Jumping Jack Clennett

What a modest and likeable young man he is. He just gave a really impressive interview on SEN. He said he wished he had been tried down back a bit earlier. A lot of us on Demonland thought that at the time, too.

Richmond really deserved to beat Essendon. A two goal turn around occurred when a player gave the ball to a teammate instead of the ump, costing a goal. After the ball up,the ball went up Richmond’s end, and a snap landed on the goal line, then amazingly bounced straight backwards.

A mysterious free for Hawks’ first goal. Later, Bannan marked in forward pocket, then a strange decision was paid for interference against her. It would have been a tough goal from the angle, but she’s done it before. We deserved to win.

Is 199cm tall enough for a ruckman these days.? Might he have grown since last year's measurement? Is 199cm his true height? His skills are good...and improving.

Our girls went in really hard all the game, with relentless tackling and pressure. At one stage we had 17 frees to their 3, which was pretty significant, but doesn’t compensate for the mauling we got from the umps in Fremantle.

I think it’s a pathetic article. Tells us nothing new. Poorly written and uninformed.

It helps to have 8 games per year on their own uniquely shaped ground, where they train, and with no opposition supporters at matches, which not only inspires Geelong players, but influences the umpires. These factors more than compensate for any “ culture” deficiencies.

I’ve often felt our girls get a bad trot with the umps…..but not tonight!!! The one_sided free count( our way) certainly decided the match. I’d be furious if I went for the Crows. But we deserved the win for the relentless endeavour. Sorry……I meant to put this in the match thread.

I was there. i didn’t see Clarrie but Tommy Sparrow told me that he was on their table.

Thanks a lot for the podcast, Fritschy, . What a great interview!

Am I alone in seeing an analogy to 2011 ( after 186)when we sacked Bailey, when all the players wanted Schwabb to go, not him?

During the 57 years we were non-flag winners, I always thought that what we lacked were about 4 absolute star players. Finally, by 2021, we had them! Let's get rid of the lot! That seems like a pretty good idea!

I was expecting Robbo to one day accidentally punch Gerard's ample nose with his wild gesticulations.

Will Verrall is "only" 199cm.

The umpires certainly determined the result of that game.

Thanks for this post, Sue. Interesting to see which media personalities "sell their soul" to get the big bucks from the betting companies. Interesting also to see how unsuccessful Jenkins's tips have been. He's always pontificating about good bets on SEN. I've wondered how often he's been correct. Sports betting really is a scourge on our community. It's great that MFC has abandoned Pokies. The AFL hasn't followed suit. It needs to.

In a very guarded way, Speed implied that the current CEO probably should not be on the review panel.

Because of this (and the hits on Giles and McMullin, he should NOT have a statue at the MCG.

I’m enjoying watching Carlton , and their supporters, suffer!

I remember that Final when they beat us. We were coming back strongly near the end, less than a goal behind, when Brad Miller gave them a downfield free , leading to the sealer for them.

Did he mean "Hearsay"?
