Unqualified opinion

A driving tackle with arms pinned breaking a collarbone is not a free if perpetrated by a filth player.

I was hoping the kid would go down holding his eyes as though he was gouged. Would’ve gotten him a week or two.

Umps are loving the filth here

Gawny just mentioned he wasnt feeling well and the heat took a toll. Dust off and get ready to smash the dogs.

You don’t win premierships before labour day.

How’s that not 50. Grow a pair maggot you were 1metre away

How would the nuffy not see that

Petty will make everyone better. Who goes to Petty JVR and Fritsch. Then add Kozzie and we have some very exciting forward half players.

My app says it still feels like 26 degrees up there. Will takes it toll. Hopefully we aren’t a player down with Bowey. But this is where we’ll see if selwyn is worth his paycheck. Hopefully our more seasoned players will start to roll over the top. Carn Dees 🔴🔵

[censored] [censored] umpire with no idea of distance

I so wished trac made Grundy pay for his error then

Great by trac. but where is the [censored] consistency - Sydney player tackled and just dropped ball. No different to rivers in first half but no call. Shame

There were two clear frees then. Sparrow held. Then dropping the ball. F M D

[censored]. Bowey has been one of the few clean players tonight and driving us forward off HB. Hope it is just a “stinger”

“Superb”. class from McVee

Holding the ball rules is adjudicated based on jumper colour.

These umpires are [censored] useless

JJ doing Melbourne things. about time fritta

Windsor is a player. Great vision there

Did someone forget the grippo?

Holding the ball? No can’t pay free straight in front of goal

Go dees!!

Same penalty as Hall got for his round house punch knocking Staker out cold. Times have changed….for the better. Very lucky Kozzie didn’t get more last year for his rd1 hit on Smith. And as picket and monoccular said above - [censored] me dead how they got it so wrong in September last year.

Not a fan of AFL imposed practice games (if the clubs want to then so be it but not HQ sanctioned), but good to see some dominant footy from the dees and of course no injuries is a blessing. Hopefully the club are ready for next Thursday and we all can move forward after this offseason. Windsor is looking like a jet and will be thrown in the deep end round one. Will be tough for hunter to get back in. Billings does just enough and is a classy player. Would love to see more but just don’t think that is him. But his kicking is a welcome addition. Salem in the guts is a great tweak to the magnets. Let’s hope he can stay fit and can assist the midfielders with his silky skills. A couple of negatives from tonight are fritsch’s kicking (surely he can’t be that bad again) and Tomlinson was exposed by McKay a few times (but the two Carlton forwards are one of the best duos going around). And lastly would be nice to see Oliver in the firsts getting his touch back with his teammates…..but can understand why he isnt there.

Has fritta done something with his hair?
