monoccular

very selective about who get thrown under the bus and who gets an armchair ride. Serial offenders like Lynch Ryan Hawking always find a way out. No namers always get screwed. if that ain’t corruption, what is it?

I like the set shot routine even for “gimme” shots from closer in front. Casey watchers - how is his overall set shot accuracy? How are his set shots from 50 or so? On the run? Snaps? Angles? Certainly looks the goods in that limited highlight goal blitz.

Hard as I have tried to erase from my memory, that is reminiscent of I think the suns game last year when young Pickett kicked one of the goals of the year, and the rasp came out with something like “Kozzie buzzing around like a mozzie” which made me 🤮

One thing is clear cut: player 1 is Hawkins, player 2 is some unknown dude playing off the medisub bench (at least as far as the MRO thinks any way).

Whilst not in any way excusing Majak for this indiscretion, I think we should congratulate him for at least having the mental strength in putting it aside in yesterday's VFL game and playing what sounds by all reports to be a very solid performance, against his ex teammates.

Very different scenario - Frawley wanted to move from a basket case to a flag favourite: Jackson to WCE would be exact opposite.

Of course it does matter, because it is wrong. As stated by others, unless your name is Hawkins, or <insert other big name player> vs <unknown novice>!

McGovern not only waving his arms but verbally berating the umpire tonight for several seconds going unpenalised shows this “rule” up for the absolute farce that it is. Did the umpire not know of the rule through incompetence, is he so visually and audibly impaired that he didn’t notice or was he just to gutless to hand Melbourne a goal in front or a feral WCE crowd? Looking forward to the AFL explanation 🙄

Absolutely not misogyny - love Daisy Pearce's comments (and not just partisan because of her MFC connection). Underwood is just hard on the ear and her comments are inane at best. - hate Derwaynnne and BT who as far as I am aware are both male XY

Yep - that bad

Thank Barassi for our current depth. ?????

Couldn't watch the whole game and only heard the commentary in the last quarter - usually I synch with radio but couldn't tonight but will again whenever I can. Honestly would even prefer BT or (gulp) Derwyyyne.

Is Salem that close to ready? IF he is then yes.

Harmes looks hamstrung - Bedford or Dunstan, or perhaps even a debut for Laurie? And undoubtedly the MRO will suspend no-name player Chandler (and let Ryan off) so maybe Bedford back into his specialist position unless he gets a full gig for Harmes.

OMG Underwood just goes on and on about Jackson “coming home”! Like a dog with a bone. And she has only just tweaked that a 74 point margin maybe means something to Demons at Optus!

74 points at Optus 🧐

FMD - in the back against Kozzie. What gutless biased umpiring. Yet they demand respect 😱

She has gone from bad to extremely awful. Her attempts at puns and jokes are cringeworthy

Frittata!! About time. Haven’t seen all the game and heard very little of the commentary but what I have heard is just bloody awful.

Why is that not 50 against Cripps on Brayshaw (other than the obvious gutless Optus umpiring)

So her judgement is as bad as her commentary and her voice 😱

But the thing is we won’t.

How will they explain Ryan’s head high bump as not a head high bump. Obscene.

How in any universe was that not 50 for dissent - the most blatant and persistent that I have seen in years. How will AFL HQ excuse that weak biased home crowd excuse for an umpiring decision?
