As I said. Something is NQR. I can’t put my finger on it. Is everyone in this side just in it for the cash? They seem so devoid of passion. Greene that dweeb is the only player with genuine passion but he’s a tool who can’t keep himself away from suspension. 

I know exactly what you mean. It's like the majority of the players wish they had  been drafted to another club but have accepted their fate. Like its genuinely just a job to most of them.

They really should have won 2 premierships with the talented list they have.

The 1000 goal game was a myth this week as we all know but they couldn't stop promoting it.

With 4 goals still to go I doubt Buddy will crack it next week either against Geelong (Friday night prime time of course).

Perhaps against the Bulldogs at Docklands the following week

I dunno. On paper they are so talented but I don’t rate their coach. They’ve had a gun team for so long but something is just NQR. 

Why isn’t Cameron under more scrutiny?  Probably something to do with the “free press” and AFL media licensing.

Soulless GW$, after more than decade, nobody even living in Greater Western Sydney gives a toss about them. 
This is why there is so much Gambling Advertising shoved down our throats.

I am not taking too much from the game. A rivalry has built up so they will often put in their best efforts. Commentary was sending me nuts so I had to turn over and watch Lanning bat for half the time. 

Brissy I think are the ones to watch as are port so  will keep a close interest to that game.

PowerPepper spins 720 degrees, with prior opportunity - play on.

I liked that decision. Disposed of it cleanly despite spinning like a top, so it wasn't an effective tackle. 
It makes the umpires job easier.

They don't have to be "effectively" tackled. For a legal tackle they only have to be held, body or jumper.

For how long? That's the key to the interpretation. For simplicity, I am happy for a tackle to be considered ineffective if it doesn't prevent the player from legally disposing the ball.

prior: must dispose immediately

no prior: within a "reasonable" time

Not a shot at you, but the concept of "interpretation" of the rules is bogus and should be removed from the game.

By various interpretations of "immediately", Trac was holding the ball when Bont tackled him in the last passage of play in the 3rd quarter of the GF. He disposed of the ball, but was it "immediately"?

Immediately is inherently subject to interpretation, because it ranges from planck time through to human reaction time through to a second through to…whatever.

I can't stand Joe Daniher - constantly with his hands outstretched pleading for the free. Why not just win the ball mate?

Well he was held then kneed in the head - definitely play on

2 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

well - not really

even if we'd nominated him there was no way gw$ wouldn't match the bid

and if they hadn't we wouldn't have dogga and i'll definitely take dogga over the mini-clayton that is tom green

Perhaps, although as already mentioned, GWS may have been happy to snap up Dogga. I'm sure glad we did.

Are there any Giant’s fans at their Home game?

I think i'll wait until after Buddy kicks his 1,000th goal before I watch Sydney play again. It'll be a great feat for sure but i'm already over the commentators incessantly talking about it.

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    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

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
