After watching the replay had to change my votes. There’s no way I could leave Wilmot out. Same with Bez, particularly first half. Also Bails, he was two or three straight kicks and a caught in tackle from being best on ground

Have to disagree. Morris was good against the suns. Had a deft touch in possession and worked hard. Tbh, I thought he was quiet until I watched the replay. It was hard to pick up the no. 13 on tv but he was right in it. Has class. A natural.

Great that you acknowledged Lester’s career in that way. His revival has been amazing. Had him in the votes on Saturday. Given the personnel losses, without his efforts we lose that one I reckon. The way he’s playing, if he was nineteen we’d be saying ‘this kid could be anything.’

What are you talking about?! Lester has been brilliant all year.

More Datsun Martin than Aston Martin these days. No disrespect, age will weary them…

Yeah, weird. You are allowed to knee someone in the head if you’re going for a mark. Your head is confused. It used to be a sacred cow. Now it is a sacrificial lamb.

I rarely watch footy shows. Can’t stand these self-important, swaggering drongos who whip up a controversy over nothing and defend some puerile claim with overweening moral conviction, pumping up an issue as if it were on par with the genocide in Gaza. I happened upon whately and Robinson...

Surprised there’s not more love for Morty tonight. He’s a gun. Amazing development for the kid. Never been dropped and gets better every week. He’s becoming the backline general now. He and Coleman have given the side a different potential. Rarely beaten and reads the play superbly. In my top...

Wilmott is a very intelligent footballer. Even when he hasn’t got it, he’s doing something useful. Great to see him and Zorko doing what you’d expect from kiddy and McKenna. Lester is phenomenal. Does he ever lose a contest? Gets straight on with it too. Creative and provides options every...

Exactly right. This is quantum indeterminacy. Also known as Schrödinger’s Batsman Theory.

Yeah I thought that a bit too. Wonder if he wears contacts.

Re phoebe monahan. I thought that at times in the season too but then she’d surprise me. She played some really important quarters, limited time on the field and gave her all. To make up for lack of speed she kept her feet in contests and made well judged spoils. She’s been a handy player over...

Watched the last quarter again just now. North were cooked. Umpires hurt us for three quarters but boy we got very lucky in the last. I reckon they missed about four frees to north. Our goals were all legit though. If belle had got a goal instead of bre, reckon she’d have got bog. Anderson...

True Grit

Well said. Starc is totally realistic about the nature of the women’s game. Sometimes we look great with ball movement but our real strength is fitness and hardness. We are prepared to play rugby in order to win a game.

I saw him kick five goals in a vfl game once. Haven’t seen many vfl games but he looked great that day. How old is he?

Not round nine, but in general?

Am missing something? Where’s Bre Keoenen?

Being an apprentice is tough. Up at five, exhausted after work, getting across town for training…understandable. Do you know what trade?

Totally agree. In the heat of play, they’d see a flash of yellow and there might be momentary confusion. I’d say it impedes instinctive play on football, especially attacking kicks through the centre from the backline or wings. Also kicking to slight advantage in a marking contest. You need a...

Daks in that last play. Got it over the goal line. And phoebe monahan’s mark, orla’s tackle, some fantastic efforts at the death. And ruby svarc’s smother… such a gutsy win.

Does anyone know what happened to Zimmy Farquarson? I wasn’t paying attention at the start of the year. Lost interest? At best she looked like she could be anything.

Great news on Mullins. She’s made the odd error but she’s got smarts and is precise and fluid by hand and especially foot. With a bigger tank and a bit more muscle she might become a very good player. Cheeky too. Looks like she gives a bit of lip and doesn’t mind a wrestle.

“Not sure if we have much depth who would come in for heslop?” I think it’s one area where we’re actually very well stocked. Dunne and Boltz appear to be locks. You’ve got Koenen, Campbell, Grider and Ellenger, all guns. And Monahan. That’s seven backs , plenty talls and attacking runners (Nat...

Jeez they played some good footy on Saturday. Dunne is getting better by the minute. Ellenger sublime. Anderson used her left foot well. Useful touches from Hampson, postlethwaite, Dakota’s pressure was great. Smart shutdown in the last. Their best is really good. We’re stacked for backs but...

The chicken has landed.

You have a brother? 3DB?

You don’t get anything from Murdoch without paying. Or losing your soul.

Second time as farce
