Lewis to become a Demon
Repeating the news from Sam McClure that Jordan Lewis is on his way to Melbourne on a three-year deal. All that remains is for Melbourne and Hawthorn to hash out the trade details.
The clubs will meet later today to work out a trade. It's believed Melbourne will be offering the Hawks a late pick in exchange for the premiership star, similar to the pick the Hawks received from West Coast for Sam Mitchell.

Jarryd Roughead has delivered the words everyone in football has longed to hear - the Hawthorn full forward is "cancer free".
The drug treatments have worked, the tumours have gone, the lumps have disappeared and the popular four time premiership player has been told he can return to full training, playing and a normal life.

Former AFL champion and Essendon coach James Hird is believed to be in hospital after suffering a health scare, reportedly an overdose.
Although officials are refusing to comment, Fairfax Media understands an ambulance was called to his address in Toorak just after 10pm on Wednesday.

That's why its still news.
FWIW,
The Spoon - Us... apparently Dud Thomas is in our best 100 players.
First Coach to go - Hardwick by round 8
Second Coach - Buckley.
Top 4 for the Big Show - GWS Hawks Cats Swans
9th - Tigers
Biggest dissapointment - like last yr Norf Melb.

Even being a pies fan, I did giggle watching that. They should have done a split screen with Eddie.
Cloke was always going to kick that goal. You'd back him everytime outside of 50.
It's the 20m out directly in front that go out of bounds.....
Speaking of goal kickers. Plugger back at the Swans as a kicking coach.
He looks slimmer and younger than when he played.

Looks like the druggos are going to get it easy this season with the draw and umpires... I guess the AFL feel they need all the help they can get..

They always start slow. As for my mob, 1 win means little other than that they wont finish with 0 points. Thats about all i am prepared to read into it or say.

Fallen AFL star Ben Cousins will spend 12 months behind bars after being sentenced at Perth Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
The court heard the AFL Player's Association had offered to partly fund Cousins' rehabilitation if he avoided a jail term on Tuesday, with his former club the West Coast Eagles also offering him a job if he could get clean.

And bottom of the ladder to boot, with the Tigers 2nd.
Supporters will have to stand on their heads when looking at the ladder to feel normal.
Add to it last year's grand finalists also winless.
Previous history has shown, teams that start zip and 3 don't make the finals.
Still unlikely both Swans and Hawks will miss, but......

amazing to watch the umpires crumble everytime the WA crowd make any sort of noise.The WA crowd r about as close to a fanatical English premier league soccer crowd as you can get in Australia. Ref most probably get bashed if make too many calls against home team. Sort of like cricket umpires in Pakistan.

In Bolton's defence, he had something like 7 teenagers playing.that was the most insipid game in 20 years from any club.
not even going close to scoring in the 3rd?
over 70 inside 50's difference?
if that's anything close to our worst, let alone best , we wont win another game this year.

I've tried so often to get into the AFL, tried watching what are deemed 'must watch' games etc. I just don't get it, there doesn't seem to be another sport on Earth that is so unsettled... if it isn't racism its drugs & 'sports science' issues, or the constant annual rule changes, issues with 'flooding', alledged poor umpiring, managers of football clubs also running the media (conflict of interest much?), attempts at taking the sport international (like that's going to work), non-Victorian teams playing interstate every second weekend as opposed to the likes of Collingwood/Carlton/Hawthorn etc. who play at the MCG most weeks (& they say its a national competition LOL), many teams in severe financial hardship due to unfair broadcast rights... the list goes on. I love sport, love watching all forms of cricket, the EPL, occasional games of Rugby League, a bit of tennis & golf here & there.... the AFL just seems to be a forever screw up yet its fans just seem to accept the constant failures & unfairness/inequality of the competition?And the NRL doesn't have most of these issues? From where I sit it's more a case that you are in an AFL state. Try NSW or QLD - trust me, the rugby league comp has just as many woes,. At least AFL fans actually attend their games, NRL is still played in suburban grounds in front of 5-10k on a Friday nite. What a joke.
Nope, Aussie Rules still reigns supreme in Australia. And this IS an AFL thread after all...lol

