Can I roll my GF guarantee over until next year? aha

Surprised there is no Tasmanian team in the A-League, would have been a good move whilst the AFL dillydally. At least the people of Tasmania are getting an NBL team, despite it having a horrible name. "Gillon McLachlan: "The Suns are not moving from the Gold Coast, and that's definitive." So if we're sticking to 18 teams a relocation looks inevitable, at least we're performing at the right time. You'd assume that we would be safe with our history anyway but who knows. Imagine if they try merged us with St Kilda in the future, Saints on one shoulder, Demon on another aha.

Thanks @M_9, the Injury Report stated he'd miss about 4-5 week, here's hoping he heals well/quick.

If Collingwood can claim a monopoly on Black and White stripes, we should rightfully be able to claim a monopoly on Satanic creatures.

As stated by a few others think the Anzac Day eve was his send off. Unfortunately I don't think Jones will have his fairy tale ending this year. Slipping down the pecking order with youth banging on the door. But cross any bridge when we get to it, a difficult task for him though

Hopefully we can snare a flag before the team is raided but happy for women's football with this.

What exactly did Hunt do to his ankle?

Enjoyed that video, liked seeing him receive the ball, distribute it and then an initial burst of speed to get into a new position/space to help progress the play. We're often a bit static at times so it was good to see.

Watching live it should have been a free kick but wasn't paid (uncertain if there was advantage). Also looked accidental but may be wrong there, still think some of the financial penalties should be changed, tripping being the same as wrestling etc seems funny to me

If both sides are complaining about the umpire, then they were generally ok/fair or downright terrible. On Monday I think they were ok, paid some soft ones by the laws of the game, made a few errors both ways. Wish there was an easier way to filter "dumb free kicks" and also "soft free kicks" from that differential without having to re-watch every game aha

Fear you may be right. Glad he got to the milestone with crowds in attendance.

So great to see some young guns coming through and we haven't even had a taste of Laurie and Rosman at senior level. Makes talk of 'trade targets' interesting cos there's so much potential with these young dees

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but it's just Melbourne's luck to be on top of the ladder towards the pointy end of the season and being faced in a scenario where the GF may be played interstate when many fans who have been through hell over the years may have trouble attending. Obviously all depends on COVID etc and restrictions. I don't care too much about the parade and some of that fan fare, but dream amount that moment, sitting at the G and hearing that final siren.

Definitely discriminated against, I know things are different during war time but during WW2 Italian Immigrants in Australia were heavily discriminated against and ~5000 civilians were interned by the government for being "enemy aliens". The treatment lingered and some families took a long time to financially recover etc. Imagine they clash unfortunately, but could all wear the same shirt before the game and have a big huddle together before the game starts.

well a few things, mainly Harmes played well but seemingly wasn't on for as long as others. Maybe less time to make an error aha. Nah well played all. Good win for Goodwin

Will get trickier with Jack back.

Found some of the Time on Ground interesting for this week; Jordon - 53% Harmes - 54% Vandenberg - 58%

Assume they missed game time this weekend and Burgo just wanted them to have a run. Similar to how unused substitutes in soccer often do some fitness after the game. Uncertain why they were in full kit though. That was the only confusing part aha

He's consistent here at least.

I like how we’re complaining about the umpires yet absolutely got away with the Petty incident aha

Stadium playing Foo Fighters - ‘The pretender’ before the second half starts ^_-

Seeing we like to draw inspiration from the USA, wonder if we’ll ever have a post season lottery for top few draft picks. Would reduce the tanking argument a little and another Night of TV drama for the folks at AFL HQ

Changing sports for a minute, 3 Portsmouth youth players (all aged under 18) were sacked after a racist conversation was leaked online after the Euros. It's balancing act of punishing the individual/needing to set an example against educating the offender. (An Extension of the retributive vs restorative justice debate if you will) I don't know the answer or what is appropriate punishment for any of these instances. For Walker you can say 6 weeks isn't enough and you're probably right. Even if the AFL went harder on Walker I sadly don't think that would reduce the amount of racist comments some indigenous players receive online.

Understand some players take longer to develop, would be a shame if some other club got the benefit. Tmac/BBB seemingly have a few years left and need to wonder how much game-time he'll get if he stays. But as always you need to keep an eye on the future and an eye on the salary cap as well so hopefully something can be worked out. Would be cruel yet typical scenario if we lost Jacko and Weid and miss out on Mac Andrew

at least your weekend was ruined by a result. Nervous about the game tonight, especially with the weather. Curious to see how Melksham goes tonight, we have missed his delivery into the F50
