Cheers AF. Fortunately, my wife has no interest at all in AFL so I'm free to indoctrinate the kids without her running interference. I'd rather they stay in the doldrums for a long time as well. They seem to be a making all the mistakes we did during our tanking period so our wish may well come true. I hope it does. I don't like that club at all.

Demonland this mornin

what is going on with the MRO. Seriously. Non sensical decision.

Total BS We need that silk Carlton used to get Cripps off. Get him on the phone immediately.

The Hawks are not much better than VFL standard at the moment so the brains trust might decide to play him for this reason. I think it's best to give him a couple of games at Casey. It's been a long lay-off for him coming on the back of a disrupted year in 2022. Give him time. A post bye return is plenty of time to have him in tip top fettle for finals.

I'm attending this one in a family Group. Kids and cousins (all Dees supporters) I want my kids early footy memories to be of us beating the Hawks. A bonus would be if we belt them. That would be good for my kids development i reckon. Hopefully instil a sense of disdain in them for that club and their horrible guernsey.

The match day commentators insinuating JVR has a case to answer, the media following suit yesterday. Today all the commentariat saying MFC should appeal and JVR will get off. Weird.

We challenged a Fritsch suspension. 2020 i think it was.

Swans pies game is being played at 100 miles per hour

Freo have beaten Hawks and Eagles and their win over the suns was due to GC choking. Not an impressive form line. I expect the Swans to beat them without too much trouble.

Great game Port v Bombers

John Ralph just reported JVR likely to go straight to the tribunal. careless and severe impact he reckons. didn't have eyes for the ball he said. It looked an honest attempt to spoil the ball to me. And he very nearly did make the spoil.

Thanks WCW. Well said. It's not what they did @dazzledavey36 its how they did it. The pies made a list management decision which it totally their right. Grundy has said that he felt totally disrespected by the club in general and McCrae in particular. I'm pretty sure the MFC wouldn't deal with a 2 time best and fairest the way the pies did but not a surprise. They have a track record of treating players shabbily.

Rubbish 50 by Razor there. He's one of the better umpires but too often he inserts himself into the picture unnecessarily.

Bombers monstering Port at the center bounces

I'm wishing for a 100-point shellacking.

It's almost, as if, supporters are never happy.

Brodie Grundy is obviously a ripper bloke. Disgraceful the way the pies treated him. Their loss, our gain.

Really good start to this game. 6 goals straight.

Casboult was a mis match for him. He improved as the game went on.

Port fans singing "never tear up apart" is as lame as

My appetite for death riding this weekend was quashed. when I saw the hawks outs. I hate the Hawthorn footy club. Hopefully normal service resumes next week and the Swans give Freo a touch up at the SGC.

If we can’t win 16 games given our double ups (thanks for pointing this out @Lucifers Hero) then we can forget about the flag. we’ll finish top 4. Top 2 will depend how we go against the other contenders.

Bollard copped a knee earlier in the game. I think we could argue that was a contributing factor to bollard getting subbed out. And I think it’s legitimate to question why he was on the field at all after that incident.
