monoccular

Stigga - I guess according to the original poster that makes him fragile 🙄 The curse of Naarm Smith returns.

Thanks for the history lesson Eagles have done at least 4 incorrect disposals / throws not penalised. And why do the umpires try to coach? If thee is a block, penalise it and the message will get through.

One question about the two jurisdictions. IF he were to get 6 weeks would that be for 6 VFL Swans matches - given their recurring bloody byes that could well be 8 AFL matches? When Wojinski (?spelling) broke JV7’s jaw in VFL he and Geelong seemed to weasel one week or more of his suspension due to the AFL team having a bye or maybe vice versa.

Alistair Clarkson?

Only if say the western suburban team that plays some games at Ballarat were to relocate. Could still be called Goldfield Western Bulldogs And as for a 20th team 😮🤗😡 further diluting the talent pool 😡😱

Maybe Hunter is considering a career change 🙄🤔

“If you go down to the woods today you’re sure of a big surprise ….” Are you suggesting a Teddy Bears’ picnic?

What do we really know about him and his goals? Does he actually want to play AFL?

Clarry gets pinged a microsecond after being tackled even if he gets a handball away. CFC (both of them) get an eternity, then throw it or drop it - play on. MFCSS kicking in hard.

I heard a rumour that Langdon was staying home awaiting childbirth (not him, his partner)??? I would far prefer 2021 hindsight

“How outrageous asking the Cats to play on an oval shaped oval 2 of the last 3 weeks, all whilst this mystery illness* runs through the club. We clearly need the state government to fund a MCG shaped and sized oval close to KP for us to train on otherwise it just isn’t fair” *aka old age.

Not strictly on topic, but the score review again tonight showed what tight asses run the AFL - one look through an opaque goal post "not over the line" when other views probably show it was over. It doesn't worry me one bit that GC$ got an extra 5 points over Geelong, but it could be really important in a close game. I have no doubt that Gil and Dill's bonuses could easily cover the cost of proper technology.

... and Geelong as well. Knowing AFL however it will probably be us off a 5 day break 😠

Actually it is GW$ - one can only hope for four in a row. They have had both Norf and Hawf already, boosting their % and temporary top spot

Massive difference is that KP is exclusive training and home ground for Geelong. MCG is shared by 4+ clubs and is used several times each weekend, as well as test and other forms of cricket

Maybe it wound have been 20-0 had he not had that chat. 😮

... but it is totally counterintuitive, and when the kicker isn't pulled into the correct line immediately, it should be play on. The umpires too often fail to call play on when it clearly is. They either seem to forget to, or maybe don't even think of it. LDvC - further to the boundary throw ins that all too often result in more packs and ball ups, if the boundary umpire were to throw it in from 5 or 10 meters inside the boundary line the ball should be cleared one way or the other much more quickly. (Was this trialed in preseason some time ago?)

Now that he is actually going to be part of the team, how about using his real name, McAdam not McAdams, He is not a descendent of Frank Bluey Adams #6 OMG it had better not be that close a finish. 😮

Just one point of correction - there is no such thing as Government money. It is taxpayers’ money.

Does anyone actually know if Fullerton is fit to play this week? Conflicting reports re illness vs injury. If he really is fit I suspect out of necessity, hope rather than expectation, he will get a MFC debut.

Surely you aren’t suggesting our Premiership captain doesn’t even travel to Perth. I was going to say Tomo might not understand our forward structures, but … 🤔

I would say gamesmanship rather than sportsmanship.

Definitely a danger game imo.

Maybe, maybe not. But I agree it seemed a weird decision to play him round zero. Even though “it is only WCE” the loss again of two big forwards in one week throws us a challenge.

I guess they will take at least 26 to Perth so Casey will be even more depleted than usual. Am I reading far too much into this - Verrall pats on back from head coach, and the next in line KFW training not at St Bede’s. Is Verrall set to debut?
