every time I look at Ollie Henry, I just feel like his name should Albert Toffington Wimsy from Oxford or something. Good player but just something about him 😬

My folks are foreigners and we knew nothing about footy but the whole of WA stopped to watch that game and I didn’t want to be left out. I was just mesmerised by Matera. Absolutely put the love of footy into me. Why I’m a sad sack on big footy now 😆 I tried to look for highlights a while ago to...

Yes, he’s the one! Always keep half an eye on Gold Coast to see what gems they have and he was one, I thought. Why isn’t he playing? Just not good enough? Better players in his position? He’s the kind of player I imagine clubs could wriggle out, talented but not developed cos of the...

I remember a player from a year ago or so, Davies maybe? Didn’t seem to play much? I thought he looked promising. A small or medium forward but I’ve not seen him much. I wanted to watch him again, but haven’t seen him. Maybe an academy player? There’s got to be some that could be shaken loose!

I can accept the non touched call. I mean, they can’t call it if they can’t see it, and there’s a lot going. But that they cancelled the advantage from the Pearce holding the ball… ffs. That was just wrong. I think it was the other Carlton loss at the death where they gave two free kicks to...

Umpires never change their mind though. What’s the point in pushing things? Don’t f-ing swear at umpires. There’s having a conversation and there’s abuse. Sounds like this wasn’t even the tricky touchwood “dissent” crap that was screwing a lot of players but abuse that would always have been...

Jackson had a winning game in the GF - seems like they all refer to that as THE template. But that was with Gawn! Why are we not allowed to try the same thing with Darcy?! Like someone said, have the discussion, but also the discussion about how it COULD work. Like Jackson and Gawn in the...

It feels like the commentators think st kilda have recruited peak Cyril Rioli or something. didn’t think Henry was awful, but the constant comments about his dangerous speed etc... it was rather bewildering. Also, why was he playing at the centre bounce?!

I thought I was taking crazy pills?! It’s always hard to pick ruck infringements but some stuff looked really blatant. I’m a big Gawn fan, but he reall6 should have been called on it. Regardless, Grundy absolutely won that battle.

So when is the game starting? I need to plan when to ignore my children.

Is this the right spot? At a bbq today, I overheard a couple of mates talking about how the eagles could make the eight, if they stay injury free and get Harley Reid in the midfield. I just had to keep walking past, trying to stay straight faced, but I’m pretty sure one of them spotted me...

I know of a bloke that had been a west Aussie based Dees member for YEARS, but decided to give up his membership for 2021… 😶

I loved Tom Green before… he’s just the complete package as a footy player. Never understood why he doesn’t get raved about? Love him even more now.

Big game players. Both sides just had so many moments where they nailed the shots. Collingwood weren’t as accurate. But a lot of their misses were not super easy, or rushed and stuff. But those set shots to finish quarters etc? Just nailed them. Even serong who I reckon could be a big game...

Pretty sure we win the Richmond game with Darcy. Jackson just wasn’t big enough for nankervis, and midfield just got kind of squashed. Can’t see why we’d trade him unless he wanted out! Whole team is too small and Darcy adds weight and height and more marking power around the ground.
