monoccular

Agree, except Koz not composed. The stupid likely suspension aside, he also could easily have had Petty’s mark reversed for a silly meaningless late bump. Well who doesn’t? Leadership need to have a long hard lack to him. Could cost us a big game later in the season if he continues this. He is NOT a thug but let’s himself and the team down. Susa an archetypical Frittata goal. ❤️💙❤️💙 Maybe stunnicity at its bestest?

Needs at least a few weeks at Casey

Scheduling, plus (in retrospect) poor player management, almost cost us

And the schedulers can stick it in a dark unpleasant place too

20 - 8 And another for a goal. Just wondering how SportsBet is going? How exciting would it be for Dill to have "an exciting turn around" for his first Gather Roanf game? Time for some cool heads Dees.

The umpiring is absolutely corrupt tonight - BBB mark reversed then #12 pushed Rivers clearly in the back - mark said - goal. #22 is the worst I have ever seen

Two appalling deliberates tonight - particularly the first against Salo - he was on the line when he first made contact. Kozzie really needs a dressing down by the leadership - could very easily have had Petty's mark reversed. And will cost us vital games if he persists with these stupid unproductive acts.

Ch 7 / Kayo seem to be barracking for it. I am sure Christian won't see that harmless act as a footy action for a ew weeks at least. We need too see the Kolt Sestan Pup Woey and not without warning. Maggot:"cool it" Crow:"have a b bloody look" Maggot:"enough"

Chin chin ... another ripper set shot. I hope that this isn't going to turn out to be a combinations of 1/ screwed by AFL in terms of scheduling, compounded by 2/ unimaginative player management given the above. Perhaps a refresh would have benefited but 'hard to change a winning team'

Nobody is so blind as he who does not wish to see

Dystemper and or rabies. The VFL is a dog’s dinner because it is way too large, and because it has uneven numbers hence rollin rollin rollin bloody byes. Did I understand that lest season some clubs didn’t even meet? Let Sydney and Queensland have a 4 team comp - they could introduce some novelty events with flares and dancing girls as many of the locals don’t understand footy. Or, if they are happy to travel regularly on limited resources then an 18 team comp with curtain raisers for AFL games.

This has been a hobby horse for me for several years. I am not arguing that this is or is not an umpiring error. It is clearly an AFL Administrative oversight / coward in corner issue. As long as night follows day, inevitably at some stage a player at some level is going to suffer a life changing cervical injury. It is impossible to prevent 100%, but the AFL could at least make it a less likely method of injury by one simple step: ANY PLAYER WHO DRIVES THEIR HEAD INTO AN OPPONENTS LEGS, GROIN, MIDRIFF OR CHEST SHALL BE PENALISED IN EVERY CASE There can be no free kick to be anticipated or considered. Just don’t bloody do it. It will significantly reduce the risk of such a life changing, family changing, injury, and burdening inevitably an enormous weight of guilt on a non guilty party. but the AFL being their arrogant selves, will do nothing and then piously wring their hands when it happens asking what could we do to stop it. Well, Dillon, Gillon and hacks at AFL house just come out and say every low head charge is a penalty against. As long as there is any possibility of reward some will continue to do it. Here endeth my annual rant on the subject

Bowes and McVee have slotted almost seamlessly into the best backline in the competition. Sure every game won’t be their best but whose ever is?

Braahtn to Sandy - you could almost risk one of the EVs without too much range anxiety, if driven carefully. That reminds me - didn’t he miss quite a bit of time with some sort of hip / pelvis injury?

They have made this all so wordy that it takes a lawyer to even determine what it means. Plenty of wriggle room for 💩#4Magpie, or any of his teammates to take before an appeals board once again selectively lead by someone very clearly with zero interest in a conviction They desperately need to clarify the use of the knee in a contest. Chol and 🕶️ are cheating exponents of this. Should be at least a free very time, a 50 in case of a mark, and several week if head contact is bless clearly incidental.

Wow. What can one say. Gutsy, TEAM win. Nobody stopped ❤️💙❤️💙 Who seriously would have thought both our geriatrics BBB and TMc would be in almost career best form after their awful 2023? BBB just doesn’t get shorter as the game goes on, and when he has the ball in range I feel confident. I guess they will both have to be managed. An amazing never say die team effort. Total raw stats presumably don’t mean everything. Short break (and how absolutely unnecessary is that) surely will mean some changes. Do you know how many extras they took over?

Clarry just walked onto the big stage and owned it. What a debut sure The Duke is an amazing calm talent and absolutely no disrespect to say that Clarrys debut was a one off.

Of course. the lions kangaroos should have been Wednesday night. With both teams having an extra 2 days than us.

Give the young kid some space. When not required to do so much ruck work , like last year, he made some great leads, clunked some strong mark and kicked some super goals He is going through a rough spot and needs support not mockery

Didn’t Dixon run around the mark?

In what world is that not a 50 to max. Sozi ran straight into him after the mark.

Understatement Need to use it a lot better too

Karate chops can cause immense damage. No fist required. Gut punches/ belly taps have no place in the game. They are NOT footy actions and never should be

But, like last September, terrible precedents are Collingwood's specialty. Gut punches especially to the unaware, are cowardly and should not be part of the game. Mentioned before Clarrie gets them regularly. I remember Sniper Harvey giving one to Bernie Vince who I don't think played much more of the game. Sniper H wasn't cited either as far as I remember. Fines will not deter highly overpaid AFL "stars". I don't think #4💩 (can't use his name) will get cited either, for his dump tackle, but would one of ours - to set an example?
