Is it just me or is anyone else having problems with Kayo loading tonight?

It’s a terrible product. Only works half the time.

balta reminds me quite a bit of frost - yr never quite sure what he's going to do 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Is Richmond good or Geelong bad? I know the Tigers played well against us, but they look as good as they did Anzac Eve.

i've found the only stable environment is via telstra tv

[ElDiablo14 5,061]

Can someone please tell me why are the Richmond supporters booing Stewart?

puddy tatts are missing 10 of the premiership 23 and this is the first time they've played without either one of dangerfield or selwood since they recruited the former

cos he absolutely poleaxed prestia last year and got four weeks

based on the jvr judgement would have been 6+ if he was an mfc player

[Demonsterative 3,021]

Live ladder is a double whammy/ winner for us. Top 5 pick and 4 points (one game in hand against the Dorks) ahead of Gheelong 

love it 

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,986]

Doesn't it warm the heart to see a half empty Optus Stadium.

[Demonsterative 3,021]

Bolts is a good player.

So we want both GC and Richmond to win tonight right?

As much as we don't like GC this week, if only for the sake of Freos death ride.

Jermaine Jones has got the lead for worst haircut in the AFL. 

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Cars are done. Richmond playing much better.

Because they were asked not too.

[The heart beats true 18,201]

Surprised to see Oli Henry playing. Thought the trip down the highway would be much too far from home for him.

Remember when umpire dissent was a rule? That was a fun 6 weeks.

These two teams (Geelong, Richmond) have players that appear to "dissent" all the time. If they crossed the line, umpire's would call it.

It may be to get the supporters going, which in turn can influence the umpires.

It could also be cognitive dissonance.

Cats have C. Guthrie, Danger, Stanley, Stengle, Close, De Koning and others out.

He is probably Richmond’s best tonight IMO

Hawkins early but after q1 balta

I must say I haven’t had any significant problems until tonight so it may be me

Carlton get away with dissent even more than these two teams with the 2022 *Downlow medalist being among the worst

Exactly Jezza dissent doesn’t get umpire action 

umpiring inconsistency

yep, but it's still a mystery as to what he's going to do with it once he gets it

[rjay 25,428]

Blitz milked that one, put his head on the ground.

2 weeks for acting.

[BDA 23,048]

The umps sure don't like Richmond. Can't blame them i suppose. I don't like Richmond much either.

the Cats have named their worst midfield for 20 years. 

aside from Duncan who’s going to win the ball?

Taranto will go nuts. if Tigers can kick a decent score they can win this

Cats are 2-2 at the G. 

Am i convincing anyone?!?

Great call, I watched the tigers the last 2 weeks and didn’t see this coming. They haven’t been great but they came in with a plan and are executing it well. Still time for Geelong but unlikely based on how they’re playing.
