We give away 1-2 frees every week for high contact on a player who is already on the ground holding the ball. Beats me why they keep doing it, but you might see it as a a skill error. I can’t remember the last time we gained a free for the same offence.

Crowd boosted by large numbers of Crows fans. Almost outnumbered on the train home.

Saints by 15

I thought the Lonie free was most fortunate but against that 2 contentious decisions late in the second quarter cost us two goals. The dropped mark awarded to the Hawks resulting in a goal and the 50m penalty against Brown for being a few centimetres over the mark which seemed very technical. Also ...

Sums it up, unfortunately

Acres is a class act both in winning the ball and his usage He has been used running the wings from full back to full forward - however I would like to see him in the “guts”, not running wing patterns The one area for improvement, given his size, is his overhead marking which I would like to see a ...

Next up, Gary Lineker

Picking up quick players with hamstring problems has worked well so far, so why not?

Relentless pressure, win the ball in the middle, stop Martin from getting a kick.

Just like we did to them last year.

We have beaten the premiers in the H&W season on plenty of occasions.

Carlton at Waverley 1995 was the best I can remember

Super player.

Thanks to bigred for making me see the light!

Cringeworthy, isn’t he?! And, apparently, we all love Bucks. Made me splutter “hero worshipping creep” at the tv.

Same.

Incredible, isn’t it?

good on him, but it doesn't sit well that a player not quite good enough to ever make AA is ahead of greats like hayes, lockett, baldock, and equal with harvs. Different players in different era's & different team's so it's very difficult to compare & Jack would be the first to admit he is ...

Loads of young men in Melbourne scarves around town this week. You’d think they’d won the thing.

Not sure that AR can turn this around, but I also doubt that anyone could. Apologies for bringing up the EPL, but I’m a lifelong Evertonian and we have been similarly underperforming for the last couple of seasons (well, decades really). While we now have a decent manager, at last, we have also got ...

Always enigmatic.

Would burst on to the scene at the beginning of the game and then disappear for the rest of it. Really looked like a player when he was visible.

Shame he didn’t make it but it just wasn’t to be.

The players’ response to his goal against North was a fair indication that this was his last game.

Good career at St Kilda after coming from a rugby league background

One of our better players in his final game, which is a real worry

Thanks for all your efforts, Sam

Acres was a real up and comer. Now seems slow of thought and movement, and has a ridiculous number of kicks smothered

Barry Pascoe was a super player.

Worst ever trade was Ian Stewart for Bill Barrot. Barrot was a star for Richmond. Played 2 games for us while Stewart won another Brownlow.

Billings is a very good player, and would be regarded as a gun if he sorted out his goal kicking. He will sort that out. Exactly the type of player we should retain because of his skills - we have too few players in that group. A good side would be getting it to him more often to use his skills. He...

After being much the better team...... Let’s see whether can come back from this

Billings doing nicely
