Mine not stopping and starting but very blurry. Haven't had any clear vision yet.

Despite many attempts of excavation, I believe Mav Weller is still somewhere beneath the turf after that one. Brutal.

Spot on. Plus he is generally disliked by opposition supporters whereas the other guys aren't. His game is constantly disrespected by opposition fans. His 45 on the weekend were "only against North". Or his 22 contested possessions were "throws" or "nothing backwards possessions". "How many flops did he get" etc etc etc. Outside of Demons supporters, only true football fans understand exactly how good he is. One of the authors for The Mongrel Punt is one such fan and is always raving about him for exactly the same reasons we all do. It's a shame the other supporters can't see past their own personal opinions of the great man so they can appreciate an absolute master and future GOAT in action.

That is an excellent package. Couldn't love that any more.

Very surprised someone gave Oliver 4, and even more surprised that Viney received 0 from one of them.

My favourite. The Washington Generals would have a better chance of winning. In a twist, the AFL are going announce a combined team on Thursday night made up of the best of our available list and theirs. They're going to call it "Melbourne".

I first noticed in the Richmond game. Bolton is a genuine star and Hunt kept him very quiet indeed. Liam Ryan had 5 touches yesterday. He has all the tools to do that role well and I'm stoked to see him performing. One of my favourites for sure.

The Richmond GF game day thread is quite the eye opener. Most other clubs' supporters were very generous with their praise and understanding of the greatness they were witnessing. So many Richmond supporters were lamenting the fact they weren't in there because they could have easily beaten both grand finalists.

$19 for a two horse race is outrageous. not sure I've ever seen it, not even at our worst or even when GC/GWS first entered the league. I reckon a few have thrown a bit of money at it purely for that reason, shortening the odds slightly.

Found it. Also, someone calls Christian Salem "Christian Slalom" and really enjoyed his own work. "they are corporate - of course they are hypocritical. Its not so much the affair which ruined him with the league - it was all the stuff that happened in the Gold Coast hub period. The Cotchins, Kebabgate etc. As i have said before, i have it on very very good authority that at a time when the AFL were scrambling to keep the competition running to avoid tens of millions of dollars lost....a literal lifetime or achievements [censored] away in one massive pandemic wee .... at a time when they were trying to work out the near impossible logistics of running a national league in a hub, re-accommodating 16 clubs, their entire list + their families, staff..... our club was BY FAR the most annoying, entitled and consuming of their time. Our demands were ridiculous - we had players contacting the VERY HIGH UP AFL officials about ridiculous request like asking for food to be delivered to their rooms at the AFLS cost. One story i heard was that a player contacted Gil directly to ask about getting their pet dog bought up to the hub on the basis that it was his GF's "emotional supporter" animal - it was totally, ******* ridiculous stuff. It all boiled over with the "Cotchins Wife" massage parlour thing. The club then got its [censored] together and just on the cusp of [censored] getting really dicey, Stack and CCJ pulled the "Kebabgate" [censored]. The AFL had ZERO time for our [censored], they saw 17 clubs doing everything they can to make this work & 1 being petulant flogs taking up their valuable time & then still nearly risked it all when they got in a streetfight breaking hub. The AFL had to suck some serious [censored] to convince the QLD govt to not send the entire league home. It was a BIG BIG DEAL.All the while when this is going on, the ******* coach was shacking up with a younger employee inside that same hub while his much adored wife sat at home with the kids. The AFL had a gutful. As i said, when Dimma STUPIDLY made those comments about Stack missing a ******* VFL game about Dan Andrews - the AFL had zero ******* time for it & wanted him under that bus as quickly as possible. You reckon that [censored] blew up into front news story by accident?? the AFL had already seen our behaviour damage their reputation with the QLD govt, & here he is now damaging our reputation with the VIC govt - another ALP govt. They are not going to take the knee off the RFC till Dimma is gone. Just like the Carlton / Elliot, Bombers / Hird & Collingwood Buckley/Macguire problem - it will not end till they have a scalp to hang on the wall as a clear example of "DO NOT fu** WITH THE SYSTEM" The best thing we could do is let the blood be spilt, bottom out & take the pick along with the medicine they want to serve us. Its over folks. 33-13 says it all"

Bravo for this effort. Can 100% back this up and the 26 pages of whinging is no exaggeration AT ALL. I too waded through those pages (Bigfooty) looking for something useful during a very quiet night shift last night. Quite a bizarre place to be. One poster's conspiracy theory regarding the umpire treatment linking back to the behaviour in the hub in 2020 and the AFL's desire to get rid of Hardwick was an absolute beauty. I'll have to try and find it.

1,000,000 mentions of umpires, 6 mentions of 'Shemans'

I'll save the trouble of starting a "what they're saying" thread this week. 25 pages and counting of hectic umpire bashing.

I could watch that on a loop all day and half of tomorrow.

I thought I saw ANB cop a nasty cork from the big GWS ruckman in a marking contest. Ran out the game so hopefully will be fine to go next week.

May's interviews are always excellent. Honest, humorous and rarely trots out the clichés.

It's like the umpires feel they have to pay a free in every marking contest.

That 50m penalty to the Bulldogs was the worst 50 in the history of the AFL.

Sounds a lot like the Port supporters last week. Please Melbourne beat us by a lot so our coach gets sacked.

Is this a VFL/AFL record?

Nath Jones awesome special comments. Never thought he was the best in front of the camera in his early days as captain but obviously worked hard at it and is doing an excellent job.

"I'm happy we won", and "purely from an entertainment point of view". Don't get me wrong, I'm loving supporting a winning team, and understand what we are trying to achieve, and we are achieving it with aplomb. I'm merely saying that wasn't one for the archives. Perhaps I was spoiled by the 100 point burst in a quarter and a half in the GF.

Happy we won. But that would have to be up there with the single worst game of footy I've seen, purely from an entertainment point of view.

Morning cup of tea and Richmond BigFooty page after a loss. Two of my favourite things.
