Zak Jones, an experienced player, subbed off during this debacle. Not a good sign.
Harmes played an OK game.

I might pop over to the Saints bigfooty post match thread (shortly). Nothing like a bit of schadenfreude.
Did anyone else read the 'highlights' of Justice Lee's judgment in the Lehrmann defamation case? I recommend it. I especially loved the line "After escaping the lion's den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of going back for his hat." Comic gold.
Is anyone else still actually watching the match?

They did this with Easton Wood. They never called him ‘Wood,’ It was always ‘Easton Wood.’
It tends to be players with surname type first names.
I first noticed it with Mitchell White of WC Eagles about 30 years ago. Continued with Fraser Gehrig et al. Although that BT moron used to call him "Fraser" sometimes.
This discussion is more interesting than the carnage taking place at Doglands.

He'll play v Tigers.
Goodwin rarely drops someone after one match ... well, other than Tomlinson and Schache.

North wearing black armbands in memory of the mum who died yesterday in the Bondi stabbing attack, Ashlee Good, who was the daughter of former North player, Kerry Good. Tragic.
It is beyond tragic ... RIP Ashlee and the 5 others who were murdered.
Her 9 month old daughter was also attacked, but thankfully survived. But she will grow up without her mum.
- Good's nine-month-old baby was rushed to hospital on Saturday and is now "doing well" after hours of emergency surgery, her family said in a statement.
It is beyond belief that this happened.

The thing that concerned me with this game from a tactical point of view is that Brisbane rushed up to shut down any efforts to release out the front of the stoppage. Combined with the usual tactic of bring manic pressure at the contected ball against us, it seemed to shut down our ability to release a bit of of pressure from the skirmish. They were set, had a plan and came to play. We didn't catch on that our 1 wood had been stolen.
"A plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel."

Not ideal.
I had a bad feeling about this match. Minimal consolation is collecting on my bet on Brisbane.
Also relieved that I couldn't attend the match.

From Foxsports ...
The AFL has tightened its rules around head-high contact for 2022, with more suspensions likely to be given out under tweaks for the Match Review and Tribunal.
Previously when a high bump or front-on contact occurred, “strong consideration” had to be given to the potential to cause injury. New for next season, the potential to cause injury must be factored into the impact grading.
It means, as with striking charges, any high contact with the potential to cause injury will “usually” be classified as either medium, high or severe impact - not low impact.
To those who keep banging on that the impact was minor. Yes, Soligo wasn't injured. However, potential to cause injury caused it to be classified as 'medium'.
Can't see Kozzy getting off with a fine.

You have to love demonland, the only footy forum that debates punctuation.
Get in whilst we still have some.
I think AMW or Seston ready for debut.
Yes, some of us cannot stand apo's'tophe abu's'e.

Shame the Blues won. Somewhat ironic that it was based on a 'mark' when the ball was touched, but overlooked. The opposite of that match v Demons where the ball wasn't touched (Marchbank) but was determined that it was.
I don't like the Dishlickers, but I hate Jee-long much more.

NON-MFC: Round 06
in Melbourne Demons
I hope Adelaide win tonight.
Of course I hope the filth lose. Doesn't matter who they're playing.
