    I have a Doggies friend in the know who is supremely confident ‘Marra is not going anywhere, he’s a Bulldog for keeps. 

    Oh…whatsa Marra with you friend.

  2. It was evident at the ground that Brisbane spread much faster from the stoppages and their ball movement was efficient and crisp on the follow up. This reminded me of our loss to Essendon last year where we simply couldn't cover the ground quick enough.

    Another observation was that some of our players were struggling to even run off to the bench. On the night they were too good for us.

  3. Good chat, not the technical guru like you guys, just a stat I saw.

    We’ve conceded 100+ points (I guess that’s a metric the statisticians use) 3 times from 2020-2024. Next best is Saints with 9. Regardless, that’s impressive.

    Credit to Goodie in blooding kids.

    We’ve been contending now for 4-5 years and still blooding and developing some exciting young players. It wouldn’t be an easy thing to do, especially where we’ve come from.

    Both arms tied behind my back AND blindfolded… I’d still take down those two sad-sacks without even raising a sweat.

    Note ⬆️ there’s no spaces between the periods in my ellipsis, precisely how it should be. 😉 

    Crickey, this thread has become a little more than UM Rated

  6. Does it really cost 10k challenging the MRO at the tribunal?
    I thought the 10k is charged when clubs go to the appeals board challenging the tribunal’s decision.

  7. If the ball goes out around the 50m line, the ball should be thrown back around that mark.

    I’ve often seen them throw the ball in centrally, often 10 metres away from where it’s gone out.

    No field umpire would have called touched even when vision showed that the ball grazed a hairfollicle of the docker player. No umpire would have noticed that.

    Maybe the AFL can you use this fan’s phone for reviews. Pretty clear the ball deflects when you slow it down, maybe harder during real speed.

    I just watched the Freo dissent decision and I’d like to know what dissent is regarded as now?

     Because if dissent is questioning the umpires decision, that happens in every single quarter of every match I’ve seen this year multiple times.

    Players on the mark constantly dispute decisions… why no dissent? If the umpire calls a mark and the opposition player on the mark says ‘X player touched it’ or ‘that ball was out of bounds’’ for example, that is dissent. Why was Freo called for it when it gets overlooked constantly in all of these other times?

    Have you seen the behind the goals vision BoBo? 
    Clark must’ve given the ump an almighty spray after Cottrell kicked the goal because you can see his teammate in Walker waving his arms telling him to stop.
