Why on earth did they choose Andy Brayshaw for an interview straight after the siren? He has a huge gash in his head and blood was running down the side of his face. There’s literally 22 other players they could interview.

Agree. Stupidity. Blood pouring down his face from a massive cut on his head. Terrible TV. All we could say was how ridiculous it was.

I saw him described somewhere as a generational talent DJ. I'm not seeing it, not in Tests.

A bit of humility would’ve been nice. Instead, he bolted out of the gates, the swashbuckling opener, and was his own biggest fan. His current run of failure might serve as a deflating of his big head.

And the commentators praising him for being so tough was also idiotic. Not a good message for kids who play footy.

He's a New South Welshman. Will certainly get a better run at it than the Renshaw's of this world

As it has always been and always will be.

konstas is a kid

surprised by yr attitude towards him @Ghostwriter given yr fervent defense of the mfc kids

he's played four tests; plenty of time to grow into the role

I’ve not met a single MFC kid who is cocky and ahead of himself like Konstas is, not even close.

I don’t doubt he’ll become a great batsman but he needs to remember he’s not there yet.

He absolutely lost me when he told Jasprit to “get back to your mark!” That’s disrespectful to say the least. Says a lot about him character-wise.

unnecesarily harsh

players on ground say all sorts of rubbish; there's many stories about the dees circa 2015-19 being VERY lippy

they won't be the first, nor the last

its a logjam from 3rd to 9th

Personally, i hope Hawks fall out of the 8 and doggies get in

We let warner go on 1 summer to late. Should never have let him dictate when he got to retire. We needed to settle on an opening pair ages ago.

Mind you usman isn't going much better

usman's form is as bad as warner's was

what do the three k's - khawaja, konstas, and kettleborough - have in common? none of em can pick an inswinger

So the tigs are 1 win behind us.

Compare their list to ours and that’s pathetic but probs sums up our season and where we r at unfortunately.

I’m absolutely scratching my head that they’re only one win behind us.

Admittedly, Essendon have such a lengthy injury list that it’s now an automatic 4 points when you play Essendon till the end of the season.

i live in thanks that we won't lose to them twice in a season, as playing an injury-ravaged peptides is exactly the sort of game where we kick 7.21 to lose by 3 or so goals

What’s with the media making excuses for Essendon?

This was their spine against Richmond:

B: Laverde, Ridley, Redmond

Mid: Merrett, Duursma, Durham, Tsatas

Forward: Wright, Kako, Caddy

On top of Setterfield, Prior, McGrath and Clarke.

Still enough quality there to beat Richmond.

Injuries are a reason, never an excuse. Dogs and GWS have done extremely well in face of personnel and injury concerns.

Umpires want the Swans to win. Some absolute howlers!

This saints/ swans game is very exciting

Went both ways in the end...

57 frees for the game

would be a perfect end to the weekend to see port lose at home to the eagles, also we play these mugs in a few weeks without jack graham

Swans season alive according to Derwayne. They’re three games and percentage out of the 8 with four games to play.

“Mathematically possible”, I guess. Them winning 4 on the trot and neither Bulldogs or Freo winning again seems fairly long odds.

Edit: it can be any two of Freo, Bulldogs, Hawthorn, Suns, GWS or Geelong to have to lose 4 on the trot, as well as Sydney going WWWW. Anyway, not happening.
