Crows amazing. Blues inaccuracy not amazing.

Good to get the loss out of the way. Would hate to have the pressure of a perfect season going into the GF.

Also the stubborn pricks in the box finally relented and ran Soligo, Rachele, and Rankine through the midfield for a lot of the game instead of Crouch and Laird, which made us infinitely better

Reid is into the fifth game of his career and already has a reputation as a ducker. Just tried to fend off a player, didn't work and got caught in a tackle, so he dropped the knees and threw the head back. Free kick.

It's not great, if you're that talented you don't need to play that way. Joel Selwood will never have the (positive) reputation he arguably deserves amongst the general AFL viewer base because of his ducking habit.

Rhys Mathieson with talent.

I’ll say this for Selwood, I reckon more often than not he was doing it to attempt to escape the tackle and keep play going. If the umpire paid a free kick for it then all the better. It still trash to watch but that’s more on the league than him.

Elliot Yeo looks good again this year. Free agent at the end of the year... would be a good target for a team in the premiership window but being a Perth native I doubt he'd leave.

This doesn't get mentioned enough.

Clarkson and Fagan bullied a girl, (multiple girls?), into getting an abortion. They tried to take away the support networks of girlfriend and family from young impressionable country town indigenous players because ... footy in more important.

gently caress them. It needs to be shouted long and loud. I hope North and Brisbane lose every loving game they play.

No no you don't understand, the media had to protect them because of *mumbled reasons something something process taking too long* and then stopped talking about them all together so that means they're innocent because it's been forgotten about. Happy end for everyone!

From the AFL’s perspective there’s nothing stopping clubs adding him to their list. I think he’s a delisted free agent. I suspect he’d end up back at North since they tried pretty hard to keep him on their list, but no doubt there’s other clubs who would be sniffing around, particularly if he ends up getting some counselling and stops being a complete fuckwit.

My understanding is the AFL have to agree, and he would also have to complete an education course on how not to be a gigantic piece of poo poo, before a club can sign him at the end of the year. He’s ineligible for the mid-season draft but could be signed as a delisted free agent at the end of the year at no draft cost (pending those conditions)

Honestly among the dumbest tribunal decisions I can remember.

That action is inherently insanely loving dangerous. And then part of the reason they let him off with a fine is he’s never been suspended, because the last three times he was found guilty of rough conduct he got off with a fine.

I demand to be taken seriously

:aronrex:

So they don't change the impact so it's reduced to a fine but they let Cameron off with the Good Bloke defence. No actually defending him dumping Lever on his head, he's just a good bloke.
