monoccular

OK. Carlton AND Geelong equal worst. Cripps, Dangerfield and Hawkins never ever pinged.

Dissent 50 meters would have ended the game - of course ignored. Carlton are the worst and never get pinged. Anyway, Loman finally nailed one.

Maggots doing their best. Ignored 4 classic HTBs by Carlton, then a 50/50 at best goes to Blues.

Logan Morris - wouldn't want to rely on him to save your life.

OMG - 4 in a row. Lions laying down, or Blues revived by de Koenig?

Have taken it seems

Couldn't or couldn't be bothered to open the banner headline. What is that about a new postcode? 2899 maybe. They may like a few tourist $$ and a footy ground.

Wait for the JT magic. 🤔

… after one of them misstep” on the ludicrous stand rule by one millimetre at half back when they are leading by a few points when the siren blows. “Very generous” 50 meter penalty and another 50 because. Gingivitis rolls his eyes in dissent. Goal.

The dissent rule that has been applied maybe one or twice this season??

… or playing exciting disciplined team oriented footy perhaps?

QD wasn't suggesting that he be the coach.

Naughton should well remember Tom McDonald on "bang, bang, bang" and shepherded Bont's goal.

Ball control, ball movement and strength when tackled - can we aspire to that, please? Certainly more “i” s in Ginnivan than in team.

OMG the Port fans are bloody feral. Will the umpires, and the few Cat fans get out unscathed after that game?

I have only just turned on - am I right in hearing that their best mid, Horne Francis, was on the bench for 5-6 minutes at the start of Q1 and Q2? What sort of coaching decision is that??

I thought that I recognised the “plan”!

Were he a MFC player that would be interpreted, by the footy media, hungry for something to talk about during the ridiculous knee jerk per finals bye week, as "he hates the clubs and is desperate to be traded" ... so they are both looking for a trade out to the same club?? Obviously. 🙄

BBP - as I understand the absurdly named round zero involves the top 8 teams from the previous year, so if that is the case we will miss out. First 3 weeks "soft games" (though never forget our 'percentage builder game v WCE this year 😮) as we will be withiout Kozzie so we will get the top 3 from this year as away games no doubt.

Mr Fence. I get the impression from these, and other posts on other threads, that you don't rate Mr Petty very highly as a forward. But all these "round 1 line up" posts are really meaningless at this stage. Naming "pick 5" in the midfield for round 1 assumes both (a) we use pick 5 on a midfielder AND (b) that midfielder is deemed ready to play midfield round 1.

He may think he is, but he ain’t. 😡

And perhaps we need to be reminded how many years apprenticeship did MG#11, the greatest ruckman of modern times if not ever to get up to AFL standard? I know he had injury issues and I am not expecting Verrell to reach his lofty heights but talls take time

Very creative of you to fit all those terms into one sentence. IF, big IF, the AFL did believe in any concept of fairness, they could never allow Michael Christian to adjudicate anything involving Collingwood, ever. He is so clearly biased, or maybe just plain dumb, or both. Only a disgraceful organization would allow this to continue.

On season 1 of 3 one couldn’t argue against that. Glass ⅔ full or ⅓ empty???

As one of my primary school teachers used to say "res non verba". Tracc has a massive opportunity to show what he is made of and lead us on to another flag. ".... oh, but they were so desperately unlucky to only draw with Essendon. If they won that they would be in the 8", without saying how many close ones they won and how many close ones we lost. Redemption for Tracc would include Brownlow, Premiership, Norm Smith and Coleman. Is he up to it?
