Terrible turnover as a result of over handball

Jefferson out ?

Time for some fireworks today With 3 or 4 extras heading west next week there's not many rounds remaining for the fringe players to show their worth

Amazing.. well done guys

Will be interesting to see how the second half goes. I'm still scarred from our final quarter against the Lions

Disposal numbers almost even. We were 30 disposals down 20 mins into the first quarter

We lost the arm wrestle Come on Dees

Thank you...

And..... Is that not the norm

Disposals 75-45 their way.... Oh well you get a better draft pick at 12th

Going to be a hard slog

Equalisation has finally come. To me the anyone can win scenario is a little boring. The season lacks the natural ebb and flow that dominance of say five plus five teams deliver. You need some easy wins to break up the pattern. Eventually the home and away becomes a blur where luck and injuries deliver you a round 23 outcome

More like a bob each way. If we can't come home with a wet sail finishing below Hawthorn gets us that little bit higher in the draft

Getting serious on the Tamar Go Hawks

Just noticed that the Hawks v Freo game was in Launceston. A Hawks win would do us no harm

If you do the simple sums on the AFL rights alone (presently about $700M per year) Kayo needs 2 million subscribers at $30 per month for the whole 12 months. Add in another 1.5million to cover the NRL costs. (You need more to cover running costs and other content). Australia has just under 10M households. Accordingly you need a penetration rate of between 35 and 50%. That's bordering on the impossible. Sure you can have a loss leader but eventually the numbers have to stack up. (Advertising perhaps... tripling the subscription price etc) Each year the AFL heavies go to USA and get the lowdown on how the NRL maximise their revenue and bring those lessons home. Something has to give eventually. BTW... How long will Kayo agree to pay over 60% of the current deal in return for exclusivity only on the graveyard games

Sam W at CHB .... interesting

If you think we can go on a winning streak you want Collingwood to win by around 25 points and MFC to win by 30. That would probably see us overtake both Collingwood and Geelong

Funny you should say that as India's cricket team was sponsored by an online tutoring company. Can't recall their name but the product itself was fascinating

Good point but betting ads will go the same way as tobacco and liquor ads in the next five years. Who will pay then

Last week Petty was injured.

4-5 weeks ago he was definitely trending but injury seems to have slowed him. His big plus if he can get it working is his below the knees follow up work. Dare I call him a poor man's Luke J

You have to agree Fullarton is NQR but hopefully this gives him the impetus to try for next week. I have no idea how we are going to organise the ruckwork

Formula 1 TV is probably the best example of streamed sport . Multiple camera angles, the ability to follow individual drivers, impressive data etc Unfortunately you can't get it in Australia

Has not been a decent comp since covid. It's a glorified training run. For the non aligned clubs it makes a little more sense but I've lost interest.
