Oh look everyone, its an irrelevant Quartermain trying and failing to emulate Kayne Cornes!

He has a genuine compassion. It was a classy act. 

Just now, leave it to deever said:

My goodness Traccas a horrible kick at goal.

He never got anywhere near the geometry needed to kick that goal.

And Kozzy with the gorgeous goal!

Never should have been dropped before last year's finals. Love this from Disco!

Lazy double play by fritta

Disco!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to it. Train in from the SE suburbs has a fair few fans on it. Hope the crowd is strong. Go dees!

No wonder his kicking is so wayward.

Here is the map from the Gary Pert letter to members just now, which is not a finalised plan but part of the feasibility study.

Didn't know he was married, or that he is expecting.

Not married, but partner's pregnancy was announced a few months ago.

"His 207 games suspension-free puts him in a very small minority … only 668 players of the 13,125 who have played the game at the elite level have played 200 games," Gleeson said.

"Almost half of those have been suspended for one match or more. Mr Cameron is clearly in the unusual category in this regard.

So of players that have played 200 games, "almost half" have been suspended. So Mr Cameron is NOT in the "unusual" category - he's in the majority. 

Moreover, this is an utterly fallacious self-fulfilling prophecy. A player hasn't yet been suspended. Therefore they have a good record and we downgrade suspendable offences when they front the tribunal. Thus they continue to have a "clean" record ready to note the next time they get reported. Yet take another player that happens to cop a week for a minor incident early in their career, their fortunes in front of the tribunal are open to snowballing into further and sometimes longer suspensions.

AFL, fix this corrupt mess!

North should move to play at Geelong. With the population growth happening to the West of Melbourne, Geelong, and Surf Coast it makes a lot of sense, and also…

It would really annoy Geelong, and that’s always a good thing.

In that universe,  how funny would it be if the Govt mandated that they share Kardinia Park 50:50 with the Cats due to the significant taxpayer funds thst have gone into its development. 🤣

Please remind me : when did H.P. Injure himself last year ? 
 

And what was the injury? Foot?

Round 21, August 6, 2023. Injured foot when it caught on the turf and bent back under him while being tackled from behind.  It was at that [censored] ground down in Tassie where Tommo did his ACL in 2021.

Salo hammy injury apparently 

Nibbler!

Rivers tackles Butters at full pace. Butters falls and shoulder hits the ground first. Dangerous tackle. MRO. Rivers fined $3759

 

Greene sling tackles Andrew. Andrew falls and his head hits the ground. MRO. Nothing to see here. 🤢🤢🤢🤢

The MRO is a joke. He simply waits on the media hysteria to work out what incidents to cite.

Interesting this makes me think @WheeloRatings who else seems to have an outside influence on when they are playing or not playing, in recent history, would do it myself but am clueless.

Recent social media posts indicate we are 7-0 when Woey Jr has been named. Given that goes back to his debut mid last year I'd imagine we're about even on win/loss when he hasn't been named.

Is that Nibbler?

Nibbler and Spaz very stiff

How is Petty being named in the fwd line "on form"? And agree, Nibbler and Sparrow [censored] all over several of those selections.

I dunno, I'd take South Australian fritz over any of the similar manufactured meat products we can get here in Melb.

I know he's had a lot of injuries throughout his career, but was he struggling with injuries a lot last year too? 

Yes, Billings had injuries across the last two years - restricted to 8 and 3 games across 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Poor old Matthew Nicks sounded bereft in his presser and they're only four games into their season. 

He may be starting to hear the sound of steel sliding over a whetstone from the Crows boardroom.

Great game by Trac. He is truly something special.

Huge kudos to Sparrow, who had a very good game tonight and really looks to have taken his game to another level this year.

So proud of the team getting the job done across these two games in Adelaide. Ferocious performance against Port, outclassed Adelaide despite clear fatigue.

I'm delighted we've got to here 4-1.  We look so united onfield and in the rooms post-game. Compare that to the shenanigans befalling Brisbane, etc.
