Umps are actually so ****ed in this hawks game, two arm chops in their forward 50 ignored and a high block deep in defence ignored. Umpires have kept them in this game should be 3 goals up.

I see nothing different to most matches:

arm chops let go (mostly)
late scragging on the mark to hold up play - let go - now a practiced strategy
push in the back is dead
if tackled - ball pinned or not - just flop and it will be a ball up- attrempting to dpose of the ball is high risk as mostly penalised - I thought we were trying to open up the game.
 
Mostly the weather.

It’s overcast, damp and cold (by Brisbane standards) and winter is coming. The type of weather that depresses everyone here.

Football is a winter sport though, yeah?

Story on our board, on the club podcast hosted by Rayner and McCluggage, they said that during Gather Round, Witho showed up at our hotel, jumped on (probably Rayner’s) bed, and didn’t leave. Room was packed apparently. (Would have been Hipwood, Berry, McCluggage, Rayner, Witherden etc. as those boys are incredibly tight as a group)


There was a fair bit of angst amongst quite a few of our supporters in regards to Witho’s departure.

Probably asking them what it feels like to win a game.

Why do they not play Rayner in the middle? This guy is nearly the best in the AFL in heavy traffic?

And why didn't you guys get Ross Lyon this season?

Despite the hate from our board, Witho is having a good season.
 
ANZAC match repercussion day.


Both Essendon and Collingwood are on 5 day breaks, against rivals with two or more additional days of rest.

As the Covid-affected 2020 season demonstrated so well, such matches have resulted in wins to the better rested team over 84% of the time since 2015.
  • Essendon - vs Geelong (-3 days break)
  • Collingwood - vs Adelaide (-2 days break and interstate travel)

Expect Geelong for a 12+ goal win against the Bombers and the Crows to pull off an "upset" despite being priced at 2.27 to win today.
 
Just had a look at Kanye Cornes teeing off on Clarko. When I watch the footage of North, I see the Clarko/Simmo "corale and intercept" game plan that de-prioritises contested ball.

North will be lucky to win another game this year and Clarko will be lucky not to end up a Malthouse/Pagan/Blight.
 
Watching Dangerfield dominate at his age is what I assume that we were hoping with Shuey and Yeo. Would love it if Culley and Ginbey can be those big bodied mid types in the future.
Dangerfields body has hung together surprisngly well considering his explosive abilities.
