Hawkins Rohan and Cameron averaged 2.3 goals per game between them Fritsch McD and BB average 1.9 goals per game. So their (tall) "forward line to die for" managed to score 0.4 goals per game more than Melbourne. I don't see 2.4 points a game as much of a difference

Tim Costello has called for an inquiry into the Lions v West coast game. Where 41 seconds were added to the game and where the Lions made the Top 4 and pushed the Bulldogs into 5th. The suggestion that gambling may have played a role and that the AFL needs to ensure integrity of the game if they are to accept money from bookmakers and gambling companies. Its the 5th time there has been a 'timekeeping error' but none as significant. The AFL as expected has remained silent - lest it hurts its own commercial interests. It would be a foolish person to say that games could not be affected by gambling interests or that umpires are beyond the reach of organised crime syndicates.

You know it

Bulldogs last 12 finals they've won the free kick count. Law of averages has failed

The closest I can recall is when the Crows entered the comp and screams of "crow throw" resonated around the comp. It seemed to explode after that but to my reckoning there was no official rule change?

When did the definition of handball change? Closed fist hitting the ball from a stationary palm

Yes I am confident.

Once more for good measure: Vaccines do not stop you getting or spreading the virus. They minimise harm to the individual.

I'm kinda staggered that someone would read through all of his tripe to compile that list. Theres an hour or so of your life that you aren't going to get back

It seems pretty clear that he is still struggling with back issues. His turning circle and flexibility looked poor. I think the 2 week rest will be a godsend for Tom and the Dees

I don't think thats correct. Has been injured a lot through those 2 yrs.

The Swans were underwhelmed by All Australian Alir Alir...just sayin....

Maynard doesn't excite me. Has quite a few brain fades. I do like his attack on the ball though, He is manic. He's not what we need. We need to add outside run and delivery skills. Someone like Bowie only taller! Laurie could be that person but is only 181cm. Maybe a Lukosias type. You can't have enough class and where we sit we don't want to be adding second rate players. We also need a back up ruckman. And eventually a replacement for McDonald. I am also looking forward to the day that players are clamouring to get to the Dees because they want to play in finals..

Particularly after finally finishing in the top 5 at the B&F, lamenting how it took him so long to get there and then promising to work harder. He just didn't want it. Its not a crime just a waste.

I think he lost weight!

Yes, your point is?

I think even he would struggle to break into this side!

Terrific spokesperson for the players. Quality person.

Context is v important here. TOG, where he played etc.

Every 8 games in his 176 game career, Clearly previous fines and suspensions are no deterrent.

Clearly not. Otherwise Tobes would have been banned for life by now. And missing the Grand Final (if they make it) is sanctimoniously seen as equivalent to 322 home and away games. Which will inevitably lead to appeals for the 3 weeks to be reduced to 2 weeks so that Tobes can play the granny if they make it,

Tom Bugg would have been flogged in a public square.

Disgusting the preferential treatment that 'stars' of the game get

A player is not even allowed to approach an umpire and question them. That is only for the Captain. At least thats how it always was...

Greene's counsel "Toby Greene's representative, Ben Ihle QC, agrees that "it's not a good look for the game … it's a terrible look". But he says the question the Tribunal must consider is: "At the point contact was made, what was going through Toby Greene's mind?" He says the Tribunal can't make a decision based on the look, but what was going through Greene's head." Who GAF what was going through Toby's head. He knocked the umpire full stop. Get in the bin you serial offender.
