At Least I Saw a Flag

If I hear any more about Gryan Myers and his goal assists I'll spew ... STFU morons.

Butters/Rozee/Horne-Francis ... wow, what a midfield!! Wines (Brownlow medalist) doesn't even get a look in these days. The puddy tatts will need next level assistance from the umpires to win this.

Agree ... the umpiring is disgraceful.

Is it somewhat ironic that Caleb Daniel outmarked a player called Short?

Nah, I think you mean Charlie Spargo's older (bigger) brother.

I'm in the 'rest Jack Viney' camp. His body could do with a rest! His attack on the ball/opponent is the most relentness I've seen since Paul Kelly (Swans). I confess to not being a great fan of his in the past. I now hang my head in shame. His 2023 season has been brilliant. I suspect Norf will play 2 rucks ... Goldstein and Xerri presumably. So, I think we should play 2 rucks, to give Max something of a break during the match, and to give Grundy a run. I think that Sparrow is a good replacement for Viney. Not convinced about Dunstan. Perhaps Hibbo in for Jordon or Harmes or Woewodin? Harmes' first half v Richmond was terrible, but he did at least improve in the second half. Woewodin isn't getting many possessions, but I think that long term he will be fine. Poor old JJ ... I think his form has pretty much peaked. I don't think we can afford to rest May, but I agree that he is looking a bit tired/old. Excuse my ramblings, but it is past my usual bedtime.

I agree. I thought the same.

I similarly disgraced myself ... in MCC members. At that incident I yelled out "shut up ... he kicked it". (Should that have been in capitals?) The only times I yelled out "ball", the umpire was clearly in agreement with me, and duly paid the free kick.

Any more talk about "shemans" in the Tigers' post match thread? Re umpiring ... Hunter kicking out after a point. He ran 30 metres without bouncing the ball ... lol!!! Tigers supporters round me were (justifiably) going spare.

Fletcher ... rising star last week, subbed off this week. From chocolates to boiled lollies ...

The crowd at the Gold Coast are going wild ... both of them.

He repeated the comment at half time. ["The Q clash is living up to expectations.]

I haven't seen Funky Bunny* outside the G this year. *At times masquerading as Darth Vader.

Dwayne comment at quarter time ... "The Q clash is living up to expectations." What were the expectations? Very low I would have thought! So, to that extent he was correct.

Wow ... GWS tried to lose with 4 seconds to go. That deliberate kick out of bounds gave the Dogs a chance. Thankfully a chance they didn't take.

TOBY !!!! gws now in front ...

Jee-long clap/clap/clap ... followed by booing. How I hate them !!

Hate Carlton. But my hatred of the filth is off the scale .... Haven't heard DAICOS DAICOS DAICOS much, nor seen the smirking father thankfully.

Of course not. ... I'm also guilty of 'poos and wees'.

lol ... the filth Jee-long (clap/clap/clap) Norf Toigs Guilty of all the above ... but make no apologies for doing so. I don't do Essen-drug or Meth Coast though.

Bont is a great player. But when he dropped an easy chest mark which resulted in an Essendon goal, the commentators said nothing. Even when it was replayed. No such treatment for Libba when a handball was intercepted and similarly resulted in a goal. What's happened to shepherding? Seems to be a long forgotten skill. I hope that JVR follows JUH's rate of improvement. He's a star. I wish we'd recruited Peter Wright. Stringer ... lol I don't like Weightman much, but he's a pretty good player. I was going to say that Essendon were a pretty ordinary side, but they're worse than that. Might head over to the Essendon Bigfooty forum for some light reading.

May was the obvious player to be subbed off.
