monoccular

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>!

Should he have said difficultgameto ratebutdida goodjobtonight.

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?

Certainly way off the boil since quarter time. 1 goal 4 behinds each. Not at all inspiring.

Underwhelming second quarter.

All our forwards show intense defensive pressure when they don’t have the ball: if Weed doesn’t find this he will not progress. Sadly. He has good skills.

What position is Turner playing (as much as anyone play a position)? Maybe should say rôle. Whose rôle does he “play like”?

Emphasising the utter absurdity of this rule.
