A chance to knock those puddy cats outta the eight tomorrow and put a decent gap between the top three and the rest.  Let's go Demons!

Hate to say it ... but Darcy Moore is so good.

And for some reason I don't mind Daicos. Pretty much hate the rest.

I might pop over to the Big Footy/Filth board. 

They are really teeing off on Grundy over there. It’s amazing. Imagine these kind of posts being made about Gawn.

At what point is he traded for a 2nd rounder to get his utterly ridiculous salary off our books? Not even a joke now, completely serious discussion needs to be had. Beaten by a retired 35 year old ruck coach today whose body is held together with tape”

“It was a bad contract even when he playing well....”

”Grundy should offer to take a pay cut. I’m serious. It would be the gesture of someone really invested in the club.”

”Send a message to this bloke!! Drop him and leave him there for a month. His efforts are weak as [censored], got his mega contract and switched off.”

”Give back the money coward. Guys that compete week in, week out like Mihocek and get paid peanuts because this greedy ******* drinks his own bathwater. Tarzan looking, Jane playing [censored].”

”Brodie is invested in himself , $$$$$$ Like i stated many moons ago, If i`m i the trenches, I don`t want him in my trench he is a pea heart”

This should be shown to people during contract negotiations. 
big contracts in size and length of time can be very dangerous. 
Players must perform if they are well paid.

Gold.

GWS had an added incentive to beat the pies last night. They hold Collingwood's first round pick this year. Pity we couldn't get our hands on it. Imagine the mirth and merriment death riding that pick for the year and based on last nights performance it could well land in the Top 5.

My ears pricked up when he said there was more to footy than premierships. It was on fox footy and he was talking about the good you can do in the community, using your position to affect change etc. Not that there's anything wrong with those intentions, but I just would've chosen my words better there.

More to footy than premierships?... and you're a senior leader on the biggest contract at a club? Yikes.

I think deliberate is gone CB....us fans will have to scream ‘insufficient intent’ when the ball gets kicked or tapped out of play. Last night was the first time I’ve heard the umps use those words.

 

A bit late to the party here but geez hearing “insufficient intent” makes me cringe. It sounds like when someone writing an essay has wanted to sound more sophisticated, so they’ve gone nuts with the thesaurus. One of my wife’s uni lecturers called that “w**king on the page”.

Are they awarding frees for insufficient intent when a player lets a ball kicked by an opponent go out rather than try to pick it up?

In the Brisbane/Bulldogs  game an umpire refused to give a free for deliberate OOB because a Bulldogs player let the ball run out when he had a chance to pick it up. The umpire told him so. That’s the way it should be policed.

Well that's better than actually giving Brisbane a free for the Bulldogs player showing insufficient intent of keeping it in.  But that is exactly what he did - clearly he showed insufficient intent to keep it in (though not responsible for the motion of the ball).

But it does not change the Brisbane player's "intent" if an opponent could have kept it in but didn't.  So as unsual for the AFL, the terminology of rules is imprecise as well as being cringeworthy as Nasher said.


There is nothing in the rules about what happens if a player who didn't dispose of the ball does not try to keep the ball in bounds. More "interpretations" and enforcing rules that only exist in someone's head.

 

18.10 OUT OF BOUNDS
18.10.1 Spirit and Intention
Players shall be encouraged to keep the football in play.
18.10.2 Free Kicks - Out of Bounds
A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player who:
(a) Kicks the football Out of Bounds On the Full;
(b) Kicks, Handballs or forces the football over the Boundary Line and does not demonstrate sufficient intent to keep the football in play; or
(c) fails to immediately hand the football to the boundary Umpire or drop the football directly to the ground once the football is Out of Bounds.

On Kayo tonight, I watched simultaneously GCS v CAR & COL v GWS. F'n great service for $5 a month. 

F1 starts its European circuit next week.

Some of the tracks are in mind blowingly beautiful spots and occasionally the racing is good.

The Sky commentary is the best in sport.

This weeks tips and punting has all gone out the window. Funnily enough I’m tipping 7 from 8 most weeks in the league and I don’t follow it at all.

So what do we think will happen to nth today? The crowd will be interesting. Mind you they get to play under a closed roof. 

As impressive as Adelaide have been,  North could win today.  Anyone who thinks they're going to go through the season without a win is being unrealistic.

They badly need Tarrant back though, and Taylor Walker could kick 12 today.

11-12k at most

Could be as low as 8k

Maybe a 1000 local Crow supporters... certainly very very few from Adelaide

Tex might kick 20 today

If North believe in themselves and show a bit of composure the Crows are there for the taking. They are not taking advantage of forward entries and kicks at goal at the moment

I just saw Caleb Daniel's tackle, now the Brisbane player is unhurt (mostly) by it but I have to say that is more dangerous than just about any tackle I have seen sent to the MRO. That is a neck-braking action, he drive the guys head into the ground with all of his weight. It's lucky that he didn't get him flush and that perhaps the ground was a little moist and soft, for me that is a tackle that needs to be eliminated completely. I think he got one week, I think that should be looked at worse the Dangermouse's bump.

 

Part of Collywobbles doing so badly and us doing well, is that Trac may be less interested in their big bucks.

Have you seen their coach in the shower, Kev?

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
