Not sure these days why you would go the bump on an opponent who is already pinned in a tackle :huh3. SPP is looking at 4-6 weeks for that.

Simple really, SPP is an idiot

The new AFL tribunal tweak that gives SPP a chance to serve a week of any potential suspension in next week's community series game. Suspension rests on whether he braces for inevitable contact or elects to bump. I think it's the latter. The details here: https://t.co/t9SU1CIysj

Sam Powell-Pepper is set to miss at least the opening three games of the premiership season after being sent straight to the Tribunal for a bump on Mark Keane in Friday's match simulation against Adelaide.
The Match Review Officer (MRO) has graded the incident as careless, severe impact and high contact and has recommended a ban of at least three weeks.

lmao - the game is soft as butter now but the sad reality is the comp's about to be bankrupted by a class action and they're still handing out peeweak suspensions....:shh
-
What I'd like to know is why Willie Rioli hasn't been cited as well?
He contributed to this incident and after SPP had collected Keane, Rioli has completed a sling tackle. So IMHO he should be cited as well
-
SPP ended up getting 4 weeks btw.
-----
After a 90-minute deliberation period, the Tribunal found a sanction of four matches to be appropriate.
“We do not accept that the conduct involved minimal culpability,” Tribunal chair Renee Enbom explained.
“Powell-Pepper ran to Keane, who was in the process of being tackled. We accept he was seeking to assist with the tackle. We don’t accept Keane moved in such a way when being tackled by Rioli that Powell-Pepper could not have reasonably anticipated the movement.
“As contact was about to occur, Powell-Pepper altered the position of his right shoulder and with his right arm tucked in made heavy and high contact with Keane.
“Even if the shoulder movement was a reflex action, that fact does not mean that the conduct as a whole involved minimal capability.
“We consider Powell-Pepper’s conduct to have been very careless. He ran at speed towards a tackle that was occurring.
“If he didn’t anticipate that the tackled player would be moving in the tackle, he should’ve reasonably anticipated that.
“He had a duty to take reasonable care to avoid head high contact when seeking to assist in a tackle. He did not take any steps to avoid the contact that ultimately occurred.
“Even if we accept the shoulder movement was a reflex action, the reflex action occurred because he ran at speed at a player who was already being tackled. Powell-Pepper took no steps to avoid high contact with the player being tackled. In all of those circumstances we consider four weeks to be an appropriate sanction.”

Him getting 4 means the game as we knew it is dead
Absolute joke

Jy Simpkin has left the field following this bump from Jimmy Webster.
https://twitter.com/AFL/status/1764137364513820816
This is straight out of the 70s/80s/90s. Some in the footy media (David King) claiming Webster should get 10 weeks.
-
He'll get 3-4 but should be 5-6+
-
He'll get 3-4 but should be 5-6+
10 being quoted in the media is ridiculous
Reckon should be 5-6 like you said
Stewart copped 4 for similar
The world gets softer by the year
5-6 makes sense
-
SPP yelled at the tellie this arvo and said "Hold my beer"
-
AFL asking for 8 weeks at the Tribunal hearing.
-
Webster has been banned for 7 matches.

You are problem right
If this pelican did his two years ago, would have been 3-4
Stewart did it now 6-8
If someone bumps like this in 10 years time , probably a life ban .. or 12 months in prison
World is stuffed

So we and Carlton got bumped for a low scoring slog to start the season.
ps. Only one game but Melbourne won't be making the Eight if they dish up for most of the year what they showed tonight. Without Gawn dominating and giving first use to the Dees' mids and Lever tagged and not being allowed to intercept, the Dees had nothing.
Hope Nank and Naismith were watching Grundy use the new ruck rule at centrebounces run across the centreline to stop the opposition ruck (Gawn tonight) from getting a run and jump at the ball.

Yeah, these things happen. That is, we all suffer from foot in mouth disease sooner or later.
My take on it is - both sides got belted by 8 goals at different times during the match, but one of them had to win it ... :snidegrin

Are they Damo? Or do they have a youthful list that is now able to apply elite pressure ?
if u can't execute basic pressure to an elite level then you might as well just finish last because you ain't winning the flag.
Lions folded like a deck of cards.

Sadly the Blues are going to be hard to stop this year :chuck but Freo massively choked in that last 3 mins. Yeah the umps once again helped the baggers get over the line ::) but still all Freo had to do was not fall to pieces and not drop sitters and it would've been game over.

