Rod Grinter Riot Squad

During Casey game they said from ticket sales, they expected 70+

This game last year, I realised we were the real deal. This game this year, I want us to show them they are pretenders, their glory years are over

Positive (am in the NT)

Sydney, Freo, Brisbane and next year the Blues will be in furious competition to finish runners up the next 4 years

Could understand it if they were for two up!

Was just about to turn it on! FWs

Extremely poor of ch7 not to show the pre-game ceremony live

She loves Essendon so much she shouts their name until she gets sick😂😂

They said it was mentioned before the game that he was only going to play a half

After singing the song with an emotional and croaking voice at the end of the game, you hear right at end of the video my son took… “I can sit down now”…

The most hated would be Pies, Eagles, Crows, Bombers, blues, Geelong, Hawks, North and due to recent years diving, the Dogs. Rest a little less hated. Not sure which group the Tasmanian team would sit yet

Each to their own mate. I like the Demons, I [censored] hate everyone else

Melksham grabbed by the ankle, umpire has clear line of vision. Play on. I know it’s a hard job, but the incompetence of AFL and VFL umpires will never cease to amaze me

I have for years called for umpires to operate as a team, match those who read the game similar. I have done sports umpiring and if doing with same umpire you learn their interpretation and umpire same way - it leads to consistency. On the topic of umpiring I still shake my head in disbelief at how badly we adjudicate the advantage rule, why can’t we do what works in other sports, raise an arm for a free, give it 5-10 seconds, see if the advantage is there, if so lower arm, if not blow whistle and give free

The theory of the rule is good in my opinion, it is the wildly inconsistent interpretation that is so infuriating. The Andrew’s one was just appalling. Bit like the in the back on the same player was appalling and if the umpiring department want some respect the umpire should have been publicly dropped, not for a mistake but for a fabricated excuse for ignoring an obvious free kick. I have done umpiring in the past, understand that it’s not an easy gig, but I also don’t think that being consistent in your interpretation and implementation of the rules is difficult. For the life of me, I can’t understand how the AFL and the umpires get it so wrong, so consistently

Three consecutive games where opposition fails to score a goal in the first quarter Wonder if that’s been done before

Some posts a bit over top, remember every team has players down pecking order. Weid copped it before finishing better, but fact is 3 of our goals up to half way through third quarter came after spillages from marking contests that he competed in…. Also delivery ordinary to tall forwards in the second, but our tall forwards copped it…. Go figure. Love this team, they are just amazing

Umpiring is bloody appalling so far

GC in round 2 are the last team to score a first quarter goal against us!

Our defence really is amazing, streets ahead of anything I have seen from us over the last 40years

Post is all that acting from Hogan deserved Why boo a player we happily traded out?

Looks a terrible crowd on the TV

It was 6

Win this weekend and we will have won 12 on the trot for only the second time.
