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”

    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.

    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.

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

    I am bloody envious.

    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?

    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

  • Quote

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
