From an article on a Hawthorn Collingwood game back in 2017 in which Mitchell had 50 possessions: Impressive numbers, but Buckley said at no stage did he feel things were getting out of hand. “He just finds a way and keeps getting to the pill, (but) if I said he wasn’t hurting us a lot, would...

Was thinking the same thing. Did they have one last year? Disappointing if they've abandoned the concept as it was one of the few league decisions that was actually decent.

Aside from being an average coach, Walls is also a dud of a human being. What kind of person would think the below constitutes reasonable team management? "It was revealed in the video "Passion To Play" that in Walls first year as Bears coach in 1991, as disciplinary action Walls authorised his...

Great cause. Is the slide into an ice bath still the format? It's getting a little stale and could probably do with a refresh/new format.

If Brian Taylor hadn't made this bloke out to be more than he is then his career may well have been very different.

It's a garbage call and the AFL will likely double down on it being the correct decision publicly this week. However, I'll be fascinated to see if they try to dial it back internally with the umpires across the rest of the year. Had that been a bigger match in a more prominent timeslot the...

The evening time slot made the game feel like a bit of an after thought in the day. Compare this to a 2.30 time slot where the whole day is built around the game and it felt like a bit of an anti climax. Seems the league will have to decide whether it sticks with the traditional time (favoured...

Why should it matter if a team who has guaranteed their place in the top eight rests players against those who haven't in the last round of the h & a fixture? Yes, it is an advantage but it is one that the team has earned by winning more games than their opponent. It was bought in purely to...

I presume that list wasn't leaked by the 34 Essendon players themselves?

It is a disgrace that does serious damage to any percieved integrity associated with the AFL media brand. Evidently the AFL only wants propaganda puff pieces. Probably also again raises concerns in relation to the size of AFL media and its ability to control public narratives regarding how...

They will finish higher due to the kinder draw they'll recieve as a consequence of being so terrible in 2019. However, if they have a decent season next year and finish in the top 8 you can expect them to slide right out of contention again in 2021 much like this year.

That was purely to avoid watchers tuning out and changing the channel.

Find the middle of the season be a bit of a grind. Less games heightens each games importance and also creates greater demand and anticipation during the off season.

Campbell Brown, the great moral arbiter of our time. Then again the whole incident would seem like nothing to someone who has hit his own team mate, let alone those on opposition teams. Brown's contract, which was due to expire at the end of 2014, was terminated after he broke the jaw of...

Have you read a newspaper or heard of AM radio? People make livings out of being outraged. West Coast has just served them up something to be outraged about when there was no need to.

Isn't that the point though? Why would you give people more amunition to bring up the incident? The promotion of this photo with message does little more than to stir up the outrage again rather than let the dust settle. If anything I'd imagine that Gaff would just want to move on and try his...

MINUTES after his AFL club pinched victory, suspended West Coast star Andrew Gaff’s mobile phone buzzed. It was his joyous Eagles teammates, sending him a snapshot of their celebratory scenes in the Adelaide Oval rooms. "We took this photo and sent it to Gaffy right after the game, I think our...

Good indicator of the intelligence of your average herald sun reader.

Wtf was that

Haha how was the look on howe's face when he didn't win mark of the year.

100% He is trying to stir this up purely for promotion of his own radio show.

Keep the draw

If every team could get all their injured/suspended players on the park all season long you are also likely to have lost games you won earlier this year.

Revisit in 6 years.

How did Hodge grow up with Dangerfield and Selwood? He is a good 3 to 4 years older than both.

Where does Hinkley sit with his contract? For Port fans, if his contact is close to the end would he need to at minimum win a final to guarantee his job for next season?

Apologies for contributing to the topic of the thread with moderate critisism. I'll let you get back to your circle jerk.

Great player, heard he is a bit of a knob of a bloke though.

Would never see Malthouse criticise Thomas given he bought him to Carlton. That would be an acknowledgement that he made a mistake. If the blokes on SEN had any guts they should have called him out when Malthouse started talking about how it was unjust to have a go about Thomas after one game...
