Moat pundits would probably have us finishing bottom 4 after 4 rounds. A bit to unpack there. Firstly, what do students of a protective barrier of water surrounding a castle know about footy? Secondly, you'd have us down with Hawthorn, North, and West Coast? Richmond, Adelaide, Gold Coast, and Esse...

Greene will provide a massive headache, as usual. I'd be inclined to play Stocker on him. He's the toughest of our small defenders, and Greene likes to physically intimidate his opponents with his dirty little cheap shots. I'd be stunned if Wilkie doesn't play on Greene. Toby averages 10.27 points ...

...GWS who right now have to be raging red hot favourites for the flag. Why? For their meritorious wins over North, West Coast, and Gold Coast? They've only beaten Collingwood...And we've done that, too. Melbourne's form is much better. Yes, they lost to Sydney, but they've beaten the Dogs, and bot...

Finlayson is, essentially, charged with either: Intentional Conduct, High Impact, and High Contact Intentional Conduct, Severe Impact, and Body Contact Careless Conduct, Severe Impact, and High Contact That seems excessive for me given that Clarko copped a fine and a two week suspension (suspended) ...

It is at Marvel and we are listed as the away team in that game. Surely, we're the home team as we were the away team on Sunday for Gather Round? Unless my maths is out, there are 25 rounds (0 through 24). Every team team has two byes, so we all play 23 games (up 1 from last season). That means that...

We beat Collingwood off a 5 day break after a tough game at Geelong.

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....

Injuries are a part of footy - and games Not sure why Concussion is any different What if you have 2 concussions or 3 concussions Should we have 2 or 3 subs Concussion is the only injury where we have a rule that prevents a player from returning to the field. Yes...We should have unlimited subs for...

Unless we can get a Key Defender from another club we are in strife then, AFL standard Key Defenders over 197cm, in feeder comps, almost don't exist and draft watchers are saying there aren't many Key Position players on offer in the 2024 draft. Melbourne do all right with a 193cm bull at Full Back...

I won’t be wrong - this current list will NOT win the flag I’ll be happy to play finals Agreed...We are not even top 4 material...at the moment. Brisbane, Melbourne, Collingwood, GWS, Sydney, and Carlton all way above us. We are fighting with Essendon, Bulldogs, Geelong, Port, and Gold Coast for th...

The whole sub idea is stupid It’ll be canned again in the next few years - it’s unnecessary I get it for a concussion, and that was the original intent. But not for any other injury. If a player has some tightness in a muscle, they can go and stand in the forward line, or players can play with some...

Ross is a very intelligent man and his analytic approach to the process smacks of professionalism.. His determination for a flag is summed up nicely at the end of the interview. I personally am confident we have the right man , some on here bag me for it , blind faith etc, that's ok i've seen many ...

Couldn't comprehend Boner had over 1000 meters gained against Bombers, don't think I've seen that before. Surely he couldn't possibly kick it back to the opposition 17 times ever again. Not sure Schoemaker replaces Boner, but he could replace Cordy, who I reckon is an ordinary footballer. Pity we'v...

So - Parish pushing Windy had no bearing on his attack on the football None at all. Windy still had plenty of time to take another course of action. Are we gun shy because we lost the King decision? Wouldn't think so, but we do lose $10k every time we challenge and fail. This is bulltish - and I ho...

You can all sook it up as much as you like, but I bet London to a brick that if Durham got Windy in the same way, you'd all be OK with the one game suspension.
Totally avoidable act by Windy.

Windhager isn’t trying to hit him though. He’s trying to avoid him .

Which is why it is graded as careless and not intentional.

Fair enough. Can't really argue this one. Hand in your membership You can gleefully pull your head in...There is no way that we'll challenge this. If someone with better video capture skills than me, freeze the vision at around 3 seconds and post the image? Durham clearly has his head over the foot...

That is just factually incorrect.

CURLY wrote: ↑Sun 31 Mar 2024 5:53pm Tackle???

Durham dived head first low into on coming traffic. Windhager turns to avoid his legs being taken out.

Come on, Curly. That's just plain wrong. Durham did not dive at all. Only went to ground, post contact.
Anyway...You do you and keep on farting at thunder!

You can’t be serious

Isn't it tiring playing the victim every week?

Windhager rubbed out. f*** you AFL That one was worse than King's one last week as the potential to cause damage was there. Really, really silly act by Windy. Durham has his head over the ball and Windy just chose to bump. He tried to avoid ffs or his legs would have been taken out. Dangerous by Du...
