NON-MFC: Round 2, 2022
Geelong just look so slow, as in their finals of 2021. And pretty undisciplined as well.

NON-MFC: Round 2, 2022
Several Geelong platers have "clearly shown displeasure" when penalised but no 50s like in our practice game v Carlton. Even handedness or softening in interpretation?

So Emperor McGowan hasn't banned Covid out of existence over there in the Hermit Kingdom? 😱

TEAMS: Rd 02 vs Gold Coast
We need to focus on beating whomever they send out against us - celebrating outs is often counterproductive

NON-MFC: Round 2, 2022
I know of a doc who hit the kerb falling from his bike whose helmet split open but who only had a mild headache. He would almost certainly had a severe head injury, quite possibly death. I certainly wouldn’t cycle without one. No guarantees but it helps.

How important is luck in influencing a result?
Good preparation to take full advantage of the “lucky moment” is vital, as is mental preparation to put the “bad luck moment” behind you and move on. I believe it was Jack Nicklaus who once said “the more I practice the luckier I get”.

2022 Match Review Panel
Much as I dislike Robinson, he was hung out to dry …… basically he stood still, braced and was head butted. I see to recall something similar happening to May a few years ago. Bizarre decision.

2022 Match Review Panel
Draper should have got 1 week. - "WE WILL NOT TOLERATE PUNCHING - NOT A GOOD LOOK FOR THE GAME" Rioli should have 2 weeks. - "WE WILL PROTECT THE HEAD. IF YOU JUMP OFF THE GROUND WE WILL NOT TOLERATE IT" Mitch Robinson should have been cleared. "???" The Sloane one, I'm comfortable with a fine I think. "FACE AND EYES WILL BE PROTECTED" What a horrible way to start the year for the AFL and tribunal. - GREAT SUMMATION OF THE HYPOCRISY OF THE AFL / MRP / TRIBUNAL

CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Gold Coast
well it is one or other of those options

2022 Match Review Panel
Hawkins regularly recklessly clobbers opponents with forearm or elbow. Is every time an accident?

Don't they realise that Riewoldt took the mark; didn't spoil it.

2022 Injury List
Lots of ifs - Tomo going well AND TM struggling AND Weed not up to it. Mmmm, if all the ifs line up, maybe. Not highly likely though.

NON-MFC: Round 1, 2022
Just watched the Kayo Mini WCE v GC$. Just emphasised the totally feral nature of the WCE "crowd" (a mere handful for season's opener at their home ground) - booing absolutely every goal by GC$ however achieved.

…. and to EssUndone when they fielded a make up team 😡🤮

NON-MFC: Round 1, 2022
But does that beat “Kozzie buzzing around like a mozzie”? Truly cringeworthy. 🤮

NON-MFC: Round 1, 2022
GC$ over WCE could give it a push. Inane comments and a truly grating voice. Can anyone cite any positives?

NON-MFC: Round 1, 2022
This is a real war of attrition - Port running out of players, but Hinkley is looking totally lost.

NON-MFC: Round 1, 2022
This is quite a different contest now.

Our next defender
Is there something that you know that the rest of us don’t?

CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Gold Coast
Others have asked, too - is there any Casey match this weekend?

2022 Free Kick Differential
You are surely kidding - Langdon took the ball just inside the boundary and was over in the next stride. Apparently should have not even tried to get the ball 😮😱🤔

NON-MFC: Round 1, 2022
Poor Joe Daniher has just confirmed that he is THE dumbest footballer in the competition. Hand balling after the siren when he marked straight in front.

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs
Maybe double history this year? BBB / Fritsch shared Coleman Tracc / Clarrie shared Brownlow 🤗❤️💙

PowerPepper spins 720 degrees, with prior opportunity - play on. WTH?

NON-MFC: Round 1, 2022
Why isn’t Cameron under more scrutiny? Probably something to do with the “free press” and AFL media licensing.
