Chook

That throw was disgustingly obvious from Cripps. Give them the flag now if that's what the umps are going to allow this year from Carlton.

Great running goal from Jayden Hunt for West Coast, running off the backline before dishing it off and then getting it back again in the forward line and goaling.

Anyone listening to Dermie, Lynch and Dwayne Russell commentating the Brissy v North game? It's like listening to three old numpties chewing the fat by the fence in the local leagues. It has its charm, but probably is a little below the standard of seriousness required for national television.

I'm one of those who have made comparisons, and yeah…you rewatch Flower and you just see a man amongst men, taking the pizz on the regular. Long way to go yet.

Incredible effort. Surely we've just done something no club has ever done before - knock of both of a non Vic state's sides over there in consecutive weeks.

Definitely a free against Lever there. Feeling a flutter of nerves here.

Called it. Benny Brown subbed out for Woey. I would have done it earlier but it's the right call.

Absolutely superb. With McDonald back to his best position and with Lever and May to support/lead, we've got an even better backline than we already had (we already had the best backline).

I reckon Lever handpassed that before the mark was paid. Any umpire worth his salt would call that back.

Petty is promising, but he kicks for goal like a defender that's for sure.

How was that not a free to Petty. Dragged literally to the turf with the ball not even in screen.

Everyone yukking Billings' kicking, no one celebrating his chase down tackle. Ok then.

Well done Billings. Great tackle to force the htb call.

Free kick or mark to Roo, take your pick.

Yeah - Brown off imo.

Fritta is entering his 4 touch 3 goal portion of the match, par for the course from him as the star he is..

That's just pure class from Bailey Fritsch there. There aren't many players in the AFL who could do what he did so effortlessly. BT thoroughly unimpressed though of course.

May clearly blocked off the ball leading to Clarry being one-out vs Tex Walker, not ideal for the umpires there.

I think he just makes overly aggressive decisions. Tommy McDonald did the same thing when he was around the same age. It's an education thing not a skill thing I think.

ANB continuing the good form as well IMO. McDonald, Lever, and McVee have all been great as well in defence.

Should be a free in the centre square after the goal if you've already got a free on the goal line.

The whole "dissent" saga has been such a joke from where it started in that first pre-season game vs Carlton in 2022 to where it is now, as essentially a "don't mention the scoreboard replay function" is so silly but so typical of the AFL.

Looks a certain week to me.

We just look the classier outfit. Getting out of this state with the 8 points will feel very good if we can do it.
