IAgain I think it's a pretty good summation of the bog players. Which is why they should shake up the brownlow and use the coaches votes instead of the umpires.

the other big difference (and an improvement) is the coaches votes involve 10 separate votes vs the brownlow's only 3

We really should have been scheduled to play Port on the Friday night giving us a 6 day break. The AFL should try to avoid 5 day breaks as much as possible if not at all.

crows won't have got too much of an advantage.  one more day for them, but they had the long flight before and after their game which would have cut into that extra day

plus crows got 2 injuries to mllera and  murphy - both knee injuries

There will only ever be one Robbie Flower.

The way he ran in full flight……….it’s as if he was floating or running on air. It was as graceful as running could ever look.

maybe the geelong flyer - aka bobby davis?

can't remember too much except those iconic photos

The  caulfield locals are not happy with the suggestion of melb being based at the race course . The local state and fed member is on board . I would like to say further but certain  board rules prevent me from putting new arguments from the locals for there negativity for the alleged proposal

i don't think the board rules are that restrictive in this case

fire away. i'm very curious what objections local caullfieldians could have

of course it doesn't technically

but it would stop concerts or t20 games being cancelled or ruined

it would also attract better attendances to all events in winter

it would make it potentially  available to more events you'd never otherwise consider 

added: it would also vastly improve the quality of football

Really interested to hear from tribunal:

What should Wright have done differently?

When in the sequence should he have made that decision to act differently? And how long did he have to act?

What is a reasonable penalty for failing to make that choice?

 

The more I watch, the more I feel there was so little time for Wright to act differently?

While similar argument on Maynards was made, this is different from Maynard incident, IMO, as the act of lead-up running at the ball is so normal (Maynard attempted a very abnormal ambitious leap into a smother when Brayshaw was clearly going to have kicked the ball). And both Wright and Cunningham reached ball almost at the same instant, and Cunningham was approaching running diagonal to ball flight and Wright

 

EDIT - didn't expect Guilty plea to all aspects of the charge...

done differently? attempted the mark or attempted to punch the ball or spoil. both, very viable in this case.

a great example is tracc's spoil in last qtr. didn't even touch the player, but then tracc wasn't intent on making the other player "earn his kick". wright knew the other player was vulnerable and had a duty of care

think you've completely missed my point @Ouch! - and i certainly don't think i'm relentlessly negative but you do you - which is that there's no increased media rights value in a 19th team, which is what funds the competition...so they'll want to get a 20th team in quick smart; where will it be?

tasmania should've had a team eons ago, agreed, but because of the perceived / actual value of adding a team where there's already fans they were ignored in favour of making the correct / not 'right' decision to go with the northern franchises to open up into new markets and increase tv rights value

i've heard all of that @Purple77 re bellerive, but i just don't think they need a new stadium with a roof at macquarie point, particularly if it can't be utilised for international cricket as well as afl due to having a roof

isn't hobart the second driest city during winter, or some bizarre stat like that? so...does it really need a roof?

i think you overrate the international cricket argument.

most profitable cricket is t20 and roof is no problem and in fact a benefit.

odi and test cricket attendances are dropping alarmingly and the chances of a test match(s) in tassie are low, as is true for international odi

i had a fracture (heel) when i was 18.  only found out 20 years later when i had a foot xray which showed a healed fracture.

I thought Chandler's first goal on the weekend might have been just beyond his range, just outside 50; but he made the distance quite easily. Never happier to be wrong!

also noticed the dorks player cribbed an extra 3 metres from where he marked

stupid ump let him get away with it, forcing chin to kick from 50. umps really need to pay more attention to setting the mark properly

dorks and ferals seem to be escaping scrutiny

high scoring game

Pies first goal was a bump ball mark so the Saints out of bounce goal evened up the card, Saints were great.😁

yeah, when i saw that first goal from a non-mark, i thought here we go, "free kick, collingwood"

was pleasantly surprised the umps ignored the filth fan noise and actually favoured the aints across the game

SMac as in TMac

but i like smacka or smacca

The umpiring standard was horrendous and it's the first time I enjoyed it.

And if any Pies fan should stumble upon this post.....

That goal from the boundary line ....the ball was definitely out of bounds.

if the filth don't get another free this whole season, they'd still be in credit
