Now there is talk that Sandown race course will be closed down and made into a "super suburb". That's a hell of a lot of land. Surely there's room there for a big park for the new homeowners ... with an MCG-sized oval, first class training facilities (for local clubs), swimming pool, gym (for the locals who aren't into outdoor sport), offices (saves on commuting), convention space, and (hopefully) enough room left over for a trophy cabinet. And I bet indigenous and disabled facilities are currently under-represented in the surrounding suburbs area ...

That showed 'em. Don't come into a game against Melbourne if you're underdone or mentally off the boil, or we'll do that to you.

There was one at the 12 minute mark of the 2nd quarter, and another one right at the start of the 4th.

... running out to the new club song "Yackety Sax"

I think I must have died at 3/4 time. I am now in heaven. Up here, Petracca is kicking goals. It really is paradise.

No, that's extra

We're right on top and giving these [censored] a football lesson.

Jeffy's forward pressure. It's elite. Too bad about all the rest of his game.

There was a power failure and the lights went out. Play went on anyway and the sides did fairly well to score 1.5 between them given they couldn't see what they were doing.

Hmmmmmm .... an idea. If we maim all their players, and we're the only ones on the field, we may be able to score some behinds. (Goals is asking too much.)

Stewy's got a wicked sense of humour

That's exactly what happened with the next 50 to the Pies.

There is nothing in the rules about protected zone except when actually taking your kick. It's not defined when moving to the next mark. AFL strikes again with another "interpretation" of something not even in the rules. Like with the Rampe goal post shake. Can argue whether it was intentional. Probably the correct ruling though. But there is no rule about climbing on the goal post. TL;DR: the rules are poorly written

We're going to pioneer an at-sea training facility and club headquarters? For once we're ahead of the pack. Kudos for lateral thinking, MFC.

Are you a true football supporter if you DON'T take delight in bombers pain?

With Fishermans Bend opening up, perhaps the time is right to make a pitch to the govt about a community hub sports facility, with a big oval at the centrepiece, changing rooms for local sports clubs (many of whom are crying out for facilities let alone grounds to play on), etc etc etc .... oh, and it might just be a good base for the MFC too. Anyone know if it's in a marginal seat?

How Channel 9 sees Sam Newman: How the rest of world sees Sam Newman:

I will confess, Eddie rubs me up the wrong way, but it is impossible to deny he has been very effective for Collingwood.

Jack's thought process ... "Am I recovered from my injury? Let's see now ... it only hurts when I breathe. Yep! Am I ready to run through someone? ..... if I only do it using one leg, yep! Am I ready to crawl over broken glass? That'll only hurt my knees ... might even give my foot a rest. Good to go!"

What Pert is finding, I am guessing, is that "Gary Pert CEO" does not cut nearly as much ice when it is not on "Collingwood" letterhead. Might as well be Sid Flubb asking the govt for money for digs to host the world scrabble tournament.

Guys guys guys. Can't we all just agree to hate on Eddie McGuire?

Within a few rounds, some journeyman mug player will whack someone in the head, with a raised elbow, airborne, and will cop 4 weeks, because (a) the head is sacrosanct!, and (b) no one in the media will be sticking up for them, saying "aw, we don't want to see players rubbed out just because of something like that" The whole issue is not how many weeks it deserves. Give it nothing, or give it 8 weeks. Give it anything you want. But give the same thing every time, every player, for that offence. The current chooklotto, with inside running for stars, is what pisses people off.

Do not smite thy brother above the shoulder, for ye knoweth that the LORD hath decreed that the head be sacred. For thy sin, the LORD assesseth high, deliberate, and lowly impact, but the LORD looketh fondly upon thee, and merely demands of ye one ox and one sheep. Cometh to think of it, [censored] that. Pisseth off, ye mischievous little scamp.