I imagine the NRL has similar issues, as you rightly said, living in Adelaide I just don't hear about them, it's all AFL in the news here. The AFL markets itself as a national comp having teams from most states, from a non-Victorian perspective it seems pretty hypocritical that the bias is steeped so in favour towards the teams that play in Victoria. Take the EPL (or any other sporting codes) for example, every team plays every other team home & away, its a very level playing field. Would that not be the way to run a national competition? How often do Collingwood travel interstate this year? How can a president of a club (Maguire & Brayshaw) also have such a prominent media profile? Would it not be prudent to not have an ever-evolving/ever-changing rule book? Then there's the drug issues in the sport, from the WC Eagles a decade ago through to all the Essendon saga recently with individual cases in between... pretty amateur stuff poorly handled by the AFL administration, no?

At least that's how I interpreted your post. Was merely saying that, IMO only, I don't think it's any worse (or better lol) than any other high profile sport covered by media these days.

All of your other points are mirrored in the NRL. There have been salary cap breaches, drug issues, rape cases and assault etc...and yes the inequality in terms of travel etc exists - its eastern states only, though the only thing NRL does NOT proclaim to be, and I grant you that you are correct in this assessment, is that it is a national comp. Melbourne are the only team outside of NSW/QLD since the failed Super League experiment.

Yeah that's my point mate, the reason why I just don't get the AFL is for all the reasons I explained that do make it different to most other high profile sports (exclude NRL here)... the ever changing rules, the fact that there is no equality in the scheduling, the fact that presidents have such a profile in the media, the way the drugs & rape cases are handled... all so very wrong... there's probably more in the list but its Sunday morning & I had a big night last night :D
Compare the AFL to the EPL (which is where it seems the AFL coaches go to try & improve themselves/their clubs), the EPL is very consistent & run professionally when compared to the AFL, there are no ongoing rule changes every single year where they try to improve something, only to change it again as they screwed up & there is equality in the scheduling of the games. You don't find Sir Alex Ferguson managing Man Utd whilst also appearing on Fox to commentate on an Arsenal vs Man City game.

And therein lies the problem Geoff, until the "Victoria vs the rest of the country" issue is gone (& it never will be so my point is mute LOL) it'll never be an equal, truly 'National' competition, will it? The way things stand this year, putting aside all the financial assistance/bonuses interstate teams (why are they even called that when its a national comp?) have been given previously, there are 18 teams playing in the AFL & only the 'interstate' teams travel every second week or thereabouts. Hardly a 'National' competition is it? Collingwood, Essendon & Carlton, & probably the others too, only travel outside of Victoria 5 times this year, yet there are 8 interstate (there's that word again) teams, why don't they travel 8 times a year, playing less games in Victoria (that last question is rhetorical by the way, we both know why)?

Rhetorical issues aside, there is nothing to discuss here. Ask any of the "interstate" sides if they would rather not exist.......It's the greatest ball code in the country, and lets all agree on that. Everything in life could always be better, but it also could be a hell of a lot worse. Love the sport and enjoy it, or ignore it. Finding fault with it achieves little, unless you wish to share a grievance over a particular aspect. But belittling the sport altogether does not add to the forum, or life in general. Don't like it? Then don't watch, and don't read forum discussion topics on the matter. We are here to discuss the merits of this game and the individual clubs, not whether it should even exist.
Case closed.

>:( >:( Just wondering htf can an umpire class a kick "as delibrate oob " when it bonces 20 metres inside the boundary amd opposition player deliberatly let it go over the boundary for a freby.Bingo. Know exact decision u refer to - nothing short of f*#king ludicrous. There seems to be an obsession in umpiring to go looking for, and pay, free kicks. That's not the spirit of the game. Free kicks are there to discourage negative and dangerous play, not penalise players for contesting and trying. Soft free kicks are why northern rugby league followers can never get into Aussie Rules, and its easy to understand when u see rubbish paid like the incident in question here.
Ive seen this happen now about 4 times thid season with different teams. sorry afl/vfl whatever you call yourself now you've lost me again, dumn arse administraters that can't leave well enough alone >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Game loses every time an ump does this stupid sh#t - it must stop. AFL never wants to end up like the farce that is Rugby Union - a game where the result is heavily influenced by how whistle happy the ref is. Virtually every ball contest in that sport is ended by a whistle for an infringement of some description. Boring.
Ignoring that, and other mind numbing calls, the game was awesome IMO and despite negative pessimists who belittle GWS and what has been given to them, they play an exciting brand of footy, and I gladly have jumped on the bandwagon to support them as my 2nd team.
Still love the sport.
Go Bombers !!

eg It's verboten to place hands on shoulders when going for a mark, but it's OK to knee in the back of the head ???
Contact below the knee will attract a penalty. How long before they ban the smother??

