Yup. I think we have their talls covered with Tommo, May and Smith. Who takes Rankine Hunt or Rivers?

diabolical. Way I see it, AFL will intervene and reinstate the suspension.

He’s not in drop territory but he is definitely not his offensively impactful self. Last couple of games have been less than average. His defensive efforts are probably what’s keeping him in the team for now and Goody won’t easily drop anyone that contributes on that front. However with Bedford and Chandler waiting in the wings, Kozzy would want to lift sooner rather than later.

Especially given how much he copes in the contest. Just about every marking contest he gets whacked in the head. But the big fella gets up and carries on like the champ he is.

Doesn’t look like either of these teams will finish top 4 with this display. Bring the heat and both of these teams will crumble. Nothing has changed since last year.

Cats will run out of puff later in the season. They always start pretty good. But I’m pretty surprised at how bad Essendon is. They are making the cats look better than they are.

Thanks for the clarification.

Biggest arm chop ever and Razor was dead set right in front of it. Won’t be talked about how that changed the result 2 goal swing, game done.

Their pressure is really down from when they were having a good run in 2020. It takes really dedication and commitment to play a high pressure game style. Dare I say they have the personnel to really burn you on turnover… just lack the intensity at the moment.

If our own Benny Gibson put on 20 kegs he’d be a spitting image of John Noble i reckon.

I remember a team mate with a torn meniscus was about 6 weeks with surgery way back when i was a junior soccer player. With advancements and access to better medical practices nowadays, they may have shaven that back a few more weeks. hard to say how similar this type of injury is though.

It happens all the time in all professions. Only difference is that its probably not recorded and sent to a whatsapp group.

Mate? Not anymore.

Still waiting?

another goal from 50m penalty. It is too much of a penalty I must admit.

Really liked Bolton and the way he is able to get involved in the game from HB into the forward line and damage the scoreboard. I know he took a few seasons to develop but hope one of our small forwards can develop into a similar player.

I just have a hunch this isn’t over. If Tom was truly guilty shouldn’t we have had an apology by now? He has been stood down until it is investigated. There is absolute silence from the Tom camp which suggests he is taking legal and PR advice. I maintain that if he has done what is alleged, then throw the book at him.

Yep it is very much available to anyone with a phone. I have an affinity for funny cat videos which Tik Tok and Instagram supply an abundance of video's to keep me satisfied. Every now and then i would see some rather bizarre (out-of-character) video's of Tom Cruise. It wasn't too long that i found out it was just somebody that had a video and audio 'filter' on their camera which would render (using AI software) whatever they said and recorded and output it as Tom Cruise. This is how i was introduced into the world of 'deep fakes'. I have seen similar vids of Trump, Biden, Putin etc - its is deeply unsettling what is possible these days.

Have you been to the footy? I come across opposition supporters that are so deeply invested in their footy clubs that something like this would not surprise me at all. There are some really bizarre characters in our society and my 10 year old son could probably do a deep fake. If he has genuinely said that, then he deserves what is coming obviously.

Not defending him but the connection to his work colleague is circumstantial isn’t it? Who are we to say that video wasn’t doctored? It’s actually quite easy to do. The audio on the other hand is a bit trickier but with the right software AI it is not impossible.

Same thing these days Colin. Got to keep up with the lingo 😁

He has been recorded without his knowledge or permission talking in a very misogynistic way about a female work colleague and this was leaked today. What he said has nothing to do with the Bevo saga and has probably been held onto for a while. Doesn’t excuse what he said and I think it’s the end of his employment with Fox Sports unless there is another twist to the story.

Toms career also on lifeline. Just heard the audio of him talk about one of his colleagues at FOX in a completely inappropriate way. My guess is he will be cancelled.

Was stoked with the win. System held up well considering the missing players and absolutely appauling umpiring decisions that cost us 2-3 direct goals. Perhaps the 8 50s wasn’t enough in the praccy. We did well in the back half but our composure with the ball was a bit scrappy but with a few more games I think our rebound 50s will really torch some of our opponents. Bedford did ok but am still at a loss as to how our smaller forwards are not getting the ball enough and hurting them when it hits the deck. They look like they are trying to play as lead up forwards and not positioning to crumb. I dunno but it just bugs me when I see how balanced the Lions forwards are with this.

Voice has officially gone broken.
