A bit odd- it is definitely a 3.20pm start, so not exactly a "night" game. But when they say access to level 1, that would be gen admission bays on L1, not Members reserved seating areas.

The KB game will be a massive stress-test for the mental fortitude of our team. The media will be lathering up the Maynard/Brayshaw background and we all know how the filth supporters get emboldened by that. There will be feeling and physicality on field, and a hell of a lot of aggression from over the fence. Hopefully we can right the ship in the next couple of weeks to go in with confidence.

I love this idea - have some kind of klaxon go off the moment a player runs over 15m. It'd go off regularly and players would be perplexed, being so used to blasting past that distance without penalty for years.

I have, and he is showing some promising signs, so why ruin that by throwing him to the wolves before he's ready?

The Narrm Smith curse?

But at the last moment that psychopath Parker drives upward to change his point of impact from torso to head. Not to mention the very sudden beeline he makes to the player, turning on a trajectory away from the ball. It is simply off the ball thuggery and has no place in a game that wants to survive in this millennium.

Aarrgghh how could I forget Pig 😭

Really want the two teams with "Melbourne" in their name to get the job done today.

To me it has the strong whiff of a frustrated player taking his anger out on an opportune target. Reminiscent of Alex Rance whacking a prostrate Jack Watts in the back of the head after being beaten in a marking contest a few years ago.

Lever, May, Langdon, and I'd add Ben Brown, each filled vital holes in our line-up leading to our 2021 success.

Googled "Luke Parker Frankston" and just saw the incident - a disgusting act. I hope they absolutely throw the book at him. Disgrace.

Noidealeuos.

While there are perhaps few people consuming all 9 non overlapping games broadcast each weekend, not overlapping them maximises the hours per week that there is a game on, thus maximising the chance that people will watch at least some. From the broadcaster's perspective (who pay a lot of money for the rights), this is surely preferable to the alternative.

"Historically" the key word there. Dusty was a bona fide great of the game, but we ruined him in his 250th on ANZAC Eve 2021.

Richmond's crowd is pathetic. Don't you agree Caro? .... Caro? ... Hello?

Spot on - the bling! It looks so trashy.

How pathetically insecure is this competition that it desperately grabs at these garish practices from overseas sports?

Utterly grotesque.

McAdam hasn't been able to get through a full game at Casey yet. I'd want him to do that before we give him the call-up.

Jeremy Howe at Pies

Wish the commentators would fix their audio and microphone technique. The distortion and swings in volume are giving me the [censored].

Yep. Just a gentle push in the lower back as Hawkins jumps to mark, below his centre of gravity so he rotates backwards enough to lose balance and rip a several centimetre tear in one of his hammies as he tries to recover upon landing, à la the 2021 prelim. Or maybe May can swing a careless arm backwards to collect him in the face feigning being off balance during a tackle near the boundary. I'm sure there are more.

This makes my blood boil and heart break at the same time. What a way to ruin a fantastic moment for the young kid and family. Antisocial morons like that are long past their expiry date. P.S. can that [censored] remind us when he last kicked 6 goals in a Premiership win...?

Really? A team managing the load on one of the most promising first year players to have entered the system in years?

No mitigation for me - if he's not in a head space to take the field without assaulting people off the ball, he shouldn't be playing.
