I reckon Broad ran off Hurley to leave him free to mark and goal. Footy has a heart.

That is the scoreline from Werribee vs Northern Bullants. Not sure how they have confused that with Brisbane vs Casey

Oliver and Petracca are far better players than Neale, Angus is a better player too. It will be a travesty if he wins a 2nd Brownlow ahead of them. We just need to pile up the flags.

Rich, Lyons, Andrews, McCluggage, Rayner, Starcevich - all better choices than Zorko.

Chris Fagan has been good for Brisbane but it's an indictment on his leadership that he's had Beams then Zorko as captains.

I don't like North.

Hoping I'm in the branch of the Universe where this happens.

Do you really think number of possessions is one of Spargo's KPIs?

Harmes to Neale, Angus to wing, JJ out.

The truth is that if not for the utter bungling incompetence of the Carlton Football Club on 5 occasions in the last 2 minutes then we lose that match. Melky outmarks 3 Carlton defenders, all taller than him. Newnes drops a simple uncontested mark when Viney over kicks it inside 50 Owies miskicks a 15m uncontested backwards pass to "Woof" and it bounces short Saad's kick down the line to a Carlton 3 on 1 doesn't result in a Carlton mark Hunt's kick back down the line to a Carlton 3 on 1 doesn't result in a Carlton mark and in fact it hits Young in the head Pickett goal!

Can I give all 21 to Melky. He actually kicked 5 goals if the BB out of bounds wasn't called and he made the tackle on Silvagni at the death which should have been holding the ball, and was every time against us in the same part of the ground the week before. Should have been 6 goals including the sealer.

Love her passion and feel her pain. That was me when Tuohy kicked that goal after the siren. Max delivered the antidote last year.

Nice that the whole squad can travel to Queensland together.

Isn't that exactly what you've done?

I think Grundy will have other attractive suitors - Geelong and Port. If he moves it won't be a total firesale.

McKay 7 marks (season average 5.8), 4 contested marks (season average 2.2) and 3 goals (season average 2.4) was in danger of getting away from May. The over the top goal was definitely May's fault, he's the goalkeeper, how does his man get 25 metres goalside of him? The thing about Curnow - he IS brilliant and often makes those plays. The luck was on our side. IMO a better match up would have been the reverse of what we went for.

McKay and Curnow are great players and we did a decent job of curbing their influence - I think we were fortunate that Curnow finished with 1.4. I just wonder if we could have improved the match-up - I think Petty on McKay and May on Curnow is possibly a more effective combination that plays to our strengths. Petty has the reach to go with McKay and May has the strength and mobility to go with Curnow.

It's 3 on 3 at the centre bounce, their 3 was usually Cripps, Walsh and Docherty or some combination - they can play.

What are horrible set to choose from. The only good part is one of them will miss.

Ben Brown was fine for the way we went forward. Tirelessly created an aerial contest, always outnumbered and often had to make enormous ground to get to the contest.

Jayden was enormous in those last two minutes @Lucifers Hero! Driving the ball forward.

It's probably our colours, understandably they all want to go to Hawthorn and Gold Coast.

And Richmond 2017 - only J.Riewoldt

The whole point of my post is that Cripps' "intention" is not the issue. That wasn't in the charge. FWIW, for similar reasons Hawkins should have been suspended for "carelessly" breaking May's jaw. But there's one rule for stars and another for ANB and Chandler.
