or lack thereof.

Is he crazy not to wear a mouthguard? I think Reiwoldt also went without mouth protection. Most players seem to wear them. What gives?

My guess, he doesn't like his teeth and is waiting to have them knocked out so the club can buy him a nice new set of implants.

Could have an allergic reaction if there is such a thing.

Insanity, apparently Elliot Yeo took his mouthguard out to have a 'breather' (according to him) and within a minute of not having it in, lost two front teeth.

a lot of afl plsyers dont wear mouth guards actually. I think it's crazy but apparently a lot of players struggle to breath properly with them in.

Tried to wear one once and couldn’t hardly breathe or swallow. 

Didnt help that I was super dusty and dry-as after a big night before on the froths. 

Btw, Andrew Brayshaw probably thinks they’re overrated as well.

He wore one in his debut game, not sure he's worn one since.

I'm not sure Gawn and Petracca wear them either.

You're right.

Clarry, as previously reported has or suffers from a little bit of asthma, must love the hot dry windy weather, ie Shepparton last week, having a mouthguard in probaly doesn't help the breathing

Teeth are overrated and easily replaced these days

I never played with one, but then again, I never played football. 

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, eh Ethan?!  You're not supposed to PLAY with them.  You stick 'em in your gob!

And what's the deal with almost all AFL players wearing their socks down (aside from Buddy, Walker, Daniher and a few ruckman).

The last Dees to wear socks up were Davey and Jamar off memory.

What happened to the days of "Socks up, jumpers tucked in!"

Terrible things to wear playing footy. Was always taking it out when not near the ball.  

However, if the choice is between discomfort or not having a full set of teeth, I would choose teeth every time. 

Handy things teeth particularly for chewing.

My female friends all preferred a mouth with teeth.

Taking out the dentures before bed is never a good look.

I suspect that some of BBO's house maids don't have teeth but that's another matter.

It might not be a matter of them wearing their socks down. It might be that the sock are only that particular size. That is they don't go all the way up to just below the knees anymore. They seem to go to only just above the ankle.

I always thought your elbows and your fists were supposed to stop one from getting hit in the mouth. Worked for me...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
