Grundy looks pretty good. But outside the ruck contest he is non existent. Jordy would have been good as a cooler on the opponent teams #1 midfielder. Unfortunately Goody doesn’t believe in a tag.

They are playing very good now. But so were GWS before they hit a wall. Look at Geelong 3 on the trot now. Can happen anytime. The only time you want to start to look invincible is 2 weeks from finals not now. The only advantage for them is to manage the load of their players. So they are fresh going into finals.

Because we were ot good enough for a half of footy. Our midfield is wildly out of form.

What about the holding free given to Walsh? Trac and Clarry get absolutely nothing.

Sydney is a team of supreme athletes that can kick. It’s the name of the game now.

Good to see the umps have got their vision back.

This whole fast starts for Carlton won’t happen after this week. Clubs will adjust.

Still early but Sydney looking a bit ordinary.

Blues winning isn’t a bad thing. They have a hard month of footy so will drop a couple more anyway. At least by winning they keep Swans within reach.

Yes it is, but how are you doing either in Darwin. I get the romanticism of it and if it didn’t further compromise an already compromised competition I’d be all for it - I think footy could do a lot for the communities living there.

12000 rocked up but how much were tickets? Given how hell bent the AFL is on making money, i cannot see how Darwin is commercially viable given Gold Coast is probably 10x more appealing and is still yet to turn a profit in its 2nd decade. We still have clubs that are not profitable in the existing 18 teams and unlikely ever to be profitable. Plug those holes before you go ahead and hand out another license.

That will likely put too much strain on the fixturing algorithm as its already heavily loaded up attending to revenue,profit and appeasing Collingwood.

I know the AFL want more goals but games like these are just awful. I’d much prefer a slog with total points < 150. It just makes goals feel more valuable.

Just heard there’s a virus going through the Cats squad. First felt symptoms against the Dees few weeks back. Cameron doesn’t have concussion but full bout of this unknown virus. Initial symptoms vary but all players reporting feeling a bit “off” within hours of being exposed to the pathogen.

Getting a bit ugly… cats staring into the abyss of old age.

Funny the advantage Sums gets playing in these conditions….you almost feel sorry for Geelong…oh wait a sec

Just wait until they take Jeff Whites son off us through a 1 year F/S hiatus in next years draft. on another note, love the umpires payback for Scotty’s comments

if you think you'll just get it for free..

its definitely good for competition, but given how greedy the AFL is, it will more than likely canabilise the broadcasting by splitting up different games by day, platform, etc. We can be thankful there is at least one broadcaster showing every single game in the AFL season.

just got the MFC app notification.

That isn't great - even in 2021, finishing 10th is middle rung. I do wonder how much his thyroid issue is actually impacting his performance. I think Kynan Brown has all the traits of a HB flanker that can work into that role/spot. Can he be successful? im not sure how good a kick and playmaker he is - but that is what we need.

Agree on the 1st round pick - it is a long shot but if we take some of the salary then it becomes more palatable. I’d even take a 2nd tbh if it meant we’d get someone special. You have Woey, K. Brown and Sestan developing, better to start blooding them and getting something back while Salo still has some value. Brutal industry, but he takes a spot that is going to be pivotal to our new ball movement patterns.

We have been too easy on him on DL consider how we brutally go after other players I reckon. He hasn’t really played a good game since the 21 GF. Missed at least half the games due to injury as well. Will be an unpopular view but will still have some trade currency if we could find someone to take his contract. If we pay some of his salary, might be able to snare a late round 1 pick.

Naughton will play backline next year. They are just allowing Darcy to mature for another year.

3-4 for Turner is a shame. Starting to be an issue for him - being fit and available, that is.
