Lol Chris Scott is so loving salty sometimes. 7 minute press conference and refused to give any praise to Melbourne for our performance. Not once, even when the reporters gave him the opportunity. Thought he was about to praise Petty but then said he felt some of his 9 marks "fell into his lap a bit". Was asked about Max Gawn, said that "stats can be misleading"... then proceeded to rattle off some stats they apparently proved he wasn't that important. Said that Geelong were "a bit off" and that it was pleasing they were in a chance to win it despite that. Nevermind the fact that we should've put them away easily in the second and fourth quarters.

Of all the games of football on this week, I could have watched I chose Saints vs North. ... I chose poorly.

Good fixture next week. All of the current top 8 sides play each other, including a weird Friday night double fixture. It does mean the remaining 5 games are pretty boring to neutrals, except perhaps Brisbane v Adelaide.

I think the Friday night double headers work OK when, as with next week, every team is from a different state.

gabensraum posted:I dunno I never thought much of Acres at the Saints or Freo. Sometimes players just don't click with any given club's style? In the other direction, Setterfield was a journeyman at Carlton but seems to be tearing it up at Essendon. Setterfield is an inside mid who was behind Cripps, Kennedy, Hewitt and probably a few others. Being at the back of the queue he was being played on the wing which isn't really his go. At Essendon he's pretty much our only big midfielder so he gets plenty of midfield minutes and can play to his strengths. At Essendon, Fantasia was a really good player between injuries, but he got injured a lot. When fit he was fast, decent over head, clean hands and an accurate kick for goal. I stopped paying attention when he went to Port a few years ago but I think it was much the same - flashes of brilliance between hamstring strains. I'd say all the soft tissue injuries have taken a toll over the years and he's lost a lot of zip.

Two ACLs in the same game for Brisbane (McCarthy and Gardiner) Their next five games are Adelaide, Richmond, Hawthorn, Dogs and St Kilda. All very winnable games, particularly after Adelaide. Drop two of those and you would think their season is done, if it isn't already.

Since that's not happening (and was a pipe dream to begin with) I hope we just stop wasting everybody's time and Bevo falls on his sword.

And they've finally (maybe accidentally) admitted he was concussed during the Essendon game despite saying at the time he passed all the tests and only entered the protocols 'out of an abundance of caution'.

Seems particularly stupid given they’re currently being sued by an Liam Picken for breaching their duty of care to him re concussion.

The AFL should add an extra two weeks for every player caught using a slur. Powell from the Suns has gotten 5 weeks after Finlayson got 3 a couple of weeks ago.

play our shittest quarter in about 6 years, Carlton kick at 4 goals above xscore, and they still have to rely on the umpire sitting on his whistle while they hold the ball in with group hugs to get over the line.

Jeez the Dees shat the bed in the first quarter. Hitting the post twice isn't great, but wow the last 10 minutes were intense.

But, I also presume the rain was a bigger turn-off than the night? blues for the flag

In the cold light of day Brodie Kemp isn’t a cheating oval office, looks like his leg just stuck due to being tackled while kicking causing him to go forward. Still a godawful call by the umpire as I’m not sure what the gently caress more van Rooyen could have done to protect Kemp. Be good if we can turn up to matches in the first quarter for the rest of the season.

The helpline services being mentioned in articles is usually a pretty solid indicator. Extremely sad, didn't realise he was diagnosed with epilepsy in his final year of footy too.
