monoccular

I am sure many here would just love to see Joel Smith get a run up forward, BUT only if he is match fit. He has had (I think) only one competitive outing in nigh on 12 months.

I didn’t see many other games over the weekend - usually there are many similar tackles? Were there others and did Christian cite them?

Sparrow - Christian’s weekly scapegoat

Are we lead by a Chamberlain, or a Churchill??

If Christian has called it on the vision shown in the news clip then he is very very clearly being vindictive towards the club that showed him up for the absurd farce we endured with JVR last week. It is definitely long overdue for him to be replaced with an unbiased fair and intelligent MRO. Tackles such as Sparrow's occur multiple times in a game and do not get reported.

Once again many thanks for your entertaining and informative podcast which I look forward to every week. Our taller / tallish KPP players continue to tantalize and confuse. Clearly May and Lever are our two primary defenders, but who if any is the third? Petty probably is the best but he is needed up forward for now at least and provided a great contest in the first half today. Disco? Tomlinson? Adams presumably at least a year away but is he showing signs at Casey? Do we need to pinch another developed tall defender in the trade period? The recently liberated JVR is developing beautifully but slowly as one would expect of anyone in his role, and it is a hell of a lot to ask him him to be the key, yet. Petty showed great signs before injury today and looked like a breakout was coming. Sadly I doubt if we see either BB or TMcD near their best again, due to chronic injuries. Jefferson, like Adams in defence, looks at least a year or two away. Brundy and Max fill in well but is this sustainable as a preferred option? How about Joel Smith if he can keep his body together? And of course our 6 goal GF premiership forward, Frittata, plays as a sort of tall but has been down on touch in recent games. Interested in your thoughts on these key areas, both short term and medium term.

Another solid though not spectacular game in a developing tall forward. Will take time but remains ultra competitive and not deterred by the “events of the week”. Keep up the development and team things and he will go a long long way.

Clarry and Vinnie both exceptional artists in their respective fields

Tarax Club. Agree re ANB - underrated as usual

Maggots being “kind” to Blues the last few minutes.

Sparrow is going along very nicely I think. Applied a lot of pressure especially early.

Just glanced at 7 half time without sound. Didn’t notice at the game - did Tracc injure his ankle in the dying moments?

Unfortunately (and I guess with the Tasmanian team coming we need to get used to it) Casey has another bloody bye. What a joke of a development competition. Nobody gets a chance to (a) get match fit and (b) show their wares.

Applied enormous pressure Q1 and now burnt out a bit

Let’s not take it as a given and that they are tanking - serious pressure from the first minute and maintain it.

Gill or Dill (in his previous job)???

I must say I haven’t had any significant problems until tonight so it may be me Carlton get away with dissent even more than these two teams with the 2022 *Downlow medalist being among the worst

Is it just me or is anyone else having problems with Kayo loading tonight?

I guess whenever he (Joel Smith) has been able to play he has spent most of his time in defence, so his defensive skills should serve us well if he were a forward.

You forgot in the LOSER category - Michael Christian

Thanks all for the reports Any sign of Joel Smith?

Hopefully the Demon faithful will turn upon droves to celebrate the victory of David over Goliath. Rooooo ! 10 goals please.

And don’t forget dimwit Christian who takes his prompts from sensationalist media commentators. He can’t make up rules on the run either.

Just asking for a friend (known as MFCSS) - can the AFL appeal an appeal board hearing?
