We don’t need radical woke, veganism individuals at our club.

Could do with a key forward though.

I suspect the umpires brain exploded when it came to choosing to favor Sydney or Geelong.

Tough week at umpire planning meeting this week.

Dogs vs tigers
Cats vs swans
McSuns vs Collingwood

Like all their lovechildren chose this weekend to punch on with each other.

The 50 is 45 at the SCG. I think thats what they did. The centre square basically touched the 50m arc when everything was in its dimensions. They shortened the square and made the 50 forty five metres.

How long is the 100 metres running track? Classic comedy from The Games. If the 50 lines aren't 50 in real life then that is laughable.

This is absolute gold.

Scott refuses to blame umpires despite missing 'clear' mark

Chris Scott won't seek clarity from the AFL after late umpiring decision in two-point loss to Sydney

www.afl.com.au

Geelong are such umpire's pets.

At least when Bontempelli dives he doesn't appeal to the ump immediately after.

 

[ferball]

In fairness though, it WAS a clear mark and Cameron would kick that just about every time. The umpire called "not 15" way too early and it went at least 20. Absolutely horrible decision. I have no pity for Scott or Geelong, but if I were him or a Cats fan, I'd be fuming.

The pricks always call it early. Especially when we kick the ball 20m on the back line.

Just him.

Im fairly sure they were once 45, Im not certain they are still 45.. who’s got a click wheel handy? Reckon this needs to be looked at

Easier solution - get Kane Turner to have a shot from the 50 arc. If it drops short by anything less than 20 metres, then it must only 45.

Amazes me how AFL players struggle to make 50 metres.

 

[gokangas]

John Clarke brilliance. Maybe the same bloke measures the 50 metre arc.

Amazes me how North players struggle to make 50 metres.

Edited it for you

All the running these days seems to have taken the kicking power out of their legs.

Overcoaching doesn't help it either.

This is the place to say Gerard Healy, WTF? I only saw the first half of today’s game and his contortions to explain constantly how well every Melbourne player was going when they were being beaten up by 18th...

You are correct

50 metre AFL arcs return to SCG

Edit: you can see near the end of this video the 45 on the arc to the left of screen

That bloke Mathieson from the Lions walks around like he's ******* Jesus Christ whenever anyone breathes near him.

 

[Colbys Boots]

I actually wish he had been paid the mark and had a shot

And missed.

Out on the full.

Better yet, he steadies himself, takes a deep breathy, then runs around to open up the angle, the siren rings just a moment before he kicks it. Womp womp.

 

[koshari]

he has only kicked 5 more than tom powell who we took at 13

Make that 4!

Damage found after late AFLW player Jacinda Barclay’s brain donated for concussion research

Exclusive: Researchers at the Australian Sports Brain Bank have uncovered neurological damage they describe as a ‘ticking time bomb’

www.theguardian.com

This is pretty interesting. My brain looks like what they're describing (white matter changes usually found in elderly people) and it's due to a chronic neurological condition rather than from concussion. If that's the type of damage head knocks are causing then there are absolutely reasons to be concerned and I can see why we're protecting the head so much these days.

 

[blackshadow]

Out of interest, why is he called purple?

I just assumed he was a purple headed fireman.

Did we get any airtime from the foxtel campaigners this week?

Talked about how we may be a threat to Collingwood just prior to spending another 20 minutes talking about how bad Collingwood are
