It was the knee jerk reaction to Freo resting 11 players for their final game before finals.

Fixed

Jack Darling Bwah ha ha. He is built like Tarzan plays like Jane.. Need I remind you of his GF pearler....

Disgusting. The AFL have a tin ear with this sort of stuff. The public will take out their vengeance and I feel sorry for the recipient who will have perhaps his greatest momengt tarnished.

Downside? We are 3 wins and 5 losses at the MCG We have won every interstate game this year. The only club to have done so.

He's just finished licking Jetta's boots clean after the weekend.

Agree with this. Also Trac doesn't need anyone pumping up his tyres. Actually a pretty selfless player and would be high on the stats for goal assists.. Edit: just checked and he is equal 8th with 14 for the year. Robbie Gray is leading at 25. Oliver is also equal 8th

Two good ins for the Crows. Thompson did nothing last week in his first game this year

Where do ppl find the time to do this stuff! Its great BTW

Each to his own. Happy with my comment.

Stretch had a pretty good first half but I thought faded. I am no fan of Kent and thought he played poorly.

Both teams that had the week off last year lost the prelims. The difference was, for the first time, the fact there was a bye after round 23. So GWS and Geelong effectively had 1 game in a month. It has seen little comment and overall the AFL would be thrilled that everyone in the 8 now has a chance of winning the flag. The advantage of finishing in the top 4 has been reduced to home ground and the extra week off. Although there is only 1 year of 'evidence' it would seem that earning the double chance and having a further week off is detrimental to the physical readiness a team needs for finals.

Kent was embarrassing. Has a way too high opinion of his abilities.

Partly guessing but deduced from an interview with his Dad.

Gus is the opposite. He is desperately keen to get back on the park

Isn't Frost out of contract at the end of the year?

I think you might get a 14 day free trial signing up for the Afl app....

The Jetta contact with Thomas was a legitimate attempt to go for the ball. Besides Thomas won the ball and handballed it to Simpson. Simpson initiated contact with Jetta. Nothing to complain about there.

There is no rule that I have ever seen that says a player has 7 seconds to kick after a mark or free kick. Is there any other game in the world where the rules are so unknown or where they get changed on a whim by the ruling body? And without telling anyone?

Well that is the first I have seen of that. I have read the 2017 Rules of the Game and there is no mention of it. I predict this will be a dog's breakfast. More subjectiveness about whether a player is running the clock down. I am surprised then that the blonde git (no 22) didn't call play on from 10m away. With the 2nd bolded bit the umps always call time on if the player puts the ball on hte ground. In fact this is the smart thing to do if you are 8pts down with 40 secs on the clock and shooting for goal. Immediately put the ball on the ground. If the goal is scored the clock stops and you have a go at getting a centre clearance and another goal.

Is that actually a rule?

I don't believe that is true. Can you point to the rule that says that is the case?

Jets in the AFL team of the week and.. The fans' pick NICK RIEWOLDT (St Kilda): Slotted three goals and shut out Richmond backman Alex Rance to edge Demon Tom McDonald with 57 per cent of the Twitter fan vote.

Commentators agree with me. Just sayin...
