Lance Franklin has been one of the greats of this era if not the best, I hope he can get to the 1000.

Long way out from finals but it looks like they’re dragging him to the 1000, finals… who knows.

    Several Geelong platers have "clearly shown displeasure" when penalised but no 50s like in our practice game v Carlton.

    Even handedness or softening in interpretation?

    Buddy looked to have some… VERY… choice words for the umpire after that push in the back that he thought was against him… No 50.

    The new interpretation is supposed to address players talking back or questioning umpires, I reckon I’ve seen a lot of that in small doses in round 1 already. Sooo, what’s the point if it isn’t enforced all the time?

    Instead of allowing some players to talk back but not others depending on the umpire, creating a blurred line, the AFL might as well just make a rule that you don’t talk to the umpire during the game. At least then you aren’t leaving it up to interpretation.

    WA has a very narrow definition of a 'close contact':  15 minutes if both not wearing a mask.  So most of the players probably don't have covid but are caught under that definition and have to isolate for 7 days.

    It can happen over and over again to WA teams. 

    So the "Science" is different depending which state you live in 😕

    I just want Geelong to lose. However it is only half time. The swans had a hard game last week and Geelong had a softie against Essenscum.  Second half will tell a story.

    Yes.

    WA teams are exposed as 'close contacts' every time a player gets covid.

    Have we ever tried Weideman at half back?

     Dont think so, would not mind seeing him play there at Casey first.

    OMG Cats just too focussed on Franklin - leave others Heywood Heaney free.

    And looking slower by the minute.   Maybe they shouldn't be scheduled to play after bedtime.

     

    AND again, Henry talks back after in Franklin's back - no 50.

    Brad Close has kicked three goals. He could kick 10 goals and find a cure for cancer and that’s still not what he’ll be remembered for. Not by Dees fans, anyways  😉

    Franklin getting nothing from the umpires. Umpires have no game sense 

    Really Jaded? I've seen him throw the ball twice and not get penalised. And I'm wanting them to win.

    Hard to hate the swans. A tough midfield, buddy up front. P Mc at the back. A great coach. No ego, no nonsense

    i do get annoyed at them being gifted top picks in the draft when being too 4 but that’s my only gripe

    999 goals. Unbelievable. 
    Reckon he gets his 1000th tonight. 
    It’s insane to think we will probably never see anyone kick 1000 goals again.

    I loath Papley but otherwise they’re a bloody good team full of guns. Well coached. Disciplined. Hard at it. They’re fun to watch too unlike the old days of Sydney being boring.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
