Really ?? Watts is much maligned. Right now I'd take a Watts in a heart beat. Selfless, knows forward craft , runs all day , leaves nothing out there. Knows where the sticks are. Who's on our list that's a better forward..at the moment ?? This is the type of player we need to look around other clubs and lure.

It was done and dusted 5 secs after May finished whatever it was that he did say. It was said, it was heard...more than likely understood... and that was that.

I wouldn't mind a clone of #4 on the list. Our scoreboards might look a lot better.

Everything but the scoreboard.... might be the epitaph of our season.

Max wouldn't have his diplomats cap on by any chance 😉

What the actual ........

I think youll find he does. That's not to say he doesn't stuff up.. but he's pretty dirty on himself when he does. Just my obs

If that's his only purpose then reason suggests the rest of his time on the ground is a waste. If he's a fwd pinch hitting as a ruck... he's a bust. That's the definition of a list clogger surely.

Just an example of last night's rubbish news‘That’s extraordinary’: Go home AFL, you’re drunkFootball commentators are up in arms over a series of controversial moments during Collingwood’s win over the Demons at the MCG on Monday. https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/thats-extraordinary-go-home-afl-youre-drunk/news-story/1b1b767707f18f9abd2cbcddf302442a

Yes , sets a tone most definitely Last time I looked you're under no compulsion to give the opponent the ball ( if free given )

Nah.... snot'em all 😉

They're a "special" lot those birds. They knock on a door...it opens... Were we to we'd be told to [censored] off. Not that we would anyway.

You know... stats are bull . Champion Data has created a trough of rubbish that many feed on. How someone gets the chocolates in rucking when the opponent wins the outcome.. I.e. the clearance is handed to the opposition never fails to give me a chuckle.

The AFL ain't short of money. That this is floated as any stumbling block to the instigation of full time professional umpiring is bs..a strawman like furphy. The AFL is totally negligent and culpable in its oversight of rules/umpiring.

This will seem petty (npi ) .. look Max is the closest to a living football God I can think of. But actually he's human and humans [censored] up . Tbh.. I'm with May . That couldn't have been any dumber than dog [censored] at that point of the game if you tried . It was a silly lazy kick. Max instead of getting ****ty ... own it. But it was only one of a number of moments that I'm sure a number of players would do differently if given their time over. The greatest culprit(s) .. well we know who they are.

10.11 Yep Fair cop for some points but you do come away wondering... if only 😪

Pretty much summed up JVR at Casey if you ask me. We ve had quite a while to assess Roo and I for one am not particularly convinced. Yes he's only 22. We're not playing finals.Folk just need to take that on board imo. So time for "live" examinations. Let's see what some have, or don't and we can sort the list prior to the EOS circus. Can also start shopping 😉 Go Us

I'm sure if all bets were off in a room the coaches could come up.with a pretty full.book of umpiring '[censored]' That said... the redirect would be the overhandedness of the AFL. It's their fault. The umpiring is compromised but they're the ones blowing the whistle. They too need to rebel. Rules need to be better thought through. Umpiring needs to be full time professional. It's not that bloody hard to sort out

Skills ... who's that on ? I'm asking generally as this is a major concern.

Probably a very sound evaluation

Apropos

But is it. It's a very vexed equation. Ruck outcomes. Max was playing his heart out. I'm sure most were. But outcomes are the litmus...eventually. Max won the duelling... but not so sure he won the day. Wasn't alone. Reality is reality

I understand your view. 👍

The 'review ' tapes should provide distinct 'learnings'

Very good question. I wonder if the players were somewhat amazed to be there ..near the end... and just bottled it ??
