Collingwood will run out of gas, Adelaide just can’t let the score blow out too much. They’ve been Burgessized so they’ll come back.

Dear Commentators, we know how old Pendlebury is and how long he’s been playing for; we don’t need to be reminded of these points every single time he has a touch or enters the frame.

You win POTY.

Pay 30% of Oliver’s salary and trade him.

How is that a free kick against McDonald? WTF

He’s not even that good. This is the scary thing.

Howie asked for Lewis to give us a run down on Fritz’s hair routine later. Stay tuned. Thrilling stuff.

Hawthorn’s skills Our skills.

And called touched by the kicker. What a joke haha.

I think it’s really important that we have a cross-section of the community on the head coach selection panel. I for one applaud the club for selecting a feminist.

There appears to be a significant disconnect between the coaching group and the board. Ethan’s assessment on the situation is as follows: Goodwin was implementing a long-term strategy aimed at positioning the team for a future premiership. This approach required a period of regression before becoming consistently competitive again. Several senior players expressed dissatisfaction with this direction, as they preferred to remain competitive in the short term and focus on playing finals. Goodwin’s vision and strategy were not well understood or supported by the board. The board’s decision-making has reflected a lack of alignment and professionalism. Their decision to part ways with Goodwin with only four matches remaining, and without a clear succession plan, highlights this issue. Further, the proposal to appoint Buckley—whose win/loss record is marginally weaker than Goodwin’s and who has not delivered a premiership—raises questions about the board’s rationale and long-term planning. While I would be pleased to be proven wrong, my concern is that the organisation may face ongoing instability over the next five or more years.

I’m sure the Lions weren’t expecting Logan Morris to come on like he has during this season. I wonder if Oscar Allen is still required?

A team effort with a heap of hard running and pressure. Kozzie to kick five. Dee’s by 37. [censored] the Hawks.

The only two reasons I can think of as to why Jobe is part of the process: 1. To vouch for Hird. 2. He’s a DEI hire.

No, the club fired him. He’s currently on gardening leave and after a specified period of time (normally three to six months) he could join another club. If he joins another club while we’re still paying him, if his contract with Melbourne has an offset clause, then the earnings from his new job would be deducted from the payout owed by us.

Zero chance that Nick Daicos would be suspended if he did what Shiel did. Zero. Yet again, the AFL proving that they’re a joke.

[censored] Collingwood.

[censored] Hawthorn.

It was of benefit for the AFL to ensure Footscray won. Great game though.

Why is there so much pre-game noise played by the stadiums? Sirens, people yelling into the microphone, [censored] music.

Junk time Bailey to the rescue.

Does any other team get ahead of itself more than what St Kilda do?

What a terrible free kick to Cameron.

Hudson won’t shut up about him. I feel sorry for his partner when he gets home.

Miers’ pokey little kicks give me the absolute [censored].
