Unqualified opinion

If Tom Morris is correct and the AFL’s powerbrokers were involved in sending this to the tribunal, then surely they’ll appeal any tribunal non-decision to ensure Maynard’s suspended for the rest of the season. He knew exactly what he did and quickly went in to self preservation mode knowing he just [censored] his season. Hopefully the tribunal can see through his antics and the moronic football media to stamp his thuggery out of the game.

I still feel like Fritsch’s last kick for goal……ugly punt

Cmon Dees. Use this elite fitness and kick a bloody goal!!

Needs to be in every centre bounce from here

Umpires have been poor

Just looking at supercoach / ranking points (I know grain of salt with champion data…) but looks like Rory Laird, Tim Taranto, Andrew Brayshaw and Josh Dunkley are a bit stiff not to make the squad. Not surprised other Dees were overlooked - true wingers aren’t sexy enough, defenders need midfieldesque stats (or be named Harris), and only forwards with large bags are picked. We have a good spread across all lines. Then for some of those who did make the squad the stats paint a different picture (one where the selectors must have had their captains pick). De Goey only played 18 games, ranked 58th for average score. Only had 4 matches over 120 points (my marker for a good midfield game). Josh Daicos played all 23, ranked 46th for average score and 26th overall. Only 5 matches over 120 points. Jai Newcombe played 22, 48th rank for average and 39th overall with 2 games over 120. Dustin Martin played 20, ranked 66th for average score, 94th overall and only 3 matches over 120. Patrick Cripps played 21, ranked 53rd for average, 60th overall and 3 matches over 120. To contrast the above with Petracca - played 23, avg points 4th, overall points 3rd and 11 matches over 120. Bontempelli - played 23, avg 1st, overall 1st and 15 over 120. Viney played 22, avg 43rd, overall 33rd and 5 matches over 120. Dunkley played 21, avg 10th, overall 20th and 8 matches over 120. Laird played 22, avg 5th, overall 7th and 10 matches over 120.

Put those feet on ice fritta. You’ve earned the 3 votes.

Way to take the excitement out of the game.

Arm chop on rivers?

I might get a call up to goal umpire soon. The ones they have are useless (except D Rodan).

Good defensive running there Dees

How’s that not a free to mcvee?

Why take an eternity to call a clear htb?

If Yze is successful, what is everyone’s thoughts on Stuart Dew replacing him as the midfield line coach?

Are these bush league umpires? And Why wouldn’t the field umpire call out of bounds ?

Was curious too whether Rivers’ perpetrator was cited. But looking on AFL app I couldn’t find anything. Obviously the no injury - no case to answer…… If it was the earlier rounds both would’ve received a week…..but somehow the rules change

Yes please, and then collectively draft the “please explain” letter to the umpiring department.

Well done umpires. Again [censored] you channel 7

Oliver held. No call

These [censored] umpires aren’t up to finals standard.

Tripped. [censored] off [censored]

That and suspensions for hitting players high

That will be on bounce from Hibbo. BANG!!!

Flopped. Weak as [censored]

Played on from a mark. Umpires having a mare
