The spectacle wouldn’t be worse for fining a few players for staging

Fully understand that’s what the AFL want. Just not convinced how it is meant to work in practice. Does Greene ‘sticking out’ his hands reduce the impact 100% of the time? Doubt it.

I think it has to go that way in part because there’s not enough talent in the league for the best players to be missing 4 game blocks. Basically a ‘no fault’ collision rule. While we are on the topic, it amazes me that some players still don’t wear mouth guards. I know the science behind...

Wow. Amazing how one draft pick can change the narrative for an entire club. West Coast’s list still has so many older players and will get worse before it gets better but they can build a club around Reid for a generation. I hope he maintains a work ethic to match his massive talent because...

Not until there is an AFL reserves league - otherwise availability would depends on a semi-pro state league fixture and differ for each team. That said, the sub seems pointless to me. I’d rather see it scraped altogether.

These type of suspensions should be challenged every time until it’s made clear what a player who finds themselves in Toby’s situation is actually meant to do.

Good to laugh at teams like Fremantle and Adelaide when the umpires * them because our turn will certainly come. Can’t wait to play Carlton in a final…

They are saying pressure off Bevo but performances like that only reinforce why he should be sacked

Brisbane taking the piss out of the tribunal process but glad they are calling out players using dangerous tackles for free kicks

Tom McCallum stays at 2-3 weeks. Hope they find his ankle soon.

Wouldn’t mind getting in on one of those trades where Gold Coast give us a good player and a first round pick.

He did a few years ago and made Finlayson look like Matty Primus.

Don’t forget that time he bet on Taylor to win the rising star (over Bont) and then pumped him up endlessly in the media. Class act.

Worst case for Butters would only be a fine anyway. Careless, high contact and low impact. The AFL suspend on the outcome and not the action. I’d be all for changing that but you can’t pick and choose.

West Coast are still not the list profile of a rebuilding side. They will get worse before they get better.

Very Hamish Hartletty though

Jack Graham isn’t a start but he is a good footballer

Darling getting Bronx cheers 10 minutes in

I assume part of the reason for opening round and this endless bye s**t is because the broadcasters don’t even want a 9th low quality game overlapping on a Sunday afternoon.

North players queuing up for easy stats out wide while Geelong structure properly and defend the corridor. It’s gutless football.

Pretty big if

I don’t know whether we play 4 talls, Mead forward, Narkle, Tommy A, Sinn or something else but it’s painfully clear we can’t keep carrying McEntee in this form. He needs an extended run kicking multiple goals in the twos.

Dixon is finishing a bit like Jonas, with his opponent being best on ground or having a career best game every week. O Lord please don’t let him limp into finals without having a clear alternative.

Natural footballer. Got to keep getting games into him across the home and away season and steaks into him at home.

The state of this umpiring. * me.

Keays always hitting the post

That was eyes painted on stuff

Best player in the game Sam Taylor. Looks awful - not sure i agree with broadcasters not showing replays.

Ross will have spent all summer stewing on the way GWS beat them in the final last year. Reckon he’ll have something planned to disrupt GWS and turn the game into a scrap.

This takes the tally to 6/13 suspension in 2024 for indigenous players. Talk about over indexing. Someone better get Susan Ley on to this - it’s a crime spree!
