I don't think it's talent, LDVC. I'm afraid it's that there is no system in place to hold the AFL to account for anything. So whatever it is that causes them to decide and do as they do remains unchecked.

Certainly not on 25/9/21.

Bit of time on my hands!... Let's assume we can't bridge the percentage gaps (though more on that later). And let's assume we can't catch Suns, Lions (currently 3 wins ahead) or Magpies (4). Next round, for us and the teams ahead of us on the ladder, if teams higher on the ladder than their opposition win, the 4th-11th 'wins ladder' will be: Crows 8, Cats 8, Hawks 7, Giants 7, Dogs 6, Dockers 6, Bombers 6, Demons 6. Then, if, in the remaining rounds, those 7 teams above us lose to those currently above them and defeat those currently below them, the final 'wins ladder' for them would be: Cats 17, Crows 15 + Demons game, Dogs 14 + Demons game, Hawks 13 + Demons game, Giants 13, Dockers 13, Bombers 11. Most likely minimum requirement, then, is 14 wins, to sneak into 8th, at the expense of Giants. Wins against Hawks, Hawks and Dogs, and Hawks, Dogs and Crows would be necessary for 7th, 6th, and 5th, respectively, to come into play in this scenario. So, at least 9 wins (including next week) from 12 remaining games, 3 of which are against current 1st, twice, and 3rd. If we could bridge the percentage gap to the Giants in this scenario (currently 17%) we could sneak into 8th with 13 wins.

Problem 1: Inconsistency Problem 2: Backs Problem 3: Grappling (Problem 4?: Wind?) Solution: Ball up where throw-in in existing system should arrive

...and to push him past Xerri into greater AA certainty 🤨😄

Choice of 2 (at the front of a very long queue...) That other one (or the one you actually mean?) unlikely to be playing - plantar tendon injury. No mention if it was the result of multiple football-act stampings-upon...

...viz, via Haymes All The Goals: 7th goal (Pickett), 10th (Salem), 13th (Sharp), 14th (Sparrow), 15th (Sharp).

Haymes All The Goals. Lengthy at last!

Not to me, Ding. I gotya👍

I hope he's also given him licence to talk finals - see today's Shun (yeah, just this once...sorry...) - outside his process-not-outcomes-tomorrow-this-week mantra! 😄

Half of Demonland, I suspect, DB*! 😄 (* Two letters themselves a part of that distant, simple, sporting yesteryear!)

I missed that (he's usually a 'we' or a '(our) club' type). I'll take it that he was seeking to give the credit for all the good things to 'them'. Roos, on the other hand, might (subconsciously?) have been distancing himself from the historically (and possibly then currently?) bad 'them'?

And so it came to pass. Both by himself and by the group. Phew!

Nope. See Goodwin's post-game 😄

'Twas the 'Are you not entertained' allusion I was referring to OD! 😉 Capability assessments, let alone comparisons, not generally my skill set...

Nah, we'd be good. See Hardwick's response to Lyon yesterday: we'd be playing almost to 2021 COVID opposition crowd numbers and look how that regularly turned out 😁 (Sorry, Sainters; I'm not normally this cruel...)

Cheekily smiling Goodwin in his presser: 'He's fine. He hobbles naturally.' 😄

Ouch.

I like your thinking, dd. That would be fun to watch!

My 2025 Tony Campbell.

What do we, Collingwood (1st), and Gold Coast (3rd) have in common, distinctly from the other 15? 4 wins from the last 5 rounds. As is often said in these hallowed halls, "Just sayin'"

What are they saying now, Spargs?

Worth 10, Doc.

Spelling awareness, tick. Punctuation awareness, on the other hand... Why did Isaac feel the need to apologise?

Surely this isn't newly minted!? However, if so... 👏
