Bulldogs invest heavily in a forward/reluctant ruckman when they really needed a genuine ruck backup for English who can drift forward. Freo invest extremely heavily in a ruckman with very little forward craft and runs on the board based purely on potential when they desperately need a genuine tall forward or another key defender. So happy with the MFC list managers right now.

A bottom 4 finish for Freo with LJ winning their B&F is fine with me too.

Re Sauce booing: Agree. All pantomime and in good fun and as a response to the Hunter booing. I think a lot of Melbourne supporters gave him a good cheer when he kicked his goal. And loved how we drowned out the booing. The dogs supporters seemed to lose interest after that.

The AFL weren’t happy with it and changed the rules to reduce the possibility of the Cripps farce happening again.

Gonna be lineball for worst performance of the week. Suns or Dockers.

Definite micro-manager personality so no surprise.

If not that, some more fleshing out how and why things were graded how they were.

LJ has missed two gettable goals so good to see he is doing his bit to maximise our return.

Two match balls got nicked by some enterprising young fans at the Hawks Bombers game. Ch7 chose to show it all to the world so every chance this will now be a thing.

May will be back and he owns Buddy so all good.

This is the change to the system that many aren’t taking into account and why we would be wasting our time and focus if we were to challenge.

Fair result. Hope he keeps his natural aggression but keeps low and grounded when he bumps and avoids the late ones too.

Agree. The umpires have gone back to the overzealous dissent interpretation from preseason last year.

I hope this means Cornes knows Kozzy isn’t going anywhere. If not, I hope Kozzy is made aware how much Powers biggest fan was out to get him and he tells them to stick the offer up their [censored].

Great summary. Unlucky timing (again it feels for this MFC supporter) with the current concussion spotlight but I’ve advocated for more emphasis to be on the act rather than the outcome for a long time. I think 1 or 2 is a fair result, and I think any more would be a grossly unfair distortion of the grading matrix. He needs to bump way more horizontal than in the upward trajectory this had.

Added to the above, whoever Moore lines up on needs to keep him accountable so he can’t go third man up. Hawkins played him horribly last night.

Respectfully I’d hope. Can’t imagine there would be any bad blood.

Yeah, great news. They really have created something special. Great that we can celebrate their premiership tonight.

I reckon the notion that it’s a significant experiment is grossly overstated. How is it so different to the Gawn/Jackson combo?

All the Richmond and Carlton supporters who spent all yesterday convincing themselves that their teams were contenders got hit by a reality sledge hammer if they watched last night.

Hawkins keeps taking his man close to other contests so his man can run off him and make impact. You’d think he’d learn but he keeps doing it.
