Didn’t we have no undefeated teams by round 4 last year as well?
Yep. Best last year was Port Adelaide who won their first three then lost to Essendon in round 4.

Carlton will not stand for this historical ridiculousness!If Carlton win today, then that would mean by the end of round 4 every single team has at least won one game and lost one game. The last time that happened at the end of round 4 was back in 1997.
S Stack seems too good to be true coming in as if he has played top level for years. Ram rod hard at the ball all day long. Really love it.Yeah. I wanted Ross, Balta, Baker all playing from Round 1. Even Bolton. None played Round 2 and our midfield looked too small, Nank had no support ruck and our small forwards looked lazy. Keep them in. Stack is a ripper. He was rated top 20 talent and we got him for free. Won’t get into trouble living at Dimmas
You’re taking what I wrote a little to literally and there is no need to insult me either! It’s just the way I see it and many other see it that way too, you see it differently and that’s fine. It is a messy game at the moment at times but that doesn’t me I don’t understand how the games evolved to the way it is. Coaches and player can be a little more adventurous through rather than just kicking the ball around backwards looking for a loose man.
Anyone leading the tipping knows nothing about AFL
Every ******* year - usually between rounds 3 and 10, the season is declared ‘the most even ever!’
It’s like mass amnesia hits everyone and suddenly we have to pretend that middle of the road sides winning a few games (as they do) equates to them being some kind of ‘contender’.
Stop it.
At the end of the H&A there will be at most 4 sides that have any chance to actually win the flag, probably less.

Bolton is a must to stay in imo, we need his physical specs. I also see butler and george being quickly superceded, if not aleady.
Yeah when the fork did they introduce a prior opportunity for incorrect disposal? Because I've heard a few umps tell players there was no prior on the incorrect disposal...wtf.
Its incorrect disposal not holding the ball. The rule might as well not exist now so many players get away with simply dropping the ball in a tackle its not funny.
Actually if you look closer (and I'm assuming you're talking about a player in a tackle in traffic who drops the ball because of the tackle) if the ball hits the foot or anywhere below the knee then it's a disposal. Even if accidental it's ruled as disposed legally.
Yeah looks shit I know but how do we police what is and what isn't an intended disposal?
So that's why we have what looks like (and probably should be) incorrect disposal when in fact it is.
Also the umpire 2 weeks ago had his mic on and a player appealed for the free for incorrect disposal and he clearly stated back no there was no prior opportunity (not he got an innocuous kick away or the ball was knocked out).
Yes - that's the rule.
Nah mate, A)Its often not knocked out in tackle B) i do watch closely players are blatantly dropping it and no lower leg contact made period.

Yeah since when? Got a link to the rule? Prior opportunity on incorrect disposal what Galah thought that up?
For all intents and purposes...For all intensive purposes that is pretty accurate, unless you are just casting nustersions
Holding the football - Prior Opportunity/No Prior Opportunity
- (a) Where the field Umpire is satisfied that a Player in possession of the football:
- (i) has had a prior opportunity to dispose of the football, the field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against that Player if the Player does not Correctly Dispose of the football immediately when they are Correctly Tackled;
- (ii) has not had a prior opportunity to dispose of the football, the field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against that Player if, upon being Correctly Tackled, the Player does not Correctly Dispose or genuinely attempt to Correctly Dispose of the football after being given a reasonable opportunity to do so.
If you haven't had prior any attempt to get rid of the ball will be called play on no matter if it is correct disposal or not.
