monoccular

Suck that 🕶️ That awful meaningless chant USA USA At least I have someone to barrack for next week.

Rayner actually EARNED a couple of goals. Go Bears. 🐻

One would have to think that there was a gale blowing to the Punt Road end. Even though there isn’t.

Horrible quarter Lions. I guess I will have to go for Cats next week.

Maggots doing their job - soft free then double 50 - goal !! Dillon will be so pleased $$$$$

Cox 🕶️ such a 💩. Appeals for frees just about anytime he is near the ball.

How can that be “ insufficient intent” when the Magpie could have taken it but shepherded it out?

Cameron bloody amazing. Cats don’t seem to miss Hawkins much.

Just turned the game on. Jeez I hate the umpiring either way. The absurd stand rule - guy in the mark is fixed, but the guy kicking forward is about 30 degrees inboard and not brought around. Hawks trailing nd an off balance 40-50 meter kick goes out - “insufficient intent” FFS! Also hate the camera work - who wants to see the face of the kicker. What the hell is going on down field ? Vociferous dissent is now OK? Bailey Sniff abuses umpire with impunity.

Even worse will be an uneven number of clubs, meaning byes. Have they not looked at the mess called the VFL. And no guess which clubs will get the better run with the byes. Or North, who already play games in Tassie. Or Hawthorn who already wear the logo AFL Tasmania.

Hird, Voss (among others) validates this, though Hird will undoubtedly claim that he was sabotaged by others.

Why should Guerra waste his time explaining to an airhead what he has been told already but couldn’t get it through his thick cranium?? One way to reduce congestion, which has always occurred by the way, would be to have the boundary umpire throw it in from 10 meters inside the boundary - it would certainly reduce repeat throw ins and if applied deep in forward / defence make forcing it out of bounds very unattractive for defenders.

So 24 h after the question was posted, no sensible answers.

In that case it is time to end prevarication and intrigue.

Update Mr Wells - there was some talk here about someone very high up in the coaching hierarchy being appointed, in case you missed something. Something about a king - maybe you could be the court jester

ABSOLUTELY HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. Mr Guerra - can you please bring all our communications systems into the modern age - I am so sick of interviews having totally unintelligible questions. I would be happy to put in to a fund to buy a bloody mobile microphone*, and for coaches not to respond to questions not addressed properly. It is so bloody amateurish as it has been for years. This is just plain amateur hour stuff. That said, Mr King seems articulate and thoughtful - it just would have been really nice to know what questions he was responding to. just checked Amazon who have some for $22.09 or two for $39.76 with free delivery tomorrow, which will be plenty of time before another press conference. Please let me know how much you would like me to contribute to bringing at least small part of our comms into the 2020s

Quite a different scenario to King’s reckless act, which unlike 💩#5 had no malice. I suspect that wheels are grinding busily below the surface. And as for Buckley, may he freeze in the open air stadium in Hobart devoid of success for decades.

I really think, horrible as it was, it is time to put what was a very reckless, high impact, high (but not deliberate or malicious) contact behind us. Yes, he should have been suspended, but I feel more anger at his coach at the time, Thompson, who seemed to think it was quite amusing. Jeff appears to have shown his class and done so.

I was ambivalent about this game, but then when the TV focused on the Suns’ box and I saw Hardwick I realized just how much I dislike him

He isn’t starting next year, he is starting as soon as Geelong are out, either next Saturday or Monday week. He will be with us throughout the trade and draft periods (even thought he isn’t the list manager he will have the usual input)).

What the [censored] was that 50 for? I thought that you could retreat after a stand call? PS the camera angles even worse than last night. I hate the zoomed shot all the time - when watching for home a wider perspective is needed to get an overall view.

I just turned on and thought I must have been on the wrong Chanel. More putrid that the Cheaters’ pajama jersey.

At least he has the fond memory of playing a big role in the most dominant finals series of all time. But geez the Crows are dead set chokers.

Has the Dees goalkicking coach moved to Adelaide? And geez Tex choking under pressure.

When did the rule officially change that there is no 50 for vociferously berating an umpire? Sicily gets away with anything.
