Clearly the so-called selectors just drew names out of a hat. Unbelievable.

Great game from Dougs.

Bit hard to tell from the TV broadcast but it appeared as if he drew the umpire's attention to the fact that he was bleeding which gave the team some extra time to set up for those last few seconds as he wandered off.

Perhaps we need to hire Dangerfield as our advocate when a Saint goes up to the tribunal.

Laura Kane’s explanation of the Scott non-50 metre decision was a thing of beauty

Short kicks from the goal square drive me spare. Surely Corey Enright can set structures in place to deal with long kick-ins.

Seeing the opposition get gift goals regularly from missed short kicks from the goal square are game killers.

I'd be interested to see how that worked. Seems freer up the ground and more comfortable in shooting for goal from range.

Would have been handy on the field for the whole match at that rate of return.

Struggling with the concept that people in the AFL arena are surprised that something like this could (allegedly) happen with the AFL Drugs Policy as it stands.

Will be interesting to see what WADA or whatever the local offshoot is called these days makes of these claims.

From her recent interview by Eddie and his mates it would seem that Laura Kane would be an ideal politician - quite a bit of waffle and a lack of substance in her answers. Still a very reactive organisation the AFL. Despite all their supposed concerns re concussion their week to week interpretations...

Windhager off for the rest of the game apparently according to AFL site.

Yeah, got the bath one too. Who has a bath these days? Shower restoration may have got my attention ... on second thoughts, nah.

Far from a fan of the NRL system. I hope that the AFL does not go down a similar path.

Another of my boyhood idols gone.

RIP Cowboy.

What's being lost here is that if Maynard had time to think about 'bracing' and the ability to brace, then he obviously has time to avoid hitting Brayshaw in the head. Once the footy has gone past Maynard, his instinct tells him he still needs to 'impact the contest'. While in the air he leans his ...

Can't believe the Eagles won but I'm all for it. Go Saints.

It's a conspiracy between the footy gods and the AFL I'm sure :twisted: Expect the usual grovelling apology from the AFL - yep, we got it wrong (again). Goal umpire is banished to the reserves in outback South Australia and all is well. AFL has "solved" the problem. The goal umpire was wel...

Also the decision to pay a mark to a Geelong player after it had bounced off the hands of one of his teammates in front of him .... I suppose AFL is a bit like cricket - the ball didn't touch the ground.

Yes.

If you want to see rock bottom have a look at what happened in the 80's.

Excellent! Never should have been charged in the first place.

All the best to Sandy.

Lost both my parents to multiple myeloma - Mum in 1993 and Dad in 2013. Medicine made some leaps forward between those years but still more needs to be done to defeat this wretched cancer.

Does it mean that there are two outcomes for the same action - if you concuss the person you get several weeks, if they play on with no ill affects you perhaps cop a week or maybe a fine. Now the AFL issue bans based on how much of a glass jaw someone has even though the action was the same. Have I ...

Well done! This place would have melted down if Owens hadn't received the nomination

Brilliant news

As they say timing is everything, so there is some silver lining to Max being hurt this far out. Lenny and co may need to tweak their game plan and it does give the coaches the chance to trial a variety of options before the season starts. Cordy has played up forward with modest success. Don't know ...
