If Salem is available and fit, you play him. No ifs or buts.

There's five of them isn't there? 😊

Love the way he says we want to learn about what Geelong, Richmond and Collingwood are doing well. To find out how they can "turn things around", he's not going to ask us.

Then why post something that no one would miss? A summary would be nice, comments optional, rather than a link you can't read. I don't subscribe to the Sun on principle.

I'd be saying "fast forward me to 2022"!

I wish people wouldn't post paywalled links.

Despite a premiership and being up to our eyeballs this year, it seems for some that the veil of negativity never really went away. I don't understand why, but I guess most football supporters are by nature pessimistic and can only highlight mistakes.

It's an adductor, unless you're getting kidnapped.

Watts was a good kick for goal.

King got a strike!

Brisbane should change their name to the Giraffes.

Another dangerous tribunal decision that totally flies in the face of the stated aim of reducing concussion.

Man-bun? When was the last time you watched Grundy play?

No extra penalty, but a $5000 cost for the appeal.

Funny, the only Collingwood supporters I know are a doctor, a lawyer, a school principal and an agricultural consultant.

If JVR is still "a few years away", he'll be back to WA for lack of opportunity and we'll waste 2-3 years on him.

Joeboy: Was rarely noticed

They had a lot of shots from close range without much angle. Several came from HTB free kicks close to or in the goal square. It probably says more about our somewhat-panicked defence on the night rather than their goal kicking accuracy.

The Age gave Oliver 8 and DeGoey 8.

I'd prefer one week, so he misses against us but comes back for Collingwood.

I always turn to the Australian Government Style Manual for clarification on matters of writing. In regard to numerals it just says "there can be no absolute rules to cover every possible contingency. In the absence of specific instructions, the decision whether to use figures or words in particular instances must be made by the editor ...". So nothing is "right" or "wrong". It does recommend words for numbers less than 10. Generally numerals are used in scientific, technical or mathematical work, and words are used in prose, descriptive or narrative work. But this isn't exclusive (see editor's choice above). I agree that numerals should never be used to start a sentence. Also, on a totally separate issue, the correct written term is per cent, not percent.

The proof is in the pudding. ❌ The proof of the pudding is in the eating. ✔️

It's a slightly different perspective when you take the differential out of it. Club Free kicks for Club Free kicks against Crows 433 Tigers 436 Blues 424 Swans 422 Lions 419 Kangaroos 420 Bulldogs 409 Saints 420 Swans 409 Crows 412 Magpies 405 Lions 407 Cats 399 Hawks 404 Bombers 394 Suns 402 Hawks 392 Dockers 393 Dockers 390 Power 391 Suns 389 Cats 387 Kangaroos 391 Eagles 387 Giants 378 Magpies 382 Saints 378 Bombers 382 Eagles 376 Giants 373 Tigers 367 Blues 367 Power 364 Demons 359 Demons 361 Bulldogs 324

He brought a good attitude to the team culture. ✔️ He bought in to the team culture. ✔️ He bought a good attitude to the team culture. ❌

You probably couldn't play an AFL match on such a ground, but I was simply replying to the proposition that GMHBA "doesn't conform to AFL standards". It does.
