Interesting how Quaynor just escorted that bouncing ball over the boundary with a minute to go! What is the rule on insufficient attempt?

    Pies have a bye then Port and Essendon on ANZAC day. 
    Hope they get smashed by both.

    Gee I didn't see a minute of the game because of work but it seems the hawks gave away a to big a lead at half time. 

    It also seems they dominated the final quarter but found it hard to get that extra goal.

    It's a shame they couldn't get that final goal & steal it by a point

    That last few minutes was perfectly set up for an outbreak of Frostball. Was hoping to see him go full Crazy Horse off half back and jag a winning goal from 60.

    Just left the game, as bad as Hawks were to half time once they worked Collingwood out Magpies had no idea, very lucky to hold on.

    Collingwood are putrid. 

    For three years they have gotten away with their dead ball gameplan whenever they're threatened. It is putrid football and Carlton does the same thing. It doesn't work without good ball users which they have. But if you stop their outside runners and in particular Daicos as Hawks did to some degree tonight, you can beat them. Hawks should have won that and would be hitting themselves over throwing that away. I reckon Pies are in for a rude awakening when they play GWS, Melbourne, and even GC.

    Think of it as an emotional hedge.
    We all want Collingwood to lose  but if they don't you're financially rewarded. I have a number of friends who have won/lost lots of money betting against their own teams.

    The AFL should all be sacked over this. But of course they will all survive. 
    They had 6 months to fully sort this out after the Adelaide debacle, and have done Sweet F$&@ all. 
    The Arc is pathetic. They spend time reviewing shots that are clearly fine, but refuse to make serious calls because the Cameras are total garbage 

    we the Fans and the Clubs must demand that the AFL fit 4k Cameras at every AFL VENUE 

    Paid for by the AFL, not the Broadcaster 

    Maybe the suits will have to take a Pay Cut

     

    I take it that you are a little disappointed with the AFL.

    They got their GWS awakening in round 0

    Bobo, presumably you are a fan of Radiohead. I assume you have a critical lens when you look at the world. I think you know the answer to your question 😊

    On a side note - this morning, I was reading about the death of 'music videos' and the art the goes into making them. I'd suggest that the music videos for the OK Computer singles were some of the best of all time as a combination.

    Huge fan… YES! The film clip to ‘Just’ is my favourite of all time. No surprises is also up there.

    That’s interesting, now that I think of it, I can’t remember the last time I really watched any music videos 🧐🧐🧐

    Have you seen the behind the goals vision BoBo? 
    Clark must’ve given the ump an almighty spray after Cottrell kicked the goal because you can see his teammate in Walker waving his arms telling him to stop. 

    I saw it last night yeah, I guess my inclination is, if umps had been paying the dissent rule more often, players wouldn’t feel like they could keep going? It’s another rule that is a victim of being applied seemingly at random thus players are now doing it more often. If it’s a rule then apply it every time it happens or get rid of it is my thinking.

    Yes he did. According to other media reports, it was quite vicious.

    Wouldn't exactly be something they haven't heard before, if they listened to it at the games i have attended.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
