Return to Glory

Really interesting post. Agree with much of it other than the captaincy. Not sure Salem will net us much more than a late second rounder based on recent performances. Can we add him to the equation (whatever it is) to get Gold Coasts pick four? We played much of last night like we were afraid to lose rather than daring to win. A couple of new coaches may just bring that.

Is Rudi Webster still alive? Get him

Cannot agree. MacDonald wasn't working. Schache should have had a run 30 minutes earlier

Extensions?

Yep, spot on.

Now that I think about it, the Swans player did headbutt his fist.

Won't have to worry about Jack Martin. He's gonski

What a grub Tom Morris is though. Happy to set Laura Kane up for abuse. This is the same guy who was exposed as a homophobe and racist. Leopard and spots

Michael Christian is horribly compromised. Why, as a former Collingwood player, is he even allowed to be involved in the process? Sounds like he wanted to argue 'no case to answer' to keep sweet with his mates and it's been leaked. Perfect outcome for him really.

And now the media now pushing a narrative of 'it's an optics thing' and will be overturned at the tribunal. This has included footage of a knee to Brayshaw's head some time prior with the inference that it was also partly a cause of him being knocked out.

Preparing to be disappointed. Michael Christian, former Collingwood footballer, about to make a decision on a Collingwood player playing in a GF potentially. FMD

That was a chance for the umpire to assert some authority. [censored] weak

There’s no way Schache could have played worse that TMAC tonight. Given Van may go, he has to be considered. However much he’s maligned. For starters, he’s a great set shot

Only if he believes in an all-powerful dog

Didn't know you were allowed to unrealistically fly for the contest then play on for a goal

Laurie - don't underestimate performance

If we go on and win the Premiership, it stems from this gutsy effort

Choking?

This match will be one of the greatest Sydney lovefests of all time, from umpires (let's include goal) to commentators.

I don't think Gold Coast are getting enough advantages 🙄

Not sure the Bombers could get the better of Tyabb at the minute GTG

Mindboggling that McCartin gets off that. Had other options clearly.....but apparently he didn't.

Cutting edge technology clearly being used by the AFL

Salem - performance lacked urgency
