  1. Great result, now we just need the right result on the field . Can't wait
  2. Of course it has been upheld. AFL don't want to be shown up again. They need to come out and explain what a player is supposed to do in Hunter's position. They won't because as Hunter argued the only way to avoid contact was to move out the way and let rozee get the ball . Which is right and against the fundamentals of the game. Just rediculous a punch to the guts is ok but this is not

    A Steven May Grand final hammy in round 11.

    All the clock bait journos and sports sites ran with the up to 4 weeks headline for clicks even before the scans came back. Now they are hedging. I'll wait to hear from the club

    We really lack skillful smart players in the midfield. Yet we look out best when Trac, clarry and Viney are out centre square mids. Quite the conundrum
  6. Jvr, Judd mcvee and Chandler have had 3 mediocre weeks in a row after great starts to the year. McDonald is really past it for the role he is being asked to play no mobility or ground ball ability. Hunter several soft acts staying to get on my nerves. Wouldn't be upset if all of the above didn't play next week
  7. I absolutely despise the sush celebration. Said to my mate that's the Collingwood still in him.
  8. We didn't deserve to win. Got ourselves in a position to and got dominated in the last qtr. Some missed calls and free kicks at crucial stages hurt. But we need to be better. A 20 year old developing key forward and shot cumbersome one isn't going to work .
  9. Can't carry jvr and tmac
  10. We are a crappy wet weather team
  11. I did get flashbacks. Was no where near it when he came back last year. Surely we have learnt and he is more ready to go this time around
  12. +1 I've got 3 kids under 12 who play early Saturday morning sport so they don't even get to watch out the full game on tv let alone go to the game
  13. Maybe the investigation had unearthed some damming evidence? Either way the way it's been handled is appalling and would take a toll on anyone. The AFL are so incompetent at times
  14. 8.1 since opening up with 0.5 is good.

    Jvr finally did get what he deserved

    You know what they say about common sense. It isn't common

    Genuine question if he went for a mark in the same situation running back and took someone out would he be suspended? I suspect not! Just farcical and no sense of the game these muppets

    [censored], hope this dosen't end up with roo hesitant to hit packs full throttle
  19. No Petty, simple as that for mine. No coincidence that they couldn't get past half majority of the last qtr when Petty was back. Vital to the structure the past 3 years
  20. kozzie started mid. Was on fire then spent the next 3 quarters anchored inside the 50. Some really bad coaching tonight
  21. Agree, and they hung Turner out to dry , leaving him one out on casbolt the majority of the game. So undersized compared to him. Jvr needs brown back in. We need Petty back the moves are obvious hopefully see it next week.
  22. I've seen some bad takes this is one of them
  23. Petty back FFS
  24. Dead set liability this year
  25. Backline look all at sea since Petty been moved. Get him back and Brown in
