whatwhat say what

only a matter of time til the bounce is dead tip-off at the centre seems an inevitability

They talk about a streaming service getting involved every rights negotiation and inevitably end up signing with Stokes and Murdoch Can’t see it being different - they won’t want a dead duck incumbency for two whole seasons

no fear that'll happen would be great tho, agreed same thing with selectable camera angles which is what i wanted - 'control your own broadcast' style approach

7 and foxtel / kayo are in a fight at the moment regarding the commentary - ch 7 team are going 'silent' after goals so that they foxtel / kayo watchers don't get 'extra' commentary outside what ch 7 viewers receive i love that 5 afl execs have jetted off to meet with international streamers; they literally did this five years ago and then...re-upped with stokes and murdoch can't see it being any different after 2024

richmond - as hardwick himself acknowledged - are incredibly ill-disciplined at and around the contest and their backline is making old-fashioned holding and defensive spoiling errors which result in fairly obvious free kicks being given

If Draco was on our side we’d all love him Exciting forward with an arrogance about him

too many handballs and 1-2 'back to me' touches that have had little effect on the play i really like ellen but he needs to power out of stoppages and / or clear congestion with his handballs like clayton

who cares about the brownlow? it's voted on by the umpires!

knee to the side of the head

nah, it's down in tassie - the hawks are the 'hosts'

hawks' ability to hit the 45 is really good

very sad for mccartin

100% this i'm more than happy for clubs to think they can chip around / through us as a lot of the time they can't, we force the turnover, then we're off

we are melbourne - we invented the game everyone else is irrelevant

absolutely no way a player should make their 'debut' as a sub hate that when other clubs do it and wouldn't want to see us do it either

6: oliver 5: gawn 4: langdon 3: petty 2: may 1: bowey

taj woewodin incredible guts to take that hit

we've locked em to push wide and long to contests in the same way our afl side does when it works, our system is brilliant and clearly well-drilled by the footy dept and implemented by players across all levels

fabulous tackle laurie

ryan koo - one of our future nga selections, i think? - put his body on the line and copped the hit

another gift goal from a backline fumble

jvr to amz to goal - very nice

that bounce was hilarious - straight thru tomlinson 6.3.39 to 3.0.18 zero defensive pressure from our front half

et tu, brutus? 20 year old bunny ears from tandy are a godsend that or an illegal stream in 4k...

i personally would've gone with tommy mac over weed simply cos i 'trust' him more, but if you look at the numbers, they're remarkably similar except for contested marks (where weed is averaging 2 a game, and plugger under 1), weed is taking double the i50 marks, weed is nearly 1 more i50 entry per game higher, but his 1%ers are way down compared to tom - which is probably why i favoured him as his 'effort' seems much higher i dunno...like always since late 2020 i'm basically backing on the coaching dept to have pulled the right rein