They could stab someone on the field andbthey'd get 50 not give 50.
as for the rules.... players, fans, coaches, commentators have no clue anymore... I think they need to go back to 1 umpire on the field... then there is no difference in ruling from one end of the ground to the other.. and agree they are so focused on looking for something to blow their whistle for.

Was a good game last night first time the dogs have played this year with any glimpses of last year. Don't care about the rules as long as it's consistent even if it's deemed wrong from interpretation just keep it consistentGreg, this will only be true until a game is lost due to inept umpiring against your (or any other) side. You WILL care then...lol
Swannie
Let's just hope it never comes to that. And yes your side should have won, how often does wasteful kicking in front of goal cost teams? Every year the same discussion arises. You see out on the full set shots for goal, yet how often when upfield does a player miss a target player downfield by that margin from a mark ie set shot??

Means more than saying they are Shit and haven't changed since the mid 80'sSums it up. Still sh#t and have not changed. Wish they would, for the greater good of the entire comp, but insipid efforts like the 2nd half today do not inspire confidence. Hardwick has haf an extended run, just like Buckley & B Scott, and like both of them he has done little. Time for another to try.

I went to the Richmond game and I was actually laughing by the end. Couple of Richmond blokes in front of us going off their nut. I have learnt to block it out >:( and my 48 year old mate who died in 2010 of cancer was a mad swannie and we used to go to this game so he would have been pissing himself. Anyway, you could see it was going to happen and if it wasn't for Rance it would have been a whitewash in the end. If Richmond miss kicked it to the opposition once , they did it ten times - absolutely hopeless and most times with no pressure. Umpiring was so inconsistent for both teams too. Buddy copped so much grief from the crowd but managed to do a couple of key things near the end which drove the crowd even more crazy. Anyway,a good day out with friends, had a giant parmy at the Royal in Seymour on the way home and a number of beers and Jimmies too. Life goes on. :cheers:It was two completely different games! 1 half vs second half! Agree with you 100%

I also dont think he will get boo'ed.....well sure he will next year at round 1 but when he returns I suspect quite the opposite, the Tiges faithful will cheer him everytime he gets the ball. It will be great to watch.
Go Tiges ;)
And for the record, they should have given him 4 weeks to begin with and knocked it back to 3 for good record.......most people would have accepted it then and saved all this money wasting tribunal and appeal.

Its fair enough to argue a persons past history or lack of in regards to biffo on the ground, but there is no need to bring in character references. Deal with the matter at hand or the defense might start bringing in ex wives to smear the players or mates uncles brothers who saw you shagging his married sister.

But Saints?? WTF? Richmond seemed hell bent on self destruction. 92-10 half time is beyond embarrassing.
Only thing worse was Bombers v Suns in the suns' 1st season when they had 90+ put on them in the 1st qtr.

Guarantee Bucks is coach until after the final round. Even if they announce that his contract his not being renewed, which is a given now.
McGuire won't allow it (remember he engineered this deal) and they didn't do it to Tony Shaw.
Achieves nothing punting a coach early. I can't remember the last time an interim coach was given a contract for the next season.
but the question is - who would wanna replace him - yea insane $$$ but no flag in 1 week and your sacked.
Hey, they're not Carlton! Only 4 coaches in the last 30 years.
The talk is Paul Roos, but I wouldn't want him. He'd want a shed load to coach again, so his motivation for coaching is $$$'s, not the game.
Remember when St Kilda threw a million bucks at Blight to coach in the early 00's? Got flicked after 6 rounds on full pay when the board realised he had zero interest...

