I'm happy to have anyone that loves it explain to me how an umpire can simultaneously watch the kicker for a play on, while watching the man on the mark.

Can't be done, unless we start hiring four eyed, cross eyed umpires.

If one really thinks more about it in an evolutionary way, maggots metamorphosise into blowflies, which have compound eyes, so possibly not quite so far fetched as first appears. 
 

On the Hawkins issue, I can’t remember which case but the MRO and or tribunals have very clearly said, if you pin the arms and the head hits the ground you are guilty. I guess they will do a  Donut Dan on this one - “don’t remember”

The Age this morning put the incident up in lights. Will be looked at for sure.

Gold Coast cannot be fairdinkum. Give em some more draft picks. One through to 30.

Essendon nailing the Tigers season 2021 coffin lid pretty tight here. 

Watching Essendon play on Channel 7 the last month you’d be forgiven for thinking they’re 5 games clear on top of the ladder. 

The fawning 🤢

So bizarre watching our game with zero crowd and now the Derby with nearly full house and great atmosphere.

I am bloody envious.

Can’t wait for the bombers to be in the 8 for 90minutes 😂

Really hope Freo can stick it to west coast. they've started well.

Yea....but not cos im worried about eagles making the finals.

I just dont like their fan base 😀

Eagles are looking flat as a tack after their big game vs Melbourne 6 days ago.

Shows the effort it took to get up after flying back from that game.

Qtr time scoreline looks promising.  If the finals have to be in Perth it would be so sweet if WC weren't in them

Yea. Glad you mentioned it.

That game was a huge slog in the rain and had to take its toll.

Given what freo are doing to weagles ipso facto..... our win today was better than it seemed.

Yea it hurts but even if we can't get to finals this year I'm just so glad and proud of our club this year.

How good is footy when your winning?

Sheed should have a week  , gut punch

Watching the Derby and the crowd involvement and I would say that after the first two weeks of the finals, the rest will be played at Optus Stadium. No chance in Victoria.

They should just close the joint and move them to Tassie.

Loving the Derby at the "Boo Stadium". The booing by Freo fans is just brilliant against the masters of booing. Laughing my head off. Oh the joys of cheap white wine.

Yuck it looks like essenscum will now play finals.

Seriously how bad are west coast? They are losing to a Freo team that barely have any players. They are just injury riddled

Fremantle are going to a serious team when they get their players back and their youth develops. They play the right way

Since when did Fox start putting ads up at ball ins   They forget to remove them when the play starts too often and with their overuse of closeups it blocks my view of when the players last  shaved

Just announced on seven news they expect Hawkins to not be cited due to the Holman case, difference is though saints player had both arms pinned so can’t protect yourself 

The media are starting the spin re the Hawkins incident. 

the MRO will come back with no weeks. Apparently a spin was involved. [censored] me. I’m usually against conspiracy theory stuff but that is BS. Far worse than the Holman tackle

Freo choke on

Exactly what I was about to post!!! I can’t believe they’re comparing a one-arm-pinned tackle to a two-arms-pinned tackle. There’s no justification.
