If the ball makes contact with an opp player it can’t be deliberate.

Neutrals on all AFL forums: - “Wow! That was the game of the year! So exciting! Well done both teams. Shame there had to be a loser”. Melbourne supporters: - “Our team sucks. Everyone sucks. Sack them all.”

New vision has emerged which sees the ball deflecting off Spargo’s hand. This is why he didn’t complain. case closed.

He’s meant to score.

Might want to let the club know that. They’ve got him down as a midfielder/forward.

Folks who are including Viney as an “in” might be disappointed. There’s been very little to suggest he’ll be ready anytime before Queen’s birthday.

Bowey is better based on what? Lockhart is a defender. Bowey is a midfielder/forward.

Found one! - Lockhart. He should have played instead of Jetta. Easy to say in hindsight, and was just as easy to say in foresight.

Thank you.

There he is.

Kozzie has been missing for two weeks.

Strangely still not worried about this.

Didn’t know you could bounce the ball while being tackled. Handy.

Anyone watching Kayo? Rivers hasn’t kicked that goal yet.

Our first quarters. What the hell, Demons?

Would love a Dees version of the barrel bag.

Maybe “good to go” is a stretch but he resumed full training six weeks back, noting on his social media: ”The last few weeks have been a bit ‘nuts’ but it’s good to be back” ?

Lockhart’s been good to go for six weeks now.

Agreed.

Salem out? That’s a very late call out of seemingly nowhere. Illness?

A little tired of saying this but I hope we play a big first quarter today. I accept it might not be the game plan (“absorbing” seems to be the direction) but I’d just like to see we’re capable of it.

Okee doke, seems I’m alone here. Really not a great name though, especially given the thousands of options.

That looks about right. My only wonder is whether Melksham is the right sub over Jones, Jetta or Sparrow.

Why is the podcast called “Deeluded”. Isn’t that a tad...negative?

I agree. Don’t care how he plays. Get him.
