monoccular

It was AI generated - the intelligence, such as it is, is artificial. Agree. I suspect that it was planned to take Petty off maybe mid Q3 - well planned, or very lucky, to have Petty on the ground when the two KPP defenders went down and Hore as the sub. I was amazed to hear the TMc had 100% and BBB 95% TOG. The versatility of our selected team certainly paid dividends today. FFS Petty hardly had a preseason and as above he probably wasn’t excpected to play a full game. Not sure what was his TOG %? as was Stan Alves as I recall 5 goals with a makeshift defence. A great feat. Kudos to all concerned.

Difficult to choose today as it was a very even TEAM effort. 6 Petracca - powerful, positive delivery forward, handy goal 5 Oliver - broke a very heavy tag and his disposal and option taking greatly improved 4 Max - leadership and persistence. 3 Viney - always there when the chips are down 2 Kozzie - actually held his marks and great options 1 Salem - rekaibke and hard to beat Apologies multiple including (though not exhaustive) Tom McD, Frittata, ANB, Sparrow, McVee, Billings et al

Certainly the opportunity to make or break him. Which will it be? Over to you Tommo. IF he takes on all three and wins, then it would be one hell of an achievement Tomlinson was after all the preferred third tall defender early 2021 until he did his ACL.

Bayley Fritsch,Kade Chandler, and Traccas they snapped. OMG - MFCSS kicked straight in. All three actually snapped 😱😱 Wasn’t in the injury report.

Maybe, but seriously if one was after a decent fit-for-purpose camera system crypto would not be my first choice. So maybe counterintuitive . Maybe though some would find their moment of fame worthwhile. The only way jail time could actually prevent it would be preemptive jail as in Minority Report. Or, just jail all bogans?

Crows’ defence looking very slow and disorganized.

They just need to hope for another “prosecutor” who has zero interest in a succesful prosecution. The review system needs a complete review.

Best news from those reports thanks WCW and Demonland was that Petty appeared to have moved, run and kicked without problems. As has been suggested maybe he will be the sub and if not needed earlier replaces BBB in Q3

No. No. Not so. However most agreed that Spargo wasn’t ready. Many feel the same re Petty.

One needs to have culture to have a culture problem. As long as that little stager has a bad day Saturday. 3066

0-3 How sweet it is. Now the question is are the Saints good or the Pies really that bad?

Why to Collingwood get an away game at their 'home' ground when Saints' home is Docklands??

Not so sure - the Saints could well cough it up Looks highly possible And I thought Ross Lyon was the master of locking games down

I just hope that this sent a repeat of the Spargo fiasco - hopefully the FD will have had "learnings" from that. Maybe Sicily will give it just a gentle kick - that is OK now it seems.

Question is, given that debuting as a sub isn’t kosher, whom will he replace? Emergency would offer him recognition, though I can’t see him playing.

Agree 100% - Alice is a great climate for winter footy - yes, last year we endured the wettest coldest week on record for our game - usually warm, dry, and sunny. But Darwin, where no doubt the majority of games would have to be played is frankly a friggin nightmare - hot, humid, wet. I understand (but am happy to be corrected) isn't their major competition season the summer? Of course these concessions, and the further worsening of the disgraceful schedule iniquity (quaintly refereed to by some as the draw) would be mitigated by transferring a Victorian based team in toto to Hobart, like South Melbourne - Sydney and Fitzroy Brisbane, leaving 18 teams (which for those mathematically inclined is an even number meaning no regular byes as we endure in the VFL) That would have to be IMO one of North, StKilda or Hawthorn, all of which have already dabbled into the Apple Isle. In fact amalgamating the three aforementioned into Tassie Devils would get us back to a far more manageable and equitable 16 team competition - pipe dream only I know.

OMG - but do they actually have to fly interstate this year?? They would feel right at home - will their president be on the plane too?

Totally agree .... but then someone selected Spargo in round 0 despite not having had a match sim, so who knows what the selectors will do.

But, your honour, kicking is surely a football action.

I guess it will tweak all it can now to benefit one and only one far southern state.

And what for practical purposes does that even mean? We can find it but can’t benefit from it?

Wait for the inevitable AFL last minute rule change that, having set up Collingwood Geelong and Carlton with multiple FS, we find it harder it to draft our FS - like the academy change that denied us Mac (though I am not so sure that I am as peed off as I was at the time). MFCSS kicking in here.

Which was why I suggested resting BBB after two. Petty hopefully will be ready by then - not ready this week by all accounts.

Will the bloody bye thanks to the Tassie team count as an extra round?

Intestiing - a friend of mine has a similar question 🙄 Clash jumpers - more marketing for the AFL. Exactly - and of course who gets the bye round 1 (after 0) and in the last round? Compromised beyond belief.
