    Change petition now garnering worldwide attention with my signature in England. Forwarded it to my mate who’s a North London Lions player who’s passing it on to their squad WhatsApp group. 😁

    Free the Roo One. Am so glad the club has appealed this.

    I get what you are saying, red. But they are just probably outside the restricted area and they weren’t ‘demonstrative’ either.

    In fairness, this was after the siren when Max had to kick over the mark  so the encroaching Cats couldn’t affect the play. Was the 50 paid last night because Cumberland could, in theory, have played on allowing Jake to take advantage of being where he was?

    Just watched the replay/caught up with this thread while you lot slept. Certainly share the collective disdain for the umpires. That non-50 (and likely goal) to ANB and the HTB against Gus when he got boot to ball
dearie me. There has to be an agenda, even if subconscious.

    Today was never going to be straightforward against a desperate opponent and on a big stage.  Richmond have had a tough draw and they could yet see off some of our rivals down the stretch. And Freofall of course.

    Today was a struggle but we ground out the win when challenged so credit where it’s due.  I’m still buzzing anyway, particularly after last week.

    Memo to AFL

    If you're going to do goal line reviews get a camera and a replay that inserts the goal line

    that shot on the final score was atrocious

    Yep. There was another yesterday which a couple of us highlighted on the non-MFC thread. Unacceptable.

    Need a line like the ones they draw for VAR offsides in the EPL/SPL. System needs to be [censored]-proof because it’s currently administered by idiots. Fritta’s was a goal.

    Now in front despite being robbed of what was a clear goal

    Saw that. Called touched but it was behind the line, if touched at all, yet goal ump says he thinks it’s a behind then score review inexplicably goes umpire’s call.

    Made a pig’s ear of another a minute later but the score review got that one right.

    Daicos already has the Brownlow in the bag if the love from the umpires tonight is anything to go by 

    Really have bought into the narrative haven’t they? HTB/incorrect disposal rules different for him.

    Supporters are scattered all over the place. The old days of class distinction linked to geography, industry and residence have long gone. When I worked in the West I was surprised how few Doggies supporters there were. It seemed that Locals were more likely to follow Pies and Bombers. 

    My introduction to footy was at North Williamstown State School circa 1962 when Wednesdays in the footy season saw everyone roll up in their team’s jumper for afternoon PE.   Everyone except the dumb pom, that is.  Anyway, the playground was an absolute sea of Footscray jumpers, with a smattering of Seagulls and a few others. There was just one Demon jumper despite Melbourne being very good at the time.  At least there were two the following week. 😁

    Really impressed with ‘newcomers’ Grundy, Hunter, McVee, Chandler and JVR. We’re evolving and getting  even better. No Kosmonaut or Max either. The future’s bright and we can load up with even more young talent next draft. Only other thing to add about today is that I hate Tom Papley.

    They had a choice. Keep Mitchell, Gunston, Shiel, and O’Meara instead of ND48, ND41, ND53, Stephens, Meek, and ND29 (est) and be more competitive and win games and keep what was left of the culture they banged on about.

    What kind of a return is that? How much does the soul of your club mean in draft picks? 3 first rounders?

    They did all that to take to the [censored] of their list and to collapse and get ND1 which apparently is a Dusty type gun.

    I’d never heard of Harley Reid before an AFL.com presenter (and Hawk fan) talked of “tanking for Harley” during a debate about the club’s direction of travel over your summer. Sarah Olle, I think.

    I think Jack might be breathing a sigh of relief to. I know he didn't mean it but knowing you're responsible for essentially taking out your captain for the year wouldn't feel great.

    But if we can do well and get a rested max back for the second half of the year then look out.

    Watching the replays, I was more worried that, just prior to the Viney impact, Max had jumped and landed slightly awkwardly on his left and seemed to flinch a little. Just the kind of innocuous event that sees an ACL. Glad it was Jack after all, if you see what I mean!
