The heart beats true

Great points. Thilthorpe is a much bigger body than Jeffo and he goes missing for weeks at AFL level. Playing forward is hard, but developing forward is even harder.

Jon Ralph had the audacity to say tonight that Collingwood must be wondering ‘why them who has to be the test case for accidental collisions?’ No Jon. The person asking why them is Angus Brayshaw. There’s only one innocent party in this whole thing. He’s worked his entire career to be playing right now and he’s not able to play through no fault of his own. The handling of this has really shone a light on the horrific pandering the football media does to the bigger clubs. Ratings doesn’t equal truth, no matter how they try and sell it.

Agree. I wouldn’t want to take Laura on. She’s both a sharp legal operator and the new head of the department. Tough position to be arguing against.

You have to think after watching that the ARC has been told they must make a decision. Insufficient evidence seems to have been taken out of the mix. If only that was the case 5 weeks ago we'd be playing Brisbane tomorrow night at the G. Funny how things have worked against us this year. We can't take a trick.

That was clearly a touched ball by Carlton right? There's no issue here right?

Well at least those score reviews weren't controversial.

This is eerily similar. You can't give up starts in finals.

I don't think Carlton supporters have ever seen an AFL game before. They don't understand the rules.

The ARC makes a call, and they see what nobody else can? How are we still here?

Is that right? It hasn't come up in the commentary.

McKay concussion? They'll be looking for the Port Doctor to oversee the HIA.

Very. They've read the script.

Got a free kick that doesn't get paid in front of goal 99% of the time? Yeah, I want that too.

I believe their still trying to get that 1977 suspension overturned.

Do you do requests WCW? I'd like a banner with me and my dog Lucy on it. Happy to provide all the reference pictures you need 👍

But you just feel that way because you haven't played enough contact sport, remember! 😂 Not saying that tonight are they! Bunch of wannabes looking for any excuse to tell us they once played football. WE DON'T CARE.

We can't win a shoot out. It'll be 12 goals to 10.

I think we are going to play the most contested, combative, ugly brand of footy next week. We will be angry. I like us when we are angry.

That’s where he stores the brown paper bags.

For [censored] sake. There’s only 2 teams who could outnumber us at the G in this final’s campaign and we get them back to back. We’ve had no luck this year at all.

I always find this dumb, from both the league and the players perspective. Warner stuffed that up because he couldn’t run where he normally would. Drop punts after the siren, always.

The intensity in this game needs to go up about 40%. More stoppages. More hard work. More hard bodies smacking into each other.

That’s a week, and now Blakey getting a HIA. Could be more. Terrible.

Well I guess you can’t have everything going for you.

Channel 7 opting for footage of Warwick Capper in the stands instead of the actual game. Meanwhile 80% of Australia has no idea who he is.
