Max is heading towards AA number 7 - remarkable

I reckon Jackson will be his only challenger. although that said, when D'Arcy is fit again Jackson will likely be moved forward.

That Roar article is way over the top and out of order. If Kossie really was a sniper he would have laid out Soligo. But he didn’t because I think tried to minimise the contact realising mid-action that he could cause damage. Still made contact but not near to the same extent as he could have. I think this clearly sets the incident apart from Maynard who appeared to make no attempt whatsoever to reduce the impact with Gus.

I wouldn’t give this author the time of day. That said, I’m not sure how others can construe the article as being racist.

In terms of the action itself my understanding is that once you leave the ground and make contact with the head it is automatically graded as medium impact. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow night if that’s a correct application of the rule or not.

Whilst I think he tried to minimise the impact I’m not sure why Kossie needs to leave the ground in this situation. I’m sure the FD will be coaching in this regard. Just stay on your feet kossie.

Unless we were guaranteed of picking up a gun key fwd with that pick then it’s a no, Petty I think is only 24 currently.

We are still very much in our window this year and next. We’ve managed to find some great players in recent times with either later picks or rookie drafts. While May & Gawn are still out there we must go all out for another flag if not 2.

a fit and firing Petty is a huge asset to us. I would hold him to his contract as well.

The main issue i have, which tempts me to trade, is his durability. He misses a lot of games. I'm sure the FD will weight this up if the Crows make a proper trade offer.

showing some ticker here Hawks but there forward of center work not too flash. bombing the ball in being defended easily enough by the pies

ginnivan gets paid the head high free kick.

it was there too

Max King has the yips again.

Thought a high protein diet was the go to build muscle mass. Excess carbs could be converted to fats. My personal favourite stout and bananas. Beamish, Guinness and ladyfingers preferred.

Guinness and spuds for me Tarax

Typical Suns. You can rely on them for nothing.

Adelaide may have to cough up a top 5 pick for him. They may not be willing. Good chance for us to put forward a 4-5 year contract and show our commitment and belief in him.

a top 5 pick would be tempting if they threw in their seconder rounder as well.

When is Mac Andrew coming home?

playing well today. Once he adds some kgs he could be another Alir Alir. Need to go on a diet of potatoes, pasta and gravy.

Reckon the attendance at this game is bigger than the average gate either of these teams get for their home games.

I like gather round.

No clashing fixture means that from Fri evening through to Sunday evening there's a footy game on. 

Suns will do what they always do. Tease and then lose.

I reckon giants by 25 points.

Yeh I wonder if they mean when he plays forward? 
 

He’s clearly played more than 7 games since R10 2023.

that's what i was thinking as well. Not sure he played 7 games forward for us yet though. 

there's being brave.

and then there's being reckless. 

there is a difference.

why pick out round 10 last year as the starting point?

and has anyone checked if this is correct. I thought he played in losses after Rd 10

just checked the AFL website. He played in the Rd 15 and 16 losses v Geelong and GWS respectively.

It’s always horrible seeing Carlton win, but this one, that way, was just sickening.

sickening it is for sure Red.

Luckily we still have Essendon to cheer us up.

another pointless review. reviewing what exactly

had to duck out so missed the end of the Froe Carlton game. I've just watched the last 5 mins. 

the touch would have been difficult for the ump to pick up.

Jackson tapped a ball straight to the Carlton player to set up their go-ahead goal. One of the dumbest taps you will ever see. 

Carlton are kissed on the [censored] this year. God help us all if they win a flag. I'll have to move overseas for a couple of months if it happens.

Daniher like from McKay

Harley Reid is going to be a serious player but he gave away a very costly 50 there due to inexperience. 

there's a stiff breeze blowing to the end the Eagle are kicking to in the last quarter. 15 points down. Kick an early goal and you never know. 

Eagles starting to lose discipline. giving away needless frees.
