Chook

Fair point.

Spoiler alert: Jack Viney wasn't the one crying (as if you needed to know that).

I can see it now. A player yells at the umpire (because it's loud out there in a close game with a packed MCG). The umpire mishears/doesn't hear, but sees the player's yelling something…and pays 50 against him.

Yes sensible people who don't have time for stupidity or gimmicks tend to be assets to teams comprised predominantly of fools.

It shows you how tough the ton will be to crack in AFLW. Melbourne dominated like you've never seen, and just got there by 1 goal.

Highest AFLW score…and the ton. Go girls haha!

The lions scored 98 points last week.

Daisy having a Max-like captain's game experience on Optus oval.

Karen Paxman turning back the clock. 100 is in danger.

I don't want to be negative, but as much as I like McNamara her disposal is awful.

This is definitely washing whatever little bit of bad taste in my mouth was there after Thursday night.

My opinion of it has gone up a little since 2018 that's for sure.

From just yesterday. Life is short, and can end in a moment.

I legit went "holy f" when I read this. Absolutely shocking news.

I get my wish. For what it's worth. Both grand finalists coming into r1 off a loss.

I'd love to face the dogs coming off a preseason loss just like us. Probably means nothing but I'd like it anyway. Lions are my tip for our GF opponent this year.

Having 85% of your backline out is not something "depth" can fix. Depth is 1-3 players max. After that you're asking too much, as more than half your core group isn't there to stabilize the others.

Bowey could do it no problem if he weren't surrounded by the likes of Smith and Hunt who I wouldn't trust to watch my bike while I nip into the shops for a pie for fear they'd forget what they're doing and wander off home.

Where my backline at?

For years I've dreamed about being one of those clubs (you know the ones) who could afford to take the preseason games lightly because they had bigger things in mind. Soak it in! We lost and it means nothing! Wahoo!!!

8 50 metre penalties, 3? 6-6-6 rule violations, Brayshaw in the backline, 5/6 first-choice backliners out? Yeah, not taking much from this one.

Damn. We'll have to wait a whole year to redeem ourselves and win a preseason game.

lol this would be the ultimate troll if we pinch this

8 50 meter penalties probably the difference. That and 80% of the team playing at 20% of max effort for most of the game.

One of our best tonight, and one of the few whose effort has been somewhere near acceptable levels.
