monoccular

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.

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.

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 😡🤮

But does that beat “Kozzie buzzing around like a mozzie”? Truly cringeworthy. 🤮

GC$ over WCE could give it a push. Inane comments and a truly grating voice. Can anyone cite any positives?

This is a real war of attrition - Port running out of players, but Hinkley is looking totally lost.

This is quite a different contest now.

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

Others have asked, too - is there any Casey match this weekend?

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 😮😱🤔

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.

Maybe double history this year? BBB / Fritsch shared Coleman Tracc / Clarrie shared Brownlow 🤗❤️💙

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

Why isn’t Cameron under more scrutiny? Probably something to do with the “free press” and AFL media licensing.

Temazepam? Mixed up the pills. The old legs are just old.

Just re the defence - I admit to not having seen Casey, or training, but is Turner anywhere near filling in Salem's role? (Just asking)

binman - great summation. Standard stats don't tell the true story. Kozzie's pressure off the ball is vital - as it was in his "quiet" GF. Oppositions are scared of him, leading to fumbles and turnovers. Goals are the icing on the cake.

I think most people's beef (and not just MFC fans) with the Footscray differential is the fact that there seems consistently / repeatedly to be different interpretations for them and their opponents within games.

Didn't need to as it turned out. Maybe it was their Grand Final, Eddie?

Saints lost it as much as Colonwood won it. Not much to get excited about either way, IMVHO.

That "deliberate" OOB shows (like in round 23 2021) that umpires have zero understanding of the game. Why would they, and it bounced in an off break 4 or 5 times.

Won't have a coach soon enough if this garbage continues. Ratten would be odds on for first coach to be sacked this year. No resistance at all from the Aints. Still, will over pump the Magpies. Great fixturing for Friday night round 1, Gillon.

Cox mouthing off against umpires - no 50 Double standards, maggots.
