On this topic of commentators ... in this Port/North game, they were talking about North defender injury crisis, and were talking about midfielders who could pill some holes in the backline, and Gerard Healy suggested Dom Tyson, as he's played that role for Melbourne ... did I miss something? I don't ever remember him playing in the backline?

Was just about to post about this but I got distracted, Gerard Healy is another who confidently says shit thats wrong all the ******* time. Dom Tyson has never played a minute of his AFL career in the backline. What the **** was he on about

Gus Brayshaw worries me a little with these rule changes, there s extra time to run an carry in the centre bounces but his composure is a problem.
It's all about carrying it from stoppages now

Positive hat on I can see him kicking a few goals breaking the 50 on the run from clearances but I just hope he uses the time mids have now
What I really hope is Oliver kicks more with these rules, he already creates space for himself but now he'll have it in spades.

Who knows. Kingy just said last year we kicked 55 goals from centre clearances and 2nd best was 37 so theoretically this rule should give us a premiership

Maybe an unpopular opinion but David King is very good and a huge Dees lover to boot.
I don’t mind him. He at least has a go at a spot of analysis - too many of these dudes like Brown etc do shit all except look for a controversial one-liner. I think King makes himself unpopular by expressing his opinions about a particular team. Too many supporters don’t seem to cope very well with anyone who attempts a critique of their team.

Poor Brisbane, brought down their reserves, topped up with Academy players who are by and large, pretty ordinary, and face Casey featuring Viney, Jones and Melksham.

Looks like Paddy Ryder in doubt for rd 1. Huge face clash. Could be a bone injury, or concussion.



Why do you always call them 'media types' lol
Could be a little fracture there.

****** if I know mate I'm not the sharpest, probably heard some other campaigner say it an adopted it.

This ******* 50-metre rule is ridiculous. If you're a quicker sprinter than the player in front of you, you automatically concede a second 50.