I think it would be better for the club to show some true leadership and step up and say we are going to give him another year. Sacking him is the pussy way out of it.
I think he still has the support of the players and while that is the case give him the opportunity to build the side that he wanted. You cant build a team and win a premiership in 5 minutes.
Look at Richmond, we are well and truly into our 5 year premiership plan that Terry Wallace set out for us in 2005, its going great, he just meant 15 year plan thats all ;D

but talking coaching, WTF with Simpson and the eagles, how about a plan B or C or D.
For crying out loud everybody knows you are going to kick it along the same boundary line every freaking time that's why large packs of opposition players are waiting there.
Never kick it to the fast running players standing all by themselves in the middle of the ground.
Simple Simpson is a moron.

The first domino has fallen at Gold Coast with Rodney Eade removed as senior coach late Monday night.
Chief executive Mark Evans told Eade of the club's decision late on Monday evening after the conclusion of his football department review.
While it is yet to be confirmed by the club, Fairfax Media understands he is unlikely to coach this weekend against the Brisbane Lions.
An interim replacement for Eade hasn't been announced. Gold Coast's coaching panel consists of Andy Lovell, Matthew Primus, Dean Solomon, Ashley Prescott, Matthew Lappin, Max Rooke, Aaron Rogers and Stephen Daniel.
Solomon, the former Essendon premiership player, is the likely candidate to take over as interim head coach.
After spending three years as Collingwood's football and coaching strategist – a role that Mick Malthouse was supposed to fill but refused to do so – Eade accepted the role as Gold Coast coach in late 2014.

A footballer in Queensland has been banned for 20 years after kicking an opposition player in the head during the semi-final between the Ipswich Eagles and Redcliffe Tigers in Ipswich.
The vision above shows an Ipswich player kick a helpless Redcliffe player in the head while he is lying on the ground. Tigers’ vice president Steve Brown told Quest Newspapers on Wednesday the player was concussed and still recovering from the incident.
Brown applauded the way in which the Tigers players reacted to the incident, and suggested it was great team spirit given they all checked up on their injured teammate.
“The player from the opposition … just kicked him in the head,” Brown said.
“Normally when something like that happens a fight breaks out but the players all rushed to check on their teammate. It was great team spirit.”
A spokesman for AFL Queensland said the player was reported on-field by the umpires, with the matter referred straight to the Tribunal.
“The reported player was immediately sent from the field under the red card system,” the spokesman said.

. Yes its not as popular as thugby up there, but it is an australian sport that is played over the whole country, unlike your beloved nrl. It will in time be more appreciated up there, once (if) those teams pick up their game.

The only people i know whose kids play ALF here have their daughters playing the game, it's not a sport that will grow it's own junior supporter base which is what a sport needs to succeed like you talk about. If the team's improve you will likely get people jumping on the supporter band wagon, but the minute they start losing those people will abandon the game straight away (evident the past 5 years)...that's not "appreciating" the game at all.

We have just relocated to rugby country, and my kids play Afl, so i am involved in the club! Now we have recruited quite a few kids, that absolutely love playing, the get to see more if the ball and use the whole field, but they still have no idea about it because its rugby/soccer or nothing here. Parents are happy for the kids to play it and see how much they enjoy it, but because the parents don't know the game they show little interest. Its exactly the same with rugby in other states. Would good when both sports are recognised all over this country.

but now I'm not so sure .. again I don't think there is enough top level players to have every team competitive in 1 season.. it just seems lilke a round robin where teams are competitive for a couple of years ever 5-10 yrs..

Not much difference in the playing between the sexes except the men's shorts and tops are tighter. As for the rest it seems to be the same unending grovelling, clumsy grabs, knocking the ball anywhere, scruffy ineffective ball control and far too occasional butt slapping and high fives.
I don't know when Aussie Rules got the stage where there was 10% good play and the rest just boring scuffling, but I do wish it reverted to real skills the game used to be proud of.
I did notice Saturday night that the losing team must have studied thousands of hours of the Brisbane Lions to learn the way they played and copied them brilliantly.

