So the pies and the Hawks are the only game in town next week? And they wonder why they alone regularly get 80,000 to a game? Where the hell are people supposed to go?

Would’ve been best if they had. That fiefdom needs a damn good shake up

We all know that the umpiring last night was disgraceful. The next question I guess is whether it was misconduct, or simple incompetence? If it’s the “noise of affirmation”, can we put some noise cancelling headphones on these guys, or give them some training on not being easily influenced?

Yep, exactly! One of the most important parts of the game – Centre clearances – is almost impossible to see with most broadcast. And don’t even get me started on the incompetence of the VFL broadcasts. You’re lucky to have the picture on the screen at all – just some rubbish that they put on during the breaks.

Not even sure what the free was for, let alone the very soft 50m penalty. Headband umpire is having a mare.

Just for interest sake, are these guys in yellow the same as dogs V pies?

One is a slightly smarter version of the other?

No way in a million years would they change the shape of that ground.

The litter box isn’t quite so [censored] this year as it was last year.

Yes that was a fun season – I can’t recall those Carlton players either, but I think they were from their foreign legion days, when they thought it was a good idea to recruit exGWS players and ended up with a GWS seconds side 😂

I’ve already mentioned Bowser, but I thought we were 1st to the ball for most of the game but were undone by the [censored] conditions – a bit like most of the games in the northern states “opening round“ this year. When nobody can pick up the ball, it just degenerates into a farce. While I’m here, I also think that the SCG should be made to make some sort of recompense for their effort (or lack of) getting the ground ready for a match 3 weeks after some bloody concert. If they can’t get the ground ready in time, they can transfer it to another ground or forfeit. Stuff them!

The previous night on channel 9, Hird was saying that he moved him from the wing down forward and Melky was a much better player now. Sounded a bit like he was taking credit for Melky‘s growth as a player? Among the many advancements of Western civilisation to which we owe JH? I await the book.

The main problem from this one stemmed from losing Bowser early on with the shoulder injury from which he has only just got back into form. It was a great, courageous act – but I really hope he doesn’t go so kamikaze again.

I think Viney will go to Heeney. He may not be a good match in the air, but he will give him pressure all over the ground. Heeney is more damaging when he goes forward and needs someone with a more defensive mindset than Clarry, who will probably go to Warner. Spargo and Sharp are not receiving much love here, but I wonder if their pressure in the forward line was instrumental in Brisbane not kicking their way through? Selection pressure is good

I was thinking the same, but then there is no coverage to give Max a rest. So I think AJ will probably retain his spot. It was a nice goal – who said the soccer training was a waste of time?

What a beautiful set of numbers!

Glad that he got some reward for his effort – just happy he didn’t have to pick the ball up.

Great intensity in that final quarter. Once we had control of the ball and scored a few times, there was a great well of BELIEF. The guys also shared the ball much better this week. It’s great to see handball chains coming out of the middle and from half back rather than blind dump kicks. It’s what’s been lacking in the past couple of weeks – just need to share the ball rather than try to win it all by themselves.

Watching it again, now! Who’s with me?

I love the fact that there is absolutely no reference to the tigers v kangaroos game today. Didn’t give it much of a thought myself either.

Nice work, GW and team

Well, [censored] me!

Damn Give milky another 7 years!

That’s why you don’t jump for those.

Good idea, GW! I think this could be revolutionary in cheer squads. The use of the INTERCHANGE! We need you to be fresh at 3/4 time, and bring them home with a big last quarter. Maybe give the players a bit of your Red Bull at 3/4 time as well. Are they allowed to have Red Bull? Hope you all have a great day.👍
