Whenever you hear of one umpire paying a heap of frees one way and nothing at all the other way, it's always this grub.

So anyone else notice there were 23k at the mcg for Collingwoods home game?
Is our match next week against then a home game? Should dead set petition a late venue change if it is

He was lazy in that last quarter
I only watched the 2nd half of the game - quite an entertaining game - he played ok in the 3rd qtr - kicked a nice goal
But in the last qtr - unless he was injured - with the game on the line - he gave absolutely nothing - it would be 1-2 possessions - if any - max
Top notch players - irrespective of your point about being comfortable about the money their being paid - have got that real will to win - he had none of that in the last qtr - none whatsoever
Doubt it will happen. Despite already losing 5 I can only see them possibly losing 3 more. May be as few as 1 or 2 more. They aren't done with.

Ah cool, could have been awkward
Holmans 2 weeks for his tackle on Duncan is the worst suspension I’ve ever seen

I'll put it behind Hawkins jumper punches but yeah, 3rd worst
Yep, they've got no clue.
dismiss which charge? The one in the Duncan incident? It's not the club who is laying the charge, so they can't do anything to stop it.
Vdubs
Hall of Famer
Not in May they won't.
It is WIDE open.
Have the Dogs peaked too early?
Can the Demons maintain the rage all year?
Can Tigers regroup and win 4 in 5?
Can Lions make amends for 2020?
Can we get it all together in September?
Is Port trying to peak when it counts?
Can GWS keep winning?
Will WCE become consistent?
Are Swans the real deal?
Sorry? Why on earth would we do that?
And the answer is no, of course not.
Honestly how are you supposed to tackle a bloke who's running full-tilt away from you? There's always a risk he's going to fall forward / get his legs tangled / not be able to brace. FFS it's a contact sport for a reason. There needs to be a better line drawn in regards to what's wreckless and what isn't.
It's actually Can't-stand-ya.

Guidelines on Tackling 2022
1. Wrap arms around the ball carrier, below the neck and above the hips.
2. Prop and lift tacklee off the ground to arrest forward motion.
3. Gently cradle tacklee in your arms.
4. Lay tacklee onto ground like you would your first-born baby into his crib. (cooing lovingly to tacklee is optional)

Big game Melb v Footscray this week
My thinking was Melb were better - because they had beaten higher quality opponents - however i think the Dees have gone off the boil the last 3-4 weeks - starting with their win against Nth Melb down in Tassie - they won but it wasnt impressive . They were stifff against the Crows re umpiring closing stages
Dogs remind me of the Cats of the early 90s - in that they are smashing/annihilating average teams by huge ( 100 pt plus ) margins - it looks impressive - but when they came up against a top notch team ( Rich ) the 2nd half they fell to bits - and Tigers didnt have their best team in - far from it
I reckon this weeks game is all about Melb - can they get their mojo back - and play that impressive football they were playing earlier in the season - where as if they play like they have played in the last 3-4 weeks then they will get beaten easily

Just saw this on the Scandals & Rumours board. "Blood tests conducted on Essendon players were 'interpreted by AFL and ASADA investigators far differently from those at Geelong' during the 2013 supplements scandal". Not sure what to make of that - will be interested to see what comes of it when the book is released on Wednesday.

Sounds like it'll be a ripper read
