I think about the only player they are missing is Cam Guthrie who is closing on 29 and probably replaces 22yo Brad Close so they can go older still ...

Fair enough, best to wait then. Not too long though - tick tock and all that...

Just listened to an interview with Jeff Kennett. Was asked about Alistair Clarkson and, as always, made it all about Jeff. I’ve seen this skill within the workplace but he’s a master. It was apparent that he wanted to lessen Clarkson’s achievements and talk up his own (overstated) efforts.

Let’s hope he stays in control of the Hawthorn FC. 
Apologies for slightly left field comment 

Can't stand that object.

He is apparently on Channel 7's payroll. He gets asked to comment on various issues, and is often on that station's news. If ever I am watching Channel 7's news (which I rarely do) and his ugly head appears, I have to switch off or chance the channel.

In no way am I having a go at you personally dees189227, but I am getting sick of the clarko is a genius stuff.

He is a great coach and has clearly done well with all the flags, but I love how they beat the swans and he is a genius (you said it, but also all the papers and radio have run with it today).

Just wondering how much of a genius he has been for the remainder of the games they have played this year?

Just a little gripe of mine.

Well said. It's bloody cringe.

This post also reminds me of the Tom Browne tweet from Friday night..

 

The Thilthorpe free was there. Poorly explained but there was an arm over the shoulder and a hold.

The umpires explanation “you prevented  him from marking?

Selective quoting? If you watch the footage, the umpire also stated that he was holding the player… and indeed he was.

 

Is this a covid reduced crowd at Blundstone or has Tasmania just officially given up on North ?

To be fair, would you get out of bed to watch this enthralling duel?

I can’t even be bothered finding the tv remote to turn on Kayo for this game.

Let's put it this way.

If you were given a free ticket would you go.

I wonder where GWS goes from here? North are past tense.

If that was indeed holding there would be a free kick given for every second forward 50 entry.

True. There's more life in the average graveyard than Hobart on a Sunday. I can guarantee the crowd will be bigger at the New Sydney Hotel on Bathurst St when it opens at 4pm.

Maybe the final straw was losing their home town full forward to our reserves team.

Bit like GWS but at least he didn't go to the reserves.

Technicality it did look like a weak arm chop in slow motion but I don’t recall ever seeing a free  paid for an arm chop applied after a player misses the first bite of the ball. Usually only paid when the arm chop spoils the first bite. In the circumstances it was a very contentious decision.

Edited by John Crow Batty

I'm comparing the treatment Thilthorpe got with what Toby Greene gets every time the ball goes in to the Giants 50. If last night's decision was any kind of benchmark, GWS would be 15 goals in front.

If only there was a way for North to play at Blundstone Arena more often

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
