Chook

What are those weird silver and gold objects on the picture? Nah just kidding I was born before 2000.

What would you prefer? No lines, no circle, but also no holding - basically like boundary throw-ins as they're adjudicated now (keep a metre distance until the ball is bounced/thrown up)? What would stop players like Grundy taking all of Gawn's space? IMO there needs to be a neutral zone that you can't cross till the ball's in the air.

What rules are they? Genuinely interested.

If Dixon couldn't get it done against McDonald and Lever (and Hore) I don't think Tex can given his performance this year.

Nice to see OOOZZEE get the Gatorade shower. Never thought I'd be this quick to forgive the tigers their flags, but they might be in 2nd team contention this year for me, with Adam coaching them.

Boy the Squiggle loves us (flagpole height indicates statistical ranking in the comp): https://live.squiggle.com.au/#

This comparison really sells it. He's got elite attributes comparable to the best qualities of absolute greats but all put together in a single 7 foot tall bearded package.

West Coast are so unbelievably awful. It's a bad look for the competition but they can't be getting any bonus picks just yet. They won a flag 6 years ago. Need another 4 years at least of performances like this before priority picks come onto the table for a team that won so many flags in the AFL era and has won one so recently. Still it's a bad look for the comp - one dud game per week.

As we should. Langdon's really damaging IMO, much moreso than Hunter and probably Brayshaw (Brayshaw's strength as a winger was his versatility, overhead marking and leadership). Langdon was a critical offensive weapon for us in '21, and we moved away from that incorrectly imo. Just look at his game last night.

When both sets of supporters are whinging then you know the umpiring has been pretty solid. Like that old saying about compromise:

He used to go to ground a lot and fumble at inopportune moments. He’d be the first to say he has been working on his game and has dramatically improved in those areas, taking his game to the next level as a result.

Crows were flying at that stage in the season as well, having beaten the Lions, just lost to Collingwood and pushing GWS. Totally different formline for them now.

Defence held up incredibly well, and we took our opportunities in front of goal. We were beaten in the contest, but we could have been smashed in the contest - to remain pretty even despite it not being our night in there was critical.

Unreal. One of the best wins I've ever seen. Culture.

Has the Woewodin sub been made yet?

How that wasn't holding the ball against Ben Brown I'll never know, but we'll take it. What a turnaround! C'mon Dees!

Incredible tap from Chandler, and ANB is playing the game of his life.

Willie Rioli scragging at every forward contest.

McDonald has been doing a pretty manful job on Dixon - there's no way Tomlinson would have done as well.

Sydney ran all over us in the last a few weeks ago. You'd think that would be front of mind for the team here - not letting that happen again.

Jeez we're hanging on by a thread, and the ability to find those two goals late is so important. You can't see us getting over the line but we're a shot!

Jack Viney you ripper! What a goal.

Natives are restless. Both teams have lost composure, but port's run is taking advantage of the chaos. It's going to be critical to remain calm - so often we see teams lose their heads in this situation and it costs them.

The ball went in there pretty quick, and we were further up the ground as it was a quick transition?

lol Ratugolea.
