Hopefully Laura Kane fixes up the goal review system this week before we play these cheats

Usually they say on AFL site subbed out with injury if concussed. 

Doesn't say anything. But he was clearly unbalanced and his feet were buckling as he went off.

Would have to be concussed you would think, but it's Carlton.

They are following Ports handbook on Concussion Management.

Swans didnt kick straight enough  to win just like us

A Collingwood Carlton final next week would have been great. At least then one of them would have had to go. Unfortunately we stuffed up. Guess we'll just have to put them out.

Tim Membray out for St Kilda today with an undisclosed illness. Sounds a bit more serious than a morning sniffle.

Giants should comfortably beat the Saints

Saints are one of the worst finals teams i’ve seen

Saints can’t take a trick with their injuries either. Massive out.

is ‘personal health reasons’ code for a hangover?!

in all seriousness it sounds a lot worse than your average injury

If the Saints wanted to respect his privacy, all they need have said is 'he is not well and can't play'.  Instead they said:

"Membrey is currently receiving appropriate care and treatment due to a personal health matter," St Kilda said in a statement. 

"Tim's health and wellbeing is our primary concern and the club asks that Tim and the Membrey family's privacy is respected at this time."

I don't think the fact that apparently the AFL had to give special permission changes that.   If the AFL has a policy on when they are prepared to do that, it should be published and framed in a way that is so broad that it gives no extra fuel to speculation yet prevents club's from breaking the normal rules about selection.

Good crowd.

How many gws fans ?

Cooper Sharman.

What a cool name.

I know I should follow the Saints but 4 some reason, I feel inclined to support Gws.

Jason Bennett is an interesting caller, because he calls the game. It’s just a shame he gets partnered with Darcy. 

7 commentators in full Vic Pride mode

Actually  supporting Gws makes sense.

They are a far better chance of beating Lions or Port than St Kilda.

I wish we still had Hogan. 😀

Go Hoges

Or Bedford 

Nice to see the former Melbourne forward line kicking goals 😆

Beddy

pace pace pace Bedford 

Goal Bedford 

thanks Goody for ignoring Toby so much that he left the club 

clearly has pace and goal sense … but goody preferred Spargo ahead of Bedford (ffs)

Goal Ump made the right call but that's not what he asked to be checked.
