    Yes we are sure, it was paid a free not a mark and no 50m penalty.

    As Ainsworth ran past the umpire, he put his hands up and called play on and watched him run 40 metres into goal without bouncing the ball.

    He bounced it as he ran past the umpire. The tv vision didn't show that. From where he bounced to where he kicked it could arguably been too far, but he definitely bounced it

    Iā€™m a big JT fan and I think our policy over the next couple of year should be the go to the draft with what will surely be very good picks.

    You are aware we have no 1st rounder this year? What might have been pick 5 is now Essendon's to use.

    Or are you talking about 2026 and 2027? My money is on Taylor/Lamb trading those picks out as well.

    I feel like on the Kayo broadcast Gerard Healy goes into bat for us and has a bit of love for (one of) his ex-teams but just about everyone else d-rides the opposition.

    Huh???

    Gerard Healy has a particular dislike for Melb, has for years. Supposedly stems back to how he perceives he was treated by the club when he left, but I'm not sure about that.

    Even when we win he finds ways to make snide remarks, subtle backhanders that are wrapped up in an attempt at compliments.

    I like him when it's not us playing, he's a good commentator with excellent insight.

    Having said that, would rather him work a Melb game than Dermie, BT or screaming Brayshaw any day of the week

    Collingwood double the Saints free kick count

    Josh Daicos just threw it out of a tackle inside saints f50. Play on!

    It must be easy being a Pies supporter when you know it's always stacked in your favour

    And AFL bosses love it

    McStay has never kicked more than 28 goals in a season. He wouldn't have changed our fortunes.

    In our long bomb forward line he would be hopeless. With the pies exceptional delivery he looks a million dollars

    Windsor has far greater scope than Jayden Hunt, heā€™s much better in traffic and aerially

    Agree, Windsor is having a poor season, which could be contributed somewhat to an interrupted preseason. Are we expecting too much from a second year player whose just turned 20?

    To me, Windsor's kicking last year looked a strength, his kicks to advantage were excellent and he was one of the few regularly lowering his eyes i50. IMO the comparisons to Jayden Hunt are incorrect.

    His year reflects second year blues (for want of a better term) from a guy in a team that is bottom 6 and all over the shop.

    Put him in a top 4 team and we'd all be saying why did we pick Caddy instead of him?

    The real crime is that Logan Morris, Joel Freijar and Darcy Wilson were not on our radar enough. We traded 14, 27 and 35 for pick 11 to get the Kolt. We could've got all three. Coulda, shoulda, woulda
