monoccular

The FIXEDure is just one more example of the corrupt culture that is the AFL.

How about just concentrating on beating whomever they put out there. Best or second best, we just need to beat them I have only watched the first half so far, but I was appalled b6 the numbers of incorrect disposals the Cheetas got away with and the inconsistency in the interpretation thereof. Hogan officially recorded as 4 goal assists but in the first half at least he contributed in many other ways This even spread has become a real strength

I have only seen the first half on TV. WTF suggesting that Burnie gets KOd for that? NOT high and no consequence though the lying CFC doc after last year will no doubt say that the "victim" was severely concussed, broke his neck and will never play again.

Frankly, who knows this season who will turn up and do what?

Not on scoreboard - but worked hard - further up field!

His feet didn’t move - he leant forward.

CFC MEDICAL REPORT. Severe delayed concussion NEXT WEEK. Daisy BOG

Eddie IS a disgrace

15 to 8 inside 50s but only a nose in front. Definitely need to tidy up I50 usage. And care to avoid too many 50 s

Interesting if he (Weed) was actually being ‘managed’ and not really injured. I still think he adds a lot to the ‘structure’. Is that in the whole comp? Hadn’t appreciated that. So does JKH have any trade value IYO?

Makes me think that the AFL will ensure that Tigers won’t play in China any time soon.

Yes looked a wrong interpretation However, as with last week’s May head contacting umpire, in neither case despite vociferous protestations no 50 was awarded (neither forward needed the 50 I realize) ...l yet I remember several times we had 50 against us for disputing. What is the right call here? An on the subject of umpires, why the hell do they have to yell out especially at a boundary throw in “no holding!”? They should shut up and ping players who do hold. After all they don’t go around yelling “no throwing”, “no high tackles”, or “no deliberate OOB”. Do they just want something to say, or just be part of the commentary?

Was that during a game or after the final siren. Whatever, it is not a good look. Had the maggot just given him a free?

Being the Bummers I will do a variance from my general philosophy of barracking for the lower team in all ‘neutral’ contests and agree - go Cats Do the Crows (like the Bummets) have a pharmacist on their coaching panel?

Casey and training watchers : is Bull Smith big and strong enough to fill in ruck work? Haven’t seen much of him at all.

Ah, 5 Loved watching the Ox, but an even better memory was a much earlier #5 ? kicking a very timely goal in a very big match in our history.

They could follow EssUndone’s lead and take it to Geneva.

Does that include the contents of brown Visy (or similar) bags???

All covered by the new rule 2018:9:HFC to be announced later today which proscribes blocking any Hawthorn player in round 9, if the umpire feels like it.

Simplify it .... only one per team up. (Clue for umpire - one means one; therefore two, or three or four or even more, not being one, is more than one and is not allowed.)

Slowly getting through the replay The first half of second quarter where we seemed to have 90% of time inside 50 only to score behinds, but Suns scored a couple of goals is exactly what can and has cost us games. Scoreboard pressure is absolutely essential if a team gets a run of possession against a better team. We got away with it this time but will not against good teams. Needs finessing.

⬆️⬆️ Great writing by Ernest in his inimitable way

And never forget, a fish rots from the head. And who is the head?? Clarko’s Coffee buddy.

31 for me. And for about the first time since RDB left I am getting excited by a player wearing the number playing with passion and enthusiasm. Can’t off the top of my head recall any in the intervening 53 years. Ray Groom may have been the closest.
