Do they put it on the goal umpire, total farce has robbed crowd the chance of finals https://www.afl.com.au/news/1013704/this-was-a-mistake-afl-ceo-gillon-mclachlan-backs-review-system-crows-loss-stands-after-wrong-decision

So [censored] at the crows, they had that, they suddenly could kick a goal, then not focussed no that last point. They ruined my tipping :)

Great news.

I think the home match data is more important. What was the club goal for average home game crowds in the strategic plan. Does this show us again of being one of the “Big four” Or five clubs in the AFL? :)

Blues are playing their best footy and they were good. It was that 5 minutes in the 4th where we let them kick 3 quick ones that separated the two sides. That was the difference across the whole game. We almost got it back and slightly straighter kicking we would have had it. But we didn't.

Yeah I though at the time it was the wrong decision from what I could see on TV, given it was just 6v6 in the fwd line.

Despite all his attributes he brings to the game. He doesn’t fit into our current structure when you compare to the alternate forwards, we really missed petty last night and Grundy is not even close as a forward.

That would be good for him. Maybe help us out indirectly

He s player that will push himself for the team, been highlighted a few times on On The Couch, but isn't consistently been best 22 in the eyes of the blues.

Just finished watching the game. Should I read the first war and a bit on the gamely thread. I imagine it was pretty raw. North was good at the start but ran out of legs.

Good to see the hawks responding!

Yep! :)

Have the pies fallen in a hole after such an continuous high intensity year

Bloody eagles, they has it... so close. thought 2 pts and they'll lose pick 1...

what a terrible weekend so far for tipping, isn't it great :)

Lots of upsets already this weekend, go GC

Will port fold?

The payout figure on his contract to do it this year is about $3m and that comes out of the softsap, if they did that, think of how many support staff they'll lose.

Were any of those academy players originally from our zone before the change by the AFL?

A potentially great player for the club, but best in 1 position that is really crowded at the moment. I know we want to keep him, but is it the best thing for his personal career. At this stage I would say no. Being out of contract I dont know if we would get his real value if he decides to leave.

Still a lot of movement in that part of the ladder, but we'll get a really good pick considering what we would have had coming into this year. Topping up on some high end talent will prolong our time in contention.

He is a calm and very smart footballer. I think on stats he is the least beaten players in the league 1:1. Unlikely to win the rising star, but he's the natural replacement for Hibbo on those super dangerous small/med forwards we have been looking for.

He's broken and needs a break from AFL level to recover and get form back. Last game 87% game time playing mid/wing for 6 possessions. But Wie can't / won't drop him to help him. They will need to live with his heavily backended contract like lots of their broken stars, or they are going to have a fire sale wore then the pies.

You can't say that for certain, as in reality the success of the coach is really linked to the playing group and the organisation behind him. We improved when we got our house in order and finally got a great recruiter and better development.

No Freo Jackson and losing Meek.
