Fair enough. Clearly can't keep a barber's appointment for starters.

Farewell Brodie Grundy
Let's not rewrite history - he looked absolutely stoked to be playing earlier this season, celebrating goals and wins with exuberance, going in to bat for teammates, etc.

NON-MFC: Finals Week 01
I'd like to see a Brisbane win (and us obviously). That'd force the pies to have to go via a prelim vs Brisbane at the Gabba to make the GF. Outside that, my other preference is a 1 point Carlton loss by a kick after the siren that is touched on the goal line but incorrectly referred to video with the umpire's call as goal, where the video evidence is inconclusive because Charlie Curnow had run back into defence and did his lamo bicep curl fist pump blocking the camera's view.

Vale Charlie Tiang - Gone too soon.
Poor thing. 😢 Life is really unfair sometimes. Much respect to the Club and all its personnel for giving him that experience earlier.

Who gets an extra week's rest?
He's had terrible timing with his injuries, poor guy. Not the first time he's been injured when on the cusp of selection.

NON-MFC: Rd 23 2023
As a former boundary umpire in the Southern Football League, it is unimaginable to me that boundary umpires in perfect position tangent to the boundary line neglected to make calls like that (and the Viney one yesterday). If ball over line, blow whistle - immediate and instinctive. It's not like field umpiring where there's pressure from crowds and players and decisions may be complex and subjective (e.g. holding the ball, etc.). In the Viney case I can only assume that the boundary umpire interpreted the play as warranting a HTB free against Viney before the ball crossed the line, thus holding off on the whistle. Huge error if so, the field umpire relies on the prompt boundary umpire's whistle as a signal that the ball is out of play - that then informs their adjudication of any free kicks. Terrible error.

NON-MFC: Rd 23 2023
Imagine getting pumped by 100 points by a team even on points when a top 8 spot is up for grabs. Dons pulled a heart muscle?
