Petty didn't even play four quarters of the VFL Scratch match and was relatively statless against a team that went 0-18 last year. Not sure he's quite ready

Agree it will have to be something like that but what a mess. Imagine the arguments over whether that final section of byes should be alternated/random or fixed. Remember the AFL loves to manufacture tension not to mention blockbusters and if you get rid of the pre-finals bye you have the issue of teams playing interstate.

Agree but then again I'm a start in April guy and 17 rounds. I've certainly not witnessed a great fan demand for more games. Still waiting for the AFL to explain how the season will work when we have 19 teams. Sure you have a rolling bye for 18 weeks but then you need multiple byes in the last 3/4 weeks to even up game numbers. The ladder will become impossible. I'm not adverse to a pre-season under 23 comp or similar using some VFL players to make up numbers

I'm overseas so I've not had the chance. Pity me on WatchAFL at 720p Watch for the ball in the air. Can you see it clearly in the long shots?

My guess is JUH will command 6 years at roughly $1.2M Could even be offered 10 years but without kickers I doubt he would take it. The incoming Tasmanian team will completely skew the market in so many ways It will be okay for the Dogs. Like when Hogan left us they'll get two first rounders and with luck they'll pick up a key back which they desperately need

Brisbane's big problem is the Suns. In two team cities the norm is for one to be up and the other down. Lions play the Suns twice... lose both and top 4 becomes hard. Same for Swans and GWS

I assumed he got rubbed out for kicking the guy in the shins from the video

Lever's disposal has never been one of his strengths. Kicks the ball in a rainbow trajectory I'm surprised we don't have a player running by for the handball.

A poster yesterday used the name "Pork Barrel Park". I quite like that

Obvious from training reports that BBB has a light program. If we can get him up for next week that would be great I see the weather is dry and 23/24 which is not too bad

Jack Billings has only once had more than the 20 kicks he has today. The last time he had more than ten score involvements was in Round 4, 2021 with the former Saint having a big impact today for Melbourne. From the AFL site

Was expecting a tough last quarter in the heat ... but wow Very nice

Could and perhaps should have been a day out for Fritsch

That's a win guys Thanks everyone... now to back it up against the Hawks

I'm feeling calmer

Didn't need that !!

One more at least needed methinks

Got to get the goal to behind ratio to 2:1 We're at 1:1... just makes it too hard

Chandler definitely having a good day Come on a few more and it's game over

Would be nice to break away I miss Clint Biskit's 26 point zone of indecision

Could well be BBB with 2 is great

Ahead on all the key stats Forward entry is the usual failure but the Dogs backline is their weakest spot so we might be on

Could be a long year

GWS probably should have another 5 goals and with North's accuracy it could have been a 70 point win

GWS just cannot draw a crowd
