Dr. Gonzo

It is the afls fault for leaving it in club doctors hands. They should have independent AFL appointed doctors at each game like in the NFL and NRL but I guess the AFL is too tight-fisted.

This guy should've stuck to his guns, wimped out at the first sign of trouble 🤣

I love and appreciate Max Gawn. Big Jim Stynes new what he was talking about when he predicted this guy would go on to great things.

And August 2000 😉

I think a lot of his good stuff goes under the radar as its a lot of running off the ball, pressure work, in close contested work whereas his bad stuff is glaring so it sticks out ie turnovers. He had a couple of turnovers early in the game which would have set most people's view for the rest of the game.

And they've been watching Jack Riewoldt for 15 years!

Saw one getting dragged out of AFL members by two cops, another screaming at the umps during the whole last quarter and his kid begging him to shut up - like I said earlier it was glorious ❤️💙

Harry "Neitz" Petty

Up the [censored] Demons that was glorious

Not if he doesn't get his hands on it

Because he wins the footy, pressures the opposition and is a decent kick going inside 50. Can you explain why he shouldn't be?

Not really with the 3 sitters we missed in the first. Sib out Harmes for Smith at halftime

See, this is the kind of negligence that will lead to payouts. It's not about suspending someone who accidentally bumps someone high when competing for the footy (Hunter on Rozee for example) it's about following the correct protocols that have been put in place. It shouldn't even be in the clubs hands, the AFL should have an independent medic on hand at each game to do the assessment.

They did in 2021. Everything fell into place for us in the final few rounds. Maybe a bit of history repeating 🤞

Yes but ever you say about Essendon, they haven't been dull. They've provided loads of entertainment over the last decade just not for their own supporters.

Let's hope the round of upsets continues tonight but comes to a grinding halt tomorrow

Just like the Suns, Adelaide winning tonight would help us at both ends of the ladder. Go Crom!

And directly in front of the grog squad 🤮

The thing with Collingwood is they are perennial choke artists. They can do what they want in h&a but they still need to overcome the Colliwobbles in September.

They also have the 7th best percentage, only 0.2% worse than the team in 2nd. So they are a plucky young side. And we DID beat them...

The way we are playing right now? We beat the Lions a week ago. We beat the Pies a month ago. What are you on about?

Understatement!!

Crows picked through our zone with ease at times and seemed to match us in the contest (particularly centre contests) although I haven't seen the stats. They're a decent side and have Burgess who would be priming them for this time if year so no surprise they came home strong. Don't forget the Pies only just got past them, twice. Having said that if it wasn't for Rankine we probably would have put them away before half time. I thought JJ needed to be better, it doesn't feel like he's really grabbed the opportunity having Oliver out has been. He's been ok without being outstanding. When Oliver returns I think JJ is first dropped. Woewodin has been ok for a first year player but I don't think he'll stay in the seniors much longer either. Hibberd should return nd help out backline with some leg speed.

67k+ is a supreme effort considering where we were a decade ago.

It will I agree, and it just further dilutes the product. More doesn't mean better.
