, although the home ground seems to help. The big surprise continues to be the Bulldogs, who also look fantastic when you watch them. Now that's the kind of footy I like, fast, quick and direct, with massive tackling efforts.
And this week, at least Goaty gets to be happy with a win on the board for the Woodsmen.
Go Blues, Whiz.
P.S. Anyone interested in going to Sydney/Carlton next Saturday night at the Telstra Dome?

Yes Wiz, it is good to get a win on the board but it was only against Hawthorn.
As for your point about Essendon and Sydneys style of play. I too find it very uninspiring as well. Its all well and good to say we play however that will get us the 4 points but i would not want to pay money to go and see that crap. Regardless of winning or losing.
Its not just sport, at that level it is entertainment and there is a lot of money thrown at football to be entertaining. The coaches may be coaching just to win and keep their job, but as a spectacle, its just crap. They still have a responsibility to the game.
Kevin Sheedy started all this keepings off and time wasting. He has a lot to answer for.
Yes Age, a win is a win is a win, and I can't see how they can go back now they have gone down that track.
It still looks shit to watch.
