JAKE BOWEY APPRECIATION THREAD.
Bowey has a premiership and two rising star nominations without losing a game but I still wouldn't compare him to Brett Lovett. Yet!

The very, very contentious 50 for Dissent Rule
I umpired basketball in the 90's and the most high profile referee in the NBL ran onto the court and abused me. It was the first game I reffed and he was a coach. I've also run the boundary in footy. I'm no positive Lingers but I can run up and down. I think I have a pretty good understanding of the abuse umpires receive but there is a point where the pendulum swings too far the other way and the player gets unreasonly penalised.

Low Attendance
So you are living in a country you thought was a city and outlining how they can have only 2 people sitting at a table whilst complaining about the crowds in at the MCG over the long weekend?

Low Attendance
You do know Singapore is a country and Melbourne is a city? We were the most locked downcity in the the world.

Low Attendance
We were playing GWS on Easter weekend coming off being the most lockdwoned city in the world. It's no surprise our supporters went away. We will all be there in September.

POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs GWS
Bowey for rising star, Brownlow and Norm Smith.
- Most goals on debut by jumper number.
-
Robert Flower
He could be full forward next week with Brown out. He can play anywhere.

Gus and Gawny with Choco Williams
You don't win premierships by fluke. Chocko is a unique individual. So is Max, so is Goody . We embrace it and everyone will try to copy our dynasty.
-
Robert Flower
I think if he played today he would play more a Salem type role Tingay and Langdon would have the wings

TEAMS: Rd 05 vs GWS
We don't always tap it to Dees players. It's just as damaging to hit it to the opposition. We smash them and rebound from half back when they do a quick kick

Jordan Lewis - a retrospective
This is slightly off topic but Jordan Lewis is the only player who I have ever seen who could hook or slice it from set shots at goals depending on where he was positioned. Most players have a natural shape but he shaped it whichever way he wanted to suit the angle he was on.

Gil McLachlan Stepping Down
I don't care who the next CEO is just as long as it's not Kate Roffey

VOTES: Rd 04 vs Port Adelaide
I can't remember in the last 12 months where either Track or Oliver couldn't make the votes.

Your not interested in Jake Spencer news?

Injury frustration
It's an ethical thing and everybody should be entitled to the same information. Its the bookies job to use the information better. I very rarely bet on footy but I had a fair whack on Oliver to get most Brownlow votes for Melbourne in his 2nd season at 150-1 and bookie banned me.

JAKE BOWEY APPRECIATION THREAD.
FMD who was the best performing Casey player at the time? If he is better than Bowey bring him in. Petracca and Oliver might need to watch their back.

NON-MFC: Round 3, 2022
I don't care how many games Selwood has captained. I've never seen Neitz, Jones, Gawn snipe lick that in their career, letalone a quarter. And to make it worse he ducks himself.
-
Injury frustration
If I want to bet on a player winning on the rising star or Brownlow the information is very important. If I want to bet on Melbourne to win the minor premiers and they aren't transparent with an injury to Oliver it effects the fairness.
-
Injury frustration
If the AFL are going to take a fortune from gambling agencies they should be obliged to enforce transparency of clubs reporting on injuries.

My 3 word player analysis v Essendon
Petracca - wasn't moving freely Weid - changed my mind
-
TEAMS: Rd 03 vs Essendon
It's a bit stiff when you have played 9 games, never lost, had 2 rising star nominations, won a premiership and they start you on the bench.
