Any chance they're both 2 metres tall already?

Now I'm not one to wish ill on opposition players, however I do feel that you've left out Darcy Moore here.

Honestly, the sort of stuff you're talking about is why I opted out of the workforce. And I've never looked back. What you're suggesting might be fantastic for some, might be a total disconnect for others. I was made to attend a staff 'team-building' event in a different state, where I was asked to stand and then singled out for praise in front of over a 1000 fellow employees for some of my work (not even my best). Not 1 other person was singled out, only me. Not my thing I'm afraid. Much prefer recognition in my pay packet. At least my crew and I had a massive night on the company dime. You said we can't 'ground' players, and I agree, that's nuts. But likewise, you can't force a player to bring a mate to some cultural event that neither he or his mate has any connection to. You really can't be forcing a player to go to anything outside an official club function. Everyone is different, and you seriously risk alienating people with ideas like this. Once you lose them it's very hard to get them back, and I'd argue that's a massive risk for a footy club.

More soccer at training perhaps

I think May is in a similar boat. A KPD at his age needs to be playing at a crazy high level to stay in an AFL side, but he's nowhere near it.

Surely Viney is the worst offender? Sitting here watching the likes of Pendles and Sidearse so silky skilled and wondering what the hell is wrong with our senior players. The last few weeks Viney looks like he's never seen a football before. How is this possible?

If the free is paid and they're wrestling with the kicker - shouldn't that be 50m?

The AFL is a farce

Aren't we supposed to use the code word 'classy' when discussing Thai entertainment establishments?

Wouldn't it make for a more exciting final round if the Hawks were to lose today? Make it happen Dillon!

Disappointing end to the quarter really. 16 seconds, that's plenty of time to kick a couple more snags😁

Simon Meredith should be sacked for that. It was right in front of him

Ripe for the picking

They're not just tackles either, bonecrushers

He's basically allowed to be in the protected area if he's marking an opposition player. If anything it was our players fault for remaining in the area and not taking him out. Can't recall who it was though.

Let's see if it pays off for em

Wasn't that the game where Koz was on fire early and then copped the high hit - after which he was totally ineffective?

One umpire said not 15, while the other was screaming pay it, pay it. Didn't have much choice but to let go. Chaos

Was a strange option to go to him in the back pocket in the first place. Was never going to end well was it

Are we any chance of a training report today? I see Kalani White was there, so possibly gets a game for Casey again?

The appeals board to be comprised of Heath Shaw, Nathan Buckley, Phil Carman, with a guest appearance from current player Brayden Maynard.

What happened when we ditched The Rev Dazzle? He was very similar to Goody in that he 'had' the players. That's a fact Jack! Nitey nite

Every 2nd disposal? Not even close, in fact we turned over more of their ball on a %age basis than they did ours. But you did mention the main issue.

Read that back to yourself Dazzle. Especially the umpiring bias bit. Wake the F up. If you're acknowledging games are basically fixed - yet still bashing your own players, you're part of the problem. Start sticking up for your club and it's players FFS, rather than turning a blind eye to this rorting.

Ok, throw your coaches hat on for a second. The high free paid against Petracca. How are you coaching him to work around that? "Christian, that was rubbish, you can only tackle around the waist or you'll give away a free kick." I really don't know what the muppets on here expect the players to do. They've won almost every stat tonight and yet are getting bashed by the supporters. 1 stat however was clearly lopsided, and yet they cannot fathom where the game was lost. Is this an intelligence problem?
