monoccular

Is that Jimmy Toumpass? Maybe, like with May, they don’t want to scare anyone? Gonzo - I can see that a lot of readers did take it that way. OMG - even He could have re-injured his foot on that surface.

OMG the anointed Daicos / Magpies double now in serious doubt. 🤗🤗 Now for the Petracca / Demons double with Max or Clarrie for the Norm. Or maybe ANB just to peeve some of our regular posters.

Maybe that is why Gill in his infinite wisdom has decreed that a billion or two needs to be spent by Tasmania to have a team there. Meanwhile we get sent there, and to Geelong, every / most years whilst CFCx2, EFC, RFC don’t. Such is the depth of corruption of this competition.

To paraphrase Willy Nelson He is gone But he was here And his presence is still heavy in the air Oh what a taste Of forward love Now he’s gone and it don't matter anymore

No timeline on Frittaty? Praha - averages are meaningless when he played some games as a defender. The past two weeks he averaged 4. Big but not necessarily good. “Spargo also chatting with a friend rather than lining up” This is how rumours start. Clearly he has already signed up for the new Tasnaniac team.

Is this all MFCSS generated pessimism? (PS I can understand that)

Decent or deficient? Either way May is the key leader of our team defence - cannot see in any way he would be moved forward Even Shack would be a better option.

If JVR could notget a game a year ago when we were in desperate straits up forward there is zero chance of us debuting Jefferson this year I misread this as sprints and thought that there was an excess of pessimism here. Dunno - Schache could be an answer up forward if someone can give him some angry pills. Tom would certainly attack with all his ability. And he does have firm.

In that case you could explain things about Collingwood Richmond Port and Eagles.

Petty - new unlucky player. Didn't see any of the game but has he replaced Joel?

Bring it on!

Surely you mean Flogmantle.

The surprising form of Hawks and WCE should be a warning to us NOT to be in anyway complacent tomorrow - though, granted, Kangaroos are not birds of prey.

Angus Brayshaw huge goal to take the lead 2021 GF - wasn't that from another "super boot Daniels"' clanger?

Dangerfield no doubt out preening for some media promotion, not related to this shameful episode. At the time it was reported that the Port doc viewed the incident and said nothing to see (even though the rest of the world was aghast). Also reported was that the AFL have someone in the bunker viewing this too with power to all the attention of the clubs to concerns. Where they blind too? Exactly - an opportunity for him to show that the AFL are actually serious about concussion, but he squibbed at this first contest. Glad he isn't playing for us.

Of all the hypotheticals, surely there is only one that matter - win our next 7 and we are Premiers.🏆

meat halfway - wisedog - you are surely baiting me. or are actually hotdog meat? meet

He has a very good approach and movement. It is just so outrageous though that there is no VFL game again this week - wasn't there a bye about 2-3 weeks ago? "...When Clarry is back, if Viney is sore, you could rest him for Hawthorn, but I reckon they'll push Viney until the end of the H&A season." surely you mean the end of the season, not just the H&A. won't 'rest' him for a final 🙄 Demonstone - so you really don't know? 🤔🙄

This is behind a paywall - what sort of "massive fine" are they referring to? Full fine or part suspended (which in itself is a farce)? Is the fine part of their salary cap? If not "massive fines" mean very different things to different clubs eg MFC 2012 vs WCE or Carlton. This is far more a case of "bringing the game into disrepute" than alleged tanking without tanking. Far worse, especially given the current (entirely correct) emphasis on concussion. Sounds a bit like the usual AFL, outrage without major consequences.

Wednesday night and still no official words from AFL HQ Pathetic if they think it will just go away

We can already see the AFL's "reaction"...... nothing, sweep under carpet, hope it goes away .... typical. chookrat - it was stated that the said doctor looked at the footage, the footage we all saw in horror, and said (paraphrasing) "nothing to see here" and let Alir back on. That is not a mistake - it is either gross incompetence, or gaming the system, probably both.

Feet? Is that Bailey's problem, after he achieved this feat?

n Sorry dee-tox. I was thinking along the lines of comparing Alir Alir with Mac Andrew's build. Nothing to do with Rick. Apologies for any confusion.

Thanks binman - fabulous analysis once again. Wodja - who is happier? The pessimist who is always right, or the optimist who is sometimes wrong?
