They don't 'have' to keep it in but the rule is written expressly to encourage players to keep the football in play.

I kinda like the rules that encourage this. And hawthorn is playing in a way where we tend to flick it around a bit near the goals and get it into Amon's or D'Ambrosio's hand as a preferred option to just rushing it at every chance. I think that's how the game should be played.

But honestly - how ridiculous is it that the Essendon player deliberately ran over the line expecting to be tackled, and wasn't tackled, and instead the Geelong player was hopping up and down in a crucifix pose?

Both players were acting in the exact opposite direction of how things should go. I can't believe the Geelong players are escaping media criticism here. Absolutely pathetic to not tackle or chase in preference of getting a free kick on a technicality. They should be absolutely embarrassed but instead received a goal as a reward.

I have seen players with arms out appealing for insufficient intent when a ball is headed for the line and an opponent running past them and collecting the ball

really putting the north in north melbourne lol

North poised to take over Dees Alice Springs game and Suns 2 x Darwin games after their Hobart deal expires next season.

With works happening at York Park in 12 - 18 months, it wouldn't surprise me if we split our 4 x Tas games between Launceston and Hobart in 26/27.

Going from strength to strenght at the Sainters

Season over for Saints spearhead after serious knee injury

St Kilda has suffered a massive blow with Max King to miss the remainder of the 2024 season

This with rumours of them extending the deal to King, to make him one of their highest paid, despite his injuries and inconsistent form.

Surely a few players are starting to see the writing on the wall for this season at least...

I'm sorry Hodgey but Bucks by a mile. Goes to show how far out of favour Bucks is with the Collingwood faithful, they managed to get a pretty commanding win by Fly in the best coach voting.

How the hell Richo is second is beyond me.
But of those, Bucks is the best.

 

[Sixpence]

Yeh, I'd say Bucks, then Hodge. Jack Reiwoldt isn't too bad either.

Did only Brisbane fans vote? Only way Hodge got any votes.

Richo is likeable and that's about it. Offers no insight, no analysis, and never wants to criticise anyone. Basically there to say "yeah I like this kid" and tell you what arc a player has when lining up for goal.

Majority of footy followers are idiots, that’s why.

They’ve also voted BT as one of the best commentators alongside Brayshaw.

 

[Billyc]

Buckley by a mile. Jack Riewoldt next best.

Hodge isn't great to be honest. I think Lewis is better than him of the old hawks.

Jobe Watson the worst of the current bunch. A few concussions too many I suspect.

Just come across the airways that our former charge Ned Long is going to debut for Collingwood Friday night.

Getting a game based on injuries at Collingwood

Couldn’t we have kept him instead of Cooper Stephens ?

 

[StillAtLarge]

I hope Long does well. A former Hawk helping to sink Essendon would make my Friday. Can't see the Pies winning though

The rest is opinion based, Kingy uses data hence my favourite. He’s the best at it but he gets into trouble making predictions. Should just stick to factual data backed analysis.
