Filth are getting away with a lot tonight, the fend off to the face, the throw backwards in the F50, arm being by held as the hawk player led, then Cloke throwing lake out of the way.

Cloke/Lake was a contest, nothing in that. Both sides getting some interesting decisions and getting away with a few throws.

Cloke has a license to throw people out of the way - he just did it in general play to a player who clearly did not have to ball. Should have been clear to the umpires.

That was blatant, the umpire mustn't have believed what he was seeing.

I wish Cloke had of been kicking like he is tonight against us. You just knew he was going to miss that easy one the way he sighted it.

Yes was thinking that myself. What was it 7.0 for Cloke against us. Against the Dawks what is he 1.5 FCS. The Pies are playing all over the Dawks but can't buy a goal. The Dawks are playing in cameos and still leading and you know it is just a matter of time for it all to clicks. They should be 4 goals down.

Seems to have licence to kick people in the face as well.

Classy start to the round. Parker does a corky and is getting help from the Swans medico, before Broadbent comes along, looks down at Luke's leg (which Parker's inspecting and explaining to the medico), then proceeds to start bumping him in the hip over and over again while play resumes.

Disgusting and pathetic behaviour that deserves a minimum 2 week sanction, IMHO. It's certainly fired up the Swans, because from scores level they've kicked truly four times in a row and Port have fallen in a heap.

After Mitch Robinson faking an injury in order to get space to go 3rd man up the other week, Broadbent may just use a defence of he was just closely checking Parker to make sure he didn't do the same thing?

Yep how good is our sport when 2 teams can come together like that after playing each other for 2 hours. Great stuff by Clarko and Bucks. I love our game. That image will be beamed around the world.

Apparently at the nrl game tonight they did have a minutes silence and they stayed silent for the whole minute.

Ridiculous comment... there was no way that was a deliberate act. If anything the Collingwopd player ran straight into his foot. A footballing accident and nothing more.

Two sons of former Melbourne players debut for Collingwood tonight. Darcy Moore and Braydon Maynard. Sons of Peter Moore and Peter Maynard.

Just saw this.

Interested to know how pendles compares to robbie flower as a player, i was too young to remember tulip

The game has changed a lot since then. Flower played mostly out wide on the wing and was a link man type as was played then. The modern version would be an outside midfileder. Had great skills, got a lot of the ball and won most of 1 to 1 contests. Unlike Pendlebury, his game had little influence on our fortunes as we were pretty shyte everywhere else. His career was just about finished when we started getting good in 1987.

Interesting, I was going to post the Robbie name but held back on it. There are similarities, in the balance and poise with ball in hand.

I wish Pendles was one of ours, even as a Pies player he is a joy to watch as Robbie was.

No comparison young fella.

Flower by the length of the MCG.

Thanks Fork

that's the best compilation by far i've ever seen

we should sticky it as "Robbie Flower Tribute" (mods?)

as any one can see a totally different (and better) player than pendles

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
