Much appreciated but I was thinking of the advertisement that they’ve been playing constantly during breaks in the footy where a woman boasts about having been part of an iconic girl band but nobody recognizes her. It’s very off putting and makes me very happy that next week, I can actually enjoy the game in person and not have to watch it on television because, thanks to the AFL, my team has played three of the first five games of the season in another state, including twice within five days. There should be a law against this.

Gotcha.

The Telstra footy ad drives me a bit mad.

If.... The footy bus with all the players breaks down and they call the pub for help. Wouldn't you just organise another bus to pick them up rather than get another bus load of players?

I guess it's a typical Telstra / AFL move. With no clear logic applied.

I thought Kozzie was the victim of a blatantly high tackle right in front of goal very early in the game.

Apparently I was hallucinating.

Didn't see a replay of it, so you must have been "seeing things" Bitter 😁

If this is anything other than careless, high, low impact, fine we should sue. 

Seriously, we lost a player FOREVER to a bump with ten times the impact, more intent and incredibly severe consequences, (it knocked a player out through a helmet for two minutes FFS!) for NO suspension! 
 

Also the media can get stuffed! Where’s the “football act” horseplop from last year?! Or the “love tap” bulltish from last week?! Maynard ends a guys career, “football act, can’t suspend for that”. Pendlebury tries some martial arts to the diaphragm “love tap”, Kozzie jumps on the spot to smother a handball and lightly brushed a guys cheek, “suspend him, coach discipline him he has issues!!”. [censored] this noise!

It was a free kick, but because the AFL needs to protect the head in the wake of the serious time it failed to protect the head six months ago it will be a fine, any more than that and the MFC should seriously consider legal action.

I think the tribunal (channel 7) have already given him 2 weeks in the post game wrap up in the sheds.

Can we get Taylor Auerbach on to the case with the MRO team for a few sensual massages and tomahawk steaks before they meet and rub him out for two weeks?

They usually have dinner while they pretend to dilereberate. I'm sure there's scope here.

Maynard = 0 (and a complimentary premiership medal)

Kozzie = -2

Max held around the waste / pulled away from the ruck comtest by the guernsey on at least 3 to 4 occasions and nada zilch ignored!

Was it Howes pushed square in the back in the square for Dawson's goal in the last?

That was an amazing win given the bias of the yellow fellows tonight.

I reckon Max had an arm wrapped around him at 80 percent of ruck contests tonight. He was held consistently at rucks. Yet, there were two holding free kicks paid to forwards (one to us and one to them) for lesser holds.

It does my head in how he's allowed to be scragged week in week out.

It was Rivers that was shoved in the back for that mark. They didn't even have the guts to show a replay of the mark and goal to Adelaide.

Why didn't they talk about or even replay the clear push on Rivers by Dawson?

I wondered the same thing as well. No replay at all. It was just such a blatant push in the back.

Yay we won on expected score too.

 

I'm glad that AFLx is still alive!

Mystery of the night for me.

Who is the chick who was in one of the world’s most iconic girl groups but nobody recognizes her?

My problem is that I don’t recognize her. 

I think you're thinking of Divine.

If you check at the 1min 44 sec mark, that's Tex gazing into her eyes.

A hint of 21 about this season.

I thought 2022 in some ways.

We're still spluttering a bit but getting the job done.

Lots of players down a bit.

Billings, ANB, Clarry, Viney, Langdon. Salem

But, so many great efforts carrying us through.

Petracca, one of the best games I've seen him play. He just busted through so many packs.

TMac, May, Lever, McVee, Kozzie, Gawn all carried us through.

That tackling in the last quarter was inspirational. You could also see the skill difference at the end. We were just much cleaner gathering the ball in contests.

JVR, he's copped a lot of criticism but I reckon he's just competing around the ground so well. More marks and goals will follow. I think he's going to be am awesome KPF for us.

And Windsor, week by week, he's just looking more like Robbie Flower. Some rookies have a couple of good ones and then fade. Caleb seems to be just growing in confidence and stature.

I scoffed a bit at the Robbie comparisons at first but I'm really starting to see it.

We're getting the job done without being spectacular at the right end of the season.

One more big one next week and then we can take a well earned breath.

Go Dees

Fat boy walker is running free tonight

The umpiring is absolutely corrupt tonight - BBB mark reversed then #12 pushed Rivers clearly in the back - mark said - goal.

#22 is the worst I have ever seen

They're all in tonight.

We are such a soft, polite club.

When are we going to call this out.?

Frees 17 to 8.

They're 27 points down

we should have a runner to take the handball from maxy in those situations. he never kicks those. 50 meter out on an angle no problem but everything else less than 50/50

We missed three set shots in a row at the end.

We could have iced it.

You don't want them anywhere near us in the last with that crowd.

We converted so well last week.

Need to convert this last quarter or we'll be in strife.

Jack Billings kicking seems as bad as Maxies

Well done Rooey.

He split the pack at a vital contest on the wing beforehand too.

He's getting there.

Haven’t seen much of Billings. Is it time for a sub? 

Woey not getting enough game time. Bring him on.

Since when can you engage the forward with your back to play? [censored] cheats

5 goals in front. 5 free kicks to their 13.

How’s the wind?

I've had some spicy chicken wings and several beers. Likely to increase this half.

We need to put the foot down and get 5 or 6 goals clear of the crows and umps (crumps) in the 3rd.

Kozzie gone at least a week for that hit imo.

Nothing in it. 

2 weeks

That was hilarious. Pickett should have received the ball from Roo to start with. He just had to turn around and go back and get it and kick the goal anyway.

Just now, whatwhat say what said:

DUMB chinny chin chin

No it wasn't. That was not late.

Max having another ripper.

Yep for sure.  he is being held with arms around him at every ruck contest.

Oliver. 3 kicks. 2 scrubbers. Way off tonight 😭😭😭😭😭

May, chandler and clarry all looking sore

Interesting watching May. He's brilliant, but needs time to recover. 

If we can get it clear and there's repeat efforts he's going to struggle.

Can we sneak him out there with a green whistle down his jocks?

Demontime

Wow, so many htb NOT called against the crows and then bang, htb against howes red hot directly in front.