Freo losses are good for us even if it's at the hands of the Scumbagger anointed premiers.... :shh

finlayson what a media build up. Koch is right
that bombers player is just an example of how pathetic that club is. He sounded like he was about to cry for his mate being called a fgt

Absolutely Dio. He would be better off having lines of coke pre game then telling us he has been withdrawn cause of some mystery illness.. Wild.
Did you hear Langford? Never heard a bigger flog in my life. Same goes with Jabba the hut. He should have said nothing at three quarter time and the result would be the same.
left hypocrites in full swing here.
Damo the word was Fgt. A good friend of mine is a mad port fan and that what he told me. I haven't heard it myself. On that basis he should get 10 weeks or life. No wonder this generation is a bunch of soft stuffs.
-
Put him in the big house and throw away the key
And as for Langford, cheers for the input champ .. how about keeping your mouth shut
Imagine the stresses in Finlayson’s private life ffs .. from all accounts he’s meant to be an absolute top bloke .. and he’s being treated like a monster for saying a derogatory word
Thank goodness there wasn’t microphones when I was opening the batting or fielding at second slip .. all hell would have broken loose

Fancy three weeks for letting a word slip .. wonder if the player or Langford are actually (insert politically correct word for a man that likes other men)

Fair chance to your last point.

No suspension for Clarko who has a long record of abusive behaviour but 3 weeks for the exact same thing for a player who has never been cited for anything like it before.
Amazing.
We need to applaud how strong and brave the AFL are

if you wonder why dusty hates talking to any of these dogs, well here is your answer.

You're correct Frankie The Age in their report about Finlayson's 3 match suspension says he used the word and I'm posting it as it appears in their report "F----t"
I am not condoning what he said but the bloke has been hung out to dry here by the AFL
Clarke got away with his comments...
They've set their precedent now, so the next player who vilifies anyone on the field should be handed at least 6 weeks if not a half season.
But I'm sure the next time they will make it up as they go
-
I don't condone it myself but generally feel that whatever is said on the field should stay there and the players can sort it between themselves.
If an oppo vilifies your mate, try to take him out legally or cop a suspension.

AFLPA angry as gap between sanctions for Finlayson, Clarkson explained
The AFL Players’ Association has reacted angrily over Port Adelaide forward Jeremy Finlayson’s three-week suspension.
Will Faulkner and Max Laughton
April 11, 2024
“We believe the AFL is consistently inconsistent and there are double standards in its approach to dealing with players compared to others on behavioural matters,” AFLPA boss Paul Marsh said in a statement.
“This issue highlights the lack of clarity on how the AFL handles these situations and we want this to be the catalyst for an urgent review of the sanctioning framework.
“If this type of conduct is a three-week sanction for a player, it should be for everyone involved in the game and this should be clear to everyone in the industry upfront rather than the open-ended approach that is currently in place.”
The Herald Sun’s Lauren Wood, speaking on Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle, explained what the AFL saw as the difference between the Clarkson and Finlayson slurs.
“First things first is the actual slur that was used, the actual word. Clarkson’s was probably not considered by those who were investigating to be as openly homophobic, whereas Finlayson’s was incredibly pointed, incredibly cutting, total no-go zone,” she said.
“Then they looked at the provocation. Finlayson was basically unprovoked, Clarkson’s situation, the environment was highly charged, he had St Kilda players coming at him (after the Jimmy Webster bump), he was going back at them.”
But she added, suggesting the league regretted not suspending Clarkson: “It’s safe to say at the moment the differences wouldn’t be as vast if the AFL had its time again.”

Ah the old "this word is slightly worse than the other and the guy with the record of abuse used the other word so let's throw the book at the decent bloke because it wasn't an emotionally charged situation" yes that old chestnut.
-
I heard Finlayson was being abused before he retaliated?
Clarkson has a clear history of going on the attack. Finlayson simply doesn't.

Exactly.
AFLPA is 100% right for asking the AFL to explain themselves.
Genuinely corrupt organisation.

