Why is Howe playing forward? I thought he was a defender

MCG/AFL should just tell them to get stuffed. It would be good to have it on the screens pre game but trying to dictate to them is ridiculous

Seriously what a bunch of wankers. What does it matter if the game continues on screen or not 🙄

Why?

You don't say!

If we beat them they'll be back to struggling to hang on to make the 8. Do it Demons, for all the AFL.

Partner with Reach - Jim Stynes Centre - targeted at underprivileged kids/youth mental health. It's sitting right there.

It would be sweet to knock them off the perch though (on the way to a flag).

That's a fair enough query but at least he would stop kicking around corners 🤣

Ben Cousins was King of Perth too, not necessarily a great thing for an 18yo kid.

McKay should be shifted to defence, would be a solid backline with him and Weitering covering the key posts.

Exactly, North wants to play us in Tassie because we draw stuff all at Docklands (did we even crack 15k against them last year?)

Nah, that won't be a conflict of interest at all

I mentioned it yesterday but not to blame Sparrow - he's one of my faves! It was more frustration that it occurred after a relatively straightforward skill error. But not vitriol at all so I hope no-one took it that way.

If it's 5-6 weeks some unlucky bugger is gonna have to make way and miss out on a premiership

First quarter and a bit - lazy, half arsed efforts by the whole team bar maybe one or two. Was extremely frustrating and North were playing with genuine intent. After that we pulled out fingers out, for the game on our terms and probably should've ended up with a 50 point win but for some inaccurate/wasteful ball use. Overall it was a good game, tough contest early but we won our easily in the end through hard work, class and maturity. But this game is tainted because of the injury to Petty, how bloody frustrating after the form he had shown last week and today - he was leading, marking and kicking well, everything you want from a key forward. Bloody annoying, let's hope he can get back this year but if not he and JVR will be a formidable duo up forward for the next 7-10 years.

Why is it pointless? It's true. We were streaming downfield and then a regulation chip pass doesn't hit it's target, next thing we lose our key forward. I'm not blaming Sparrow but it's bloody frustrating after what was a frustrating first half with players going half arsed.

Injured because of a terrible kick inside 50 that should've hit him on the chest 🤬

One of our schedule requests should be to not play at [censored] grounds - Tas, Geelong, Ballarat, Cairns [censored] them all off

JVR has been great competing in the ruck, his leap puts him in every contest

How can they argue a "mistake" when Jones was subbed out with migraine but cleared of concussion? Is migraine not a symptom of conussion? What is in the SCAT5 test and what were Jones's results that led the doctor to think he had passed the test and was not concussed despite the migraine? These are the questions any journo with even a high school education would be asking.

Not a truer word spoken. It's a farce the way the AFL is governed and the way the media let's them get away with it.

I think they've traded out this year's draft picks so would have to be 2024 draft picks.
