    The most interesting point in Wilson's monologue is that Kate Roffey discussed with Smith, two weeks ago, his coming on board and possibly taking over from her as President...

    Before the so-called 'train wreck' interview with Whateley...

    Before Morris called her position untenable (hinting at a possible racist point of view she expressed about players getting homesick)

    It seems Kate, after 8 years on the MFC Board and three years as President, has managed her own exit according to her own priorities.

    Looks like good forward planning by someone with the best interests of the club at heart.

    Fairly disappointing the attitude some supporters (not aimed at WW by the way) take towards a premiership club president, mostly because of a single poor interview.

    This is a classic case of being a good employer. He's been with the club more than 10 years, has clearly given everything and isn't a huge asset (from a financial/picks point of view like Petracca or Pickett). My view is this is likely his all time career best year so importance is overstated.

    AFL clubs have a bit of a history with this kind of trade and trying to build goodwill for future trades (the anti-Dodoro if you will). Frankly will it matter if we get 35 instead of 28?

    I follow a lot of English/European soccer - star players are untouchable until they're not. Irreconcilable differences are irreconcilable until they're fixed. Which pragmatically they usually are.

    I don't want Petracca to leave but if he forces the issue, the club has an incredibly strong hand with a 5 year contract and a competition top 5 player in the mix. I can't see how there is a conversation with anyone other than Carlton based on information currently available but see how the dust settles over the next few weeksĀ

    Which means Motor Bike Cameron should get 3 weeks for the sling tackle but wont even be citedšŸ¤®

    He got a week.

    Consistent with the Kozzie decision - any head high rough conduct will get a minimum medium impact even if there's no actual damageĀ

    The stat Iā€™d really like to see is some sort of net score involvement. Ā Score involvements minus turnovers that result in opposition scores. Ā That would allow a better assessment of players in similar roles.Ā Ā 

    Good call.

    Also the NBA style team +/- when a player is on the field, though doing this with 36 players at a time rather than 10 may be a bit tricky...

    If we Dont play Clarry and it goes to the wire.... and we lose... Good luck on this sitešŸ¤Æ

    If our culture is so fragile that it requires Oliver having an unofficial and hidden (from the public/supporters) first team suspension to not shatter it, we have some pretty deep issues.

    I don't have blind faith in the club, but I don't believe that we have problems of that magnitude.

    If you believe in selection integrity, there is absolutely no rational justification for Oliver not playing given he has been reintegrated into the team and has played two practice matches.Ā

    Is really finishing 7th or 8th such a massive achievement that it needs to be protected? Can't see that it has an impact on 1-6.

    Carlton missed the finals last year by about a goal in percentage, we missed it in 2020 by half a game - I'd be happy for it to be brought in, especially going to 19/20 teams in the next few years.

    I haven't seen this game tonight but they are seriously underperforming.

    I fear for Vossy, don't know whether the board can hold their nerve...

    Voss isn't an AFL standard coach. Carlton should be pushing top 4 and nailed on finals with their list, not bottom 4.

    JDG in trouble ? Letā€™s see what Ā Mr MRO does with this one.Ā 

    Careless, high and severe. Straight to tribunal and 3 weeks - unless the kid has a broken jaw in which case 4-6

    Yet what happens, if, sometime in the future a similar thing happens but the interchange steward and not the club got the count wrong?

    Then that would be an equally massive stuff up.

    It was because the ball was inside there 50. The free kick is where the ball is. But yeah it's harsh but all the other teams have managed to count

    100%

    Everyone knows what the rule is - it's not hard. Is a real pity for North though.

    Can anyone explain fairly why Chol was overlooked?

    Crackers

    Grinter

    Schwarz would all get 6 weeks

    Kane Cornes on SEN referred to this and called Chol the luckiest person this weekendĀ

    I think some people are underestimating the Suns. They are a good team, not a top 8 team ATM but they are getting there. How good was Anderson? Almost single handily won them the game. Good win against tough opposition I'd take that any day of the week. If we struggle against the Hawks then I'll be worried about the team's form.Ā 

    Anderson's game was extraordinary, especially given the opposition. He looks like being an absolute superstarĀ 

    I'm pretty glass half full - Suns are very good at home, we won inside 50s by a fair margin (albeit other metrics weren't great) and game would have been iced half way through the last if Fritsch kicked straight (which he normally does and I expect he will do in future)
