monoccular

Has anyone ever seen so many turnovers? Kicks DIRECT to opposition players. Eyesight? Jumper clash? (didn’t happen way back when covered in mud). Execution WILL kill us today and for the season.

And prepare yourselves for AFL byes, yes more of them, courtesy of some [censored] named Gil for introducing a 19th team and not replicating a team that already has Tasmanian connections. The farcical scheduling will become even more inequitable.

No fault on Woey's part but he was NOT anywhere near an adequate replacement for the injured Salem. Maybe Turner will play a role on HBF??

Thanks kev for your usual insightful analysis From those who trained who would be HBF for Salem? I am not sure I like the suggestions from some of moving Duke or Langdon there - have they been there before? Woey though no fault of his own was not up to scratch as his in game replacement. Maybe Disco?

I may be wrong but I seem to have heard somewhere that heading the ball is not allowed in some junior soccer competitions - not sure how young though

Maybe the Carlton guy could also be cited for overreacting ... well after impact

... or premature, which could explain any extended absence ?

or maybe a 15 yo girl waiting to be 16 Taytay lookalike?

Kozzie got two (or was it three) round 1 2023 for a zero impact impact.

and throw in the WESTERN Bulldogs too 🙂

It is just impossible to develop up and coming players properly when there is no continuity. Casey have had two byes in 3 weeks. A pathetic excuse for a development competition.

Of course just lIke Brayshaw failing in his duty to avoid #4💩 I recall that we were the beneficiaries of one last week or the week before (Petty). MFCSS And missed out on Duke and Kolt? I guess time will tell. Port and Bears - never put your house on them. 🤔

Sadly I believe given the reasons for him not playing he cannot be out on a LTI list. It is however taking a hellova long time. What has happened to “justice delayed, justice denied”?

This is a real opportunity to fool the public into believing that the MRO and tribunal are NOT corrupt outcome driven team biased (dis)organizations. Will they baulk? Kozzie would get 4-6 for that without a doubt. Its not as if Toby gets the “ never been suspended despite multiple fines” Cameron discount, though he will probably get the GW$ needs a flag discount

But we really need to further dilute the talent pool with another team (which will also further compromise the competition with another bye) I think the 95% probably don’t give the AFL as much as the 5% - money $$$$$

Not hour, year : decade, century or millennium Strange thing advertising. Crypto want their name and logos on the screen as often as they can yet repeatedly show that they have a “rather ordinary” product.

Touché Thanks binman - great analysis as expected.

Which jones was that. There are two out there but only one Williams.

So, if you haven’t been suspended, even if fined multiple times for striking, you can never be suspended?? Dill is just as bad as Gill, and Christian and Gleason for that matter. My grapevine says that it is already well in process.

old dee - absolutely no, zero, null comparison between JVR and Weed at any stage in their careers. JVR has been super competitive since day 1 58er. Agree almost totally with your summation though I don’t know where you got the idea of him doing cameos in defence or as a lock down. I guess he could do it but don't see why he should.

Except when it chooses to do so. Special circumstances, special player, special team.

OK to be nervous but bagging him as waste of space, list clogger etc as some do to some players who do not become stars is disrespectful and doesn’t contribute much of use. Luke Molan I believe broke his leg very early on, then maybe a dislocated or fractured a shoulder on return, and yes maybe an ACL that finished his career. Never had a chance.

I will again come to the defence of Luke Molan. He never had an opportunity to show his wares due to a succession of unrelated serious impact injuries. How many consecutive games did he get at Sandringham who as I recall was our VFL affiliate at the time? Nobody knows, seriously, if he could have been an even half decent player.

As was I. Actually 2 GFs in my first few weeks. Rusted on early.

Is that the same Caleb Daniel whose apalking kick out of defence resulted in Angus’ game changing goal in the 2021 GF? He shanked quite a few.
