JVR would have had his 6th but for a reversal... Pretty impressive quarter and the AFL brigade showed a bit in particular Brown (great goal and 10 possies for the qrt). The VFL players still a key part of the win with Bonner potentially looking at a 50-possession game and Baldi and Hardie also playing well.

Super kick by cross to JVR
-
Time for a pie and get out the ****ful wind... Bonner (28 possies at HT), Baldi, Adams been good, Howes, Woewodin, Sestan, Billings and Smith all solid. Brown dog better quarter, disposal was still shabby but hard to blame him... Verrall a few ok things, Big Campbell was very good early. Jeffo, not really a day for him and Mentha showed a bit into the wind with his run. Laurie has had it a bit, but really not much damage and same for Cully...
-
Strong mark by Jeffo not paid, no idea why... Baldi killing them in the contest..
-
Hopefully JVR getting confidence, 3 excellent kicks (marks were all easy), hopefully that comes now with confidence...
-
3.5 to 1.2 Casey lead...
-
JVR super kick across the breeze to get that home...
-
Great Kick JVR used breeze superbly!
-
Umpiring at this level is all over the shop... Ex Port and Saints player last year, neat kick and was surprised he was ditched by saints as he was a key user early last year out of defence for them.

Bonner & Baldi playing well. Mentha showing a bit of dash and the back line with Howes and Adams held up well. The breeze will make it a bit of a raffle, it's almost so strong that even kicking with it may not be as advantageous as you'd normally associate as it is pushing into the pocket and making all kicks skew that way and tough to hit targets under any pressure.

JVR has dropped 3 marks which despite the breeze, he should've taken as he got good hands on them all and simply dropped the pies. Howling gale blowing into the pocket, Casey holding up well at this stage and agree Johnson started well!

Lodged a complaint with the integrity department for Sh'ts and giggles, I dont' watch any other games anymore as the officiating is so bad its unwatchable. The issue was just the inconsistency of the rules, they didn't necessarily get a heap of dodgy frees, but they got 50/50's whereas we got none of those. What is your report type? DISCRIMINATION/VILIFICATION Report Type * Select at least one of the following: * Disability Gender Identity Nationality/Ethnic Origin Race/Colour Religion/Spirituality Sexuality Other, for example; body shaming, mental health etc Who was involved? Please provide as much detail as possible. This may include name, contact details, date of birth, address, etc. If there are multiple people, list each one separately. Description of involved person(s) Matt Stevic (9), Andrew Stephens (12), Nathan Williamson (22), Cameron Dore (28) Clear discrimination against a side in light blue and Red and favouritism to Maroon and gold, similar to their gold colour. Evidence by the sheer favouritism and different interpretation of what is a mark, what is holding the ball and many other items, where only light blue and red people got punished and then in the next breath an identical behaviour by maroon and gold people was unpunished. This occurred on Friday night at the Woollongabba oval in Brisbane. I do think that the umpires may need to have their bank accounts and TAB/Sportsbet account (the most important item for the comp judging by the number of advertisements) and those of their wives and family looked into also. Have you reported this to anyone else? For example, another organisation or government agency Yes PoliceName * What outcome are you seeking? The banning of the yellow people from involvement in sport. Is there any other information you would like to provide? The evidence is available on Kayo
Aunty Donna were all over Real Estate agents.... they meant it to be comedy, but should be seen as a doco...
Steven Da Rui
People forget that in 1987, he was the Irish recruit everyone spoke of on the front and back of every paper and on every news bulletin, especially in the late rounds and finals where he was unbelievable. Injuries, especially knee injuries stopped us seeing his best for much of thereafter, but was super brave and a super athlete. Champion player, even better person... sadly missed.
Sorry to do this, but the only place I could find the comparative kick I was looking for. Just go to 6.30 in and watch 15 seconds then, burn the link!! Tony Francis got 6 weeks for his little buttt kick way back in 1990, which was less likely to cause damage than Cotchins and I think is proof that in a lot of areas the tribunal is actually far more lenient than they were years ago. Now its not the action but the outcome that is the only concern, so if you full on smack a wombat in the head, you'll move off scott free, but if you touch a butterfly wing, you'll get life.. so kick as many players as you like kids, just make sure its not hard enough to cause real damage seems to be the take on that, but don't get a legitimate football action slightly wrong if it could lead to a serious injury, because you'll be punished severely even though its an accident. (careless or reckless actions don't get me wrong still need to be penalised). Kicking was always seen as the ultimate dog act and was punished harshly irrespective of severity, still should be. The outcome based decisions are crazy and solely its luck of the draw if a player is injured or not. Not against rules to stop concussions, in fact I'm all for anything that is a bad look being ironed out, but the action should be what is consistently on trial.
I consider myself luck to have been to these grounds and the good fortune of being at Princes Park in 85 to beat hawthorn, and 98 when we beat Carlton. Was at Windy hill in 90 for the comeback, Moorabbin in 91 for the Jako show and 1 pt win and his other show in 92 at Vic Park to knock them off top spot. Western oval 87 (my favourite day until 25/09/2021) and even had the good fortune to watch us beat Fitzroy at the Junction oval in 85 and Geelong at Kardinia Park in 88 (the country train travelling as 13 year olds alone was awesome). Never got to Lakeside or Arden S., they finished just before I started going regularly as a kid. The one thing I miss about those grounds was winning at those venues was always much tougher and when you did win it always felt like a win against the odds with a bit more meaning and excitement to a MCG win. I can also say that I never really felt unsafe at any of the grounds, although I do kunderstand the mid 80's were different to the mid 70's from all reports at these venues. Always was worse going to Waverley and catching the bus and then train to Flinders ST to then back up on train 2 on the broady line and walking home from Glenroy station was always a far bigger risk. Walking home in recent years from Denis station and then Eaglemont station to the house hasn't felt right without the need to look over the shoulder to see if the 3047 boys are about to try and decapitate you! Miss those days
Like watching continental drift.
Agreed, not a great game but just little things for TMac and Kozzie, both were involved in this one. Tmac gets the hand on it that deflects it to Petracca when otherwise Duryea would have spoiled it out and then the Kozzie shepherd was gold.
