THIS It really grinds my gears that the 'big' Victorian clubs have been protected from playing down there for years while we have to front up every year. The argument about crowd size is void because barely anyone non-Geelong can get in down there. Geelong gets an armchair ride and the big clubs get protected from playing at a ground where the home team have an obvious advantage. Imagine scheduling Richmond to play down there. If Hardwick the germ can't handle Docklands his head would explode at the thought of the hour drive.

I was at the ground and in my area it was about three Essendon supporters for every Demon. Within the first five minutes they were squealing and it only got worse. Too me it was over the top but consistent for the Essendon crowd over the last 30 years. They are supreme whingers.

The AFL are the ones meddling with the rules and constantly forcing the umpires to change their interpretation of said rules. Yet the AFL don't want to invest in making the umpires professionals. Moral of the story - who would want to be an umpire.

So proud of the club for this initiative and for our connection to Santa Teresa.

I’m old school, Fristch should be dropped for his pathetic defensive efforts (and this issue isnt isolated to the Adelaide game) & general selfishness. Not sure he will be though. Jordon needs a spell. He’s been great but his output has been dropping & he needs a rest. But if Melksham’s foot is sore Jordon might stay in the side. And sadly, the man we all love, Jetta, is done.

All the votes to Oliver. The second half was ridiculous. Insane. Thought Gawn & Trac made uncharacteristic mistakes but also think they are quality types who will take those mistakes and learn.

And in all this hype about Kosi how come we don't hear more about how he's ridiculously good looking? ?

What about changing the definition to 'reasonable prior opportunity'? It adds more grey but it gives the ball player an option to attempt win the ball and it allows for the tackler to be rewarded. Players like Martin already seem to get a longer buffer of 'reasonable prior' than the rest of the AFL - maybe open that version up to the rest of the players ?. Maybe the issue isn't the rule, it's the fact the interpretation of it keeps changing. The umpires have an impossible job.

From his first game I've been in football love with Clarry. He's a gun and does not get enough credit from our supporters.

Always defend the honour of women? Nah don’t love that. If men cared about the honour of ALL women maybe, but that’s not the case. Do we think Bolton or Rioli would step in if they saw some random girl being harassed? Not likely. This is about ownership. They should’ve just walked away.

8-0 and I still cannot get over the lack of love Oliver gets from the demonland crew. Loved Tmac & May’s game and impressed with Jordon.

Don't forget Chad. They named their sons Kane and Chad ?

Agree - Bailey was the victim of our hot mess of a board. He was treated badly.

The way Howe left always left a bad taste. He was a sook who didn't want to play in the backline of a rubbish side and then was a jerk about a club that had given him a chance. Think of all the smashings someone like Colin Garland put up with, he had the fortitude to keep going. Of those who left in that era - Frawley, Rivers etc - I was wishing them well. But Howe acted like a clown.

Same, it was right in front of my seats. We must be MCG neighbors ✌️

Did anyone else notice the huge hit Viney took in the last 30 seconds of Q2? It was a massive contest, Viney took a huge hit and the crowd collectively winced. He was down for a long time (Viney-wise) afterwards and it took some time for him to walk off the ground. I thought for sure he's cracked some ribs but he was back out in the second half. Viney is insane but you have to love him.

Please delete this post - Norm Smith's angry spirit can read it ?

Have to disagree with the assessment of Oliver’s game

We all love Nev but have to accept that’s he’s getting near the end.

Andrew looks an exciting prospect - it's great to see talented Sudo kids moving through the ranks.

The fact you're nuffing out over a woman president talking about equality is proof enough. Just because you dont experience or see gender inequality in your own life doesnt mean it doesnt happen.

Karen Paxman is a superstar. Also enjoyed how much her mullet upset the sooks of the 7AFL Facebook page.

On Saturday night I was sitting 5 rows behind our bench and was watching to see what Williams was doing. There were three clear occasions where I did notice him yelling out to Clarry, Brayshaw & Pickett. Clarry was after a contest where he found space and took the option to kick into our forward line (Q3). Gus was after he laid a good shepherd (Q4), and Kosi...I can't remember ?. Clarry and Gus' effort both resulted in goals. These examples make up exactly 1% of what Chocco is doing so I'm drawing no conclusions other than to say they might be some of the players he's focusing on.

THIS Trac is fantastic but he's had one good season. Clarry has been consistent since 2017. They are two different beasts, but it amazes how the posters on this site are blinded by Trac's flashier efforts and rate these over the consistency of Oliver.

I don’t want my footy club or its supporter groups hosting functions at a men’s only members club. It’s the year 2021. What you call virtue signalling is simply people trying to do better. We know better, so let’s do better.
