Kick the ball off the ground out of congestion. Outside of that I can’t see how the AFL avoid concussion within the contest. The contested area already doesn’t make sense. Players don’t understand it. Someone will snap their neck soon. The only way out of that is to kick it off the ground out of congestion. But that wouldn’t be considered I doubt. But basically, the game is heavily focused around the contested ball. It’s at the heart of Aussie Rules. If they change that they change the game. But if they don’t do something they’ll face payouts the AFL won’t come back from.

I hope it does go to court. Brayshaw deserves compensation.

Depends who is footing the bill.

We need competent forwards, not gun AFL level rucks who cannot play forward. Grundy in, would be a waste, as neither Grundy or Gawn are much chop up forward.

I don’t like Maynard. But he’d be stiff to miss a grand final on that. The rules are predicated on players sacrificing themselves at the expense of their opponents though, so I suspect he may end up missing the grand final game (should the pies make it). The adjudicators make the rules though. They’ll eventually foot a very big bill in the future, as they have a league full of players they encourage to recklessly sacrifice their own health.

I agree. Pick 2 is Reid anyway. North know it and won’t trade it. WC won’t trade 1 as they’ll miss Curtain. I think Reid is inevitably off to North.

North will just take 2, 3 to the draft.

As a massive JVR fan. I still think we’d consider that. But respectfully decline.

Just a great lead up. Beating Sydney at home, in a meaningless game. Really important we won this.

6. ANB 5. Fritsch 4. Brayshaw 3. Petracca. 2. JVR 1. McVee i know I’m probably missing an obvious one. Viney was good, Rivers ok.

Laurie massive

Massive impact

Bailey Laurie definitely up and about

Our game style isn’t conducive to playing for dead games. But they way things are going this might zap our confidence

Not really. He’s been out. Needs the run. If he can’t get back on his years done anyway.

Viney has, as he always does.

Ahwell. We’ll definitely be underdogs against Collingwood- which is good

Have to put Kosi in the middle. He could do as he pleases. Sydney mids have zero defensive pressure

That’s a terrible 50

I would too. He’s sh*t

This is perfect for us. Our mids are non existent today. Finally Sydney are punishing us.

We are in the box seat.

Brayshaw needed that

Some game Turner

Turner is playing very well.
