The AFL has to make it a rule: If you leave the ground and brace, any contact to the head starts at 1 week suspension. Doesn't matter whether you were going for a mark. Doesn't matter if it was self preservation. Too much grey at the moment - like many rules in the AFL. Toby out = narrow...

Re: Hogan getting off. Watching AFL360 and tantrums galore :) More so at the Tribunal's decision for their ruling, but it's delicious seeing a portion of VicMedia with their knickers in a knot :)

Would like every Fox commentator to listen, and watch what happened when Denver defeated the Lakers with a buzzer beater today. Apart from a brief comment - "THE NUGGETS HAVE WON!!", there were 30 seconds where the 3 commentators - 1 main commentator and 2 analysis - said NOTHING. They let the...

Liked: Finally every team has played 6 games - ladder is now a better guide. Eagles might have turned the corner - good to see a team that's been down getting it together. Learnt: The new AFL bigwigs better get their act together bluddy soon on; incidents similar to Toby Green - still too much...

The howls of injustice if Toby gets off.... Looking forward to it. The AFL has really cornered itself. They have to make a hard and fast rule because even if you have eyes on the ball and arms out ready to mark just moments before the ball is within reach, that no longer counts.

Again - if you want to build an argument, stick with facts. The photo of Tom Green posing in warm-up gear was posted on X at 3.53pm (therefore safe to assume it was posted soon after it was taken). Game started at 4.35pm. Not "hours before" as you claim. Happy to disagree, but please, don't...

Kayo has nearly halved the HD (1080) bitrate since it began broadcasting. Now at 6499kbps for their HD coverage, it's no wonder that for a fast-moving game such as AFL that the images look like a blurry mess. I remember Ch 10's HD images. Damn we've gone backwards with Kayo (and Ch7).

Happy to disagree, but that statement is just silly. Comparing a traditional, planned photo to being taken aside and posing for a 'fun' photo pre-game is not the same.

We've been waiting a long time for Callaghan to do just that consistently this year. His turnovers cost us plenty v Carlton so time for a run in the twos to get some confidence and accuracy back. I can see your point re: Perryman with lack of speed, but as you mentioned, some rotations with...

One of those weeks where I'm waiting for the judiciary and injury list to be published before making team selections. Initially, it was Haynes in the backline, Perryman to centre, Callaghan out, but with the judiciary now involved, a pause is required.

My concern regarding social media relates to game day. No dramas if players are passively involved in social media posts i.e. photos taken of them during warmup. But when they pose for photos like Green and Leek did pre-game wearing training gear, it shows their minds are not focussed totally...

I'm a bit to and fro on this, but maybe just a little bit less social media is required at the moment. When I see Tom Green getting a photo pre-match. smiling at the camera with the head band, it makes me wander whether the players are totally focussed on what's ahead.

Considering Kingley's post-match interview, I'd rather move Perryman back into the centre and bring back Haynes. Right now, we need height in the backline and a more specialised backman. Callaghan performed very poorly today and should be dropped. If Taylor is OK, then just the Perryman /...

ANOTHER Callaghan blunder. Kick straight to the opposition despite there being 2 team mates on either side of the Blues player.

Callaghan 's depth perception is a worry. His kicks across the field to a team mate supposedly in the clear get intercepted or at least spoiled. Hand passes to team mates under extreme pressure.
