So it's a blunder now? Talk about manufacturing a story from sweet FA.

We've had a few losses that often means no votes for losing sides. Neale will have polled more thanks to more wins.

Our tall timber had been felled at both ends, I daresay we're in significantly better shape this time around. That said, the Swans have dished us out a regular heartache for a decade or more; so we certainly need to bring our A-game.

GIF of the year!

Word just in May has been charged with regicide after tonight's performance.

Give him a 5 year contract for a spot in the 400 club.

And just like that it's a 2pt ballgame. FFS. Can easily see a 10 goal loss brewing here.

JONES!!!!!!!!! Come on!

Well done Brown.

Channel 7 didn't pack the telephoto zoom lenses it seems.

Colour of the jumper only plausible explanation.

Nice to see set shots going between the bigger middle sticks. Good work boys.

Never a 50 when in our favour. A [censored] joke.

We sure love making it difficult on ourselves to scrape into finals.

I think it's fair to say the par score for this season given our last few would surely be to finish in the 8, no it would be a fail as far as I'm concerned if we don't make it (and the equation's just gotten pretty tough now).

How could we not be up for a game like this?

[censored] me we are [censored]

no downfied on Viney. Wrong jumper.

WTF did Fritsch just let him go there???

Carlton- 7 goals *18* behinds. Yikes.

Hah... yes it's pretty similar. Maybe Lynch is trying his hardest to fit in. To Rance's slimmest credit, he immediately recognized he had done the wrong thing and wore Viney's ...er ...rebuttal without retaliation, whereas Lynch's action is very much an opportunistic whack off the ball, which he casually jogs away from.

Ludicrous that this didn't warrant a suspension. It's a terrible look for the game. Imagine Mums and Dads contemplating a winter sport for their 8 year old to take up, and we have this cowardice going (effectively) unpunished. Nibbler gets 4 weeks for a sling tackle - a penalty manufactured by the AFL's wish to stamp it out; their inaction here and with the gut punches says they're happy for this to continue. High profile players are idolised - they should if anything be held to a higher standard than the rank-and-file players, not protected. Pathetic.

That's fascinating. I might have to re-evaluate my confirmation bias as I too had the impression watching live that his kicking was errant.

He also had a bit of niggle about him too which is appealing.

Looked ok as a fwd last year, but he'd be well behind a fit & in form Weid / Jackson combo. Maybe down back as you suggest. Given May's age might be sensible to groom him for the backline.
