Stiff Arm

Schache sub????

It won't go, but contact to head in the speccy will be a free against. Players will have to be very careful in the contest

Please send them over to Eddie Maguire's house, pronto!

Knee to back of head in marking contest will def go at some point. There will be some over riding rule created that covers ALL contact with the head - marking, bumping, tackles, etc. Incidental or not, any contact with the head will be instant free against Reckon it will be around about the time a $500 mill settlement is reached for CTE damages to current/past players Money is what forces the AFL to change

Don't be silly, Spargopants will full back gorilla minder

Is this the 'Is Goodwin the right guy 2.0' thread?

Kossie only attended 1 centre bounce last week. Want to see him in there more And as sure as day follows night, the Carlton rucks and mids will smash into Max all night long without the umpires noticing

Would've thought it to be right up your alley!

Time to hit Voss with a loss

No, the draft is apparently about 30 deep. After that is drops off significantly. Expecting only about 60 players picked But yes, atm we have a good hand

Isn't Petty under contract and McAdam not?

Good lord, if that's how inaccurate he is, AF will be beside himself 🤷

If we don't trade for an established key forward, which i cannot see, I think we'll go for mids with good foot skills in the draft. We have JVR, Petty and Fritter with Jefferson to hopefully put some muscle on over summer. That is the core of our tall/ish fowards, assuming they play most games. Or hoping, I should say. Our problem is delivering it with vision and precision i50, which McKercher will do for 10+ years

Ain't that the truth. Would 100% be a different outcome had it been Viney on Daicos

Time for the MRP and AFL tribunal to be completely independent of the AFL. No former players, no former officials, no one with ties to the AFL. Completely separate from any one in the AFL

AFL has just missed the chance to be the clear sport of choice for parents wanting their kids to play team sports

Yeah, Gus should be suspended for 4 weeks for causing that 🙄

Can the AFL appeal? Oh wait, I forgot what I'm saying... what a stupid suggestion

JVR gets a week and Maynard gets off. FMD now I've seen it all

Dropping the shoulder into the opponent's head after a smother attempt is now legal in footy opening the flood gates for others to do it Watch it happen more often in junior ranks Great legacy Gil

If Maynard gets off, he legitimises every player from this week on trying to smother and then dropping the shoulder into the opponent's head. He will have set the precedent for others to follow. AFL need to be very, very careful

Really? I recall Jobe sooking about it and not returning the brownlow... ever. Said he couldn't find it, or something similar Jobe wasn't "screwed", he was banned for drugs not permitted by WADA at the time and therefore could not win the brownlow. Pretty simple

SEN This morning saying Maynard was reluctantly let into the Brayshaw house bringing flowers, chocolate and wine. An unamed Melb player was there with Gus at the time and was so angry at Maynard, he had to leave the room. Fair to say the the Brayshaw and Frawley families are not happy with Maynard. I suspect they will be furious when his hearing is over

Many times this year where we've played daring, skillful footy for a quarter and blown the game apart. Vs Brisbane was a good example. Fast movement i50, players leading to the ball carrier, chaos ball rather than long bombs, more open forward line Certainly there's more to it than this, but one thing we know for sure: bombing it on top of forwards does not work fir us in finals against good teams

Oh, but we had 4 out of bounds in the last!!! 🙄
