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.

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.

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

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres
