What was the free against Woey for?

Beautiful movement and delivery from Billings.

And confirmation that you can seemingly cast from the AFL app to a Chromecast or tv or similar. Yet to see the quality but it does work.

Am I reading correctly that the AFL Live App is the only way to watch this? Not free to air or Kayo?

Outrageous!

Because scores were level.

Is that 4 free kicks to Collingwood in a minute?

Banno with the contested mark and a shot at goal marked by Hore!

Absolutely rigged. Another terrible decision Collingwoods way, coating us a shot at goal.

Great one on one win there, and a good long kick.

And wouldn't let a Melbourne player go to the mark.

Has the weather cleared a bit? We look a little cleaner with the ball and have started moving it really well. Hore has been pushed forward of the ball (after being behind the ball and on the ball in the first half), and she's been instrumental in both goals.

Unreal goal to Hore, snapping around her body in traffic in the pocket.

Heath out. Went for a HIA. Reports on tv said "she's ruled out for the rest of the game with an elevated heart rate". I have no idea what that means.

Umpires helping Collingwood here. No way that kick didn't travel the distance, no holding the ball etc. High pressure game, we are struggling to use the ball cleanly which is our game. I suspect we are trying to keep Collingwood from scoring and win it that way, rather than win it by smashing them.

Shocking decision, should have been a shot from directly in front

Pisano's kick inside 50 for Zanker goal was great.

I think he looked more at home as a hunter - or at the least someone who's role was to be in the chain - compared to how he looked in the AFL high half forward role which is more about holding structure and covering ground and then being ready to receive when the opportunity presents.

Honestly, if our new coach is choosing who to retain based on whether they show up to watch the ressies final during the rholiday, then they have their selection criteria wrong. I can't believe anyone is that much of a line ball decision that it would make a difference.

There is a lot to like in this squad.

All good points as well. It is much more complex than"drop them to put a rocket up them".

My guess is because these things are complex. He seems to be a confidence player as well; perhaps they felt he was someone who would respond positively to encouragement and support and self belief rather than to punishment and being chastised?

We have as many picks as we need list spots. If we need to draft 12 players, we will have 12 picks. But the last 7 picks might be all in a row at the end of the draft.

It's because those people seem to think "change the coach and it will all get better".

AMW back in the squad puts a bit of pressure on Salem and also potentially provides cover for Rivers or McVee to spend more time in the middle too. I think his injury probably set back some of those plans.
