monoccular

You use the words cynical attempt to reverse the mark. I think he just loves to use his knees to hurt opponents, and knew that he had nothing to fear from their tame MRO: he could have caused severe internal injuries, again, with impunity.

Sadly a number of those you mention are serial offenders in the poor delivery department.

Of course, we all know why.

The MRO and the tribunal, in fact the entire AFL are a farce - some may even consider corrupt.

😮😮😮. Did he assassinate the umpire??

Is data available re which umpire awards how many frees for and against which team? One tonight stood out - won’t say which one for fears of accusations of sexism.

I missed the incident where May is said to be at risk. Anything in it? Ambivalent re Jefferson - showed endeavour and kicked a beautiful set shot. But if Kentfield has a blinder tomorrow he may replace Jeffo.

One or two may be put down to incompetence; tonight all went one way and together with our ineptitude made the difference. At least 4 goals that they got were from incorrect decisions.

Tunnelling by Carlton - fee to them, goal. Bloody hell - one could imagine that umpires have some ulterior motive? Some talk about punting during the week - how widespread is it?

Was it that, or one umpire saying the man on the mark as ok and the faraway one thought no? Absolutely horribly adjudicated rule.

The rules say there must be DEFINITE evidence to overrule the goal umpire’s call. Maybe just when it “suits the agenda”! No wonder people suggest that the AFL might be corrupt, incompetent, or both.

Stringer #2???

I was thinking the same thing be Harry Petty. Maybe just giving him half a game?? Clearly they do I guess they see more of them, and how they fulfil their roles.

👻 - you haven’t included finals 🤔😮

MFCSS is an incurable condition, even though (such as in 2021) there can be remissions. Relapses sadly are inevitable, though some sufferers are more adversely affected than others.

Mods - we need the 🤔thinking embark BT?? Please. And Derwayyne

Indeed. “Past it”, “Goody’s mate”, too old, too slow etc. I may even be guilty of being part of the baying mob, for which I humbly and deeply apologise.

Dee-vina Simms it up beautifully. What actually is “selection integrity” and does it (whatever it is) change as the season consolidates or unravels, as the case may be?? At this stage I suspect it should be planning ahead, thus for example Billings’ good performances at Casey may not be rewarded in the same way as a younger player. I would also think that the likes of Woewoden, Brown and Laurie should get some senior games, in continuity, unless their cards are marked already as I suspect some have been.

It is hard to judge his performances and 'footy brain' when his body doesn't let him get to where he has decided he wants to be. He needs a long break to get the ankle and tendons 100%, even if that means no more 2005. Mr Fence. I agree with JVR and Jeffo hopefully being our forward future, but as 👻 has said, HP is also our future though probably as the KPP defender post May and Lever so he does need game time there - perhaps Lever's setback could be Pett's moment.

Is BBB still close to the club, the club that earned him a Premiership medal 🥇? He has had some experience in coaching - could he help the errant forwards at least with their set shot routines. Ben, where are you? Has he been involved with the Max Viney grappling programme? Worth a try.

And it would be “uninterested” not “disinterested”, if it were either.

Except that the spreadsheet had already subbed off (as I recall).

McVee - mismatch on Darling.

His first few appearances showed intensity and excitement but recently he has been quite disappointing. Harsh to call him a bust but needs to consolidate at Casey for several weeks before reselecting.

ABC radio including Sniper Harvey saying nothing in it. 😡
