not meaningless at all. home ground means we don't have to wear white shorts ? And of course Brisbane can still end up 1 or 2 ?

AFL site still showing tickets available for Richmond v Collingwood this afternoon. Amazing drop in crowds even considering the form of the two clubs.

This is a seriously big game for MFC Go Saints !

didn't know that but just found a report on the circumstances.. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-great-rex-hunts-onair-blow-up-ends-his-return-to-radio/news-story/c2764e2e6250140aef37290b141be2f7

Not sure if Joel will be on our list next year. Could be saved for depth. Probably the same with Baker but he could possibly go in search of game time at another club. Mitch Brown... I don't really know if he'll go around again. Weideman didn't do enough today to worry the selectors. Not many VFL games left for a number to stake their claims.

Just ask yourself if this were Collingwood vying for a top 4 spot. The trip to Darwin is far worse than a trip to Perth as is the impact the week after. In so many ways the AFL does us no favours.

okay I thought without starring

No one smashed the door down in that game from an AFL selection perspective. Category 1 . (Would consider) Melksham Category 2. (Keep it up) Sparrow Baker and AVB (just) Category 3 ( Neutral) Weid Chandler Bedford Bradtke is starting to look like a footballer

6. Petracca 5. Gawn 4. May 3. Lever 2. Pickett 1. Jordon with aplogies to several

You've got to be kidding I thought we had said goodbye to the Darwin disaster

can someone please explain how we a team on top of the ladder lost to Adelaide ?

Just cannot undertand how Bombers v Crows rates a Friday night. Last roll of the dice perhaps for the Bombers but it's not that enthralling for the neutral supporter.

heard that... they gave a year too.. was it 1979? I started racking my brain because I felt ashamed that I could not place him as a player

It's the style of commentary. Not that many years ago Australian racing commentators were praised for their rapid fire commentary and ability to cover a field multiple times in a race by comparison to the slower style used in other countries. Similarly radio football commentators practised their crescendo style of call and tried to outdo each other on the comparative excitement stakes when describing a mark. Don't get me started on Rex Hunt. The trouble was these styles while great for radio were then taken to television but they forgot we can actually see what is happening and therefore don't need the bledding obvious explained to us. English soccer commentary is more to my style but the game admittedly at most times moves at a different pace. Frankly I'm not sure where the balance is but I know that the "excitement meter" needs to be dialled back a little. Of course in this day and age there is ampletechnological scope for an alternative commentary. As an aside when watching tennis I have the commentary off as they add so little. Would like to hear the "thwack" of the ball though.

I see the ground is a mere stones throw from Aldi. Will they have special cheese platters available? Their 8 year old Scotch is not a bad drop actually. That Geelong road is not the most pleasant drive though these days. Not sure if I'll head along. Weather is looking fine but chilly.

Time now for some serious thinking Top 4 looking strong for us Cats to win and Lions to lose would be a good outcome. A loss by both would be better. A lions win with a Cats loss might not be great in the longer term

Whatever method is being used to practice shots from the pocket..... change it

starting to feel optimistic...

the first one or two would be nice... goals that is

19 scoring shots to 12... why o why

35 minutes in and we give up a goal !!

Agree very much. While fully dosed will become important the more first jabs the better. 60% first dose coverage for 60-70 year olds is pathetic

It's tough Singapore have been trying to wipe it out with some rather heavy restrictions for well over a month now. It's improving and they're now down from 30 plus cases a day to single digits and of course they're around 40% vaccinated.

Great to hear. Have my second AZ jab booked for 3 weeks time. Just got notice from the clinic that my appontment had been moved forward by two hours to almost first thing. I suspect that they are getting nowhere near enough bookings to justify a half day or more so they're bunching them first up. Hope that it's not people cancelling their second dose. That would be really dumb.

You would be "mad" to plan to play in Sydney for at least four weeks. Perhaps base them in Wangaratta and Mildura in the meantime. Would be a great boost for regional Victoria. More likely they'll head to Queensland.
