The umpires didn't even award a freekick.Except the umpires wouldn't have known that Heeney was going to be suspended for that incident when they did their votes.

very good point. I wonder if that actually happens.Can’t have a change mid race. If Heeney can take votes from n daicos in rd 1 he must be able to take votes from Bont in a fortnight

Looking forward to the commentators on GF brining up that point in the pre-show and giving all the supporters the chills.very good point. I wonder if that actually happens.
Regardless I have no simpathy for the Swannywobbles who make GF's and lose most of them by a fair margin (Except 06) . 1996, 2006, 2014, 2016, 2022. Won 2 of their last 7 GF appearences. No one calls them chokers.
I'll be hoping they reverse that trend if they play The Scum!!very good point. I wonder if that actually happens.

That's just in their Sydney days! South Melbourne lost the last 4 GFs they played, making it 2 wins and 9 losses for the club (Sydney/South Melbourne) from their last 11 GF appearances (5 wins/13 losses in total).very good point. I wonder if that actually happens.

Bucks practically ruled out coaching next year on radio this morning.
But can anyone see him replacing Hinkley and the Prodigal Son returns to Port Adelaide.

Means he'd have to live in Adelaide - that's probably the major obstacleIf he did return port would be most likely place imo.
So Bucks, a 51 year old man, takes a high pressure job in another state to be near his parents? Away from his teenage sons? I'd be more shocked if he gave up his well paid, cushy, stress free media jobs & moved away from his boys.Agree
His folks have moved back there so that might hold a little sway.

He gets paid well in the media, don't worry about that. No stress. And gets to hear his own voice all day. It's the perfect job for Bucks.I’m guessing he’d get paid around 3x or 4x what he’s getting now if he did take on a senior coaching gig.
Not saying money is everything, or that he would need it, but it something to think about.

I don't know why anyone thinks coaching is a sought after job. They're mostly treated appallingly & look like broken men when eventually sacked from their jobs.
He's never coached away from Collingwood, whilst there are plenty of experienced assistant coaches out there who would have the hunger & ambition, I would have thought.
This is what he said two years ago. Which would make his sons 17 and 15 now.So Bucks, a 51 year old man, takes a high pressure job in another state to be near his parents? Away from his teenage sons?

I don't like players copping 3 week suspensions for perfectly executed tackles.I think the players have done an awesome job of adjusting the way they tackle.
Agree, how Nick could have been deemed to have prior opportunity when he was kneeling on the ground and picked up the ball in one hand as the other arm was incapacitated - it's one thing to know the rules, it's another thing to have a feel for the game. Sadly it seems that umpires are trained and graded based on knowledge and not understanding.It's essentially what the AFL has been telling us is one of the legal ways to tackle .. make sure one arm is free. No wonder everyone's confused.
Why would you bother tackling or go in for the ball & be tackled when the whistle is blown before you're given any prior? It's no real surprise more players are just kicking it off the ground lately.
So did I...but it's essentially what the AFL has been telling us is one of the legal ways to tackle .. make sure one arm is free. No wonder everyone's confused.I thought the tackle on Nick Daicos on Friday night was a chicken wing tackle?