Just get rid of it at any cost *somewhere* and hope your team mate is nearby.
Somehow this is supposed to be a better TV spectical. cause TV is all that matters to the AFL which is now nothing more than a TV Production company.
Not so much scuffling, but more like the famous rugby union maul.. or again like watching U10's all chasing the ball everywhere instead of there being forwards in for forward 1/2 or 50.
Then penalise anyone who in any way shape or form kicks it, handpasses it, headbutts it out of bounds... Who'd be a defender these days.
Personally I love watching the classic matches of the 70-90's... so much better to watch.

Nup. Definitely Aussie Rules. It does look like Rugby at times, but Rugby scrapping and rolling around on the ground has always been there.This newer version of Aussie Rules seems to concentrate far too much time scrabbling around on the ground in a big bunch, much like sixteen fat kids at a cake tasting stall with only 2 slices left at the Brunswick Markets. The skill qualities have dropped in the evolution of the game but the fitness level required has increased substantially. Back in the Dark Ages I played in a team with Kevin Sheedy and the current scrambling would have been laughed at.

It would be interesting to see what percentage of tap outs or super fast handball/short passes went go the opposing team.
You see the tall suckers leap up at bounces and hit the ball any which way not knowing where who the hell can get to it.
Aussie Rules decades ago was about skill, now it appears to be tight short butt slapping.

Adel 140.2
Syd 131.5
Port 130.3
GWS 118.3
Rich 116.2
Ess 111.8
Geel 111.2
WC 102.8
That's their true form for the season averaging out their double games which short of the teams playing each other twice home and away is the best measure you can come up with. Up until last season the ultimate Premier almost always came from one of the 2 teams that triumphed in Week 1 of the finals with 1v4 and 2v3 but perhaps the rest week before the finals begin gives Sydney the edge the Bulldogs needed to upset that axiom once again.

AFL confirm Grand Final entertainment
The AFL have confirmed international band The Killers will perform at the 2017 Grand Final, while local talent Dami Im will sing the national anthem.
Mike Brady will round out the entertainment once again, and will perform the famous Up There Cazaly.
As well as performing in the Pre-Game Show, The Killers will also host the Premiership Party, and perform in a free concert for fans after 6pm.
“People of the great country of Australia – let us inject our American rock and roll tunes into your sporting event, please! AFL here we come,” The Killers said in an official statement.
AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan said the entertainment would be enjoyed by a range of fans, with the Las Vegas band producing music for all ages.
“I’m so pleased that The Killers have agreed to play on that one day in September as fans of all ages enjoy their music,” McLachlan said.
Im will also be there on grand final day, as the 2016 Eurovision representative for Australia told the media she was honoured to be given the call-up.

Watched 2 men in Dustin Martin and Charlie Dixon turn games on their own but alas the kicking boot deserted one of them when it was most needed and mad Monday it was. No cheap Premiership for the remaining likelys in Adel and Richmond as they always had to beat the other 3 top four sides (or any side like Syd coming through that can beat them) in order to hold up the cup.

A speculative one to watch out for but which club would be more attractive for a Clarko move if Hinkley leaves Port?
Post by: Bird on September 18, 2017, 03:47:18 PM
I see the coaching rumour mill has started with Hinkley. He's a good coach like many but the message can get stale with the one group in 5 years so the GC job would make sense, particularly if Port can use the compo money to lure Clarko from Hawthorn which would be just as attractive to him given the respective state of the playing stocks.he would be nuts to take it and insane not to..

Hinkley has a year to run and Clarko 2 so that would only cost Port one break year although if a coach is ready to take up another opportunity there's no point in clubs upping their contract offers as an inducement to stay. OTOH clubs have to honour payouts if they sack a coach still under contract and both sides of the equation know the rules of the game.
The changes I outlined are all speculative but not beyond Port management's capabilities if they're impatient with Hinkley and he sees a longer future with GC. Hawthorn would be the loser but that's because their coach faces a draft rebuilding period and Clarko might figure there's the possibility of a Premiership with Port. Simply put the planets only have to align for these sorts of sudden moves as the AFL is a very competitive business nowadays and everyone knows today's rooster is tomorrow's feather duster.

