How was it ‘worse’?

Butler tried to roll Blakey so that he didn’t faceplant.

Why is it that when our players go up before the tribunal, their testimony is ignored and thugs like Maynard, Richmond's Tom Lynch and Geelong's Dangerfield are believed? Gleeson (tribunal chair) gobbled up everything Danger told him. The fact that Danger pinned both arms and Sam Walsh's velocity an...

Shouldn't have been suspended. Walsh threw his head into the ground trying to win a free kick. So many players do it now. I can't stand Dangerfield, but he did nothing wrong in this instance. I disagree that Walsh 'threw' his head ... Dangerfield pinned both arms and Walsh couldn't brace or stop th...

If LDU wants to come to us, we shouldn't be giving up anyone. Especially one of our best players

Angus McClennan - gone Ben Paton - 50/50 Sharman - keep Butler - keep Keelor - gone Hayes - gone Van Es - 50/50 Webster - gone Battle - we want but he will go Stocker - 50/50 Wood - keep Allison - gone Heath - keep Hotton - gone Byrnes - 50/50 Ross - gone Membrey - gone Campbell - 50/50 Jones - gon...

Looks like Patrick Dangerfield will be cleared by the tribunal and they'll overturn the charge tomorrow The head is sacrosanct. Players have a duty of care....But if you're a star of the game with powerful friends, you're more likely to get off :x I heard Gerard Whateley pushing the narrative that D...

If anyone was watching the GWS vs Sydney match, there was an incident with less than one minute left on the clock until the final siren. Jesse Hogan was awarded a free kick on the goal line, virtually at the point directly in front of one of the goal posts. The free kick was for deliberately runnin...

And if people think Max should be 'protected' and stay out of the ruck because it's too physical....then maybe Max should change careers and do basketball or swimming as his preferred sport. We're not talking about asking him to get in a boxing ring, or to go from playing Aussie rules to playing Ru...

I think Geelong's issues are deep and they're looking at the end of an era for sure. They relied on a powerful midfield and strengths all over the ground. Teams know now that they can match the 2024 Geelong midfield and they can beat them, so that isn't opposition teams main concern One of their mai...

So where are the saints? Lobb is a small fix for now. He will keep one of Caminiti Hayes or Sharman out of the team. Stop one or more of the developing. . Is Lobb part of our.next premiership team? I don't think so. Can he teach or lead. I don't believe so Therefore he is a list clogger. Not going ...

Amartey has been used as a ruckman. Check his stats and his player profile. He's also played as a defender in the NEAFL. The whole idea about playing talls in different positions is to help them develop their overall game. We've used Mich Owens and Anthony Caminiti in the ruck. Why shouldn't King be...

How about this .... for next time Windy clearly drifted 2-3m over the spot where Logan Morris marked the footy. Windy wasn't his direct opponent. If it was a case of the defender wanting to get back to help out, well bad luck. It should have been Morris's direct opponent (Battle or Shooey or whoever...

We used to develop talent really well 125 years ago

Your memory is off. Collingwood kicked 3 of the first 4 goals of the match

Half time scores St Kilda 6.2 Coll. 7.4

It's embarrassing stuff when you get a Hall of Famer up on stage telling the audience last night that they're confused watching the game these days.

It's awful 'on the run stuff' as Yorkeys and others have said. Incompetent and weak leadership

The tribunal is not much better, Let Butters off on what was a clear case of striking. He actually punced Greene on the chin. Keeps Port Power in the hunt to be competitive this year. They need at least one Adelaide club to compete in finals, seeing's though the Crows season is shot. $$$$$$$ it's a...

Annoys me that our coaches don't do what other coaches do. That is...favour your own players no matter the result. Win or lose, Sinclair played an outstanding game Sincs - 32 disposals at 78% DE. Plus 4 clearances Dorko - 30 disposals at 76% DE. Zero clearances Dorks had 9 score involvements and 1 ...

It's interesting with Caminiti going to defence. It probably means he won't be the 2nd ruck option. I reckon if Max King doesn't start crashing packs consistently and if he doesn't show Ross Lyon that he's the number 1 tall rooster in that forward line then Ross will be forced to play him as the 2nd...

No because we're getting Weitering... remember

I've changed my mind Not worth it. We already have a player who can fulfil the role. At less than half of what Lobb wants Caminiti's stats are similar and he's young and raw. Plenty of upside. The Hammer is a competitor. https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=...

The AFL are a bit like CURLY. They want to discuss one or two incidents and ignore every other free and non free and totally ignore all the correct decisions made in a game Ross Lyon was upset that the AFL decided to provide commentary on the Max King free because it's unnecessary...not because they...

As Ross Lyon said, you can't isolate 1 free kick and make a judgement call on it. There are countless decisions. IF you want to assess one free, then assess them ALL. The AFL need to run a spread sheet on each and EVERY FREE paid or free NOT PAID that looked 50/50 and was called play on. Same with e...
