Green Demon

Baggers get to be sad this week, Pies get to be sad next week. Perfect.

Goal!

Carlton player trying to get the extra 50. Go Lions!!!

Daicos doesn’t get pinged for high ball…

He has an injured arm, so there is some protection under the sleeve.

Brown!!!! Maith an buachaill!!!

ABC radio were asking why we let Bedford go, singing his praises.

How good would be for the Pies to keep keeping behinds! 2-6!!!

I was thinking Armagh rather than the Dutch. 😀

That accuracy is good to see. The Pies are shell shocked.

Yes!!! Pies are ragged and rattled. 😀

Yes!!! Hogan!!!

Pies player runs the ball over the line. No deliberate.

Great mark by Brown. The Giant are doing ok.

Great to see Callum Brown from Derry, Ireland, playing for the Giants. Go Giants! Up Derry!

Cheering Maynard like his is some kind of hero. Feck…

Good for him. I hope "the smoker" comes back to us when we need him.

The other issue is discipline. Don't give away dumb frees, don't get rubbed out for dumb actions. How many goals did Kozzie cost us on Friday night? How much more would we have scored with JVR in the team.

The reason that me and many Irish people barrack for the Demons is because of Ron Barassi. The "Irish Experiment" brought Jim Stynes (RIP), Sean Wight (RIP), and others, to Melbourne. Thanks, RDB.

Listen to this concussion specialist, Dr. Ross Tucker, talk about the Maynard incident, at about 62 minutes in. There is a lot of talk about head injuries, mostly in Rugby Union, starting at 39 minutes in. He says that in Union, there is a duty of care for the other player (I know this has been talked about in the AFL but doesn't apply to Magpie players): https://podtail.com/en/podcast/the-science-of-sport-podcast/rugby-world-cup-23-the-amazing-tech-used-to-look-a/

Blocking free kick for Hogan explained. https://twitter.com/hasumpstuffedup/status/1703012587217293764

11-15 would have been just fine, last night.

https://twitter.com/rohan_connolly/status/1702999785383547056 So only once in 23 seasons of the current final eight system have BOTH qualifying final losers gone out in straight sets, back in 2014 when Geelong and Fremantle lost their semis ... looks like that's about to become two. #AFLPowerGiants

Yes, Giants are on a Demons scoring streak, keeping Port in the game, just about.

ABC - Anyone but Collingwood My preferred winners in order - GWS (for Jesse), Lions, Carlton, Pies. I don't like the expansion clubs but GWS look the business. The Pies will be getting nervous.