Port Adelaide weak as pee here. You obviously don't want to be condoning what was said but some more public support for a genuine good guy dealing with a lot in his personal life wouldn't go astray

They tried before the decision was given
But Koch did it that poorly, it probably caused the AFL to tack on an extra week
-
i have no issue with Koch said. The issue is those corrupt POS, umps and those losers at Bombers for tearing up.
I dont even blame Clarko.
Could this be that bombers and media like Jabba made a much bigger and larger complaint than what the saints did? :shh

Blatant HTB but the Crows only have themselves to blame when they dropped sitter after sitter. Adelaide still suffering from 2017-itis.
ps. There was a pretty similar non-call in front of our goal when we played the Swans at the SCG in 2022. The game we lost by a kick.
Here's the clip.

Add Port to the flakey list. 5 goals up but then lose by 7 goals. Sadly, the Pies have their mojo back.
Gawd I'm dreading a Carlton vs Collingwood GF :help given the interstate teams' poor record at the 'G.

Two wrongs don’t make a right
Baker shouldn’t have gone
And Greene DEFINITELY shouldn’t .. he jumped to mark the ball and the reckless (fantastic in a past era) courage of the Carlton player caused the contact
Greene tried to protect himself and his opponent and braced mid air and still made contact with the footy
What is he meant to do?
Football is stuffed if he gets suspended

He probably will go
And it’s a disaster for the game if he does
Been instances of blokes frightened to jump for the footy out of fear of suspension etc , and it will only get worse
The more this happens , the more the game will become the aerial ping pong that the imbeciles in NSW call it
May as well just go to touch footy and be done with it I guess
-
Toby will go, not saying it is right
But based solely on how they are adjudicating these now he will go
Hopefully he will get treated the same way as others have in 2024 and not given a harsher penalty because of who he is ie "the Toby tax"
I wonder what the AFL will do the day a player doesn't brace for contact to protect himself and to a lesser extent his opponent and there are arms, elbow and head clashes going everywhere and both players get knocked out? Who will they blame?

this is why so many people cant stand the way the game is.
If you're going to give blokes weeks then be consistent. As they aren't consistent the whole thing is fos and doesn't wash with me. Every one of these should have been let off.

Toby Greene's appeal tonight failed.
----------------------------------
TRIBUNAL'S FULL REASONS FOR GREENE DECISION
The charge is pressed on two alternative bases. The rough conduct (high bumps) provision and the general rough conduct provision.
Taking the high bumps basis first.
The first question is whether in the bumping of Boyd, Greene caused contact that is at least low impact with Boyd’s head or neck.
This question is expressly conceded by Greene. He admits this was a bump. He admits that in the bumping of Boyd he caused contact that is at least low impact to be made to Boyd’s head or neck.
The next question is whether Greene was contesting the ball, and whether it was not unreasonable to contest the ball in that way.
I have given an instruction to the panel to the effect that, if a player has ceased to attempt to mark prior to impact, and is bracing for impact in circumstances such as this, that player is not contesting the ball.
That only leaves the question of whether Greene had ceased to attempt to mark prior to impact and was instead bracing for impact.
The evidence is that this is what he was doing.
It is also a finding that we could and do make upon closely viewing the video footage.
Prior to impact, Greene had abandoned his attempt to mark the ball and turned his body to brace for impact.
It follows that the exception to the rough conduct (high bumps) provision does not apply and there is no cause to consider whether his conduct was reasonable.
It follows that the charge of rough conduct is made out under the high bumps provision, noting again that Greene admitted this was such a high bump.
There is no need to consider the general rough conduct provision, the charge is upheld.

-
The game's more cooked then Prestia's hammys.... :thumbsdown
-
Greene's reasoning below
"The whole time I thought I was a good chance to take the mark ... at the last moment I realised he was going to touch the ball before me, then I braced for impact," he said.
"If I go in with an open chest, I open myself up to impact. Hence turning my body to protect myself, knowing he was going to get there before me.
"If I go for the mark with my hands out and he tucks in because he's going to take the mark, I'm highly exposed and vulnerable."
His plea fell on deaf ears however, with the tribunal sticking with the MRO decision and suspending Greene for one match. "

What is a viable alternative for Toby to do in this situation, I can only see two; open himself up to being injured or pull out of the contest well before contact on the basis of a probability he may hurt the oncoming player.
The AFL have put themselves in a position that they cant explain and risk the inherent game style of AFL
-
First time I've seen the vision.
Disgraceful he's suspended.
Basically because someone ran back with the flight into him.
-
I think they should allow the players to look at the other player before hand so they can adjust their run and also put their hands out in front to minimize impact without giving away a free kick.

