Unqualified opinion

Didn’t Goodwin rock up to his press’er? no vid on AFL app

Played their song in the car on the way home. Was a great rendition. Let’s hope they can shove it up the others left. Their style is finals worthy and list healthy. Hopefully this is their year now.

We were in both finals up to our eyeballs. A few players had stage freight but then again a lot of best 22 were forced to watch from the sidelines through injury. Petty brayshaw melksham all improve the team. I know I hark on about umpiring but I couldn’t believe Max wasn’t (in the umpires eyes) impeded in the forward pocket late in the third. So many soft ones their way that actually impacted. Very frustrating. if any Melbourne fan was denied a ticket from the wonderful people at ticketek then please request an inquiry because we were severely outnumbered. Not sure if was the injustice from tribunal, the pending straight sets or the cost of living crisis but we fans need to support the team better. Lastly our draft hand is impeccable this year. Do we get a gun midfielder for the next 10-15 years or do we look to bolster ruck, defence or forward line? Either way, a gun player will be walking through the door with a team prime for more finals. I’ll watch the replay and make a more informed decision on the performance. But from the pocket of the Olympic stand we so could have been the victors. Chin up. Come back hard next year.

Umpires - toe company (afl) line

Nathan Williamson is not worthy of a final. Umpire 22. No respect to Gawn who was impeded something chronic in the forward pocket.

why the [censored] are we subject to sellers at a home game. SEN sucks balls

I hope goody put a remote control cattle prob in schache’s jocks. When he comes on we need him to be electric(uted)!!

Gil (is and) was [censored] weak today and gave fuel to the posturing debate that Maynard was always going to be let off. He said that he was suspended for 3 weeks and then gave look as to say they’d done their bit. Didn’t even really refute that the prosecution was poor. Just scoffed like he already knew it. I really hope he is held personally liable in any current or future litigations.

Ben cuntington I’m glad he’s now retired. Just like Maynard, got media love for thug acts.

It’s offensive and a disgrace. I don’t know what we did to hurt them but [censored] me dead. And now they have a drug lord criminal on. Yep time to switch off jaded Ps. Bartel is way to good for that show.

Anyone watching classified. Lloyd is an absolute [censored] So insensitive.

Anyone know if the umpires have been hung dried and quartered for allowing play to go on whilst a player was unconscious on the ground? Lucky Fritta kicked the goal but what if he shanked it like his last shot on goal the ball was ‘live’? The AFL is inept in all areas.

Worksafe should charge Gil

Serious question, apart from Gleason who else was on the panel? Just updating my Xmas card list

They did. They cheered and chanted at him whilst being carried off. I know where you’re coming from but the outcome isn’t just.

Think McKay needs new lucky jocks. The rubber duckies didn’t work. Seriously though I do hope he is ok and walking off is a positive albeit being aided and a bit wobbly.

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.
