GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs West Coast
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?
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs West Coast
Certainly way off the boil since quarter time. 1 goal 4 behinds each. Not at all inspiring.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs West Coast
Underwhelming second quarter.
-
CASEY: Rd 08 vs North Melbourne
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.

CASEY: Rd 08 vs North Melbourne
What position is Turner playing (as much as anyone play a position)? Maybe should say rôle. Whose rôle does he “play like”?

CASEY: Rd 08 vs North Melbourne
Emphasising the utter absurdity of this rule.

GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs West Coast
Save that for September, like 2021?

GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs West Coast
If we use 6-6-6 to our advantage and bang bang bang <repeat repeatedly> then they won’t get a chance to pack the backline.

GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs West Coast
I still have nightmares of the feeble capitulation to the EssUndone VFL side a few years back. I actually found it hard to take our team seriously for the next 12 months or so. Guys - please don’t let that happen My MFCSS could become terminal.

NON-MFC: Round 9, 2022
Maybe the players are playing for Lord Jimmy, and not Ben, or the club. They just hope he can bring an injection of enthusiasm (or at least an injection of something). 🙄

NON-MFC: Round 9, 2022
Cats defence can be very loose - only saw snippets if the game but they often don’t match up then give a serve to their teammates. Look around with their arms out as if “it wasn’t my man”! And I just loved that in round 23 2021, last mark of the day by some big guy in rednblue

The very, very contentious 50 for Dissent Rule
Good luck in your quest to “ensure a police presence” when they can’t even attend all crime scenes. And maybe you could ask Gill to fund private security? Perhaps transferring some of the token wand wavers from the MCG gate - has anyone ever seen them detect anything at all?

NON-MFC: Round 9, 2022
Came from their academy - before the rules changed to screw us.

Day Grand Final 2022
Scrap Cazaly and play Its a Grand Old Flag over and over Supporters? Who are they? Oh, you surely mean sponsors. Unreleased seperate polling of big business, corporate box owners and polo players had vastly different findings. And frankly WGAF about NRL fans.
-
TEAMS: Rd 09 vs West Coast
You have not misread this mish mash dogs dinner of a competition with an odd number of teams, multiple byes, long interstate trips for part time players who also have real jobs, little regard for integrating VFL and AFL schedules. In other words a complete mess. Mitch Brown presumably is a round about insurance for Max (releases TMCD as ruck back up).

Leon Cameron Steps Down
Hands off Ooooze

Top 10 players from other clubs to help our list
I am sure they would try to offer AB for LJ but I am also sure that that would not get the deal done.

Bobby Hill
".....Taranto in particular had terrible body language and looked incredibly lazy and disinterested" Can't help myself. He was there as an employee of GW$, so is therefore not disinterested even if uninterested.

Lumumba sues AFL and Filth
Just thinking, a question for any lawyers here - are "secret recordings" legal and / or an invasion of privacy?
-
Steven May on On The Couch
One of the most enjoyable interviews that I can remember. Articulate, modest, honest. What an amazing get for our club - absolute kudos to our list managers / recruiters. ❤️💙 ❤️💙 ❤️💙

Where does Gus play when Salem returns?
So, which of May, Lever and Petty is witch? ? https://maywitch.bandcamp.com/album/may-witch

Lumumba sues AFL and Filth
Personal view : I think Buckley was right in asking just what outcome is HL looking for? If he could state that then everyone involved could progress towards that outcome and then move on, hopefully all happy.

2022 Match Review Panel
I agree the Oliver hit was minor but the Langdon tunneling was extremely dangerous and totally unnecessary. What is “charging” these days? Is it still on the books? 2 metre Peter did one this week and I think Cox 🕶 another a few weeks back - all ignored. All should, at very least, have been a 50 (but I guess waving arms is a far greater offence 🙄)

What They Are Saying in Lathlain
Hopefully the thousands of “neutrals” in Perth who embraced us last September will turn out again, and outnumber the Eagles fans.

JAKE BOWEY APPRECIATION THREAD.
Do you really think that the AFL, in their “no agenda” mindset, would not have a Daicos winning this award?