So much for the putty cats continually whining about not playing all their home games at Kardinia Park :whistle.

Jeromy Cameron's head knock has been ticked off by the AFL, despite the fact that Jeromy is now suffering delayed concussion & is already ruled out of next week's game. There will be no fines or charges layed because the Geelong Doctor attended Cameron & assessed him on the field during play & found no suggestion of concussion. That's one heck of a doctor, even though he turned out to be totally wrong!
So everything is hunky dory & well with the world ... now ...
Its a good thing that we have such cast iron rules around things such as concussion, other clubs have broken those rules & copped massive fines, but Geelong are perfect & obviously a better club than all the rest, so no action will be taken.
So sit back & enjoy the footy, especially if you barrack for the Cats ... ::)
-
Cameron was clearly stunned lying on the ground for a few seconds after the head knock before he got up. He was also allowed to contest the next stoppage before the doc got to him.

Not sure where to put this but I've just watched the U19 boys rugby state of origin and fair dinkum they make the AFL look like a bitch slapping competition with the way it has been stuffed up.

They've had an incredibly soft draw, that's why they're in the 8
Back half of the season they will be playing sides in the 8 or sides who've regularly played finals over the last 5 years.
They'll play finals but they will go out in week 1
But can I just say the umps must have confused the colour of the sash tonight. Bumbling Bombers were screwed big time in the 3rd

If Dimma coached us 12 years and continually failed and Richo was on our board and expected better I doubt we'd consider him a problem

As for “loving it”
Reckon he’s the type of bloke that wouldn’t take joy out of it, especially for the young guys he’s coached .. he’d only be human to be loving it happening to Dimma though
I’m loving it
Nothing was decent about Dimma’s actions .. shafting Taranto and Hopper, doing worse to Richmond as a whole, going behind Dew’s back and potentially destroying his career …
There is a large track record of Dimma only being worried about Dimma (professionally and obviously personally)
Three flags or not , still a prick

I can't remember a year when there have been so many flimsy so-called "top sides". Brisbane did their usual MCG choke, Freo were Freo, and you could argue Port only won thanks to Huston taking out Rankin. Unfortunately, Geelong despite the second half collapse last night is still going to make top 4 with 8 losses which has never happened before in the 18-side comp.

Freo winning would be the funniest result but probably a bad result for Richmond if they really are going to make a play Bolton and Baker. Depending on how far they could potentially go in finals, their 1st round pick could blow out.

The AFL have handed a lifetime ban to a disgraced fan who threw a bottle at a goal umpire during the Blues-Saints clash at Marvel Stadium last weekend.
In a statement, the league confirmed that the man in question will never be permitted to attend an AFL or AFLW match again.
In recent days, the patron was charged by police for recklessly causing injury, discharge of a missile and unlawful assault.
The 23-year-old Northcote man was bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on the 1st of November 2024.

Not the biggest fan of the cats, but Port lmao suck a fat one

Cameron kicking that bouncer and giving it to the Port fan was a thing of goldddd
-
Gotta say watching Hawthorn is good viewing.
Fast, high pressure footy. Reminds me of us from 17-19.
Players are having a great time too.
Good for the competition.
-
similar to us in 17 i feel Andy, though all first year players are doing the damage for them in the front half.
cant say ive seen a final dominated by first year players.
how many number one picks did they have in this team? :shh
-
lmao stuff off Albo ya fake wanker....why aren't you at the Soufs game? :thumbsdown

Backed in Chol when he was here but he's gonna cost Whorethorn a flag at some point.....makes Ryan look like Richo and he's still lazy as stuff.... :shh

Also not convinced that was really a bigger EF crowd than us v Scum in 2013.... :whistle

The height of his “try hard” efforts was when he tried to emulate the skulling a beer effort of the late great Bob Hawke ..

