They did very early in the coverage show it and mentioned it.

Kudos to the cheer squad donning the GUS helmets

I’m not sure who the resident ruck expert is on the podcast. Grundy seemed to use a new and unusual tactic against Gawn in the centre ruck taps. The tactic was to take all the space away by almost running to initiate contact immediately. I wonder if this was to negate the new stiff arm rule, so max couldn’t push out and hold him away? Presumably other rucks will watch this, how can Max negate this tactic in the future?

6&11 are in that awkward range where you have a fair idea of which teams would select which players but no certainty. Did they draft order play out as expected or were there some surprises? It did look on the coverage, that the crows were genuinely shocked and happy to get curtain trading up to GWS pick.

Random question, clearly national draft picks can be traded, can you trade PSD picks?

Great Summary. Would be interesting to include ages in brackets next to each name. Given Tasmania entering the comp in a few years, with us being in the window right now, balancing the list to contend, but also have enough new talent for the future is an interesting conundrum.

Melbourne supporter, come premiership player. In his prime at 27. No player is perfect, I get players have limitations but at his best can offer something. Its a no from me if a 2nd or 3rd rounder is the only offer, would rather keep, unless he wants to leave, in which case I would honour his wishes.

Does your model predict a total number of votes for Melbourne? who have you got coming second for Melbourne out of interest? Actually I found your report, it’s bloody amazing!!!

Fatigue.

If we are Brave and take the game on - we win. If we are behind and move the ball slowly - it’s 50/50. I’m happy to slow it down with a 4-5 goal buffer, turn it into a grind. Get it done.

The AFLW is and should be marketed to promote the “suburban” feel of footy. What makes it attractive is the more intimate feeling of local grounds, where it’s encouraged to bring a seat, kick a footy, have a picnic rug if room permits.

What’s the fine for a run-thru (banner) with a few choice words on it. Reckon we could get a pretty good go fund me going to cover any costs :.)

Did you see the steam coming out of Jacks ears. I’m incredibly proud of the restraint he showed, to not get rubbed out himself, that was true leadership by Jack. If that was the grand final I can’t tell you what sort of carnage would have ensued….

Referring to one of @binman indicators of the key indicators for a premiership, being injuries, are we boned?

That is a very confronting photo. My initial reaction at the time of the incident was to turn to my wife and say his poor mum.

We got this.

Lightning, I hope the weather doesn’t destroy a great game of football

Who are the bulls, the contested beasts in this team, they are all outside players. If Jack cares hopefully this fuels him even more because he has been a man possesed this year.

Saw her speak on AFL 360, thought she was very eloquent and spoke well. Seemed more down to earth, hopefully that’s a good sign.

No injuries please!

Have I missed the point here? The top 4 teams that loose in the first week, will end up with a longer break for the games the following weekend, which is the shorter turn around. Given the first week has a bye isn’t that better for the top 4 teams than getting the shorter turn around first?

Couldn’t agree more - my daughter and I were discussing this point and the only logical reason to win is an FU to somebody at the eagles.

West coast are trying real hard to blow the number one pick anyway. Fancy nearly winning a game at this end of the season. I don’t understand the math, but maybe North should have some mystery injuries and try and lose by 100 pts in the next few weeks, it’s only percentage between the two.

Looks like the cheersquad had front row seats for some of the plays of the day. That first goal by Kozzie sublime. Another favourite was Kozzie breaking the ankles of Ziebell, basketball style…

But no ads siren to siren….
