    Can someone please tell the MCG staff to TURN THE PA SYSTEM DOWN.

    CAN'T HERE MYSELF THINK.

    I know it's been this way for several seasons, but seriously it's ridiculous.  Doesn't improve the experience, it makes it worse.

    and not a moment of quiet from the PA do we talk to our mates about the footy. Someone from the AFL has been on an all expenses paid tour of US basketball to study “activation”.

     

    Hate it

    Exactly!

    Humans are not boulders or projectiles, we can use momentum to spin or bodies (e.g. figure skaters).

    That f-ing biomechanics expert was full of BS, and btw I hear the rumour he was brought from the 34th ranked university in the country... No wonder he/she had no clue!! 

    He just wasn't asked the right questions. That's how adversarial hearings work. If your counsel doesn't know (or get) good advice, then the 'tribunal/court' only hears one side's expert

    All too late, but I was surprised that the biomechanical evidence wasn't challenged. 

    Sure, once he had left the ground, his trajectory was ballistic, and he couldn't alter it. But actually, the trajectory of his centre of mass was ballistic. He was perfectly able to reconfigure his body around that centre of mass - he chose to go into a bump configuration. He could have done otherwise. 

    NRL has eliminated the kicker being flattened like Gus was.

    We just don’t have the players in the forward line. Put Petty and Melksham into the team, and it all looks very different. Laurie is not in the same ballpark as Brayshaw. 

    And bring back Burgess - we’re being outrun on transition. 

    Rivers having not such a good game…

    PREGAME: QF vs Collingwood

    My recollection is that when we don't have a third tall, Lever is not as free to play off his man. The oppo play through Lever's man - and this severely affects our intercept game. There were cries for Tomlinson/Disco to come in to fix this problem. 

    I love Hibbo - tough as nails. We now have 3 excellent ball users off half back (Bowey, Salem, McVey), but one less tall compared to 2021. 

    Makes me nervous.

    This is first class analysis of the four finals games.

    Some of the best analysis I've heard - clear, makes sense and well articulated.

    Davis is very impressive. 

    He does the dees game first.

     

    Great interview... the importance of Max, eh. 

    I wonder if they will get stuck into him, as teams have done for a couple of years now. He gets little protection from the umpires - gets niggles and blocks off the ball all time, slightly late hits etc etc. I hope we have a plan to make it clear that we won't stand for that short of [censored].
