I had my doubts about Parf but he’s strung together a good patch. Really loved how he straight lined it through ball ups tonight, got it going our way even if he didn’t always get a disposal. I love seeing how different players go in the wet. Stengle is freakishly skilled, handled it...

I can see him becoming captain one day

Nothing like an 18 year old bump. I’ve been on a bit of a Divinyls binge after not listening to them much at all previously. This guy wrote some really cool stuff with Chrissy I think, some interesting progressions, note choices and rhythmic accents in few songs. Even the seemingly fairly...

Pleased to see Parf impacting all game so far. Really hope he continues in the last.

Thanks for posting this Seeds. Although I’ve been on on this site for over 15 years I don’t post a hell of a lot, but I do very much enjoy quietly reading the contributions of everyone. And Fred was one of the posters I always noticed, he seemed like an intelligent, articulate guy and was never...

A gutsy win, the pressure was great early. Geez Stewart is so good, it’s absurd how much he can control a game. I’m not even sure the commentators notice some of the stuff he does. We know about his intercept marking but he’s so strong, quick & balanced he can break or take a tackle and deliver...

I wonder if there’s anything hidden in the Devil logo. I doubt it.

You won’t watch this but you should. That’s his peak for me.

To follow on from some of the tripe in here, Chauvin only has himself to blame for being stabbed. If he’d only not killed a defenceless George Floyd on camera, he could have avoided being stabbed.

I was chatting to an old fella there in western Victoria, old Harold Delaney, and he told me that them indigenous people already get $40 billion spent on them every year. Turns out old Harold’s source was Kamahl, indirectly. Now I don’t know if old Harold & Kamahl are right or wrong but there is...

Well we’ll never know now will we?

Interesting looking at the stats outside of the inner city from polling areas in Victoria, some areas with relatively high migrant levels voted yes at higher than the state result. Clayton, Box Hill, Springvale, Sunshine were all above 50%. Glen Waverley & Oakleigh around 50%. Some at the...

They were just ok yesterday as some have said with a few missed or incorrect like always. The Markov 50 stood out as it actually lead to a goal, it’s hard to gauge intent but Markov didn’t seem to be trying to do anything sneaky, just coming back to the mark. Frampton should have been 50...

It’s certainly a skill to know when to try and take possession, take on a tackler or just accept the tackle & cause a stoppage vs when to knock it on or get it off quickly to a teammate. I thought the Pies actually didn’t do this as quite well as they usually do today. Mihochek stood once or...

I stopped playing drinking games through this finals series on how often they would would say “listen to the crowd if he kicks this/they’ll lift the roof off”, or “player x is built for finals”, or “look at this highly skilled individual” before the player actually executes a skill, because I’m...

That’s a good point also. The 50 frees is also important - a couple of debatable frees paid we can live with when they are actually paying frees & following some sort of standard for the game. There were 128 tackles in the Pies Giants game - only 24 frees! Not sure how many were on the full or...

I’m nearly 50 JJ, a lot of those those old games are all online to see if you want to take a look. Personally I blame the people who whinged relentlessly about ‘staging’ for frees, complaining about players diving forward for in the back or ducking for high frees, for some of this massive over...

I’m not sure too many people understand just how few frees they are paying compared to 20, 30, 40 years ago. We have 4 umpires and they are missing more than ever, it’s the poorest standard I can remember. They basically never pay in the back, blocks (outside of ruck contests), holding the man...

The irony is the ‘silent majority’, John Howard’s ‘quiet Australians‘, never actually shut the farque up.

Are you aware of the history of rule changes?

More frees paid, particularly holding at contests, anything restricting people going for the ball. Free kicks have declined markedly since the 70s & 80s. Pay more holding the balls & in the backs too to keep the ball moving. Aside from behind the play stuff, players get away with a lot more...

He's certainly a barnacle, had a cushy job for so long, made many a howler, no consequences.

Petracca’s shirking of that key contest early set a poor tone. It would be nice if the commentators actually pointed that out for a change instead of blowing smoke up the ‘superstars’ arses for an entire game.

Well this is disappointing. Fluffed so many chances and missed targets by hand and foot.

Well done Shannon! First of hopefully 500 plus!

Getting a bit silly now Smith and costing us better looks at goals.

Smith keeps calling for it when it’s not really on.

If you switch on the Cats v Dogs game, that is how it is done. Not getting precious over ‘home’ shorts, just wear the shorts that make sense. Some teams have similar strips of course so sometimes variants on the regulation outfit are required, but the white shorts away need not be a thing in a...

Butchering our chances here

Hopefully a farewell game for Jobe Watson as well.
