The heart beats true

Wow. This umpiring is insane.

I read today that Hinkley has coached Port for 12 seasons and in that time they’ve never, in any season: Had a winning record against top 4 teams, and Only had ONE season with a winning record against other top 8 teams. The very definition of downhill skiers.

It’s called a ‘love tap’, and because they let Pendlebury do it every player in the comp can now do it every week. Good job AFL. Nailed it.

Interesting article on AFL.com about the metrics the Eagles use to measure their players, and how it played into them resting Reid this week. Anyone know any more about how this stuff is measured, and what it means for someone like Windsor? I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s given a rest soon.

Ironically his full name is Easton Bobby Harris Bingers.

Brisbane look a mess. Something isn’t right there.

Anyone got a theory about what side winning this GWS/Brisbane game is better for the Dees? I think Giants win is better, as I think it makes it too hard for Brisbane.

They both lost! I’m thrilled.

Nick Cox’s disposal has directly resulted in 3 Collingwood goals.

That’ll be the highlight of Ben McKay’s career.

Stringer does the impossible well, and the expected terribly.

McKay is worth pick 3 apparently. 😂

Essendon will get done from here. This is what they do.

He’s just writing ‘Get Hirdy back’ over and over again.

My favourite thing about Anzac Day is that a team I hate always lose.

I found Maysie’s interview post game such an interesting example of modern day coaching. He said that at half time Goodwin had a laugh with them about how bad the kicking had been, and told them to improve their fundamentals. 15 years go that was screaming, and fire and brimstone.

He was just Clayton. He’s a bit of a left of centre thinker, and he’s honest, almost to a fault. He’s been handling himself extremely well, and I think he should be really proud of himself. Just because people are different doesn’t mean we should question everything they say and do. He’s not a robot, and that’s why he’s so valuable.

I love Jesse. I have a lot of admiration for his journey, and wish him nothing but success after all he’s had to overcome at such a young age. But a player should get a week for that.

2 from 8. On Saturday night I was literally 0-6.

I think my 11 year old niece has designed Cam Zurhaar’s tattoos.

It takes 2 parties to make a relationship work.

Brereton is the most patronising commentator. He’s just so condescending.

This gets overlooked a lot. Carlton give up good scores to everyone. They statistically smack teams at the contest, yet still leak big scores. Their next month will tell us a lot about them.

If you think that win looks bad now, wait until 2030 when McKercher is back playing in Tassie, and Reid is winning Brownlow’s.

The GWS V Brisbane game on Anzac Day could just about be the end of Brisbane this year. Long way back from 2-5.
