I didnt think Fogarty's was a suspension, and I feel the same way about Greene's. Both seem to be football actions, and whilst Toby does turn, he launched with eyes on the ball. Given the ruling on Fog, then 1 week seems right for Toby.

Did you agree with the Fogarty decision at the time? (I thought he shouldn't have been sighted as it was a genuine football action)

I can walk and chew gum. Weekend game was great, and our third quarter surge is a positive sign of our fitness. At the same time, our injury concerns are not ideal, and we had almost all of our depth players perform well - this is not something we can bank on. High performance should align with...

Everything worth engaging with...

Strawman bullshit - everything on here has been focused on the soft tissue injuries.

Yeah, agree. This one is definately grey area. Eyes are on the ball the whole time, but he turns his body to brace for contact. Neither GWS incident is worth any more than a fine.

Premiership quarter blues are back

Boyd had a great game, Young really held up well against Hogan and some fantastic glimpses from Carroll. Cripps just a monster, and good on Pitto for such a good game after a lot of criticism on the 2 ruck structure.

If this is consensus, it makes the decision twice as bad. The AFL has maintained that it's a 1 week ban, but he's got off for good behaviour/exceptional character. Absolute horse s**t.

After seeing the injury report, Cerra stays out, but we lack leg speed so: Binns in for Pittonet Lewis Young comes in for Gov (inj) Cowan in for Saad Williams and Kennedy both to put in a bit more midfield time.

No-one champions a pilot for landing a plane, but crash one and you'll find yourselves in the headlines. Its nothing but fair to ask questions on soft-tissue injury management - if we have support to show that the coaches are calling the shots, when the high performance team says otherwise...

Missing the point here - don't think any of the commentary is on contact injuries. The question marks are related to soft tissue injuries, and injuries outside of matches. 3 hammys in a day is a bad outcome and one worthy of some scrutiny. Let's be clear, injuries are going to happen, and if...

In fairness, we werent losing when I bumped it.

Undefeated blues lose their 5th game to an average crows side....and it's all just a little bit of history repeating.

I have nothing, nothing, NOTHING! If I don't have.....Fog

Owies goal wasn't touched

Feels like we've focused on clearances this week, at the expense of defense. Not getting a lot of value out of our tackle pressure. Efficiency inside 50 has been disappointing.

Bumping this one back up. Saad with a Hammy is disappointing. Weiters missed the season opener with a calf. Jack Martin ongoing soft tissue injuries, and now Motlop hasn't been able to get back with a Hammy. As always it is a combination of factors, and it's early in the year. Things like...

Love how he mentioned his basketball background...ticking all the boxes

Potentially limited by sample size, but theres a reason we only did the M&M light blue guernsey once - we lost the free kick count 24-14!!! Still won but...

How did GWS go in 1995 when we were 4-0.....HUH??????

A few additional facts which might influence the conversation: (2023 avg vs 2024 avg (4 game sample for 2024)) P. Cripps has gone from 6.8 clearances a match on average down to 4.5 G. Hewett has doubled his avg from prior year from 3.5 to 7 S. Walsh averaged 3.8 clearances last year S. Docherty...

Whilst its an emotional reaction rather than a logical one - my preference would be to contest the charge in full as per the Van Rooyen contest. Pleading guilty to the lesser charge means he has to concede he wasn't contesting the ball when I don't think that's the case. In some way, Fog came...

My position would be to put forward two consequential challenges to be heard in sequence: a) we disagree with this being a strike - it was a permitted contact under afl rule 18.5.3 which notes "Incidental contact in a Marking contest will be permitted if the Player’s sole objective is to contest...

thats some kangaroo court bullshit right there

Challenge both - make them look like the fools they are.

Have we stopped to consider that perhaps Neale just has a very punchable face?

YES BUT ???
