Both teams trying to be too fancy. Just kick the bloody ball.

Not sure. But if they weren’t included, Nick Daicos would have zero contested possessions against his name (for the record, he has not taken a single contested mark in the AFL).

In accordance with the laws of the game, a contested possession is a possession achieved as a result of winning a contest. Includes hard ball gets, loose ball gets, contested marks, free kicks won in a contest, and contested knock-ons. I have no idea how important they are. Are they important? Or does it simply depend on your game style/plan, the type of players you have, your opposition on the day?

Any truth to the rumour that he roundhouse kicked the doctor when he was born?

No, hate it, stop changing [censored]. Fix what’s broken.

Is Oliver leaving footy to start a band?

I made Covid so I could go to the 2021 Grand Final.

The media were all over the club and Oliver during the pre-season and at the beginning of the season. Morris is continuing to set-up the narrative around Oliver, now that we’re approaching the end of the home and away season. Once the season is complete and prior to the trade period, Morris will then go all in on the rumour (that he created).

I am not this Morris… I am @mauriesy

100%.

That is a really really easily dislikable panel. Tom Morris calls clubs randomly: Is Clayton Oliver gettable? Club: Every player is tradeable. Tom Morris: So basically, you’re saying that Oliver is gettable? Morris then reports that “the noise is enough, just for me to wonder whether or not something could be orchestrated.” I have no doubt that this is how, or similar to how, the situation went down.

Simple! Love it.

You’re happy with the changes because of one potential player, Daz? The timing of the “walk back” screams unprofessionalism.

The AFL was on the decline. Laura Kane and her incompetence is expediting the process. To give clubs only a couple of months notice of the change is pathetic.

Not a fan of the preferential treatment given to Charlie Cameron in the past, however, his three match ban being upheld is a joke. The Prosecutor offered alternatives to what Cameron could have done in the situation. One of those pieces of advice was that Cameron should have let one of Duggan’s arms go during the tackle. This is absolutely idiotic advice. Make the game non-contact, or accept that concussions are still going to occur, even when a tackle is executed correctly. That brings me to my question; how can a player be penalised when they execute a tackle, in accordance with the laws of the game?

And Dangerfield gets one week, overturned on appeal, for his tackle on Walsh. I wonder if him being the Head of the PA came into play?

I hope you read it in Sleepy Joe’s voice.. gave myself a giggle.

Agree. That way, if he backs out after three years, we can demand more at the trade table.

Essendon won’t make the finals. % of 98 and they’ve had an easy run.

Draper was terrible. He got a few touches around the ground but generally just bombed his kick long (1/2 times to a Demons player). A decent to good ruck would’ve taken the game by the nuts, given he was playing against two non-rucks.

Draper head-butted Turner’s foot. That’s the way I saw it.

I applaud the umps when they come out. They do an amazing job.

Just watching the replay now.. watching Essendon lose will never get old.

They they they kicked……….. one thousand goals.. no no no….. a million goals a million goals think about that pause. Or whatever it was. Like back back back when I grew up as a black kid in the neighbourhood my parents were Jewish they survived the war and they trekked Antartica and then climbed Everest. They were the first the first to do it solo. True story. But that was back in Vietnam when…. when I was I was was a Green Beret with Delta Force and the seals the Navy Seals were there also. But but but………………. uncle Jim on my dad’s side he he he challenged hitler to an arm wrestle and this was to decide the war true story no really it is. Anyway put his arm up and he won the wrestle he wrestled him but that happened that happened. And then… then I got into an F22 raptor and flew it home all the way home just like that true story that was back when you could do that full stop.

Hinkley won’t be coaching next season.
