  1. Hypocrite Gillon and Shocking talk of “stamping out interference off the ball” yet they tolerate this crap. So sick of AFL HQ hypocrisy.
  2. Remind me - what has happened to Petty?
  3. It was definitely there - hip to neck - but he did make the most of it.
  4. As I said earlier, this is absolutely disgraceful corrupt behaviour, but also totally predictable. Both of Burgoyne’s were full body slam tackles; ANB was swung around by the jumper and one arm. But the inept / corrupt AFL can’t see this, or doesn’t want to more likely.
  5. If Preuss is alive and can even trot, as he knows Norf’s game and players strengths and weaknesses why not try him? Moving Weed from FF would be counterproductive. Jackson can take advantage of his youth and run them off their feet after half time.
  6. Nibbler threw a guy down by dragging his jumper. Burgoyne twice body slammed his opponents into the ground. Nibbler’s was trivial by comparison. If he gets any more than Burgoyne then the tribunal is officially corrupt.
  7. Can we have both? ?
  8. In 2018 when he was pivotal in our success, he was more than an old fashioned KPP; mobility for size was a major asset. Unfortunately, probably / possibly due to a foot injury, he has never nearly approached that mobility and his confidence has shattered with it.
  9. That was last year. Does the interest necessarily persist?
  10. Reallly? Remind me, what club does he coach? Who is their president?
  11. Does anyone actually believe that any media folk are really unbiased and fearless, or as the ABC charter says “without bias or agenda”???? Pretty petty on the part of the AFL. No wonder we can’t believe much that we hear or read anymore. No trust. And I haven’t listened to any AFL today - has anyone anywhere had a go at Eddie’s unbelievable (yes, even for him) hypocrisy?
  12. Very very minimal consolation is that EssUndone got beaten by more than we did, with an even more pathetic score. Must be grateful for tiny mercies.
  13. All of our amazing "tactical secrets" will have been let out of the bag. Season now doomed!
  14. What an outrageous deliberate decision. Kicked to a contest and the contest stopped the target player getting to the ball.
  15. An injury plagued Bomber who can’t get on the field - no, thanks.
  16. Jackson IS a runner, plus .........
  17. Maybe he will be a good or very good forward / ruckman / or even a ruckrover Barassi (or Goodes for those not fortunate enough to have seen RDB in action) type And don’t forget that Hogan definitely wanted out, had his head in WA. Got something rather than nothing.
  18. Rather early in his short career to think of a statue ..... and of course the “progressives” think that statues are symbols of white male privilege so these modern iconoclasts would probably pull it down anyway.
  19. Paying overs, to EssUndone, for a lame once good player would be just so Melbournian.
  20. So frustrating to follow this disappointing side Just glad that there are no crowds allowed because I would have been tempted to waste my time going today.
  21. Eddie is on the phone to Dan Andrews for advice on spinning the indefensible.
  22. Since when did equitable appear in the AFL lexicon?? ”which club will lie down and take a last minute cancellation or fixture change without kicking up a fuss? Collingwood? Hawthorn? Essendon, no we owe them some favours? I know who will not give a peep.....”
  23. I checked the scores and found the Blues hanging iron with moments to go, so I turned it on. Watch very little footy this season, but seeing the Bummers stuff up on the death knell despite a pretty strange 50 gave me a rare moment of footy joy. Blues have I believed had a 1 point loss and two 1 point wins in three rounds . Heart stopping for their fans.
  24. Can anyone tell me why what is quite often antisocial media is called social media?
  25. Why does this club continue to have such issues with its medical record keeping. One could almost think it it something sinister. Still, the AFL say it is ok so it must be.
