Stiff Arm

Worth remembering that Cripps got off not because of what he did, but because of a procedural technicality, a loophole which the AFL have now closed. He would've got weeks had it not been for that. Kossie cannot use Cripps' charge at the Lions player as a precedent. I reckon he'll get 4 weeks. If Smith comes out and says it was a hit to his chest/shoulder, he might get 1 for reckless behaviour. But it looked to me like there was contact to his head (face), even if chest contact was first. Interesting dilemma for the AFL: Kossie's looked terrible and targetted but Smith got straight back up, Buddy's looked relatively harmless and in the act of going for the ball, but the opponent was concussed. Are they going to punish the act or the outcome, or both?

So you're writing him off after one game? Seriously??? Spargo was good tonight. Another one if your 'not up to it' players, hey?

As I said... Pickett shoulder contact to head Watch https://twitter.com/AFL/status/1637029949206036480?s=20

Look at the vision mate. Made contact with head causing it to pivot back quickly. Might've got shoulder first, but clearly contacted head

Why? It's his first game! We're good enough to keep playing him and develop in the ones

Out: Pickett, Harmes In: Fritter, Viney

I fear for Kossie at tribunal. Did not look good

Kossie's hit would make his uncle proud

I used to know a Bulldogs player who did his knee at Docklands about 10 years ago. He told me because he did it playing seniors he got match payments for each week until his return or until his contract finished, whichever was first. Back then I think it was about $4k per game

It works. A QR code is a QR code, whether it's a screen shot or from the app

I did screen shots of my barcode last year and it worked every time. I could always use the app if there was a problem, but never needed to. Forwarded screen shot to mates when I couldn't go, no problems

Yes, but he would've benefited under our development system. He won't under Carlton's, too cruisy. He's a very good player wasting his career

Think he meant 'crappy'

Neither team deserved the 2 points

A non result for a non game

Finally they're catching Dusty's fend offs!

They really need to stop the blatent push out from the boundary throw in. Lynch simply shoved his opponent then

FMD, how many betting ads are there these days? Disgraceful

At least we're an entertaining club to watch play. This is a snoozefest

3/4 of the comp have these two covered, based upon tonight

But the Tigers are a top 2 team, apparently 🙄

Cowan looks like a prospect

Either these two sides are hopeless, or they're very, very rusty. Not a great spectacle

Dusty goes the stiff arm and gets pinged by a tackle. Play on! Isn't that one of the reasons they brought in a 4th umpire, to get more eyes on the play? FMD

How's the serenity?
