I thought clubs were supposed to 'earn' prime time games. With the Blues getting all these Friday night spots surely they aren't going too bad?

That's all well and good, but at no point does he say 'we're preparing for Adelaide's best'. Rookie error.

Fair call that, if I do say so myself. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-16/no-more-warnings-on-umpires-exit-path

Exactly, so having fought the charges, if these 2 now go they should be given 2 weeks.

So perhaps they should revert back to the old days when they wouldn't [censored] fart around telling everyone they're running straight back after they bounce/throw up the ball. It means nothing because obviously if there was any contact it would be accidental.

Does anyone know who from the Hawks was playing on Bull? AFL listed or VFL quality? His last 2 games have surely been very hard for the selection committee to ignore. If he keeps it up they'll have no choice but to swap him in for Weid. I'm not saying Weid should be dropped but it's looking a lot like Bull offers more at present.

Whenever I read the name Cunnington I fiind myself looking for a missing 'T'. Can't stand him, grub. Good player though, Clarrie's better. As for Robbo, he sucks, at life.

If Viney's still on the park, he needs to get off NOW. Game's over, sniping starting.

Are they now just referring to Casey players as 'Casey'? Bunch of Rex Hunt wannabe cockheads

The Suns won't get much confidence from their NEAFL game. With 11 Suns listed players, they lost to the Lions 12.24 (96) to 0.4 (4) . Didn't kick a [censored] goal!

Unless your name's Isaac Smith

The delayed onset was the major concern.

Does this mean he's getting his own super hero movie?

Thanks for the Nev info. I swear one of Clarrie's handballs he never actually took possession, more a scoop up and handpass with the one action. Poetry in motion. It was also funny watching one of the highlights where he sold a handpass dummy. It would've been a ridiculous pass but he sold it because he's capable of pulling off the impossible. They fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

Possibly, but only because we stank it up big time. A professional club should be planning for success and hopefully we're now on the right track so the deal needs to be looked at. Those games do serious damage to the specific statistic discussed in this thread, and I'd guarantee prospective sponsors look at those numbers. They would also be looking at the number of Melbourne based games if they were after that specific exposure. It may have cost us sponsorship dollars over the last 5 years, but almost certainly will cost us in the future. It's also probably helped the AFL argument that we don't deserve Friday night games, costing us more exposure. Living overseas i'm regularly checking the international broadcast guide and I can tell you 'the wedge' game on a Sunday has absolutely no coverage OS - unless you have the Watch AFL app. That's the middle game, where the early and late games are covered, back to back. Without looking at the rest of the fixture, from memory we had that game a lot last year, and 2018 is heading in the same direction. Unfortunately it's impossible for us to work all that out, hence the discussion I suppose.

Sounds like a great idea, apart from the access options. Question, is it possible to go back and watch all of Jetta's involvements to see where he was punched in the face?

Ah ok, thanks. That explains the Jack Steele $2000 fine I guess. He perhaps should've punched Maxy in the face, apparently there's no charge for something like that....

Did anyone else notice toward the end of the game big Maxy was unable to compete in a ruck contest? Looked to be having some kind of back pain I thought???? No idea though as he was ready to go for the next ruck dual. I thought it was odd but no mention of it from commentators or anyone since.

Intentional, high contact, [censored] force. 1 week.

We'd probably try to turn him into an inside mid unfortunately.

When did they self-report? They were about to be raided and were warned in enough time to destroy evidence. Delusional [censored]!

So he played for Carlton then?

Umps will be looking to fix up the free kick count here, if Power make the most of it they'll win this.