Up there with Cackling Cameltoe's fake accents.... :shh
-
GWS practically playing 1 on 1 and not giving the Swannettes any space -much like Hawthorn last night- and gee wiz it's working for them so far...who knew that not playing a generous "zone defence" or allowing your opponents a procession of easy uncontested marks all day would pay off and is what's required to play finals quality football?(InB4 Shitney overrun them in the last) :shh
-
Taylor's a stuffing gun.....Rance-like... :shh
-
Helluva game - glad I added that disclaimer.... :juggle
-
One of the biggest chokes from Giants.
Utterly failed to convert, handle the pressure, find a target etc.
2:30 on the clock and they have the ball in the centre. Just need to get within range, burn some time and score a point.
Poor.
Won't win the flag based on that.
-
Dunno about " the biggest choke"... a minor one perhaps but it was first v fourth and Shitney were always going to comeback once they started matching GWS' pressure...which is why it was hard to just "burn some time" at the end....like I said , no place for guarding space in finals.... :shh
-
Carlton doing a sublime job of warming the Lions up

It's a figure of speech.
Anyway, shouldn't have lost it imo.

If the hawks can lose next week and cats the following week, we can enjoy a nice neutral grand final of interstate teams where we’re not overly fussed on who wins.
-
I'd rather Hawks beat Port
-
after seeing that stupid albo clapping away i hope the port or swans smash those pricks into next week

To be fair, they've been pretty starved of success with it being nearly a whole decade since the threepeat...... :shh

They won’t win it

Out of all the interstate sides, port is probably my most disliked but give me an interstate side winning it all over a VIC team any day of the week.

Agreed. They were ruined.
Would have been a different game if they had a fitter list, particularly Curnow.
-
If you have to have your best22 on the park or otherwise can only scrape into finals and get convincingly ko’ed week 1, then your no where near as good as your being made out to be. Really good sides are built off a system where if a player goes down you can bring in a less talented player to do a job. God knows we managed to do so in 2019 & 2020.

They were obliterated
No team could cover what they copped and be expected to play near maximum
Nobody said they best 22 on the park , but having half of them fully fit helps

Okay curnow missed the last 6 weeks, jack also missed 12 games in 2019. Injuries to duds like zac williams dont even come close to an excuse.
They lost TDK, we also lost Nank for the same period if i recall. We lost big time players, but we had role players that did their job. That rabble rely on cripps and sam walsh is a tom mitchel type and nothing more.
They dont have quality back up that are capable of replacing injured players.
They also are a very much loved specie from the umpires and they still screwed it up.

I don’t doubt they would have made a better challenge if they didn’t have those injuries however they obviously have some structural/tactical issues to fall away so badly.
We too were decimated by injuries at times, on top of those FJ mentioned, Lynchy, Cotch, Prestia, Houli, Shedda, etc. all missed large chunks of games in 2019-2020. That’s not even mentioning losing rance in Rd 1, 2019, never to be seen again.
-
I’m not going to sit here and defend a team I despise tenfold over all other sides combined
But FJ, at one stage this year they were struggling to field a side .. to list a couple of blokes is that far from accurate I can’t express
Missing their FF, CHF, CHB, FB, RUCK and key mids at the same time is more accurate and obviously impossible to cover
Like I said earlier , couldn’t have happened to a more deserving pack of pricks
-
Mostly we had healthy lists come September.
A handful of blues players were severely under done.

We were similar. Our players would make it back just in time for finals with a couple of tune up games at most before September rolled in. Honestly the more I think about our premierships the more impressive they get.

Hinkley gave as good as he got. :clapping :clapping
i thought it was brilliant myself. Sicily and then Mitchell in the presser sooked it up big time.
Sicily will have plenty of time on his hands to watch the last minute miss that cost them the game.
-
So let me get this right
Ginnivan can troll on social media, disrespect whoever he likes and it's all a bit of fun and the media love it
Hinkley after a win that the majority said Port wouldn't get; gives Ginnivan some of his own back and the media say "oh Kenny shouldn't do that"
Then Sam Mitchell comes out in his presser and says (and I'm paraphrasing here) a very young player made a social media post and a much older man who should know better has a go at him and our captain stepped in and told the older bloke off. Sam also threw in the Hawthorn footy club would never do that blahh, blah.. and Sam reckons what Hinkley did was unacceptable
Talk about hypocrisy
Sam, you condone what Ginnivan does, you've even said you love it so rather than taking the almighty moral
High ground why don't you take some responsibility for you and your club's involvement. Yes Ginnivan is young but he isn't a 12 year old. If he going to dish it out, then he has to expect stuff coming back the other way
TBBH, Sam Mitchell came across in his presser as a sook, a petulant child like Ginnivan.
-
Yup massive sook in his presser.
You gotta laugh at the whole picture he is trying to paint of hawthorn being an above that sort of behaviour. His players are known for it and that’s why they’ve quickly become very unlikeable. Not to mention the things Sam Mitchell himself used to do in his playing days, anyone remember him making an injecting gesture to the bombers players when the hawks were up 40 in the last quarter? Pretty sure he was 30+ when he did it too, or is that still considered the acts of a young kid…..
-
And then ontop of Hodge which Dio already mentioned, Jordan Lewis was also sooking about it on commentary :lol
Not a very happy team at Hawthorn last night.
-
It all adds to the theatre.
I like it.
Especially Hinkley dishing it out lmao.

