Has the AFL made any comment about the state of the ground?

It will be “AFL grounds have never been better.”

Disgraceful tunnelling tackle not paid that quarter 

Umpire was right there😡

Umpire 26 looked straight at it side on from nearby and just waived play on.

Hipwood should be suspended for that as Blakey could have broken his neck, let alone the potential to be concussed.

I’m are they cone out and say it was an incorrect decision after the game.  But it was so obvious to everyone watching,

Just a blatant lack of understanding of the situation. Bump, yes, but not when you should be contesting the ball.  
Should be the same as contesting a ground ball - a duty of care for the player in a vulnerable position.
Could also apply to Gulden’s tunnel on Berry, but at least he pretended to go for the ball.

And it was a mark as well

Not even remotely true. 

If we lose we’ll be 2 points out of the 8, and still within one game of 5th (possibly 4th too, if Brisbane lose).

Our draw gets easier from here, not harder, with the last three (Port, GC, Coll) easier than the next three (Fremantle, GWS, Dogs).

Beg to differ

3-3 won't cut it

Dogs have a superior percentage and three teams now in the eight have the benefit of a drawn game

 

Ridiculous 50 to the blues to decide the game

 

and another free inside to make sure of it

North we’re coming hard and only 8 points down

Umpiring late in games that significantly impact results will be the reason people stop going to the footy.

Unless they support Carlton. Whole season is a joke. As corrupt a competition in all sport. Well sports entertainment.

This season is so out of whack. Teams are getting pumped 1 week then playing like contenders the next.

It was just about the perfect round except for us losing
