Aside from Taj and Salem, any of these guys wanna show up tonight.

Billings has to go out.

Petty is also in danger.

Btw we gifted two goals, the Howes turnover and the 50m penalty to May. Score should be 34 to 16

16 [censored] points in a half of footy, very Hawthorn like.

What's happening to JVR? Let's the ball go through his hands , he used to be very safe at marking 

Why's Petty laughing? 🤦🏻‍♂️

They run we stroll honestly

Petracca long shots at goal are terrible.

He should just stop, he is awful not even close.

This is worse than the Sydney game, they may as well forfeit.

ANB the people's darling also playing very bad tonight 

Petty really awful

Even Max can't mark I50 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Howes worst game

You can't play soft, fumbly football and expect to compete.

No, too small we already have too many small players who are as good if not better with the football.

Just let the Caulfield project go through, I may be moving there next year 🤞🏻

No rain the whole morning in the west, forecast is not showing any rain for the rest of the day.

It has definitely crossed my mind that there is more than a hint of racism in all this.

Media were at pains to paint Maynard as Mother Teresa, but Kosi is the biggest snipper in the game?

Something stinks

Eddie McGuire 😶😶

This is the major issue and the reason so many fans are frustrated, myself included. There is no consistency to the MRO or the tribunal findings and also the way the media and the AFL questioning is from case to case.

7 months ago Maynard performed one of the more dangerous acts I've seen on a footy field, which resulted in a player retiring and gets nothing. Pretty sure there were still rules around showing a duty of care at that time, so not sure why it wasn't applied in that case.

We now find ourselves where an incidental contact, while dumb from Kozzy it wasn't a dirty act and was made with very little force gets a 1 week suspension. In the same weekend Fogarty runs straight at Fyfe and launches himself at him with a clenched fist, misses the ball by a mile and punches him in the throat. This is assessed the same as a glancing blow from Kozzy.

Then last week Rivers tackles Rozee, who throws himself to the ground (arms free) and the MRO issue a fine. The next weekend Toby Greene dumps Mac Andrew into the turf and it's nothing to see because - his arm was free.

WTF is wrong with this competition and their adjudication.

The MRO needs to be a panel of people, not one bloke who has shown himself to be inept. I would also be comfortable if the AFL said, he will have a 3 man panel deciding each incident and there's no tribunal option, their decision is final. It's the AFL's competition they can suspend anyone they want, why does there have to be tribunal involved if they have a panel who can discuss and make decisions.

Not only is that MRO person inept, but corrupt. Didn't he threatened to resign if certain someone was suspended last September?

Hi George OTO the latest number has been posted on Membership page. 56,756 so we are level pegging with 2022 numbers. Also interesting that during our horror stretch 2007 - 2014 our Membership actually increased from 27k to 36k so a lot of us stayed true when it was very hard to do so.😁

Surely it was driven by the great leadership of the late Jim Stynes.

Wasn't sure where to put this, but my son came home from pre school today singing the [censored] Carlton song. He said one of his friends was singing it. It also came up on the kids algorithm on Spotify when my wife was driving him home. 

I suppose it's possible to push the theme song out on Spotify. It's actually a very clever way of potentially getting new supporters. 

We should do this.

Push Grand Old Flag on socials and Spotify.

Have your kids watch Caden McDonald YT content. Caden is mad about the Dees and he's got a lot of pull with the younger generations.

I honestly do not understand how highly paid highly educated decision makers are so out of touch whether it be in civil or sporting cases. There is no sense. It galls me that grubby [censored] from Collingwood is a premiership player. I don’t understand how Kossie and Fogarty have the same penalty and going by the AFL’s reasoning how Toby Greene wasn’t even looked at. Mac Andrews head hitting the ground registered as a bounce stat for [censored] sake. The system is beyond broken. 

Our only hope is a class action against the AFL in a few years by all the players that feel let down by this crook of a system.

I look forward to all the reasonings next time around when it’s one of the afl’s favourites they need to get out of a minor bump.. 

Sounds like a pretty average performance from Anderson but the lawyering up front is only part of the process, other key pieces include “how will this make the AFL look in the media?” and “how will this affect the class action lawsuits down the track?” 

Don't worry it won't be reportable, so no need for the banana republic courtroom of the MRO to get their hands dirty.

Thought this was going to be a thread about how one finds time to get to the football whilst balancing one's parental obligations.

You bring the kids to the footy of course! 😁

I have no idea. I don't really know which gets more listeners Apple Podcast or Spotify because I don't have any metrics for Spotify. I probably cost "listeners numbers" on the app platforms by doing the live show but I like the ability to take calls from Demonlanders. We wouldn't have found @binman otherwise.

How was the first interaction with binman over the phone?
