This was our home game, is this a terrible crowd?

Huge game for both teams, yes a school night and apparently trains not working on one line

However surely we could have got this to 35k for a home game

Do the players feel flat when they run out to a vision of empty seats and low noise

Honestly if you want someone to blame, blame the class action cowards asking for a free handout from the AFL. Almost all of these heavily debated player incidents would not be up for discussion 10 years ago if it wasn’t for the AFL being sued left right and centre. The tribunal and Christian are un...

FYI
GWS have only won 2 of last 12 games at Manuka

Let’s ensure that it stays at 2

I think we match up well.

I agree that the ground was difficult to play on and evened up the teams. I reckon that we'd have won quite comfortably at either Docklands or the MCG. BTW, I think we should give great credit to RTB and his team for making some adjustments after quarter time which brought us back into the match. (...

Is it just me, or did the media heap praise on "The battling, undermanned, Tigers", while conveniently ignoring our lengthy list of unavailable players? This is a hangover from last year, when our amazing performances were rarely, if ever, attributed to the ability of our underrated list....

5 Steele
4 Battle
3 hill
1 Roma
1 Sinclair
1 Wilkie

Thought I would give this a bump to ask how the egg is getting cleaned off. Seriously some of the rubbish written here is embarrassing 24 disposals (a goal) at 92% DE, 4 turnovers (whatever they mean), 509 metres gained And by the way it was no free for dropping the ball, Rioli charged in but never ...

5 Steele
4 Ross
3 Hill
2 Marshall
1 Philipou (for a while)

In the words of Curly “a cheat”

Plucked decisions off the ball, seemed to make the call of the last free to them when there was to my eyes nothing

Questions need to be asked

Is not in the form of 2023

Is not holding his marks and getting caught out of position

It’s a worry

Was similar to Plugger and Caven for me. Ran back blindly and ran into a guy leading. Will go to grave saying Plugger did nothing wrong. Almost the most inane comment I have ever read on here. Suggest you go to YouTube and check it out again, Lockett changes direction to collect him and lunges his ...

Still worth the fight though... Fight the fights that are worth fighting. I seriously doubt that contact had the potential to cause injury and that's what we should be arguing. It should have been assessed as low from the start...and we'd accept a fine. [/quote] Both very fair points I hope you are...

I think many of you here need to read this https://resources.afl.com.au/afl/document/2024/03/13/bfe20552-9e6a-4464-88b6-509b31d77ed8/2024-AFL-Tribunal-Guidelines.pdf Firstly, what happened last year(s) is irrelevant, as stated the MRO can ignore their previous deliberations. Secondly in assessing im...

Bad action by an otherwise respected, tough and clean player. 6 weeks but let's not murder the blokes character. He made a mistake and will cop his punishment for it. Hard you would think he pulled an Andrew Gaff by the reactions going around on social media. 10 years ago this a nothing more than a...

Will get 4-5 weeks

and deservedly so

Win 2 of the last 3 and will play finals (according to my ladder predictor)

That would be so great for the entire club

Further to this The Collingwood player who came in with the round arm on Vesely did not even get taken to MRO There was absolutely no difference between that round arm and the one by Hill on Nick Blakey (which got him a week) https://www.afl.com.au/aflw/video/1040558/caseys-crunching-hit-on-saint-en...

Every year we hear the same complaints. We have to remember that the Brownlow Medal is the umpires award. Always has been. Always should be. It's not like we don't have a multitude of other awards. We have: All Australian - Awarded based on position by a panel of "experts" Player MVP - Aw...

Sensational win

5 goal last quarter to come from 20 down at 3/4 time

Pies had no inside 50s in the last

Best win at Moorabbin since 19?

And they were all there.

Tackles getting rewarded, holds getting penalised

Pay them when they are

Is bordering on outrageous

Surely this game could be managed by 2 reasonable umpires and get rid of the mediocre ones

Funny When you ask for diamonds in the rough, a mid gets put up not getting game time because of a 3 a grade mids in front of him, it’s slapped down as a terrible idea. It’s the very definition of a diamond in the rough Wood was injury prone, soft and terribly inconsistent before we got him on the ...

Vale the great Cowboy Was my first favourite player He could make Moorabbin shake when he took off, and all Saints walked taller when he was on the field I had a summer job working in Ballarat in the same store as Val Perovic, (I used to try and get the same tea break so I could quiz him, this was 1...

None of the midfielders he names are anywhere near A Grade (why does the grass always look greener) Paddy Dow has played 6 good games Whopee! So did Luke Dunstan at the end of 2021. He’s played 73 games and been in and out of an ordinary (at times) Carlton Yes he may turn his career around but do we...

I think 8-10 changes is the optimum amount. More than 10 and you are losing too much of your team IP . I would nominate in no particular order as going Campbell Clark Highmore Gresham Connolly That’s 5 And then 3 of those who have never played seniors (don’t have the knowledge of their input) That’s...
