With 8.03 left in 2nd Quarter, Chol runs up behind Max and lifts his knee, hitting Max in the back.

We know he hit May and he also got JVR high with a knee in a ruck contest.

This knee first type of play is more than coincidence imo.

 

Has been noticed in previous games because he takes speccies a lot, and has a habit of getting to contests late.

There is a good case to have no umpires at all. Just let the players decide what is and isn't fair.

They seem to know what is and isn't fair, quicker than umpires at most stops, ball ups and free kicks,

he left the ground to contest the ball. then i’m the air realised he wouldn’t get it. what can he do in the air?

Duty of care not adhered to, because he took his eye off the ball at the last two seconds, and went to the player to brace for contact, with shoulder.

It actually happens quite a lot, but some protagonists  get better treatment than others.

Note all the above, and the fella i thought was good was Howes. His job will be invaluable next couple of weeks

I'm one of the ones who think that Petty is fine to have in but the chap i would like in   to really  mix up our forward line is Melksham.

I didn't get all the pre season talk about Crows being contenders.

They may get up tonight but they don't look convincing to me.

I agree. Petty will get pretty buggered running up and down each end

To all the statisticians here, I'm just wondering if a team has comeback from zero and four to win a flag? (Hoping very much for the lions on their home turf next Thursday, to crush the filth).

Thanks. And if they have, what is the magic number thus far, required for this  exclusion?

Let's not forget that the Pies were a good side last year but hardly a spectacular one. Good start to the season but tired significantly towards the end and then just scraped through ALL their finals.

I was at that game but a long, long way from the Harmes incident as we were seated in the top deck behind the Punt Road goals at the opposite end of the MCG.

Let me say without hesitation, without doubt and unequivocally that I can absolutely, cross my heart, 100% guarantee that by that late stage of the game I was so drunk I couldn't even see the other end of the ground but can confirm that indeed it was definitely a legitimate goal.

You must have been in the same school as me, because i was very close to there.

Smacca is ok. Shmacca sounds too much like Schmakos, for which dogs go wacko, apparently. 

Any good to use "Shack" as in Shane McAdam

It meant that the 'team' began to anticipate, make space, find space, provide good alternatives; McV did kick well, too, looking for links within a potential, longer chain.

If he wasn't before, Schache really is a break glass option going forward. 

In the VFL, i would put him on the toughest, meanest player in the opposition EVERY WEEK, rain hail or shine, until the penny dropped.

Dogs are a good side.

But I think that we can all agree that the Swans are very good.

Especially at home.

It was a good win in sweltering conditions.

With some key players back in form.

I'm excited enough.

I reckon in a month we will know who to lock down from their runners. Kossie would have been a difference, maybe not to win but it would be closer.

Amazing how hope, faith and expectation return after a win. After pretending to be detached from footy and behaving like a wise and sensible adult trying to get through the Freud series on net flix ) I am reading DL, looking at stats and generally behaving like an excited kid. My Collingwood supporting wife already has head in hands and using profane language to describe my elevated mood. Amazing what an emotional game this is, and how irrational is our loyalty, prejudices and thought process.. 

No more church for me for another month now.

Great win. Slowly grinded the dogs down. Clear and conscious effort for most of the game to lower the eyes and change angles, was great to watch. Several examples of selfless footy on display e.g Oliver and Kozzy could of rightly gone for a goal late in the game but lowered eyes and delivered to someone closer to goal that resulted in goals kicked. Considering there were a lot of shoddy decisions go against us for most of the game to win by 45 was a great effort, reckon umpires gave them 3 or 4 goals. 

The numbers of Yellow shirts to watch were 32 and 2, so far. Number 32 did the Richmond game, which cost them severely, along with the other one Number 2. Number 32 did our Game up until he lost the plot and cost us a goal when he called play on inexplicably, and then wasn't sighted again.

Kozzy is 0 from 60 in his career. Needs to retire the moty attempts. His attempts usually mean there are no crumbers and the ball exits our 50 most times

Just in case no one had noticed , but oppositions generally poo themselves when the ball goes within  ten metres of him.

Tomlinson wanted to leave last year but Goodwin told him in his review that he was a required player.  He was filthy when he got dropped last yr after his best game in the red and the blue. 

How do you get to sit in on Reviews? Everyone gets filthy when they are dropped.
