Reminds me of when John McCarthy passed away in 2012. I think that was the week we played Sydney in the preliminary final and got knocked out.

John McCarthy passed away leading in to the Semi Final against West Coast. Collingwood got the win in an emotional Saturday night match at the MCG.
We did lose to Sydney the following week though.

I think these are great suggestions. I haven’t been able to clarify how they handle it in Rugby League as yet.
Just speaking to an ex league player and he said the doctor can contact the bunker and they can then contact the referee immediately as they would with a score review.
AFL probably need to clarify the on field protocols. Players will risk continuing especially late in a tight game.
I wonder who’s onus it would be (doctor/club/player) for refusing to come off. Aka Jezza. Probably would be 100% Doctor/Club. But should be margin to say player took his own risk when instructed to come off (assuming he was). Sort of like a waiver. What do you think?

It has to be clear cut for mine so 100% doctor and the game should be stopped.

There is bound to be controversy no matter what is put in place and unfortunately there will even be those who would stoop to manipulating it to advantage e.g. feigning head contact to stop the game.
We have commentators openly suggesting players are using the dangerous tackle rule to gain advantage.
Humans eh I agree with the premise that what sets us apart from other animals is our ability to manipulate.
A Bombers win today would be another good result for us.
Assuming we beat WC it would mean they move to 3rd but remain within 4pts and with a percentage currently below even ours.
The teams then positioned 4th to 7th would only be 2pts clear of us in 8th.

There's the example. Blood rule. Off you go. The umps have people upstairs that could tell them there's been a head knock requiring a HIA.

Weekly reminder that we lost to the Saints.
Certainly the weirdest week of our season yet. Just shows what a combo of low confidence and garbage umpiring can do.

They arguably played their best game of the year so far that day against us. Unfortunately a few sides save their best for us

Actually don't think they played well at all. We were just plain s**t.

Still shits me how we lost to them.
At least I can rationalise the Giants and Swans losses.

Saints lose.
Teams must have “worked out” how to beat them.

It's karma for Lyon thinking he was some kind of master coach when they beat us. Arrogance at it's best in his post match presser.

There’s always one every year.

2023 Hawthorn
2024 Saints … hopefully there’s only the one

I’m not joking, they were a better side under Ratten.
Lyon is the most overrated coach in the modern era.

On their day I think the Saints are a hard team to play against but as I posted at the opening bounce (in the wrong thread I now realise lol - Other Club News ) , they looked like they couldn't be stuffed in the warm up and the result is actually closer than I expected.

So they are taking the elevator to the bottom?
