monoccular

Tigers still up 28-24 though

I agree that one was absurd, but IF it was used to penalise those cheap jabs and actual punches when the ball is out of play (like those that Max cops regularly) it would be a good thing.

"One of the dumbest rules in footy right now. Whose idea was it to introduce this rubbish!" Wasn't it another of S Hocking's shocking changes?

"Umpiring is so inconsistent" - yes, consistently so. Particularly the holding the ball / incorrect disposal. So confused. And apparently Martin is allowed to dissent without a 50

And of course add in the "who are they playing next week" and he will get off scot free Clear cut ... except for who it is. Chandler would have been giver 4 weeks for that. First was an open hand, but the second was a clenched fist without any doubt. But of course that [censored] Christian will say "insufficient impact" or some other BS excuse.

OMG Swans look all at sea - and Toiges' accuracy certainly helps. Interesting that the maggots are wearing yellow and black 🤔

Bolton caught red handed HTB - not paid . Free against tackler for dissent, but not 50. Is this a new interpretation? Haven't seen this before.

"...Many key forwards have been moved on in less time than Weid has. ..." Which surely means that those in the inner sanctum have more faith / belief in Sam than do so many here.

Just turned on - Nankervis head down into tackler - gets the free. 🤯

He has one of those already 🥱 but two would be great - how about a Norm Smith? (Would be a first for a HBF). Then move him forward for 2023 and run for the Coleman.

Max Smart (Don Adams) 171 cm 😱

The leniency on Ryan still angers me, and I agree that there is absolutely zero consistency when considering potential for serious injury.

Not goat photos, surely. 😱

".....broken v fractured.... the distinction is very important...." Except that these two words mean exactly the same thing. And 6-8 weeks would be a long rest even for the old dear who does this tripping over her dog ..... Dermie played straight away, as did our Jimmy #11, and I am sure many others.

"....close to the bone OD.." tibia??

Great idea but only IF their leading patterns diverged a lot more. Create 3 one on ones and not one three on three which seems to happen more often than not.

ONG what has happened to Freo? 7 goals in the last 7 quarters. Is Ross Lyon back? Two games and % clear on top 😱🤗

I would be thinking just “let’s no risk hm given a big one next week”

"....How do they possibly expect to attract and retain the best umpires if they won't support them?..." Let's think - "..oh, I know, we could make a rule that umpires' decisions must be respected ... add a 50 m penalty, even if they just wave their arms around .... that will surely be enough". How could that possibly not attract more into umpiring? As I said before, pack of overpaid amateurs running the show

What an absolute joke is the AFL - complaining in the one hand that the umpires are not respected, then show them this degree is disrespect themselves by not offering appropriate training facilities. And then of course introduce the absurd disrespect rule that only serves to engender disrespect further What a lack of amateurs - highly paid of course.

I guess they think that forward pressure might not be so necessary v Norf. 🤨 Orv maybe he has been served an ultimatum.

When the grandstands are full, as they would have expected when WCE were a good team, there would be a lot of hot air boos to dry the ground. Now that they are 💩 there are too few booing feral Eagle fans for purpose.

Well maybe these types of player, were they around now, could be a part of beating a zone defence. I have sometime wondered if a “Pagans paddock” - for the youngsters plating Carey one on one inside 50 - could also be an option pushing a zone defence deeper than they would wish.

NO

First and only club to have a player suspended for wrestling - Jakovic in a practice match ?v Colonwood.
