Yes but Blues would have been on our tail as well.

Best result was a Blues win. This outcome 2nd best.

Fair enough but a Blues win would have had them level with us. Definitely a good result if they could have knocked off Collingwood as more places in the 8 would have been up for grabs but with Carlton having some winnable games coming up that could have been iffy.

Must say I like the jaguar symbol on the back of our jumper. Most of the car logos are rather nondescript.

Took me years to work out who SEW were on the back of the hawks jumper.

Jaguar’s are not ordinary!

Pity they broke down so often.

The V 12 was a mechanic's dream money spinner.

Continual rumours that Tata is trying to sell.

Most V12’s need a good mechanic to keep them tuned. 
A refurbished E Type V12 would be superb. A lot of that is going on

Kangas are canon fodder now. They have given up and the Suns should have won by 100. The next few teams to play them will be out for big wins. Power, Freo, Eagles. 

10 wins needed to be a Finalist

Too many Teams have been crap this year

Izak rankine the only punishment from MRO. Toby Greene gets away with that blatent punch to double over Conca off the ball?  not even a fine??!?

The MRO continues to baffle. just because conca didnt crack a rib, its a bloody joke.

The MRO have painted themselves into a corner by continuously excusing Lynch’s off the ball acts, they had to give Greene a pass or it would’ve exposed their blatant favouritism. 

The system needs an overhaul and a new MRO.

When has that ever stopped them from outrageous inconsistent decisions that defy precedent or even common sense?

100%

They can start with a panel of people who are not lawyers and who have never played Aussie Rules football. But who have played high level sport (rugby, hockey, basketball). Compile a list of incidents from the past, covering most things ... sling tackles, punching, off the ball, etc etc ... and tell them "this incident should get 1 week", "this other incident should get 2 weeks", and so on. That's their reference library. And it should not necessarily reflect the actual punishments given by Mr "Protect the Stars" Christian, as making sense of that is bad for one's mental health.

What's more, it's the act that is penalised. The outcome can weight the penalty, but the act itself should be the focus of scrutiny.

Each week the panel goes over the cited incidents, compares them to the reference library, and decides on a punishment.

In a perfect world, the panel would not need to be so exclusive, but the AFL have poisoned their MRP/tribunal system over the years to where no-one can have faith in ex-players being either objective or not bamboozled by ever-changing justifications. Christian himself seems punch drunk.

My cousin was a mechanic for Jaguar. His advice was don’t ever buy a Jaguar.  Many of the V12 engines were removed and a Ford or GM V8 installed in their place. Conversion kits were an aftermarket money spinner. They tended to overheat badly and burn valves. The straight line 6 triple carb E Type was a beauty and far better car  if one could afford the service and general repairs.

Logically that would be a Green Light for the Weid to go the gut punch when on the lead.

I can imagine the MRO then making an example of a Dees player if we did the same as Lynch or Grubby Greene.

Greene did get a fine.

Still, the system is broken. Lynch and Greene receiving nothing but fines for blatant, non-football dog acts, is a joke. Both should have been suspended to remind the league that punching players and smacking their heads into the turf is not what you should be doing.

Totally agree.  It’s a joke. Need to suspend Greene to send a message. A fine is soft.

We all know that if they start dishing out suspensions it will stop these acts dead in their tracks yet all I hear from the experts on acts like these is "Nah no suspension, should just get a fine". These people are usually the same ones calling for the harder penalties and saying fines do nothing. Too much foot in both camps for me. Get serious AFL or go home.

The scene from madmen summed it up well.

Regarding tonight's game that has no relevance, I am trying to determine if my hatred of hawthorn is more than my dislike of crows fans.

I'll go for Adelaide to win.

hope crows win by a disputed goal in last few seconds. decision for touched goes to the arc goal line cameras but they are malfunctioning and decision is umpires call - goal and match to camry crows. media in meltdown.

As with the players, the maggots are exposed in hub and frenzy football. Night after night, game after game we same the same clowns making appalling and consistently bad decisions. Tonight Maggot 11 is excelling. But of course he will running around again in a couple of days making the same appalling calls. Unfortunately, it’s not just Maggot 11.

They have a roster system between the AFL, and French Island Seconds. A different winner every week sadly.....

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
