That's 2 Collingwood wins in a row where I've turned off the TV right before the final siren so I don't have to see their smug faces or hear that god awful song.

Week 4 of opposition supporters audibly booing Maynard on TV. Any comment AFL?

No they haven’t.

Its not a free when the back man touches his opponents side and the forward  holds his hand in.

It’s also not a free kick when the forward just throws one arm behind him and the umpire imagines it is being held.

Soft as butter some of their frees giving charity goals.  

when the backman holds onto the arm and stops the forward going at the contest it should be a free

Some North players have to be on 200k+ more a year than they’d get at another club, just to meet their salary cap requirements.

Them and the Eagles are an example of where the minimum salary cap doesn’t work.

It's not always the frees they pay, it's the ones they don't, Cripps constantly throws the ball, two handed

North can't take a trick. They're playing Coldplay after every goal the score. 

Agree. Surely their fans have suffered enough

Clubs should be able to bank some of the money to help attract free agents. We’ve gotten so creative with points systems, we should allow some leeway.

Agree, but that wasn’t what I described to you on two particular incidents.

Commentators agreed btw, not that that proves anything.

Just announced Pendlebury gets a fine

Ooooooof course that's the outcome. Hey parents everywhere, the AFL condone players thumping opponents in the solar plexus unawares and off the ball. Keep that in mind when supporting your kids into a sport.

Correct. And sometimes he shrugs it out. Never penalised.

IMO the umpires appear intent on punishing North for being rubbish by rewarding Carlton every half-free kick they can find.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
