They've literally said within the length of the goal square is fine if you're under pressure. The umpire squibbed it completely

It's not about distance it's about pressure, and the nearest player was three meters away. That is not direct pressure. The umpire said as much after the remonstration.

Too many times in the last quarter swans have failed marking contests, waiting for the ball to come to them instead of attacking it. Not enough awareness of surrounds

Yeah, that one that Grundy missed that resulted in the Bont goal killed the Swans momentum and gave it all to the Dogs.

Woeful umpiring at the end there. Did they forget why they brought in that "no pressure rushed behind" free kick rule? It was because some bloke had a kick in after a point and walked it back over the line a few times to win a game. Not someone killing the ball behind a pack. If that was paid correctly, the rule is loving stupid.

Also that holding the ball decision was dumb. No prior and he was trying to get it free. If he was a Dogs player, he would've just dropped the ball and play would've gone on.

That said, I was going for the Dogs, so hooray I guess. Bont picking that guy's pocket in the goal square was rad.

I thought the Jones holding the ball call was fine. he got tackled but there wasn't really anything stopping him from punching it out, he just kinda writhed around like a worm

Lachie Hunter giving hand signals like "No way, no interview" and BT just walks straight up to him and asks some question about the horse racing tomorrow. What a loving joke.
Is it just me or does Channel 7 have way more access to all the winners in the rooms after games this year?

No, because ratings. It's not about pleasing fans of the game it's about getting a few more people who couldn't give a poo poo to have it on their tv in the background

Could someone explain how Roughead beat lung cancer? It was my understanding that lung cancer is treatable but not curable.

Good on him, of course.

He had melanoma that spread. Immunotherapy killed it (touch wood).