Well there'd be plenty of overtures to coaches like Clarkson this time of year, as there would be to a lesser extent for others like Hinkley. Now put yourself in Clarkson's shoes knowing it will be a few years to rebuild the Hawks via the draft. OTOH one or two of the overtures offer the opportunity to do like Blight did with the Crows, so where's the best bet, given he knows intimately the strengths and weaknesses of all the clubs and might figure which ones he could lift to a GF. I'm suggesting with the Hinkley rumours Port is an obvious choice (he has coaching ties to Adelaide with Central District and Port) but are there any others that fit the bill, bearing in mind you'd think the top 4 finishers coaching positions are out of the picture for next year.
Clarko wouldn,t be able t work withe loud mouthed, hypocritical Kockhead. Clarko is already talking finals next year. He has a good run of younguns coming up and things look good for the next few years at Hawthorn. If they had of won a couple of early games there would be some worried teams in this years top 5 (hate the top 8 as the positions of 6,7 & 8 are only money making from AFL). Clarko doesn't need to win more grand finals! He is a proven mentor for many of the people who now sit on various coaching positions of many AFL clubs. He has the full backing of the greatest club in the last 40 years and I don't think money is an issue. I reckon he is the sort of bloke that relishes the challenge of building a team up and taking it to a grand final. Time will I suppose. Besides...Hinkleys signed for another 3 years...
Post by: prodigyrf on September 19, 2017, 11:45:54 AM
Ha! That statement when only one and a half wins separated the top 6 finishers and Melbourne missed out on the 8 with 12 wins, although to be fair to the Crows their last 2 games against Sydney and WC were dead rubbers with those 2 teams playing for their seasons. When it really mattered the Crows had the Giants wrapped up at half time and only had to go goal for goal after that to waltz into a Prelim. If only Port's Charlie Dixon had been watching the shot clock at the death knock against Geelong and not called to play on Port would have been Top 4 with the double chance, but then it was Ryder to Robbie Gray at the death knock that broke Saints fans hearts. If, if, if... :'(
As for- "(hate the top 8 as the positions of 6,7 & 8 are only money making from AFL). " it aint about the money but all about ensuring the team that holds up the Cup is the one that can beat the other 3 Top 4 contenders as we're witnessing now, or any team 5-8 that's good enough to come through them and snatch it.
Post by: Bigfish on September 19, 2017, 12:30:13 PM
The system is designed to give the top four teams an easier road to the Grand Final than the second four teams. The top four teams need to win only two finals to reach the Grand Final, while the second four teams need to win three. The two winning teams of the top four receive a bye in the second week of the playoff and then play at home in the third week, and the two losing teams play at home in the second week. Why? Why give the 5,6,7 & 8 teams a chance? Lets introduce teams 9,10,11 & 12 as well.
As I said...pure money making from the AFL.

Now for the usual Prelims and they often turn out more tense struggles than the GF. Giants and Cats fans have to hope their teams can jump their much rested (rusty?) opponents early and silence their crowds or they'll be in trouble if they can't, although there'll be some serious introspection about the end of season rest week if it's a Cats/GWS Grand Final.
For some of we Mad Monday fans it was watching the Matildas vs Brazil and another superstar in Sam Kerr alongside some very talented team-mates who don't care if you ram home a great goal against them in the first minute, as they're fast approaching the skills and flair of the men's game and they know it. But here's the rub with women's soccer that can match the men for great entertainment and be rewarded accordingly with crowd and TV following. Women's AFL will never match the men's game, nor strut the world stage and so their player remuneration will be reflected accordingly. Right now many young athletic schoolgirls will be donning soccer gear and dreaming of big bucks and stardom and who could blame them for that? My bet is women's AFL will always be the poor country cousin henceforth.

So that was the Cats vs 50000 one eyed Crows supporters and only the rain intervening seemed to prevent a worse shellacking. Hard to see the Giants overcoming 90000 screaming Tiger fans unless they can get off to a blinder and stay well in front. At least the winner facing the Crows will have a more neutral crowd for the GF but Adelaide have one hand firmly on the mug now.They did play well last night, they just seemed to have the ground covered! Cats forgot to turn up it seemed, still McAvaney still managed to crack a stiffy over Dangerfield even though he didn't get a lot of the ball.

