Sydney got screwed, no more no less....

When was the last time Geelong, Sydney and Hawthorn all missed the 8 in the same season?

Lets do our part today to make this dream come closer to being a reality.

Yes he was.  I'm not suggesting sympathy for him, quite the contrary. I think there should not be a 50m for grabbing a bloke doing that even if the umpire  hasn't got around to calling play on.  There seems to be little sympathy for the man on the mark when a 50m penalty is applied in those cases.  Just let the players make the decision about whether play on has occured.  And ping them if they get it wrong.

fair enough, and i think that the ump did that last night by just using his common sense

the other one i didn't like last night was the pendlebury. free, should have gone against him for kicking in danger. it was that action that put his legs in the frame and anyway kicking off the ground in that situation was the more dangerous action. hannebury didn't dive on the ball, just went low fearlessly to pickup the ball

you can't take the legs out from under someone - free kick every day of the week, and lucky not to snap pendlebury's legs in half. 

I'd argue that contact was after Pendlebury had almost kicked the Sydney player's head off. Should have been a free kick to Sydney before Collingwood.

I agree. Kicking in danger came first

Haven't seen that called in ages. Last one I really remember was the one that broke Jeff White's jaw.

North are starting to remind me of the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail

 

Black Knight: Come on then!
King Arthur: What?
Black Knight: Have at you! [Kicks Arthur]
King Arthur: You are indeed brave, good Sir Knight, but the fight is mine.
Black Knight: Oohh, had enough, eh?
King Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left!
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: Look!
Black Knight: Just a flesh wound

have seen it called a few times in recent years

btw iirc the jeff white kick to the face wasn't called as kicking in danger. might be bad memory though, he certainly wasn't charged

GWS player put down behind play, with a strike from behind. Saw the arm come out and the player go down, but couldn't see where hit and with what. Commentators thought it was Turner.

Can't wait to see how the MRP and the media treat this one.

And they have to travel back from perth

Freo are good and will be hard to beat without big Max G.

Freo were beaten last week by Port by 100 points.

If we cannot take them apart we are going nowhere

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
