monoccular

Ripper of a contest in Perth. Sydney has good system going forward. Envious.

We already have a Meek - #26

Bloody maggots - Dunderfield was actually holding the ball in yet the Cats got 50 and a goal.

And these atrocious byes is something that we may have to look forward to if Gillon gets his 19th team, in Tasmania.

We have done very well in finals in Perth this decade. 🙄

Hope so but Collingwood, as one would expect, are experts at getting out of jail.

Not until we get a goal kicking coach. Or the Tassie Saints No ….. jokes are humorous North surely go for the Ansett Cup.

did the Saints sign Ratten on way too early?.

But are AFL protocols the same as state protocols? If my memory serves me correctly, Action Jackson debuted very early in his first season as a second ruck / KPF so if JVR is ready no reason not to do the same v

2017 GF?? Maybe stone was meaning the threepeat?

Thanks 🪧 🤺 FMD now Petty!😱 And 🪩 again? Can’t take a trick Clearly the curse was only temporarily exorcised last September, and a full exorcism at the G is needed this September. Nothing less will do.

Like everything, depends on cost and fitting the culture. I very much doubt ifBuddy would be happy playing second fiddle, a specially at Casey, for peanuts.

About half my age - so could I demand $300k?

Surely it depends on "health fitness" vs "match fitness" - the only way to gain the latter is in a match. I like this, but would bring in Hunt in lieu of Rivers, at this stage.

Don’t know that he would really enjoy Hobart. 🙄 “Gives away frees & carries on like a sook when they don't pass the ball to him.” He would really love being a Melbourne forward right now. 😱

Mmmmm? Not footy related anyway as Melbourne and Geelong failed to make finals in 1947. Most likely soft tissue ie skin and muscle healing I would think. The bone itself won't be healed for more than a month.

Should be HTB every time - Selwood, and Minivan would whinge like hell.

.... and some poor guy will be riddled with guilt, and vilification. And of course the AFL HQ will wring their hands and say "how unfortunate, nothing we could do"!

IF and when, poor guy. So many opportunities this year - defence, attack - but never available. Feel so sad for the guy.

Top 8 starting to look pretty settled - not the order but the teams. Saints not quite there, and Dogs look cooked. GC$ just maybe an outside chance to squeeze in especially if they perform like today.

Thanks George. But it is frustrating to watch. Though last September I don’t think many complained.

and very precious. And Gillon wonders why they are not respected.

Umpire #19 has just handed the Dockers the game - ignored a very obvious HTB, then gave a slightly less obvious one to Freo - Saints unsurprisingly exasperated -> 50 meter penalty and goal after the siren. Hard to see the Saints getting back now - they had the momentum and perhaps a chance for a goal themselves before the siren.

Now Saints in an absolute panic - rather like we were in Q3 v Freo.

How in a month of Sundays was that free to Fremantle and not to Jones who was grabbed around the neck? Directly gave a goal to Freo Frees were I think 9 - 4 in Saints favour now 11 - 10 for Freo. Certainly have impacted the game.
