It's highly likely that Richmond will be out of the 8 with a percentage below 100 after next week :classiclol:

Geelong might also be out of the 8 if they lose to the Doggies by a bit and Melbourne get up. Crazy to think that they started 5-0 but could be out of the top 8 at the end of Round 9.

The ladder predictor is fun when the league is this close at this point in the season.

I can get Melbourne to 4th or 12th going into the bye depending on how i play results out. And the differences aren't even that crazy - St Kilda would need to drop games but it's entirely possible they could drop to Sydney and the Dogs in the next two weeks. Or they could win both.

Good. Great rule. I'm sure the MRP will find some way to make grey areas exist but the overall approach to 'no tolerance' is fantastic.

Every rule (or umpires interpretation) these days punishes players for attacking the ball.

Deliberate out of bounds when they're trying to move forward, contact below the knees when attacking the ball, players dropping to their knees then tackled for a high tackle/in the back. All garbage.

If Melbourne were on track for finals and someone like Gawn or Oliver injured themselves in a State of Origin game I would be loving fuming. All I care about is Melbourne winning. I don't give a poo poo where the player comes from, we're all Australians... as long as my club has the best players and we win then I am happy.,

Just quietly, a Dees vs Tigers elimination final would be loving epic. two unbelievably success starved teams, Dees just finally playing a final and Tigers looking to actually win a final. Surely it'd get near 100k? We got close to 90k for ANZAC Day Eve.

Looks like Paddy McCartin was concussed in the VFL today. :suicide:

I remember hearing that people with diabetes can get concussion easier? I don't know how it works but Fitzpatrick has diabetes and he's having issues with concussion too.

Dees have said that Mitch White will be coming into the side for tomorrow nights game. He's a lock down medium/tall defender who doesn't get a lot of the ball, and that will make our tall defenders essentially O McDonald, Frost and White, Frost being the most senior of them with 50 games to his name.

Jayden Hunt is going to play wing/forward and kick a bag

Not that its not appropriate in this context but the mandatory ban irks the hell out of me.

Largely because I had a team mate cop a 3 week ban the other week for telling the umpire "theres two teams out there you know" then "dont bother pulling your card, ill take myself off". Was an absolute farce as the umps decided to "retroactivly upgrade" him to a red card and wasnt worth him contesting as he risked 5 weeks for doing nothing wrong. The umpires are often protected beyond any idea of reason even when they are utterly useless.

The treatment your teammate got was harsh, but the only way to stamp out violence and umpire abuse in local football is to put down harsh penalties. Your teammate would have to do what he did 5 more times to go over the 16 game threshold - I doubt he'll do it again even once.

Verbal abuse of umpires shouldn't be 3 weeks but I completely understand why the leagues are so harsh on it.
