  1. What’s the general opinion about the quality of the game itself? I found it lacking some big moments, and the 3rd quarter was very dull. News media talking about it being one of the greats, but I certainly don’t feel that way. It was close, but a touch devoid of some magic?
  2. Well, today he did, but I thought it was more representative of the mood of the average fan. It felt more about the AFL and tribunal process than anything. 👍
  3. Yep. He got a suspended sentence because the judge said he was ‘highly likely to ever offend again’… and literally the very next day another victim came forward.
  4. One of the things I liked about today’s game was the booing of Maynard. Those were neutral fans who clearly disagree with the handling of that incident, and it was clear to hear on the broadcast.
  5. Good point. Every year a club wins that I hate, and the sun comes up tomorrow and I think to myself ‘right, what’s the club got planned for trades?’.
  6. Brodie lives around the corner from me. He’s a really nice guy (who grows some of the best Lemons in the neighbourhood). Every time I see him I’m always amazed at how thin he is. There’s nothing to the modern player, even the big blokes. He’s a really good player, that’s worked super hard for his chance and is incredibly professional. I’d love him at the Dees.
  7. I really hope the story of that game is the advantage interpretation. There’s absolutely no justification for how that was to the Lions advantage. That was a pure, out and out, mistake by the umpire.
  8. Casboult re-signed with GCS months ago. If you’re going to go to the effort of posting pictures of players you might want to first google their contract situation.
  9. This sounds like a Mad Monday I’d love! The music would be so on point - a mix of union songs and disco bangers.
  10. If this eventuates no club would agree to take on part payment of a players contract ever again. I simply can’t see a world in which the AFL want that to happen.
  11. He has the audacity to ask in that story ‘why journalists aren’t held to account’ for reporting what happened at Gus’ house the next day. He’s a dumb as the come. It’s the journalists that got you off you thick piece of [censored]. You should be sending them flowers.
  12. It’s so weird that in that footage of him having a kick with kids in the park he doesn’t once jump past the ball and ram his shoulder into the head of one of the children rendering him unconscious for 2 minutes. Absolute dog act, sanctioned by the AFL.
  13. He would know what his brother told them they needed to do in 2019 to stay relevant. They instead spent 4 years going nowhere and now have their hand out. They haven’t made a single decision in 5 years to try and be competitive today. Their goal is to stack the future. That the AFL is encouraging it means clubs will continue to do this until told otherwise. I hope it backfires spectacularly.
  14. I’d love for someone in the media, or stats industry, to create a full list of umpires that awarded each weeks votes. I reckon it would make for very enlightening reading, and highlight some interesting biases.
  15. All we need to do is not release the coaches votes every week and bang! We have a much more meaningful award to celebrate at the end of the season.
  16. Best footy supporting day of my life. We just need to get one at the G.
  17. I’ve always been more of an Abel guy.
  18. If my grand final guarantee membership didn’t get me a ticket to the grand final I’d be joining with all the other people who missed out in a class action.
  19. Anyone know any Pies/bears members who can't get tickets? its all over twitter and online news, but I think they just don't understand the tickets don't come for a few days. It's a horribly unjust system regardless. The selling of barcodes for $5.50 to members from teams that didn't even make the game seems the very definition of extortion.
  20. I hear the risk of significant injury is higher at the women’s B&F.
