If you saw the look on Max's face after the siren today you will know what you've said here is not true. He was filthy...

Quoting myself here but heard Gerrard Healy say almost exactly the same thing earlier today. Whately was trying to say the tribunal need to stamp this out, Healy basically said it never happened until they started allowing hands in the back. Enforce the original rule & you have no problem.

He (Shiel) put both players in extreme danger and should get a minimum of 3 weeks, personally I think it's worth 5 to 6. This needs to be abolished from the game. Unfortunately allowing players to push in the back has had these type of unintended consequences. It started with hands to steady and progressively led to pushing. Go back to umpiring the rules, hands in the back is a free kick...there is a reason the founders had this rule in the first place.

I don't understand the argument from King & Cornes. King reckons Newcome had no idea that Howe was there at the start... He looks straight at him when they are around 10 metres off the ball and then again before the collision.

That's him...perfect description.

Time for Josh to come back?

Just enjoy it for wha it is 'old dee'...it will never be the mens game but the endeavour, team first attitude and joy that our girls bring to the game make them a great watch for me. I said above Goldy is my favourite Demon and she is & that includes the men. ...not the best skills but she takes the game on, is so competitive & always plays with good spirit along with such a big smile when the game is done.

With you on the KPF's, nothing of interest at the Hawks but I would also be dubious of picks in this draft...

He's nowhere near ready, only just starting to find his feet at VFL level.

It's not a bad idea...was thinking similar.

Good luck Goldy...my favourite Demon.

They are a joy to watch... Yep...

Nah, she's spot on with what she's saying. The whole thing is a disgrace and it was rubber stamped by the members..

I think it's a bit of a nothing but the substance of the article is very concerning.

The point is he's not here, the right candidate would have been well entrenched in the job.

I reckon that's so important...they're got to really want it.

Exactly, he's only run into a bit of form lately...

Not so much now but I'm sure if we went all youth approach most would be complaining if we lost. I don't agree with some of the selections but you can guarantee it's always been done in good faith.

Imagine if a side was picked with the best chance of winning the game in mind...

Yes, lets hope the board stand down. They're a big reason we are in this position.

They get to vote and decided to keep the status quo. That's on the members.

They've been asleep at the wheel since around 2021, got lucky with the flag but all the in fighting around the club has killed it. ...and all the Mr Magoo's around here voted for the status quo...

Had the pleasure of being at both those games. I was that traumatised by the 88 GF that when waiting in the MCC line at the 2000 GF I made the decision at about 7am to go home. I knew EFC would smash us and couldn't bare being there.

It really concerns me...for a start I don't know whether Smith is the man for the job but he is encumbered by a board that has taken us from sweets to boiled lollies. This is a board most on here were happy to back. Guerra has zilch AFL football experience. September means another lost year.

Jeffo has had a good run of games...probably not up to it, definitely not ready. Kentfield's time will come. Adams hasn't really played a game the demands selection. Laurie has been tried and found wanting. The only thing I would like to see is maybe getting a run in the midfield. Mentha is a long way off it but has some promise. Culley has just started to show a bit playing some more mid time, would like to see him get a run. Brown, love his endeavour but disposal really is the issue. Woey has had his chances.
