The post-game Fox commentary is appalling!

*How embarrassment*

To what audience are the appealing?
It’s interesting isn’t it? They all think the Heppell elbow to the head was ok-and I agree, it’s a fine for me. Yet I thought it was worse than the hawkins incident last week that they all went to town on. Weird what the agenda driving stuff is.

Loved the two non-decisons in the final quarter, where the players stopped without the whistle being blown.:D
The one where the players thought it was holding the ball at the top of Collingwood's 50m arc and everyone stopped as the ball went to a Pies player 10m in the clear directly in front was hilarious. There probably would've been a riot if that player turned around and slotted a goal.

Thought Cox was involved in two baffling decisions (or non-decision in one case). The one he got when Hooker was using his body brilliantly to protect the drop of the ball was baffling to say the least. Then there was the one where he had his back to the play for the entire time and was holding his defender to prevent him from going third man up. How that wasn't pinged I'd never know.

Just watching the movie "Draft Day" doesn't do justice to the total Americana vibe that the NFL draft is ...

The AFL should give up trying to copy it .. there is no way that that sort of buzz will ever be around our draft of 18 year old kids..

maybe when these Aussie boys start getting tens of millions if they get drafted;)

college(and high school for the NBA) kids drop out just for a chance at their name being called, that alone is worth millions regardless of what kind of career they end up with