Sadly the AFL wont have the balls to suspend cochin (as much of a snipe as selwood is a diver) even though hes on 2 strikes...Nah they were both going for the ball, just unfortunate, nothing really in it.

What did Coch do? I didn't see anything worthy of a suspension.
What an awesome atmosphere! Would have been deafening in the ground.
It's Tiger time this week. Think Collingswood are big and feral. Hold onto your hats!

Well here we are with the only two undefeated finalists as usual that both beat the next best contender in GWS by 6 goals each and apparently it's the first time not one player has played in a GF since inception in 1898 and either both Sloane and Cochin won't play or they both will because it will be hard to justify only one of them missing out. I think wisely the Barry Hall common sense decision will prevail here and both incidents will be deemed purely accidental :-*
To the average person it looked like an accidental knock with 2 players trying to win the ball. Common sense really when you have played 20+ games and this game is either do or die for your years efforts! I expect hard football all the time. Hard and fair...this is what was shown by the 2 players on Sat night. However the nancy boys in the AFL will say that head contact was made and this is unacceptable. Cochin will get rubbed. If the AFL are really so concerned why are they not making helmets necessary? By 2050 we have a game of kick to kick with all players dressed in head to toe protection and with 5 minute quarters to lesson injury risk time! AFL and common sense will never come together for the betterment of the game. Just hope adelaide get smashed in the GF....

Did anyone else think when push came to shove in the 3rd quarter with both sides tiring and the inevitable mistakes creeping in it was 90000 screaming Tiges fans that gave their team the adrenalin to push on past the pain threshold and win the game? GWS are clearly up against it with their lack of fan base. In that regard the GF will be a better test with a neutral crowd. Given all the various club allocations and corporates no competing club can stack the stands so we'll see which remaining team is really the best now.

Nothing to do with with sniping. If you haven't already watched the incident in slow motion ..do it. Clearly shows that he was concentrating solely on the ball. Both players going for the football and going in hard. Commentators also state this whilst broadcasting.Exactly how quality players do it. Not one player tried to remonstrate..a sure sign that they saw the incident as a normal state of play.

I don't follow the tigs but if Cotchin goes I'm going to stop watching AFL he attacked the footy and protected himself whilst doing so both players had there heads down low, if he goes Sloan has to as well which would be A real shame to what should be a pretty decent granny. I think Ellis is in more trouble than Cotchin and Sloan though that hit was a little crude.

Hahaha yeh I'm sure the will notice me and chances are I'll still watch it. it's just really frustrating I've been umpiring footy the last 22 years including a couple of years doin TAC cup on dev list at VFL level. The AFL have changed the game so much in the last 5-10 years it's made it almost impossible to adjudicate. The match review panel seem to forget how quickly things happen on the field , the obvious snipes and bumps hits etc are very easy to adjudicate and the umpires more often than not make reports on the spot, the Cotchin incident wasn't even a free kick but when it's slowed down and played over and over again it becomes report by media and the actual context in which the event occurred is lost.

then one week anything to do with the head is no go, but depends on who you are in the AFL... way too much

So nasty towards us! But you are correct and thats why they are in the reserves....because they are the players who let us down in previous years.
As for our seniors side, it is a big ask taking on Adelaide in the GF but as a supporter I am very happy that we are now playing the type of footy that will keep us in contention for a long time to come and to make it all the way to the grand final after last year is still hard to comprehend.
How far are the Blues away from playing in GF?? ;D At least we have given ourselves the opportunity to win a premiership :cup:

LOL your being a bit harsh on the Blues mate I think they could easily be in contention within a year or 2 if they can get recruit well.
The amount of frustrated supporters has nothing to do with anything. Supporters of all clubs want to blame someone at some stage for poor performances. Look at Bucks, I said on here somewhere that they should keep him and give him another year, yet the rest of the world said he should be sacked. I pick the Pies to be in the top 4 next year.....which Ill hate because I hate them more than captain blood does. But itll show that supporters wanting the coach sacked means nothing, its whats happening within the confines of the clubs that really matters.
Richmonds resurgence this year is due to Neil Balme. Yes the new guys like Nankervous, Caddy, Prestia and Costanga has helped and so has having another year under the belts of Rioli and Butler but truth be known it is Balmy and our game style that is the key to getting us where we are. Oh and not playing those guys that lost todays VFL GF has helped. PRESURE PRESURE PRESURE........

