Casboult copping a cattle prod today -
Rowell trying to thread the needle to a 1 v 1 lol. Turnover. As good as he is at getting possession some of his decision making is horrid.
-
Hilarious from Chol there
-
Really need to dump the stand rule. Such a massive advantage to the player with the ball with the umps taking far too long to call play on 90% of the time. It's become a horrid eye sore that gifts the possession team too many cheap advantages and goals.
-
What happens when you don't put your best defender on the oppo's best forward and take too long to realise the mistake
-
Collins to Curnow surely
-
Looking to work it through the corridor by hand and foot wherever possible. Contesting hard when they need to but also taking the gane on once they win the ball. Great footy to watch Choll, Whitts, Rowell, Miller & Flanders all very good so far

I've only been there twice. The first time was uninvited with a Mark 'Jacko' Jackson mask on. The members were horrified and i only managed one pot before being asked to leave. I did argue that as an MFC player (at the time) surely i was welcome. That didn't appear to go down to well as they retorted with something to do with me being D&D.

Verral is a possibility depending on how he develops next season
-
I knew what you meant WC. Just stirring the pot a little 🤭 I'm relating myself to the dude in the jacket behind WCW. Unless i'm somehow sleep walking out of the house dressing in me mum's gear now and i don't know it! Thinking the only time i might have a sook would be after witnessing a premiership at the G after the siren.

First four rows...not!! (I'm sure WCW will not relate to this lot. Not enough mayhem ... noise 😄) Next 6.... The rest (that's me getting up to go to the loo after a few too many frothies (drinking now banned though...dry area which is probably best!). The alien Hawks supporter won't last in the reserve area and will be marshalled out within minutes).... It's great fun being part of the 'rest of the DA' as WCW puts it (😝) and you don't have to put up with oppo supporter nuffies and their nonsense but you only get to see half the ground. My brother and i were part of the CS back in the early 70s. We sat in the southern stand and there was a secondary group down in the northern stand forward pocket Punt Rd end. Roughly M4 to M5 now. Bro and his mates (with younger me in tow) then created their own splinter group for a while hanging banners, waving floggers and throwing streamers, confetti (cut up newspaper) over the 1st level of the Ponsford. Didn't last long lol.

I guess you have to be in the know tech wise and be a bit of a Seinfeld fan to get that one Bubs. To clarify.... You and/or Red mentioned issues with uploading photos in terms of them being rejected as the file size was 'too big' The solution is 'shrinking' the file size so that it will be accepted by the DL server. The Seinfeld GIF is a famous one and refers to George having just gotten out of a pool and a young lady having walked in on him as he was changing I'll let you make the connection!

You can't leave our only KTF or TF roles up to JVR alone as the rookie. Smith has to play forward if we're to have a decent chance of kicking a winning score. Tomo comes in for Smith forward for mine. And looks like Spargo for JJ as we had one too many inside mids last week. Woe had a very good first half and a bit (till knocked about in the third Q) at Casey. Had he played the entire game out at the level he played in the first half he would've been vying for the JJ replacement me thinks. While he probably lacks the ability to read the game and get to the right spots as often plus consistency, he has the fitness, speed out of congestion and class with ball in hand when he's on. Will make a very handy (or better) outside mid/winger. Not far off a recall if he puts a three - four quarter game in similar to last week imv.

Normally i'd say 100% uncle but sometimss the recovery from these serious foot injuries can be a week to week proposition. No doubt they'll want to get some actual game time load in to him prior to finals to get him cherry ripe but we are fast running out of weeks. If he comes good and we have the bye but Casey is an option then we might have no choice but to play him there for half a game or so. Gus is in the midst of possibly having his best season in the red & blue, at least in terms of the high levels he is reaching most weeks. Senior player & very well versed with media now. He's more than capabale of wearing various hats, knows when to switch things on and rarely puts in a bad game. Least of our worries imo. If we had wheeled out a 2nd year rookie etc to handle a presser like this or he was in a form slump then i might be a bit more understanding.

Bottom line it comes back to your earlier excellent post Bubs. If the umpire is unsure as to whether it's been touched or not and wants to go to the ARC, the default has to be "it's a goal" unless clearly proven otherwise by the video evidence at hand. If they don't change it up to the above default (under a "i think it might have been touched but not sure....pls check" scanario), then all oppo players involved in close over-the goal-line kicks like this should always call touched ball regardless of whether it was or wasn't. It will be a blight on the game but it appears that is what the AFL is happy to go with. So bring it on!
-
Nonsense....the mainstream press will often make anything up to run with the preferred "AFL" view of things. There was an interview with a Carlton player who was near the goal line contest and they asked him the same thing.... he said no way you could make anything out as the crowd noise was just too loud to hear anything like that. Brodie Kemp i think.

Told the war office on Monday, prior to this article, that if this is the way the AFL's going to adjudicate a goal review and they're "happy with the review" then every close goal (where there's an oppo player/s on the goal line) should now be claimed as "touched" straight away regardless of whether it was or wasn't. Nice to see we are the first cab off the rank for a change. Maysie on the front foot... https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/08/15/ive-instructed-the-other-defenders-mays-revelation-after-score-review/

Possibly coconut flavouring instead of coconut cream Red. Same thing was happening on the cruise we went on back in May. They did a great job with the presentation but it was like having a pineapple slurpy! Any decent Pina should also start with Bacardi Gold as the base with hints of caramel, almond & most importantly... banana!!
