The heart beats true

Honestly, how could you not love this.

I just said to my TV ‘youse are class Melbourne’. Honestly this team is just hyper competitive.

You missed Goodwin 🤪

Everything going against us. Still fighting back. Gees I love this team.

That is a sensational tackle from Nibbla

I have a huge amount of respect for Jake Melksham.

This has the stench of the AFL doing everything they can to get a final played in Sydney.

ARC now taking 2 minutes to make a decision. 🤬

I like this from Adelaide. Don’t give the AFL an easy out.

I’m genuinely shocked that twice tonight people have used that word on this forum. I expect better.

Ted Clohesy. First gamer for Geelong.

Jon Ralph is very confidently reporting we’ll play Thursday night. If we get a concussion tomorrow I will literally riot Monday morning at AFL HQ.

Job Watson sounds like he’s auditioning for a finals gig. Lots of metaphors and explaining the obvious.

Brisbane are so wobbly in a close game

For me the coach that laid this out perfectly for the AFL world to see is Adam Simpson. Cleary there’s been no incentive to win, but the moment he got word the board was going to get rid of him he started to flood players behind the ball and tried to defend. His win was the ultimate F U to his employer. He was obviously doing the right thing by the club, but when they turned on him he repaid the favour.

AFL really nailing this floating draw.

Is the DA trolling Demonland, and every team in the comp, and going to run with a huge banner that reads… ’Loading.’

Fritta confirmed to play this weekend by Goodwin in his Thursday media conference. Excellent news.

It’s hard for the AFL to make an argument for the ‘integrity of selection’ when you look at whose being rested by teams outside of the 8 this week. They should implement a draft lottery, or implement a system where a limited amount of changes are able to me made each week over the last 4 rounds. They do it with rotations, and they can easily do it with team selection. This weeks footy is a joke. I’m particularly annoyed at Geelong. They waffle on about the importance to their supporters of playing down there, and then scrap half the team for this weeks home game because it doesn’t suit them. It’s really poor.

Yes, but what if Simon’s x amount of years is 15, and we win 4 flags in that time?

My eye twitched like Mark Neeld when I read this.

I’d argue it’s obvious why it didn’t work. Neither Gawn nor Grundy contributed anything substantial in the forward line. If either of them did it would have worked.

I like Goodwin, but he’s a poor man’s Albert Chadwick.

I see a lot of ‘we need a big key forward’, but not a lot of available names in this thread. There’s what you want, and then there’s what you can get.

That’s a fascinating point. Swans have had some absolute rolled gold gifts this year.