Hawthorn would boast about being "the unsocialable Hawks" too. The sooks love to dish it out but they can't take it :nopity.
Perhaps they should focus instead on the 3 set shots they missed in the last 5 mins of the game last night including the poster by their captain.

Super clutch goals by Daniher though.
Was hoping for a Sydney derby grand final but as long as brissy beat Geelong next week then I’m not fussed.

"Where BC means before Cook" lol. Bloke had a sense of humour and got a laugh from the crowd. Reckon the "250,000" exaggeration was a wind up too. Of course, the triggered are gonna be triggered once again. Talk about being woke! :shh
Anyway on the footy which is what this thread is for, GWS choked again. That's twice in 7 days. 44 pts up in the 3rd qtr of a final and losing is Colliwobble level choke. The Giants tried to save the game way too early and threw it away just like they did against the Swans. The Lions better not waste this escape job and roll over next week gifting Geelong a GF.

Yet you lot have brought politics into football threads for the second week in a row. Last week it was being triggered over Albanese wearing a Hawks scarf despite him being Hawthorn member for decades according to Jeff Kennett. This week it's being triggered over a bloke who added some humour to Welcome to Country. The wokeness from those who try to claim they are anti-woke is hilarious :lol.

Yeah nice try coming from the biggest.
albo is a try hard. I wouldn't be surprised if he has memberships to all clubs given I've seen him in a few colours.
As for that welcome rubbish.
If you don't like it don't pay attention. Haven't watched that crap in years. I even make a point of talking at the footy when they are crapping on trying to make "jokes"

I thought the 2 Tom Greene handballs to open space, to no one in particular were incredibly costly. Needed to handball down and create a stoppage. Lions swooped on those and at least 1 resulted directly in one of Daniher's goals.
The Lachie Keefe miss probably cost them game too. 25 metres out and he never looked like kicking it

Gotta hope Swans win it now. Hate the other 3 more.

Indeed but those two brain explosions by Daniels virtually one after the other that cost them two goals - one for and one against- was the catalyst IMO... :shh

Two teams that have rarely bottomed in the last 20 years Geelong and Swans have made it to at least a preliminary final.
We once said we will learn from what they do and add our bit to it also to ensure we are always there abouts and competitive, but alas we learned nothing or did nothing to ensure this .

I agree with you on this. Daniels two selfish brainfades (especially that stupid soccer goal attempt when the Giants had a free 15m out) were massive momentum gifts to Brisbane when the game could've/should've been killed off. From then on GWS cracked as a team as the mental demons and panic kicked in.

We once said we will learn from what they do and add our bit to it also to ensure we are always there abouts and competitive, but alas we learned nothing or did nothing to ensure this .
The Swans did have back-to-back bottom 4 years (15th in 2019 & 16th in 2020) but it's their mid-range drafting where they hit the jackpot and keep themselves contending. They got Chad Warner at pick 39 in 2019 and in 2020 Errol Gulden (#32). Logan McDonald (#4) and Braeden Campbell (#5) were their first round picks in 2020. But they also got James Rowbottom (#25) and Justin McInerney (#44) in 2018 and Will Hayward (#21) in 2016 when they made successive finals. These mid-range picks are where we have failed.
ps. Having a fruitful academy that gives you the likes of Heeney and Callum Mills while you are contending is also an advantage the Swans have that we don't.

