Do you know why Temu is so cheap? They actually make their money by selling your personal details on to third-parties (including criminal networks). 

Just look at clubs NSW with the latest data breach. " Oh just go and replace your ID documents such as driver licences".

Mmm, not so easy.

    What more can a coach do if his medical staff have cleared a guy to play and he's ticked all boxes?

    Sometimes the only thing a recovered hamstring injury is susceptible to is another hamstring injury.

    Yes that is true. Our defence is all time legendary. 

    God help us when our backline eventually breaks from being relied upon for the millionth time.

    #classic Demonland.

    Defence works 999,999 times.

    It's doesn't work on the millionth occasion and it's all doom and gloom

    Careful @Demonland. It’s not as if we’ve got the best finals form line recently, either.

    It's also not a one-way street. I've noticed in the past that the MFC is one organisation to have acquired my data from a third party.

    BT just described about JHF when he had the ball, actually said the horney one. What the hell

    One stage I heard him saying something along the lines of "been lots of dirty balls tonight" referencing Port's inside 50 entries.

    Yes, Port are a dirty team but BT... too far man.

    If anything happens in footy this week more stupid than playing someone a single WEEK after a hamstring tear, it’ll have to be REALLY stupid.

    And that wasn't even the stupidest thing.

    Rozee slightly hyper extended his leg, in much the same way as he did to hurt it the previous week (a weird action I've not seen before in terms of a hammy injury - is that a common way to hurt a hammy @Webber?)

    Was clearly limping. Went to the bench for 9 minutes or some such.

    AND CAME BACK ON, before getting subbed off a short time after.

    Hinkley said he erred selecting him, but was adamant there was no risk of further damage by putting him back out on the field.

    He may well be right, but if you think it was a unnecessary risk picking him, why double down and risk putting him back on?

    Variations thereof, yes. Hamstring tears occur substantially at full pace acceleration on the leading leg. Just after the foot secures in the turf, the hamstring load goes from 0 to 100 in order to pull the body through. That’s when they happen - maximal tension at full length. The idea of not making it worse by sending him back on is wishful thinking at best, delusion at worst. Staggering stuff. I don’t get it.

    Rozee should not have been playing and should not have come on for a second time either. The insanity is partially explained by the fact that Port hate, hate the Crows. Its not some puffed up faux rivalry, they really can't stand each other (I have a work colleague who supports the Crows and another who follows Port).

    Kenny is getting pretty desperate I think. They extended his contract but if they continue to falter and lose the same way as they have done for a little while now I think they'll move him on, with the succession plan already in motion. Cornes this morning suggesting the loss felt a lot bigger for Port than just a 'regular' loss and that maybe it sums up a lot about Hinkley and what he's done over the years. He's been there a long time now and they still appear a bit flakey to me.

    15m in Melbourne must be about 30m in Adelaide as both JHF and Rankine have run a mile without bouncing.

    Another nnon-universal rule of the AFL.

    I am mystified by how far players can run when kicking-in after a behind.  I'd assume they can't run more than 15m from the end of the goal square. Yet they often run much much further than that and it would be easy for the umps to judge given they have a 9m ruler nearby.  Am I missing a rule?

    Thank goodness I'm working tonight so I don't have to see a second of the game. Although it will be a massive crowd and an interesting game

    As horrible as both of these teams are, I am looking forward to watching this game.

    Hoping for a very fair, close and clean game.

    And may they smash each other into next year!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
