Senior Squad
Well this is it. Wizard Cup has begun last night in preperation for the AFL season. Thought i'd open a thread to talk about whats happening in the AFL throughout the season.
Of course the Wizard Cup is just an excuse for trying out new rules and giving youngsters a go. But how does everyone like the 9 point rule? The 2 goal umpires? Personally i like the ideal of the boundry umpire coming in about 10 metres to throw the ball in. Stops the ruckman thumping the ball back out of play and wasting time. Especially when its a close game.
But here are some results so far;
WEST COAST: 0.3.1, 0.7.2, 0.11.5, 0.12.8 (80)
FREMANTLE: 0.3.2, 0.6.3, 0.7.4, 0.11.7 (73)
COLLINGWOOD: 1.1.4, 1.5.10, 1.8.11, 3.12.16 (115)
RICHMOND: 1.3.4, 2.3.6, 4.6.6, 5.9.9 (108)
At the moment it looks as though the Bulldogs are gonna beat my Swannies. Deep into the 4th Qtr and the bulldogs are winning by 22 points.