But we accomplished more in our period at the top then the swans have in the past 20 years. Only 1 less flag than the cats too.
If anything we did try to go down the top-up route and failed pretty spectacularly at it lol
-
I get what you guys are saying .
Do you think we are being unfair on the cats though
Without delving into this too much it appears to me that they not only top up but do have a regular supply of youngsters coming through( again I havent done the sums on this)

The AFL have fined Hinklry $20k for his "actions" on Friday night but Sicily has got off completely

So let me get this right this hokball is chaos football which we created in 2017 and is still copied today, with limited success
3 or more Little forwards to do the job.
Ground breaking hey Hawthorn.

Is Geelong complaining about a home prelim at the G this year?
Or is that sooking only reserved for when Richmond is involved

Playing spuds like Dixon is why they fail in finals.
Btw where's the AA selectors when Byrne-Jones does nothing again in finals?! ::)
ps. Kochie will be pretty quiet tomorrow. Mouthed off pre-game about the Swans not beating Port since Obama was US president and it's come back to bite him :wallywink.
-
After the nonsense of Hinkley being fined last week by HQ part of me was hoping Pirt would go all the way and win the flag, yes just to stick it up the AFL
But their forward entries last night were so Richmond-sque last night it was laughable
Agree MT, the Dixon selection was a killer. Get whyvthe did it with Marshall out but he was horrible. Time to call time Charlie.
-
Hinkley has killed that club. Horrible, horrible bloke when it comes to coaching finals.
-
lmao - pussies kicking goals out of their arses.... :scream
-
Yep, the luck is going the Cats way with those flukey goals from the pockets. Compare that to Bailey missing two easy shots on the run. Add not defending the defensive side of contests allowing Geelong to get goal side out the back and Brisbane are now doing the dumb crap we do. Anyway, the game turned when McInerney did his shoulder. Cats have dominated the stoppages since then and kicked 7 goals to 2. It's sickening seeing Geelong waltz towards a flag under SHocking's rules :chuck.

It's sickening seeing Geelong waltz towards a flag under SHocking's rules :chuck.
Did the toys find their way back into the cot ?

Nope ;D. Will never forget what that prick did. Nobbled us and then his Cats got a flag in 2022 which that old side they had then wouldn't have won without those rule changes. Our dynasty team was a low possession, high press team that played chaotic footy and fed off turnover far more than won stoppage. The rule changes have massively changed the way footy has been played since 2021. The Stand rule means teams now can control the footy by foot with 45 kicks and easily break down high presses. It's why teams now flood back instead defensively. The other changes have meant stoppage dominance has become important if not more important than turnover. We tried to correct for this by getting in Taranto and Hopper but by then it was too late as our dynasty stars were on their last legs by 2023. We now have to rebuild our list completely from effectively scratch for the way footy is played now and into the future.
As for last night, I couldn't be happier to see Geelong get knocked out after being 25 pts up in the 3rd qtr. Holmes was a massive loss for them in the midfield in the second half and then the Cats as a whole lost their marbles defensively and offensively trying to copy Brisbane and left the corridor wide open.

COVID, gastro and hamstrings: The misfortune in Geelong’s preliminary final heartbreak
Coach Chris Scott said he will struggle to sleep in the coming nights. There is no shortage of what-ifs to keep him up.

Chris Scott's contract and role with Morris Finance will remain the same, but it's understood part of the deal has been proportioned to Geelong's soft cap for football spending.

SFW - there's about half a dozen blokes we've delisted since Dow's been here that would still give us more than him and I don't want them back either.... :shh

I want the team to do well so I'd rather field a best 22 and not have Dow clogging the list over the dozen blokes you think were better

Davidud's not going to be the difference and it's not as if we're in the finals mix this year...what we are in the mix for is more top draft picks and/or capital to trade for a real gun like Reid - so dunno why people are sooking it up over "missing out" on some overrated 23 y.o. VFL flat tracker that went at 51 after we took 7 kids in the top 30.... :shh

Will Day having a night out. Absolute gun. A reminder that our teenage cubs won't be reaching their breakout year until they're around 22-23 y.o.
As for the Swans. Their forward line still their Achilles heel so far tonight.

"I can tell you that the AFL is auditing third-party player payments at the Geelong Football Club."
Big news from Caro on The Agenda Setters.

yeah big investigation" to appease the public only to result in a deal or nothing to see here.
much like Jacob Sinner

The AFL says it will not reveal the findings of its “audit” into third-party player payments at Geelong unless it finds the club has breached league rules.
