Weed you bewdy

Oliver thrown well after the ball - no [censored] free!! GGGRRRR

Great strength Petty -> Melk - Kozzie great goal

182 vs 189 cm - height mismatch

Frittata high in fort of goal - of course no free

FMD freebie goal to Norton (probably was there, this time)

How wa the Jordan injury not a low contact free?

Kicking ourselves out of it already

Because it is VFL not AFL?

Maybe she is a fan of USA VP Kamala Harris, who cackles and laughs when speaking on such frivolous topics as the Afghanistan debacle, the porous southern border, the Ukraine invasion and school shootings.

Sam is playing for OUR team tomorrow night and I wish him well. GO SAM.

That is a magnificent contribution to the thread. Weed is playing for Melbourne tomorrow night and he deserves the support of all true fans.

Not if the punch pushes it froward - yes if touched on the way through.

Bolton goes OK doesn't he?

To me that looked like a genuine player down gathering ball taken high. Kicking for goal, both teams, very ordinary, especially indoors with zero wind. As an aside the commentary is of its usual horrible standard. And how feral are the Tiger fans?

Surely the determining factor should simply be between: - player down to collect the ball and taken high - high tackle - player with the ball already, sees tackle coming and ducks - holding the ball

Of course it would be great to keep him, but he wants opportunity. He is behind Kozzie and Spurge, and competing with Chandler. Big question is who / what we can get for him from the Druggies. Are they looking to offload anyone surplus, hopefully a tall?

DD - if you feel Petty is a better forward than defender, then we have a superstar forward on our list. Time will tell I guess. OK then .... even though it would create confusion, can we have A Brayshaw instead?

And imagine how it would change if they decided to crack down on throwing.

If Gill and his henchmen at HQ haven't learned from the dog's dinner aka VFL that byes are soul and competition destroying then let them go ahead and introduce a 19th money source team and see the fans desert AFL in even greater numbers than they have already. NB BYES are garbage, and make the "draw" even more unfair than it is now.

Does anyone know the nature of Lever’s shoulder injury? AC subluxation should be manageable, but a full AC dislocation may not be. Presumably not a shoulder dislocation. And anything specific re BBB? All it says is “knee” which covers a full range from plays, 1week, all through to bye bye BBB. Joel Smithseems to have accelerated towards being able to take the field, hopefully not to sustain yet another injury. Could be handy as a defender or a forward, or even medical sub.

Cats always make finals given their quaintly shaped home ground where very few opposition fans can attend. But what is their record at the G this year? Or any year and at any normal shaped and sized ground for that matter

58 - a fit Joel (I know a very unknown, sadly) would add a lot of versatility as a forward or a defender, despite his limitations. With BBB's future now looking rather uncertain, we need some height up forward, so it may be it is time for the Weed to make his final case again. Whilst I have been hoping that JVR may get a gig sooner rather than later, throwing him in without an experienced forward partner may be too much to ask: or, he could of course stand up and announce his presence.

The Petty option seems a reasonable option, but Howes after missing so much footy is way out of left field. JVR would seem way ahead in the pecking order. Exactly my thoughts - there are several parts to the thumb, some involved directly in hand balling, and others not. Anyway it is a Bulldogs game so surely in the interests of equity he should be allowed to just throw it.

"The custodians can't just stand idly by and only concentrate on the money and the revenues.." Maybe this is exactly what they are thinking about now .... retrospective law suits and payouts because they have failed in their duty of care.
