The heart beats true

It doesn’t help that North are a VFL team.

Essendon being second on the ladder only highlights the absurdity of the draw. I just counted 8 teams I’d currently pick to beat them if they played next week.

Thats wild! I would never have thought that looking at it online. I guess the umpire got it right.

I think that’s what happened. That’s not even close to having run too far, especially in the modern game. Thats a clear, critical mistake from the umpire. I’d say he didn’t see his first bounce. I don’t understand the point of 4 umpires if one of them can’t over turn that. I don’t blame the umpire for making a mistake. He couldn’t see the bounce. I thought that was the point of the other 3.

Listening to Fox talk about Collingwood is insufferable. I can’t stand the pandering to big clubs. Just call the game.

It’s an interesting point Richo keeps making about the Swans. They’ve had 17 players play every game. At the top injuries are the deciding factor come crunch time.

That’s the thing. They kicked every goal going forward in that first quarter. I know it’s a constant source of frustration here, but on expected score we won that game by 20+ points.

Carlton look dead on their feet.

Surely that was a recalled bounce? Umpiring basics continue to be a problem

It’s frustrating to watch Sydney do the one thing we couldn’t early last week. Find a way to kick a goal.

Sydney’s defence look too small.

Cripps throws the ball.* *Just getting in early.

The Giants game is at GMHBA. I didn’t realise that. I think they’ll win that down there with the talent they have coming back in. God I hate what an advantage that ground is.

And Sydney at the SCG 2 weeks after, before the bye. I think they’ll struggle to win either of those, and turn 8-5.

I used to be very judgemental about what young men did with their hair, but now I just think ‘do it all young man. One day you’ll have very few options’.

He’ll still give his 5 coaches votes to Gryan Miers.

It’s a different game up there. The local boys handling the ball like it’s not the cake of soap that Geelong are playing with. I think a Darwin side is a nightmare for the Vic teams.

I don’t reckon Scott will need another meeting with the umpires after this. They’ve sent him a clear message.

Holding the game up for a score review to be completed. If only that was a rule last week! 🤬

The Suns in Darwin is a tough draw. Couldn’t happen to a better team.

There’s still time!

Ben Keays is such an honest footballer. He just tries so hard.

The 6-6-6 warning is the dumbest rule. We have no other warning in the game, let alone one when the players are given :30 seconds minimum to get in the right place.

Harmesy on fire!

Just found the story. That’s [censored] crazy.
