They shouldn't.

So they should.

Our game plan should be don't let Bolton touch the footy.

I didn’t think Hogan’s slap was any worse than several others that have got fines or completely let off. It was retaliation, other player wasn’t hurt and it appeared a reflex action more than a deliberate attack. 1 week for Toby was a gift, potential to injure was high.

I think we are now into about 8 months on this and no result. Imagine if he was a Chinese swimmer and they found that his sample was contaminated.

He was the alter ego of Superman.

Just saw McCreery and ex-Pie, now Bulldog Poulter having a coffee. Really wanted to ask McCreery if he would like to come across to the Dees. His pace is a real weapon. Good player.

That's not true. If he simply put his arms out to take the mark, no issue. He braced and hit other player's face with his braced arm and shoulder. That is what they are trying to stop. The aerial or on ground shirt front to the head. Might be lucky and get a week. Giants would be mad not to take that.

Experienced player averaging 30 possies, gone in first few minutes, replaced by a rookie player who got a few meaningless possies. Players in shock for at least a quarter. One fresh player down for nearly the whole game. We lost by 7 points. Yes you could argue strongly that hit cost us the game and possibly a flag. Most thought the winner of that game would win the flag.

I wouldn’t say it’s the lowest.

Does he qualify for the good bloke defence?

Toby, Coniglio and Taylor out helps Lions.

Thankfully we have great commentators. Darcy at 13 minutes to go in game, with Cats over 4 goals up, in rain, says ” if Lions are to win, they simply must get the next goal, you would think”. Yes most of us would think that. Lions had only kicked 4 goals for the game. Then at 9 minutes to go, he says “ the Lions need the next goal” and at that point they are nearly 5 goals down. Maybe I am being a bit hard, as most of them are just ex footballers, not professional sport commentators.

How could Tigers and Crows get rid of him, even if he was a bit naughty.

Back it in.

Concussion. Back for us of course.

Now Blues play Cats without Stewart and coming back from a heavy interstate slogfest.

Oh yes the Trifecta.

Pies now Blues. Wonderful.

Willy Rioli as selfish as you will ever see.

Cox puts the knee up and into the opponent at every contest. Needs to get it returned.

Clarry from Ralphy.

The AFL refers to us having one free spot because of Gus' retirement, but what of the Smith spot? He is not allowed to play, but hasn't as yet had a decision in his case. Surely he goes onto the LTI and a spot opens up, as he is very unlikely to play again this year.

Apparently training well and says he will be right.

Don’t blame umpire number 25 who was the closest umpire. I posted when we played the Dogs, he was probably the worst umpire I had ever seen. Have seen him a few times since and he has got worse. Rare to see Crows get less frees at home. 21-12 we copped is more the usual. Anyway it wasn’t the umpires who cost Crows the game, it was their horrible disposal. Rachelle also dropped a couple of sitters right in front and missed a couple of shots. Too many fumbled and butchered the ball. If Bombers kicked for goal a little better, it would have been an easy win. If Port beat Pies and Bombers can also, Pies’ season would be very shaky.
