monoccular

Any observations re Sestan, who had been mooted by some for a late season senior debut. Was he an attacking HBF? Is that he best position?

Jumper punches, jabs to guts would stop immediately if suspensions, not fines, happened every time and for every club (even the protected darlings of the MRO and the tribunal chairman). Jabs off the ball again (like Max suffers every game) need at least a free every time, and suspensions, not fines, if head high Heads down into opponents need to be penalised every time - no rewards with free kicks ever. That would stop immediately but again only if applied every time and every club.

Commentary is just plain barracking.

Inevitably Maynard will be the beneficiary of Christian charity. No doubt he will officiate Melbourne games next season.

And Kozzie getting 3 for in effect being tunnelled by Moore If the AFL wanted to dispel the perception of corruption they would recuse Christian and Gleeson from any decisions that may involve or effect Collingwood, but of course it will be business as usual.

Just as he still does as Collingwood’s own MRO

Us old codgers who started following footy from 1954 to 1964 are very privileged to remember a true dynasty. Resurrect Norm!!!

Very familiar MFCSS stuff

Adelaide having a choke of Normanic proportions.

FFS. Insufficient intent when you handball whilst being slung in a swivel Absolutely no understanding of the game

Memo to Adelaide Don’t kick it to Mr Knees

Suck that up 😎. Hope it hurts

Crows very fumbly early. . Walker choking in another final??

I just managed to see Noah Yze's goal clips on you tube. Seven straight - is there any precedent for a rookie draftee becoming a senior goal kicking coach?? 🤔 His set shot kicking is just so smooth (although he does have the habit, so widely pilloried when it is Max or Tracc, of spinning the ball before his final lining up and executing).

Port??

No doubt the possible ambiguity is built in by the AFL to enable them to pick and choose how to adjudicate depending on their agenda.

And no leaks for now 🤗

Interesting that a KP defender did any ruck work at all, unless I guess his direct opponent did the same. Any observations on Pup Brown or Verrell?

As long as they can sometime get an even number to get rid of the absurd repeated byes which kill player development and return from injury.

Massive call on Bison - but lets hope you are right.

yet how many times has he played up forward since 2021? Me too, but whomever gets the nod there will be a hell of s lot of dissenters here And Hird

Yes, Buckley hasn’t coached for a while but he watches and dissects every game so knows what works and what doesn’t. Throw in his frustration at missing flags both as a player and as a coach he could be just the man.

Maybe the new coach (officially TBA but, wink nod?) has said he would like a couple of very experienced fantastic role models who are still making significant contributions on and off the field to stay and even help him settle in. There is a lot more than coming and gathering all around him - strong leaders are essential. And I do just wonder with Tommy’s staying what that means for May and / or Lever who have been chronically injured that past couple of years. Both have been great contributors but are clearly waning.

One opportunity only, under heavy fire, and far from disgraced. PS no apostrophe eiher

One benefit despite the sadness if a longstanding VFA/VFL club folds is that there could then be an even number of teams thus avoiding the miserable random byes throughout the season, which seriously hampers fringe AFL listed players’ development.
