The free kick against Balta for the push in the back, late in the game, in front of the goal, was a shocker. Perfectly executed tackle. should have been HTB against Carlton.

I know its a tough game to umpire but that was pure incompetence.

Interesting to read Voss’ comments this morning about their heavy loading over the past 4 weeks, and that their strategy has been to effectively use the early bye as their season starter.

Wonder what our strategy is?

Don't mention the L word.

Seems to be extremely triggering for some on here.

Can you post a link to voss' comments please.

Thanks in advance.

Also that TDK 50 metres (more like 65 metres) penalty and goal didn't help. 50 metres penalty wasn't even there in the first place. 🙄

Particularly those that think considering potential mitigating factors to help understand a poor performance equals making excuses.

But on serious note, that's an interesting comment from Voss. Would help explain their fade out against the blues, and perhaps also their strategy to attack so aggressively early (ie to build a winning buffer).

Can you post a link to voss' comments please.

Thanks in advance.


It was at the 7:50 mark of his post match press conference:

That's a great point about attacking early to create a buffer.

I was taken aback when he said they have been planning this since November… it’s some serious forethought and strategy.

I have always been a big fan of early momentum. Given the top 8 is typically settled after round 8 its critical to get off to a good start

I'd be filthy if I was a tigers fan.

How could the AFL not find a way to ensure the tigers had at least a 6 day break. Ridiculous.

I went to a music trivia night at a brewery instead of watching Carlton and I won a slab. I'd call that a win I guess.

@binman just wondering on your thoughts of the Richmond gameplan and style with Yze in charge?

did anyone else notice cripps throw the ball from underneath the pack to cerra for the snap goal in last quarter?

He's making a habit of this lately old Crippa and getting away with it.

Agree - applies to both individual games and seasons.

Def a calculated gamble by the lions to risk early season losses by tinkering with their fitness program, if that's what they've done (I haven't watched the clip yet).

One they obviously think is worth taking.

3 ACLs in 5 games.

AFL scheduling 5 day turnarounds and four games in humid conditions on slippery grounds.

I feel sorry for the umpires in the Grand Final. They won't know who to award free kicks to. Carlton or Collingwood.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
