speaking of which, how come the mro haven't sanctioned buddy for staging. how come so little discussion on this bad decision (and kozzies) post game in the media

if it was the filth or the tigers they would have kicked up loudly

Exactly.

Big club Coaches would be bleating about the decisions.

There is a clear agenda IMO in the media to highlight certain things and overlook others.

What about the excuse for Ginnivan's chicken wing not being cited. Oh they missed it. Still 6 days before his next game plenty of time to lay a charge.

The rule is interpreted stupidly as well.  If someone is zooming through the protected area and there is no way (short of tearing all his ligaments) to actually turn and affect the player with the ball, then ignore it.   So rather than players and umpires guessing where 15m is, let them guess 'could the player actually affect they player with the ball'.   If a player zooms past but is so close the umpire thinks he could have affected things, ping him.  If not, don''t.

It's a 10 metre protected area and Kozzie was double that away from Reid at all times. Disgraceful decision.

That non citing is worth more than all the frees he has missed, as he would have got 2 weeks. 

Oh that's right the MRO is Michael Christian and he played for ...........

Wouldn't be surprised if the AFL told him to ignore it, as it would create more controversy.

Disgraceful act, as even Dermie said, it was done to really hurt Dangerfield.

The reason why Danger couldnt remonstrate was because he was already on the ground, wonder if Blondie would’ve done anything if Paddy was upright? Seriously, Ginivan has something coming for him surely. A pity Adams (a tough but fair player) did his groin and not that little worm.

Sorry, but I come from the Allen Jakovich generation.

Gee, the similarities up forward from Trac and Jako are evident.

Maybe, this is the right time, especially with our problems with tall forwards, to push Ben Brown up the ground (CHF), and place Trac and Fritsch in the Goal square, with Kozzie/Spargs crumbing.

Or, open up the forward line completely, and let Trac go one on one, aka Jako.

We have not tried it yet.

Not a bad idea FAR but then we have the problem of being a rotation down through the middle.

Is there some online vision of this other than trolling through the replay Red?

Uncle B will duck down into the cellar and choose a dusty bottle (circa 1960 but the label is deteriorated)

And we know he'll settle down,... and invite the maid (Meredith is the Tuesday girl) to provide some comfort.

Haha you seem to know an awful lot about BBO’s habits Handley. Is there something you want to tell us?

The maggots knew what they were doing and carefully compounded and concocted three or four together  killer decisions to covertly bring our opposition back into the game.After the first one the smiles started coming back.and they pressed harder knowing that those maggots were about to let things roll.

The mark whistle started as well. In other words all they had to do Reid in particular was put the ball in both hands and the maggot had his whistle in his mouth that quick that he nearly swallowed it.

It was absolutely incorrect.

It was incorrect. Kozzie was miles away, eyes fixed elsewhere, accelerating forward.

If Petracca moving about freely is an issue we could just play him out of the goal square 

Brisbane don't flood back like a lot of other teams (unless they change their tactics against us this time around)

In our 2 previous encounters against them this season our forward line has not been crowded and as a result, our forward line has functioned very well both times

So Petracca playing deep forward (up to a flank) would be a dangerous proposition for them.  And a potential match-winner for us

We've got enough quality in the midfield to cover for Christian (that might be a different story if we advance to an encounter against the Cats)

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
