The heart beats true

Collingwood’s desire to get the ball to Daicos is logical, but it can be exploited by the right side.

Snap! 😂

That’s his head.

I’d love to see a graph of momentum shifts in games tracked to show forward half free kicks. Nobody wants to talk about it but forward half frees are worth their weight in gold, and decide far too many games.

Surprisingly they didn’t name him.

The bulldogs back 6 isn’t exactly stacked with quality key defenders. I hope Brown is fit because that’s where we have a clear advantage. Jones has to go to him, freeing up JVR for a big size advantage. C’mon Dees!

This is doing nothing to give me confidence in the AFL’s ability to separate its financial desires from the outcomes of games.

Umpires got the memo

Next weeks Collingwood Vs Sydney game will be fascinating.

Agree. Every thread ends up being the same. As a result I find myself engaging less with this site - which is a shame.

Gees that’s a horror show from Brisbane.

I’ll explain it to you. Grundy was the only ruckman picked for the 6 rounds Max didn’t play last year, and he was very average. He was dominated by Essendon, and it was embarrassing. He showed none of the agility or presence he showed last night. He then got annoyed by lack of rucking options when Gawn was available, and didn’t offer enough around the ground. I’ve heard he made himself unavailable for us in the finals, as he wanted out. He’s a good player, but he brought none of the necessary intensity required for us last year. That’s not the clubs fault. Trying to blame Gawn for it seems like an odd thing to do to our best player of the last decade.

We get it SWYL. You don’t like the coach.

Let’s not forget early in the year last year we looked terrible in the northern states playing in humid conditions. It’s not our go. stick together.

Oh please. He didn’t turn in one effort half as good for us. That’s not anyone’s fault but his.

I can’t stand the media orchestrating the AFL’s agenda. Why no replay of the ANB touched goal? It’s a huge call, show it.

Yeah, this is proof the AFL don’t think things through. 2 teams built on defence. Just what the casual fan doesn’t want. And all because they are too busy worrying about what the NRL is doing, instead of focusing on their own product.

Was that touched ?

I believe Sydney are wearing arm bands for Jesse Baird and Luke Davies who were murdered a few weeks ago. Jesse was an AFL goal umpire.

I’ve fallen out of love with footy.

Insider trading?

This is so bad that it’s absolutely brilliant.

You’ve really got to applaud his professionalism and work ethic. Didn’t get his shot until 23, looked good at the level, gets a season ending injury, delisted, does absolutely everything he can to keep at it, and gets another shot. I’ll be cheering extra hard for Marty this year. I love these kinds of stories. It’s good for footy.

What era were you on the board RL?
