Kiss of Death

Brad Green and team, you have a lot of time driving home tonight to have a long hard think about the direction of the footy club.

Back to MSN… fingers crossed round 2 is a winner

Dee-ath Ride 2025?

Can we get additional ‘your team won on the weekend’ burgers as a result?

Scoops is about as reliable as the McDonalds ice cream machine

Saw a bunch of the Hawks material, a lot of it was pure hokball brainrot - sadly that’s what attracts people these days

Beyond overdue.

“Water is wet” - also Tom Morris

I’m honestly over everything. Trade season used to be a highlight at Demonland - the last few years it’s just an opportunity for the entire football world to knife our supporters repeatedly in the chest, and stain the future season so much that there’s no enjoyment. I haven’t even bothered to visit Demonland very much since we became ineligible for finals. Can’t even go to footy news sites or forums or socials without feeling like being kicked in the chest. Such a change from the euphoria of 2020-2023

Suck it Zorko

Oh wow, I take back my previous statement. Was ironing, looked up and the replay only showed Pearce with the ball and no Paxy 😂

That free is trash

Just like Nibs, I only wish Tomo good luck wherever he goes.

It’s just infuriating. Blind Freddy can see the outcomes in advance, we are paying good money to have our representatives set up our players to fail. Why oh why is Zita advising that Angry Anderson references ‘bumps’ rather than making a strong point about a ‘contest for a ball’, and unless somebody tells me otherwise I have to feel that there wasn’t even any discussion about how the sliding action undertaken by Moore impacted Kozzie’s legs in an illegal manner and actively caused the contact. At the start when the discussion was about how Koz got low at the contest it looked like for once we were going to focus on something that had a chance, but it went nowhere. Again. I would also bet that no discussion was made about at which point the AFL assumed that be needed to apply his additional duty of care when Moore illegally slid into him, and exactly how long he had to respond, and how there was not even time for him to react because he was TRYING TO WIN A CONTEST AND NOT TO BUMP once again, Melbourne loses out, we will have all the imbeciles on Twitter calling him a sniper and dirty and a dog and all the names their pea brains can think of, when he honesty did nothing that would not be expected of every single player in the league by contesting that loose ball. almost guaranteed some keyboard warrior is going to fire off a racial slur on twitter at him again any minute now, and we will have to cross that bridge again. Aaaaaaargh. seriously over it. I’m both angry and disappointed

We just never seen to be prepared for these cases, but who knows - the ‘reporting’ was at the level you’d expect from a year 9 student, maybe between the nonsense there were some real discussions and questions asked

I just don’t get it. AFL states he ran past the ball but both players are next to each other as they approach the ball and the only reason Moore ends up slightly behind Koz is the fact Moore elects to drop to his knees and slides, creating additional drag, is Anderson going to dispute that statement? Is Kozzy supposed to slow down his attack (on the ball, not the player) and not contest it on the off chance that an opponent decides to drop to their knees?

Anderson’s approach to challenging tribunal decisions always feel like a filibuster to me

Not a fan of the snarky updates, very poor form, couldn’t care less about owies

Jake Bowey update, anybody?

Sad to think the only thing I care about for the next week or so (related to footy that is) is the prognosis for Bowey’s knee

This sucks. if it was always his intention to depart since the start of the year, well he has been playing out of his skin and he is going to give us the best value for money in a trade we could get. if it wasn’t, which I feel would be the truth here (hopefully not an ill family member or the baby) then he’s still a premiership hero who helped us win it all a couple of years ago. Bloke always came across as honest and loyal, no matter whether he was the whipping boy of the week

This is the way

Contact grading is wrong, in slow motion it’s even easier to see Koz jumping vertically/away from Soligo (in the direction of the disposal, which gives him the best chance to impact it i.e. the smother was his full intention) Zero concerns or issues from any Crom players at the time, no remonstration afterwards, no medical checks (that I’m aware of) and Soligo played out the game at the same level before and after the incident, glancing blow. it’s a free kick for sure, or a fine at best, but as always Koz is an easy target. I’ll be disappointed if we don’t argue low contact ant the tribunal and even more disappointed if we hire Anderson

Koz no head, crow off to the pub standard

I wish we weren’t one of the teams playing tonight… and the frees weren’t so heavily in our favour
