Yeh I don't agree with every comment they make on decisions but find the account interesting as it's presented in a methodical way which sort of helps understand how a decision was reached. Can then decide if I agree with their interpretation or not. Better than the commentators just shouting words.

If anyone has twitter; this is an interesting account to follow; https://twitter.com/hasumpstuffedup Goes through contentious incidents from all games.

Wonder if/when AFL Players' Association president Patrick Dangerfield will have anything to say about the Dangerfield matter.

Wonder what happens to the Grand Final Guarantee if it is hosted interestate

Most things that Geelong do personnel wise confuse me, this is no exception.

Was in the MCC about 5 rows back, very loud sound. Big OOF moment

I think his best position (for individual performance) is in the middle. For the sake of the team I think he is the best option for defensive wing position, reads it well as shown by his intercept marks/spoils/possessions etc.

Viney says Jaw, maybe he thinks everyone’s Jaw is as big as his aha

Expect better from a Vice Captain but if any player found themselves facing suspension for something completely unnecessary late in the 4th quarter in a game that was over at half time I would still be annoyed. With Jack, I'm not calling for his blood but he's out of form and I want him to play himself into form, missing game/s won't help

AFL a bit soft on swinging elbows, but IF Jack was doing something that meant a player couldn’t easily breathe he’ll miss games and can only blame himself

Looked like elbow to throat/neck for 4~5 seconds. Agreed it does look malicious and prolonged and Can understand the AFL being tough as it’s not just wrestling. imagine that’s one change for this week sorted then

pushing into the neck/throat bit silly to rub yourself out in a 98 point win.

Finally came in the mail today, what a beaut

Assume they'll just build over the carpark and it won't technically be an extension of AAMI Park as such?

I know this was an attempt but think the articles were just trying to follow the Standards Relating to Suicide issued by the Australian Press Council. https://www.presscouncil.org.au/document-search/standard-suicide-reporting/

To be fair FIFA demands that following the stadiums are not used for a period of time prior to the the tournament and during the tournament, there is also some rules about stadium capacity for the semi final/final being in a 50,000 seat venue. So essentially if the MCG or Marvel were to host a semi final or the final they'd be out of use for a month or so. Which is quite significant for just one game so i can understand the reluctance to negotiate from the AFL even if it annoys me as a fan of women's football.

Apologies, missed that post. Have strong doubts they'll do anything substantial at AAMI prior to the WWC but don't know what the internal facilities are like/that may need an upgrade.

Thought the only thing happening in VIC was the 'Home of the Matildas'/FV upgrade at La Trobe Uni?

So MCG is 160m Long and 141m wide Docklands is 159.5m by 128.5 m Someone get the Strava out and let us know what the current oval is

We're a happy team at Hawthorn

LET'S DANCE

One part of the game I really dislike (from all teams), players deliberately not picking up the ball or conveniently dropping it to try milk a holding the man free.

Speaking of Ladder Watch, can someone please remove the one from Max Gawn's back. He must be tired of people sitting on his head. The Squiggle AutoPredict has us coming 3rd now. Geelong game will be huge, but expect more twist and turns from other teams too

Yeh i love the way he chases players with the ball (just hopefully with less push in the backs). Exciting with and without the ball, a joy to watch in full flight. I know he's not the only one doing this in the AFL, but after winning free kicks or after good tackles, just shoving the player when they're already on the ground etc. Isn't crunching a bloke enough these days?
