Hunter, ANB, and even Koz absolutely butcher the ball at times. I know it was raining but FMD, under 40% DE is deplorable.

Been a far too common feature for the past month.

David Zita just confirmed this on Fox. Both Daicos brothers with the flu, scheduled to attend an event tonight but it was cancelled.

Fritsch should have handballed to Chandler. I know he scored, but dribbling it through from 20m when you've got a guy running in for a guaranteed goal isn't the play.

Looks like he's getting back to his best. Stepping tackles with ease like he used to.

He did drop into it a tad but you'd normally see them paid.

Joel Smith contesting very well early.

Agreed. We can't afford to play Hibberd, Bowey, Salem, McVee, Rivers & Brayshaw all through the back-line. Drop one of McVee, Bowey or Hibberd for someone like a Dan Turner or Tomlinson.

Viney at 37% with 7 inside 50s. Great ball use there.

Lever gets taken out by a guy who jumped way early and didn't get the ball - unrealistic attempt?

Viney taking advantage, kicking on his right foot to a 3 on nobody and we still manage to get a goal out of it.

So much for the midfield group stepping up to cover Clarry not being there. Hopeless.

Lever could have bundled the guy over and they might have paid a Port free based on how it was going tbh

We've won a premiership within the past 2 years so tall poppy syndrome applies. Why would the footy media cover it when the majority wouldn't want to watch coverage about how we were hard done by? AFL media will promote whatever angle gets the most clicks. That's their entire business model.

He slipped while trying to kick a ball off the deck in the wet. Your hyperbole is not necessary.

Front on contact doesn't get paid at AO.

They had 3 marks paid in the last quarter that either hit the ground or clearly came off a teammate. 2 within the last 2 minutes.

Please. One was a high tackle in the rain when he is coached to be strong at the contest - completely understandable. I'll assume the other that you're referring to is the 'high contact' free that he gave away when he pushed someone in the chest and they grabbed their chin and went down like they'd been shot.

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1331730/sparrow-offered-one-match-sanction Does anyone know when this occurred in the last quarter? I would love to pull up some vision.

Jeff Gleeson can GAGF, honestly.

If they feel the need to recap the entire hearing, it feels like justification for their BS.

So many guests

"However we also find that a reasonable player would have foreseen that in spoiling the way he did, it would have almost inevitably resulted in a forceful blow to Ballard's head." We're honestly one step away from banning players for injuring themselves. "We also find that a reasonable player would have forseen that in jumping for the ball in the way they did, it would have almost inevitably resulted in them forcefully hitting their head on the ground. We therefore must uphold the decision to ban them for 2 matches."

Challenge the high impact for sure. Just because he went off on a stretcher does not make it high impact. He had no concussion and would likely have walked off had he not apparently felt something in his neck. As soon as the doctor hears that they essentially have to call the stretcher which means he can't come back on the field.

How has Jack Viney of all players not had a tackle?
