defense held up very well except when the ball came in on the deck and slippery. sydney are a top 4 side IMHO (or close to) and we wont be the only ones who get beaten up there. collingwood lost

He was just trying to smother. Mumford got in his way.

No worries derm, we'll open the *checks notes*.... march trade period and send the dogs pick 83 for JUH, that should sort it out

No because we're better than that.

There's no karma in footy. The only way it'd be equal karma is if m*****d was one on one in the backline and we were 3 points down with 10 seconds left and he did his knee and we kicked the winning goal by running past him helpless on the ground. In the grand final. Then I'd believe karma exists in footy again.

The afl reddit match thread is full of neutrals slagging maynard off. Easily most hated in the comp, not just by us

I'm putting ben brown in cotton wool until august. I think he only has 7 or 8 games in his knee a season, and when fit is easily our best tall forward.

Honestly I think we should do it every so often. It's an outside sport, you gotta win when the ball is a cake of soap and apart from a select few we couldn't handle the sweaty wet ball tonight.

Terrible handling of the wet footy. Cost us 4 or 5 goals. Was an issue last year too.

We are not good with a wet football.

i mean this is a guy who defended his footy club when they couldnt tell him what theyd injected into his son, instead of doing what id have done - sue the pants off them...(unless they knew exactly what they were given of course and were just lying about it)

a bloke i played footy with was accidentally knocked out cold in the last game of the season a few years back. i caught up with him a few weeks later. "you been to the doctor?" "na" if it wasnt the last game of the season he'd have been wanting to play the next week, i guarantee it. the club wouldn't have let him but not all clubs are like that.

...sydney will play significant finals.

I mean there's not much to admire about roy Keane but I say get him in for KB and tell him maynard is related to the older haaland. I'm not serious of course because we are better people and I expect us to channel our anger into the scoreboard.

hopefully having a 13 day break and a 12 day break as opposed to 2x 10 day breaks will help.

i will never be convinced ma****D executed his duty of care to gus. ever.

when are we going to start a breeding program and shack the boys up with the womens team to create a generation of superfootballers, born with footballs in hand? im joking btw

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA honestly my 4yo kid could be a better journalist than half of the afl journos. and he can barely write.

Yeah I was just thinking if I'd go with 17 or 18 on the field still. I think I'd go with 18 but that person can no longer take part and cannot be subbed out. So they can use the sub but on someone else and are down to 3 on the bench instead of 4. Mind you, country footy they go down to 17 players... so I wouldn't be unhappy with that either cos, well, don't do stupid things and get sent off

Honestly bumps like this and Maynard's are why there should be a send off rule. Because if you were an immoral piece of feces you could do this a few times in a GF or to the opposition's best player, win a flag and who cares about the suspension. Even in a home and away game it gives you an advantage as the opposition have to use their sub to replace someone they might not have wanted to replace at a time they don't get to choose. I'm not saying use a red card willy nilly but in cases like today's...

We looked like we've taken the summer media personally

Was moloney. Missed by a foot. Tbh I think that's actually how suspension should be metered out. If you try and knock someone for 6 but miss you deserve to go.

MRO ex Port Adelaide player? X tribunal chairman Port supporter? X Preseason game? Tick Head injury? Tick 4 weeks minimum.

Guys guys guys! Maynard is the victim here! /s

Ports mistake is not having the MRO or the tribunal chairman with connections to Port.
