Someone must've put a gun to the Doc's head in the rooms.

Port will [censored] all over the Bulldogs

You hit the nail on the head - I'm watching this expecting to see lightning handpasses hitting targets, imperious defence, etc., not this slop.

Jeez terrible skills on display

Preuss is with GWS I believe, but has had back to back long term injuries (including a torn pectoral in the gym) and hasn't played a game since leaving us. Edit: And best of luck to Dom Tyson for the future - he was a bright light in a crappy time for us when he first came over.

I'd prefer Geelong, because I frankly love knocking them off more than anyone with the exception of Collingwood. However, given the two options, I think they're more likely to run out of legs than GWS by the Prelim, having to go "the long way" to get there. As to next weekend, I think Geelong will get over the top of GWS given the tumult of the Greene fiasco and the likely absence of Tom Green and possibly others. Oh, that and the fact they are a soulless polymer extrusion masquerading as a club.

Thank you, yes, I stand corrected!

3 weeks. That is a [censored] verdict.

This protracted hearing is really ruining my productivity today. 😠

Read the room GWS. He won't need to make that flight!

I get he has to advocate for his client, but this just rings at out of touch with the community's pulse on this. I'd be worried about riling the tribunal with this kind or argument. "The message has already rung clear ... in the community." Rubbish. Handing down merely a fine will ring a bell in the community that the sanctity of umpires has been diluted. That is untenable. The tribunal must be firm in its verdict here.

"Greene: I think that's hard to say." No. No it's not. Not at all. In that circumstance an apology should be reflex. Quite a telling comment that one.

Gawn was doing amazing ground ball efforts, pressure acts following his tapwork, etc. Almost as if he's learned a trick or two from Jackson. It's like Gawn's 5 time AA game has just ratcheted up another notch. Incredible.

Daniher holds himself goalless!

So totally and completely a yes.

Just seen the vision. He HAS to be suspended! Walking towards, talking to and gesticulating to umpire before making contact, and the contact is deliberate, aggressive and intentional. So disappointing that a player of his talent is as poorly behaved as that. Kids look up to these players. Do we want 6ft gronk U16 kids shirtfronting junior level umpires throughout the country? FFS how much complaining is there about the quality of umpiring at AFL level on this site and elsewhere? Well guess what - let this behaviour go at the top level and you will see even fewer participants sticking with umpiring. Smaller talent pools erode the quality at the top level. Sadly I fear a media dominated by ex players might see this downplayed. I hope I'm wrong.

Continuing to exercise great judgement it seems... 🤦‍♂️ North star taken to hospital with fractured hip after falling from bike while drinking with mates

These are delicious!

To be fair though, Geelong did dominate last week... except for the first 1.5 quarters and the 2nd half. The remaining 10 minutes they were on top of us.

And to think we were allegedly trying to sign him up for 3 years.

Arnie pulling the tracker out through his nose with the world's most horrific looking grappling tool.

It looks laughable in hindsight how he put forward the hypothesis that they basically were casting their attention to this week's games from the 3rd qtr last week. They look ordinary.

Staggering amount of walking from cats players out there. Unbelievably listless.

Keen for Geelong to go out in straight sets, but wouldn't be averse to seeing about a dozen torn hammys regardless of who gets up.

Definitely. Sunday morning I was doing some weeding in the front yard, and was delighted to see a kid aged 8 or 9 clad in a Melbourne guernsey with number 13 on his back having a kick of the footy with his dad on the road. At school drop off this morning I saw a Mum draped in an enormous brand new looking MFC scarf. I've lost count if the Dees caps and beanies I've seen around the streets recently. Great to see.
