Non Lions Discussion 2026

[Helicon1]

Not sure if this been mentioned? Comben from Norf should get a week for his hit on Reid after Yeo's goal. If Gardiner got one for a late high in a contest, this is just as bad.

Fascinating the media scrutiny and fallout regarding Voss' antics at quarter time.

Meanwhile there has been absolutely no discussion given to his fireman carry of Ed Langdon later in the game, an action which, while it ended up quite funny with both players laughing about it, was incredibly dangerous and could easily have resulted in serious injury to either player, another player, an umpire or even a spectator.

Hard to say we have our priorities in the right place at the moment.

The distinction is that he did it after the siren outside gameplay. Petty deserves it but do the taunting within the game.

You just look like a weak flog doing it after the siren.

I don't know who you believe the left are, but Labor has moved more centre, away from the left, and so to have the Teals, moved more to the centre. Most Australians vote in that bloc. The problem for the far right, i.e. One Nation, is they've lost sight of what the centre really looks like, and anyone not them is far left. And many of todays modern Liberals aren't much better, being consumed by the far right.

If you think the Libs have been consumed by the far right , we are living on different planets, but to each his own.

I'm just proud our historical taunting of Petty is inspiring younger generations.

This is Brad Scott's 4th season as the Bombers coach, they are a club with no soul, how long will he last?

Brad did a pretty good job at the Kangaroos for the level of talent he had at his disposal IMO, so it probably says more about the Bombers "kulcha" than it does about Brad's coaching abilities or has the game gone past him.

I just had a look at the fixture and I think he should definitely get 3.

I hate it when he wasn't the initiator. Reid came at him, Comben was just standing still.

Then fine both?

Then fine both?

Particularly given it happened after the siren, right?

Oh, wait...

The fact is they're just no good and haven't been for a long time.

This is his 4th year so he'll cop the brunt of the blame but many of the list management issues were out of his control. Plus the injury management issues.

 

[martinson]

Pity Harley didn't have any glasses to rip off.

 

[scoman]

Absolutely. Reid was the aggressor in that situation, absolutely no need to try to bump into Comben. I hated when Steph Martin was given a week or two years ago for a similar thing. Martin was running back to the center after a goal and a much smaller guy tried to bump into him. Steph raised his arms to protect himself and caught him high.

It really annoyed me when Reid was throwing the 'dog shot' accusations around in a post-game interview. Is he serious? What kind of delusion is that?

 

[Section 5]

My goodness a decision with some common sense attached.

However, i feel if Reid got concussed, what would be the decision then

Harley plays on the edge with lots of lip as well.

Sometimes that doesn't turn out so well but there are plenty of champs who used that tactic incessantly to win the mental battle over opponents. Some of them played for us.

Yep , if he'd been concussed at least 2 weeks. This is the AFL world that we live in.

Logan Morris kicking a bag with the academy and Father-Son players having a blinder in a massive win on Saturday would be beautiful.

Throw in FA's Oscar Allen kicking 5 and Sam Draper showing TDK how to ruck, and it sounds like a perfect day.

This actually made me audibly laugh. They’re not a serious club. Fred Bassett must be absolutely delusional.

The professional victim mantra is also very amusing. They’re happy to come out the day after we win the flag in 2024 and cast aspersions on our success and reference Levi Ashcroft, they’re happy to call the GCS nepo babies etc.

As soon as someone points out their ridiculous list management they play the victim card and Ross even brought mental health into it.

We wish them well, we truly do.

 

[Elixuh]

The mighty sainters have more to worry about than old grandpa fagan. Their fringe role players are asking for $1m+pa because everyone else is getting paid crazy money.

 

[Elixuh]

Last one on the mighty Sainters, I promise. Tony Cochrane has done good here.
