The heart beats true

Saad just tries to kick the ball as far as he can. He never looks

Carlton remind me of Melbourne circa 2017. We’d dominate games but constantly looked rushed and nervous. The skills are horrific.

How are we expected to believe that an elite athlete is that consistently clumsy? He gritted his teeth as he drags his hand across his face. It’s [censored].

Hawkins ‘accidentally’ poking players in the eye for the 30th time in his career.

Cerra has made a laughably bad start to this game. 2 horrible mistakes.

Look, it’s easy to be bitter and cynical about Hawthorn supporters… but who knew it would also be so much fun!

@Sir Why You Little on Saturday night I went with my parents who have some mobility issues. We got an Uber from Wellington Parade after the game across from the 7/11. There’s a ramp up over the station so it’s accessible the whole way.

I just watched a different angle of the incident and Koz straight away but both his hands up and said ‘sorry mate’ to Smith. Smith got up and gave him a tap to let him know he’s ok, and all is good. He knew straight away it was wrong. This is why he’s not challenging it. He can’t say he didn’t think there was anything in it when he apologised immediately.

Hey Sue. I have a reserved seat in MM, which is right at the back in bay M 53 and very much undercover. I can guarantee you that unless it’s Anzac or Queens Birthday you’ll be able to move back further undercover if you get wet (which I don’t think you will anyways) There was 3 empty rows in front of us on Saturday night.

We haven’t had a history of standing up for ourselves, and it made no difference in September 2021. Didn’t seem too trampled on then. Let it go. For all we know Koz made the decision and the club supported him. We have much bigger fish to fry in 2023.

Just on this I watched the handshakes at the end of the game and there wasn’t a lot of love between Hunter and his former teammates. Was very interesting.

And did you hear Paxy call out the Demon Army on Saturday night for not having a giant face of her? Paging @WalkingCivilWar

If you’re already a club member Layzie, and purely an AFL fan, then it’s more cost effective to go month to month on Kayo. Sign up now, pay for April - August, and then cancel in September as all finals are live on FTA. That’ll cost you about $150 to watch literally every game in the season. Then spend the money you saved buying a Flanket…

Great to see Dom Tyson. He gave his heart to the club during a pretty bleak period, and then was forced out by the calibre of players who’d see us forward. He always gave everything and I’m glad the club invited him to be involved.

I’ll give you a real world example… One driver doesn’t indicate when turning and hits another driver, causing a concussion. Another person is caught driving at 140 in a 60 zone with a blood alcohol level of 1.2. One crime is punished for what it did, and another for what it could do. Different crimes, different punishments.

I get that people are disappointed about the suspension, but I don’t think anyone wants someone jumping into Gawn, Oliver or Tracc like that. The ball is gone, and Koz chooses to bump. He leaves the ground and turns his body in a deliberate act to use his upper back like a missile. He’s an amazing player, but he really did the wrong thing. In the context of our season I’m just glad he didn’t knock Smith out - as he could have got 4-6 weeks. We are lucky that didn’t happen, because Koz had no control over his body once it left the ground with that much force. That’s what the suspension is about. And it’s got nothing to do with Franklin. It’s like trying to compare jail terms for assault and theft. Different crimes, and circumstances.

The problem for Dogga is that with us he could play on potential for another 2 years and do some nice things occasionally. Freo feel like they paid a lot for him now, so they want results now. I still think he’s gunna be a gun, but they won’t get consistent value until 2025.

As they say about the court system - it’s not a court of justice, it’s a court of law.

You’ve all got your red and blue glasses on here. You can’t leave the ground and choose to bump, let alone when the ball is out of the area. I love Koz, but that was a really dumb thing to do.

2 weeks seems about right. It was really obvious at the ground that it was a reckless action. You can’t use your body like a missile, especially after the ball has been cleared of the area. I actually felt like he knew it was bad, and he’d get weeks. He seemed to play like he who owed something to his teammates after that.

How good is the footy! Went with the family. First game for my dad in 4 years. Boys played really well. I just loved it.

Gees you’d be furious if you gave up so much draft capital for Tim Kelly. Struggle to be in the top 120 players in the comp.

He’s an absolute gun. His field kicking is unbelievable. I legitimately expect him to be tagged every week now. You can’t allow a player to have 20 effective kicks across half back and through the middle, let alone one that has that much skill. He caught teams off guard with his age, but they’ll come with a plan for him now. If they don’t he’ll be the difference in games.

One swallow doesn’t make a spring. Geelong are entitled to back in their system from ‘22 again this year because (like us before them) it won them the flag the year before. Collingwood’s game plan gives you 2 things: A lot of look’s because they have to go fast down the middle, which leaves them very open on rebound, and One tempo. Geelong tried to match them at their game. Slow the ball down. Keep it off them. Teams aren’t going to let Daicos run around the back all year. He’s the guy that sets them up. I expect he’ll be roughed up and sat on a lot more. Let’s see how other coaches test them. I doubt many will want a shoot out.

Scott thought he could beat them in a shoot out. Next time they play you can bet they’ll play that horrible slow keeping’s off stuff instead.
