I'd be interested to know how he still has a two week suspension after losing the first appeal. Isn't there supposed to be some sort of incentive/disincentive built in? Accept your punishment and get what you get. Challenge and its an extra week? If not, and if it's just a free hit, why wouldn't everyone challenge every suspension?

Thanks Gonzo. I'll give that a try next time. Glad to hear I can still get a spot on Friday. Quite like sitting up there anyway!

Can I ask... when you guys say "general admission is sold out", does that just mean for non-members who are trying to buy a ticket to the game? Or would it also apply to those with general admission membership, like me? Given we have to wait till 7.50pm tonight before we can even get the mobile membership ticket, it'd be a bit annoying if regular punters who can already buy them online have taken all the seats.

Thats great! I'm seeing my family for the first time in about that long too, also in September. I leave just after the first final, so I'm praying to the footy gods that we either get a home game or are playing another VIC side.

Better still if in that scenario, Brisbane beat the Filth in the Qualifying final: QF1: *GEELONG* v Fremantle QF2: *BRISBANE LIONS* v Collingwood EF1: *SYDNEY* v Western Bulldogs EF2: Carlton v *MELBOURNE* SF1: *FREMANTLE* v Sydney SF2: Collingwood v *MELBOURNE* PF1: Geelong v *MELBOURNE* PF2: *BRISBANE LIONS* v Fremantle GF: *MELBOURNE* v Brisbane Lions All our games would be at the G 👍

I was just about to post the same thing. Here is quick worst case scenario if we lose every game and all other results go as you'd expect... W L D 1. Geelong 18 4 0 137.8% 2. Brisbane Lions 17 5 0 126.4% 3. Collingwood 17 5 0 106.2% 4. Fremantle 15 6 1 119.1% 5. Sydney 15 7 0 126.7% 6. Carlton 14 8 0 112.8% 7. Melbourne 13 9 0 120.7% 8. Western Bulldogs 13 9 0 111.1% 9. Richmond 11 10 1 111.2% 10. St Kilda 11 11 0 97.1% 11. Gold Coast 10 12 0 104.8% 12. Essendon 10 12 0 92.5% 13. Port Adelaide 9 13 0 101.7% 14. Hawthorn 8 14 0 91.6% 15. Adelaide 7 15 0 87.7% 16. GWS 5 17 0 85.0% 17. West Coast 2 20 0 58.7% 18. North Melbourne 2 20 0 56.2% QF1: *GEELONG* v Fremantle QF2: Brisbane Lions v *COLLINGWOOD* EF1: *SYDNEY* v Western Bulldogs EF2: Carlton v *MELBOURNE* SF1: *FREMANTLE* v Sydney SF2: Brisbane Lions v *MELBOURNE* PF1: Geelong v *MELBOURNE* PF2: *COLLINGWOOD* v Fremantle GF: *MELBOURNE* v Collingwood 😎

Early pre-draft pages of this thread make for interesting reading... 😂 (And all the obligatory gems from Dr.D and friends since)

In the 2000's... Melbourne 18 North Melbourne 17 Western Bulldogs 13 St Kilda 10 Richmond 8 Carlton 3 Hawthorn 3 Essendon 2 Collingwood 0 Filth havent played there since 1999

This is the content I come here for

When Eddie gets on his soapbox about something no one else can get a word in, especially if anyone has the gall to disagree with him. Not a fan of Caro, but glad she at least tried to pull him up. He makes the Wednesday Classified is near unwatchable now.

LOL - my very first thought after seeing the hit was that it'd be a fresh entry into the JVMMC thread! 😆

Sliders start sliding at ~2pm Not sure about TV, but coverage starts at 2pm, so probably?

It's a replacement game for the NT match later in the season, so it wont cost you anything if you have a home game membership.

Sorry yep, I missed that one as I was scanning through all the seasons crowd totals. That's the only game this season between a VIC side and an interstate side with more than 40,000. Here's all of them... R10 @ Marvel: Carlton v Sydney - 44,769 R2 @ MCG: Collingwood v Adelaide - 36,843 R5 @ MCG: Carlton v Port Adelaide - 33,433 R12 @ MCG: Melbourne v Sydney - 32,753 R2 @ Marvel: Essendon v Brisbane - 30,631 R11 @ MCG: Melbourne v Fremantle - 29,812 R7 @ MCG: Collingwood v Gold Coast - 28,916 R2 @ MCG: Richmond v GWS - 28,813 R4 @ Marvel: Collingwood v West Coast - 25,897 R8 @ Marvel: Carlton v Adelaide - 25,376 R4 @ Marvel: Essendon v Adelaide - 24,906 R3 @ Marvel: Bulldogs v Sydney - 24,327 R5 @ Marvel: Essendon v Fremantle - 23,935 R5 @ MCG: Melbourne v GWS - 20,791 R4 @ GMHBA: Geelong v Brisbane - 20,505 R7 @ GMHBA: Geelong v Fremantle - 20,136 R11 @ GMHBA: Geelong v Adelaide - 19,051 R5 @ Marvel: St Kilda v Gold Coast - 18,724 R10 @ GMHBA: Geelong v Port Adelaide - 18,721 R2 @ Marvel: North v West Coast - 14,204 R6 @ Mars: Bulldogs v Adelaide -10,412 R10 @ Mars: Bulldogs v Gold Coast - 6,040 Personally, for a non "Big 4" (🙄) club , I don't think our crowds vs Sydney & Freo were too bad. GWS was ordinary, but they have zero fans, so that'd cut the crowd size by probably 5,000.

NO Victorian team draws a big crowd vs interstate sides. So far this season there have only been two such games with a higher crowd than we had on Saturday night. Filth vs Adelaide in R2 (37,000) Carlton vs Port in R5 (33,000)

If anything, it if the supporters of other clubs that lead to me "hating" the club they follow.

Dr.D will be here to share some of his wisdom soon.

How is Rosman progressing? For memory we recruited him with a mind to have him on the wing?

Have they now become our bogey side... for injuries? Last season it was Tomlinson. Hopefully if Langdon is out for a few we can find another silver lining, like with did with Petty.

This. Once again, a MRO decision is based on the outcome, rather than the action.

I've only tuned in for thr last quarter. Is there a reason the Filth supporters are booing Khamis every time he goes near it, or are they just trying to put a cherry on top of racism week?

HTB free payed against Witts... "That's smart by Kennedy. Jumped on top of Witts and dragged it back in" 🤔 If everyone - including the presumably the umpire - can see that the tackler dragged it back in, why does this call continuity go against the guy under the pack who has been tackled?

This was from Ports game review thread last night. Obviously a small sample size, but I always find what opposition supporters say about their own players to be reasonably insightful. (in a non trade-week sense when everyone is worth 2 first rounders) Amon - couple of average moments but his kicking absolutely cut the dogs to shreds last night Thought Amon broke the game open with some beautiful ball movement Amon has his laser boot back. Amon very good with some real pin point passes that cut the Dogs up My biggest and only negative apart from goal kicking. Does Amon look and playing disinterested?

And..? You might be all over Tik Tok and across every post here ever, but I'm sure some havent seen it. I hadn't. Also, THAT particular video was posted a day ago and references Norm Smith medalist, so assumed it was new.
