The heart beats true

It’s amazing how much wet weather footy is purely about effort.

How does GMHBA look so atrocious when every single Victorian has contributed $400 to it? What are we paying for?

What’s the plan for tonight’s game as a Demons fan? Do we want Geelong brought down, or the Dogs kept out?

Ginnivan is such a smart [censored]. Giving it to the Collingwood cheer squad. It’s brilliant theatre.

Justice for Brayden is coming after that.

I thought you turned the TV off? 🤣

Wow

Do either of these teams know it’s not first to 100? I mean, you are allowed to defend.

They played on and kicked it into the post, and the umpiring called it back and said no advantage. Unlike last years grand final decision that cost Brisbane a flag. But you know. The umpiring has never been better.

Umpiring. Thats 3 goals from free kicks this quarter.

Sorry, spoke too soon. It’s started already.

I have no doubt the umpiring in the last 15 minutes of this game will be completely different to what we’ve seen so far.

Crows look to be playing man on man all over the ground. It’s a revolutionary game plan.

Crows have figured something out here about Essendon from kick ins.

He’s the Aldi Fritta.

I can’t imagine the crowdstrike outage will impact the game tonight. Every week the MCG staff let anyone wander in and sit wherever, so it’ll just be business as usual.

Does Kane Cornes have disproportionately tall ears?

Aside from the obvious frustration about Mac, I gotta say it’s really good to hear from those seeing the tangible benefits of these talent pathways. Its obviously a difficult story to tell from the clubs perspective, as they are trying to give the public the information they want about AFL players and plans. So when you don’t hear almost anything about them it’s hard to know if the plan is working as intended. It’s nice to hear it is. The AFL should never have changed the rules in the first place. They should be doing everything they can to encourage these pathways.

I was at the footy with my dad when he kicked 11.8 against North. He was a freak. Credit to the @demonland crew for securing the interview with the great man a few years back too. It was a brilliant listen.

If I had 6 All Australian jackets and counting, and was one of the greatest ever players to pull on the red and blue I’d have a sizeable ego too, yet I don’t think that was ever the issue.

Yep, he went straight off. He was really shaken up. It was actually hard to watch.

Maybe I should have said inexperienced. I reckon they are looking ok. Their game plan is better suited to Marvel, but that makes sense. Scott is a smart operator.

This makes me so happy. Haircut. LOL.

Explain this to me Nathan Willamson. How is this not the purest 50 metre penalty you’ve ever seen? The umpiring in the last quarter is currently like watching a different game. IMG_0135-compressed.mov

I was talking to one of their supporters on the train home and I said I think they are definitely moving in the right direction. As much as I hate to say it Scott has them being a much more accountable team, and it will really help their young guys development.
