monoccular

Couldn’t agree more, again. Hypocritical hand wringing and talk of the head being sacrosanct when deliberate head hits go unpenalised week after week should leave the AFL vulnerable. Accidental head knocks on the other hand are far more a grey area. Maybe they should consider what has been one of my hobby horses over the years, penalizing players who recklessly lead with their head into another player or a pack. Currently they are more likely to be awarded a free for high contact, even though they instigated it. Some poor bugger one day will be made to feel eternal guilt when one of these incidents results in paralysis. It must be stamped out at its source. (Gil or his successor will go on about how the head and neck should be protected whilst not doing something proactive to reduce the risk.)

If it means that the umpires, the MRO and the tribunal start to look after Max’s head, then bring it in.

And both have absolutely zero accountability or ability to get a refund or change in ticketing. Really? Yesterday all I could get was high up in level 4.

...and Ox and Kozzi and Jurrah 😮

Which really made him all the more disappointing

Maybe Disco tactical sub?

#31 could be a smokey for the Coleman if he recovers early from this "misery mystery foot injury".

I would hope that they would not take any risks with any of those three playing before they have recovered.

Red and blue flag sounds just right

MFCSS says that is the indicator that he has already gone 😮😮😮😮😱😱😱😱

Agree that BBB is on his last leg, but Tommy has a lot left to offer provided (as it seems so far 🤞) his foot has fully recovered. I do think that JVR is an excellent prospect as a KPF but relying on “resting” ruck men as FFs may be stretching optimism a bit far. That said few would have thought that ruckman Paul Salmon would end up as a top FF. If one of the rookie ruckmen come on in a couple of years it is not beyond belief that Max could spend a year or two at FF in his twilight years.

Interesting opinion, to which you are surely entitled. Max and Brundy for starters are way ahead of him.

I am sure they know what they are doing - what they are doing is making a squillion from a concert in full knowledge that they will make a lot more in a couple of weeks regardless of the surface and risks to participants.

You have just answered your own question. So many thing they do just don’t make sense ( but they do make dollars ).

And of course once the thyroid is optimized he will then need to play catch up general fitness wise and match hardened via Casey.

Maybe, but the fuchsias would be going too far back in history

More than likely BBB will be “managed” quite a few times during the H&A season, giving Josh and / or JVR an opening if they can put in consistent performances at VFL. They both need to show that they are up and ready to go, and once in they need to give their all to retain their spot. Competition is good for all involved.

Sadly for poor Joel, he seems rather to have become the most likely subbed out not in 😢

Lets hope he doesn't encounter any of pickett fence's slithering 🐍 friends down there - the place is crawling with them

the MRO cannot lose what it has never had, credibility

Just shows that raw stats mean bugger all. ...and don't forget that he is several years junior to those mentioned. An exciting prospect. (stick neck out - a prospective f/s Brownlow winner ??) 😀 Maybe it was Brundy's actions that poured the bucket.

Maybe even one minute before ¾ time - then BANG BANG BANG and the rest is history.

I couldn’t help myself but ended up repeatedly calling BG6 “Brundy” 🙄

I know CP5 has been called a bull many times, but yesterday was absolutely incredible So strong, so much poise and so much time Bowser just oozes class and talent …. his coolness under pressure belies his tender years.

I would stick my neck out and say McVee for Harmes, and maybe sub Disco
