Roost it far

The AFL need to do some research and inform the clubs. Give them a dozen safe ways to tackle. You’ve got to stop using the tribunal as a way to make the game safer. It’s like getting more police and defunding the aid programs.

I think it comes back to coaching and knowing the possible outcomes. There’s ways to tackle that both avoid concussion and limit the chance of serious leg injuries. The AFL need to undertake some research and inform the clubs prior to the next preseason. Of course this is too logical so in the middle of next year the AFL to counter a spate of leg injuries will introduce more rule changes on the fly. This will render our game even harder to umpire and lead to more poor umpiring so they’ll introduce 5 umpires. All amateurs!

One interesting opinion from the media this week is the impact of changing tackle styles since concussion became the focus. if you watch MaKay he tackles Petty and then falls to his knees and leans back. This avoids any chance of Petty's head hitting the ground. What it does do is drastically increase the chance of serious leg injuries. Going to be interesting watching this play out over the next few seasons.

It's full of West Australians though

John Ralph is a peanut. He's Robbo with a tie.

Only real facts as opposed to fake facts and plenty of great quality bants......what are bants just so I know?

Yes, I thought he was gone. That’s why my show would be based on facts, to avoid such issues. May I say I wasn’t alone. I also use that time to get used to life without said player.

I always thought smoking them was the problem

If he was to ever run out in a Melbourne guernsey I’d return both my MFC and MCC membership’s. Sides generally recruit to get better.

Whatever Trevor

Teething issues are inevitable, I’ll call it AFL On Point

What one bag every year?

That’s not the issue, at various points most have agreed with those points. The problem lies in the lack of in-depth analysis. There should be a show that spends 15-20 minutes on the 4 main games of each round and 5-10 on each of the other 4. Some analysis beyond 3 glammed up clips trying to prove a point. I’d call it AFL On Monday. I’d have Hoyne, Me and 3 others (no one springs to mind sadly) and we’d get deep, both technically and spiritually in our analysis. They’d be no Ralphy, no Brereton, no Robbo, no King, no Huddo and The Bounce would be axed. We’d replace On the Couch and AFL 360 and we’d be on on Monday and Thursday (Wednesday if there was a Thursday game) Post and Pre total analysis. We’d rate the absolute shizzle off the crud currently on offer. The start and end credits would be the best plays/marks/goals of the week. We’d go to training, wade through stats and flesh out the meaning of them. Can’t believe it hasn’t been done already. Oh and no ads. 7-9pm

Because he’s a spud and is barely AFL quality……in fact he isn’t AFL quality and to seriously suggest we pick him up to chop out in the ruck is laughable.

I think Smith will end up forward to replace Petty. When he gets a Premiership medallion it’ll be a great story.

You really shouldn’t watch that dribble. You may as well read afl.com if you want poor journalism and no serious analysis.

FFS, 30 years ago they played on mud.

Nah, that was definitely Viney's fault

For shtis sake let it go

That pass to Fritsch was the equal of any great moment in a footballers life, it was art....in fact that whole stoppage was.

Fkuc no

I just watched his ankle buckle and thought sheesh that’s gotta hurt

Would of given us no chance to get Reid

I was a little out with my prediction 😂

It will be of no surprise if it’s a 3-6 month injury
