As we’re Narrm for the next few rounds can we change the cheer squad to be the Barmy Narrmy? 😁

What I struggle with - which fans are these “optics” appealing to? Cause all us nuffies are spewing that JVR has been offered a suspension for competing the footy. if the AFL is concerned about parents not wanting their kids to get hit in the head then we’ve got a problem. It’s a contact sport, you can’t insure against accidents.

There were times in yesterdays coverage where the footy wasn’t in-shot so I took the intermittent replays as part of the overall [censored]-ness of the broadcast. Clearly the AFL don’t put any quality standard conditions into the broadcast rights contracts because what’s being dished up by Fox for the 2nd & 3rd tiers games is complete trash. What did annoy me was the ridiculous discussion around the JVR contest. It was clumsy and a free kick was rightly paid. That the commentary team then spent the injury time looking for controversy was extremely irritating. The media & their need to inflate stories is what I find exhausting about footy.

Someone check on Kane Cornes

Comben went down right in front of us. What I thought was the sound of the contest wasn’t 😬 not a pretty sight This may be hyper critical but it felt like the North staff took ages to recognise how injured he was and call for the stretcher. Here’s to his recovery.

Yelling at each other is May & Lever’s love language

Not really footy related but when I saw her it reminded me. Last week when Abbie Holmes was on my Dad asked what were the marks across her face. I had to explain it was make up 😂

That’s so kind of you - the kid would’ve loved the footy.

I’m a sook and on big games like last night I can’t handle being totally surrounded by opposition fans in the AFL members. But next week against North will be paradise 😁

I normally sit in the AFL members but tonight was sitting on the ground level of the Olympic stand and it was actioned packed At 3/4 several supporters near me stood up to yell at the Richmond clowns in the next bay. There were some swear words dropped but in the scheme of footy crowds it was very tame. Late primary school age kid sitting in my row starts crying from the rowdiness & their dad gets into a verbal with the yelling supporters. Proceeds to threaten the guy which only made the kid cry more. next week I’m going back to the AFL members where no one cares what happens 😁

Whatever they are they stress me out

This is repeating the hundreds of other comments but Dogga has a lot of developing to do. Fremantle are paying a hell of a lot for potential.

My Dad was told by his grandmother that he wasn't allowed to have Big Bob Johnson as a favourite player as Big Bob was Catholic!

Grew up & live in the West and you get the Bulldogs shoved down your throat (which is why I can't stand them). Nothing worse than going to the Western Oval and being surrounded by them 😁.

Saying ludicrous things about the team and/or players is part of the experience of watching. All you can do is look back and laugh.

It was a great win but the 50 point margin makes it looks easier than it was. Sydney are a tough side & got our lead back to 6 points - was a great effort to push away from them and take a big win. Very happy with Grundy’s efforts today. And Rivers was very strong, good to see.

The one Viney kick that hit a target was his last of the day - and it was on his right foot 😂

Hahahaha, I called him a lizard at some point today

I’d been trying to ignore it but can’t anymore

I’m starting to worry Sparrow doesn’t have another level

Just got into bed to discover the cat had spewed all over it. I think he’d seen the clearance differential.

If there was a man capable of not thinking too deeply about criticism, Dogga is that man 😂 As many others in this thread have said, Fremantle have paid a LOT for potential and will need to be patient. Jackson is still learning his ruck craft & is not a clean mark (always two grabs). Time will tell.

Considering all the concussion talk going on at the moment Pickett is lucky to get 2 weeks, the AFL loves nothing more than taking a stand on the issue of the week. Cop the 2 weeks and move on.

And Langdon on the MCC wing 😱

Can’t articulate this well but I cannot stand the ‘serious & concerned’ tone the likes of Taylor and other commentators use when a serious injury occurs. One second they’re complete buffoons and the next they’re patronising the audience explaining that a serious injury is serious.
