The piece of play leading to the Dovaston free kick and behind was the worst disposal chain I’ve ever seen that has taken the ball from one end to the other.

North took it from d50 to f50 with about 10 disposals, none of which hit their intended target but somehow they still retained possession.

What really capped it off though was Stewart turning the kick in over for an immediate North goal.
 
It is a rule. Umpire had no choice.
Geelong player cannons into North player (that's taken a mark) after the whistle has been blown, no 50 paid then. This is inconsistent application of the rules is the annoying part. My bias in my hatred of Geelong would say they get the better side of the ledger more than most. Not pure frees for / frees against, but more of the frees not paid vs frees paid in same actions...
 
The whiteboard made me chuckle - of coure teams look for weaknesses in opposition players. We do it constantly here, media experts do it all the time. Suddenly we're acting shocked that the actual players and clubs do it?

Sarah Jones kept pushing for contrition from lions players during post match interviews. I loved Harris Andrew’s turning it around and saying all clubs do it and then went on to talk about the breach of trust after allowing Auskick to use their change rooms and maybe they might need security in the rooms in future. Closed the conversation right down and turned it into the amusing non issue that it was

References to partners is the only actual story here. It’s unprofessional and will also be perceived as a lack of respect for women/women used as fodder for sledging and banter. They can argue that it was behind closed doors but it’s like anything - you put it out there on a whiteboard in plain sight, it’s your responsibility.

But it was the players only positive

Good on Andrews for shutting it down but Caro will be champing at the bit to be Caro. Every club has a right and an expectation to assess the strengths and weaknesses of every opposition. This forum does it weekly AND includes our own players. Auskick Dad needs to GTFO and mind his own business.
 
If it ends up a 100 point flogging, surely Brad Scott has to go.
That's funny but I reckon the funniest thing is Essendon used that for ammunition today.
I actually don't like that sort of belittling of the opposition.
Really poor from Brisbane imo. I hope we don’t do the same.
Reeks of arrogance.
