monoccular

Even then, it looked as if most of the damage was done when his head hit the ground.

OMG - Norm's curse again? 1, 2, and 3 ruck options all NQR. Spargo to ruck this week?

....another serial offender let off repeatedly, like Lynch, Hawkins, Burgoyne

I am 100% sure that the next time a Demon does anything like that it will be a suspension. Didn't Hawkins get off yet again just a few weeks ago? And didn't Cuddington get off a few more times after that? Did he have the goat photos of Christian? Exactly - Burgiyne's two slam tackles were far more aggressive than ANB - the concussion there was opurely accidental. The ridiculous push and shove before the bounce would stop very quickly if frees were given (though I know which one would be picked out in a MFC game).

Too true - any wonder some may suggest that the MRP and the AFL are pits of corruption.

But the filf fans didn't know what a boulevard is. Street is much easier for them to say and even try to spell. fully human? Not even partially on that forum.

And as I remember much the same applies to Hawkins.

On the performance vs Colonwood IMO he should stay in and TMcD miss out. Tom’s best is / was better than Preuss’ best but that is not right now. As I mentioned in another thread, if Tom’s problem is something that would it could well recover with a long lay off, with a good chance of returning to his 2018 output, then stop and get in with it now. And of course if MG11 ain’t anything better than 99.9% recovered then leave things as they are.

Put him on ice now and work on getting his foot and body back into the super athlete he was in 2018.

Waiting for Christian to dream up a new suspendable offence “attacking the ball with reckless aggression” - - 6 weeks. ?

Maybe - but all those who called for young Jackson to be "managed" last week maybe they are managing Rivers.

And the Adelaide game has shown us that whacking someone incessantly behind the play is ok!

Gawn was Gawn already. Do you mean Jackson our, Preuss in? Preuss’ big opportunity to apply physical pressure Gradp the opportunity big fella

Ain’t hindsight great?

Remind me - what he his injury been? If ever he was needed, this is it. Why else was he recruited? Do or die Braydon.

FFS leave Weed where he does his best work. IF they ruck Weed after it becoming bleedingly obvious that it is not his role then they have lost me for all time.

Some sort of breakthrough news on 7 Jackson may be our for the year ? FMD, FMY, FML

Jackson, particularly, around the ground vs Grundy could be a fascinating contest.

YES, we certainly need to make far more efficient use of Max's dominance but to say we are a better team without him is a huge stretch of the imagination. Presumably rhetorical questions to stimulate this discussion. IMO if we used his dominance even 50% better we would be near unbeatable. That is a challenge for Max, the midfielders both inside and outside, and the coaching panel. Hopefully even without him our midfield will have gained confidence and belief after the most recent game (whatever day that was?). JV7 is still a big asset but needs (like many) to learn a second thing to his bow - a pressure half forward could be a great asset.

Any comments from Dive Bomber Lloyd? Which is a welcome change. Now to beat some top sides.

Didn't get to see the game. Especially interested in opinion from those who did on Jackson, McDonald, Spargc.

Hypocrite Gillon and Shocking talk of “stamping out interference off the ball” yet they tolerate this crap. So sick of AFL HQ hypocrisy.

Remind me - what has happened to Petty?

It was definitely there - hip to neck - but he did make the most of it.

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.