The Tiges just need watch the dogs in last years GF, most thought the swans get up they just gotta believe
They'd have every right to believe Swannie given the level playing field between the contenders. Both have done everything right being undefeated and both beat GWS by 6 goals with home crowds and if anything the Tiges just got to practice their win on the big stage. The GF will be neutral fan territory (if Tiges fans can get their hands on more Melb based tickets being handed on Crows fans have had more time to get their hands on the interstate ones) and neither side has any experience on the big occasion bar both their coaches would you believe? If anything it's Adelaide's to lose finishing minor Premier but all it takes is a bit of misfortune with injury or missing the goals and the other side gets that winning feeling.
From a non club supporter's point of view it looks like shaping up to be a cracker contest but either team can have a dirty one or a blinder and that's nothing to do with the occasion. A wise old coach explained that to me once. It's like this he said. You play on average 5 games of sport and 3 of them are a good hard day at the office for you personally. One of them you can't take a trick, fumbling and bumbling and it feels like you're running underground but the other one you've got the ball on a string and running a foot above it on cloud nine and that's the day you're in the best players. Then there's those days when all the planets align and the majority of the team is having a blinder or a shocker and/or vise versa with your opponents. When the sports Gods are smiling the team feels they could play another game straight after but when they're not they come off absolutely stuffed busting their guts running underground and chasing jumpers. That's a fine dividing line at AFL level but the capricious sports Gods are no respecters of mere mortals with their trivial special occasions and hype >:D
Please pretty please oh great sports Gods smile on MY team just this once and I'll never ask another favour again.. promise.. cross my heart and hope to die :cup:
For the rest of us we just want a good hard day at the office and may the best team win and as one pundit astutely noted that then comes down to the performance of the respective last half dozen selections for each side :-\

Post by: Bigfish on September 25, 2017, 12:49:34 PM
MRP.... "The ball is loose between Cotchin and Shiel. Both players are seeking to win possession and are coming towards each other from right angles," the match review panel said in a statement.
"Cotchin moves down low and braces for contact as Shiel approaches to pick up the ball.
"It was the view of the panel that Cotchin was seeking to win possession as his line of direction was always towards the ball and not his opponent.
"The panel determined that Cotchin was seeking to contest the ball and therefore contact was not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken."
Exactly as it should have been! Thank christ common sense prevailed. Hope the tiges now beat crows by 1 point!!

but being a GF it was a Barry Hall and/or safety in numbers outcome for them both. In terms of intent I thought Sloan was more hangable than Cotchin but the outcome for the latter was worse and home and away season they'd both hang.
Byron Pickett was the turning point as was ruckman Matty Primus as they were both sacrificed for the new reality and winds of change, in Primus case because they clearly wanted the Natanui types in ruck.

Given the AFL's concern about the long term ramifications of concussion and the new ambulance chasing world we live in these blokes pretty well summed up the reasonable expectation with both Sloan and Cotchin-

Someones talking Shite......... "He [Shiel] feels cheated. I've talked to him," Williams said. "I feel for him ... completely cheated by the system ... Dylan had seven possessions, two shots on goal and to lose a player that's an All Australian in the first quarter, he came off and that was it."
The Giants denied Shiel was upset at the MRP decision, saying the players were only disappointed that they lost a preliminary final. Even the Giants coach said there was nothing in it!!!

The same thing happened to Dusty in the hawks game. He won every vote in every other system just like danger did in round 22 yet he didnt get a brownlow vote. We would need to ask the umpires the question why.

Yes it is a popularity vote. Imagine the greatest mark ever taken was by someone from GWS and he was against lesser marks from the big vic clubs.........same as goal of the year.

The champion midfielder won the Norm Smith Medal and a premiership medallion just five days after he took home the Brownlow Medal.
His season has been described by Hawthorn legend Leigh Matthews as the greatest ever put together, and Saturday's masterful performance was the final chapter.
The tattooed superstar is the best player in the game and an approving roar went up around the MCG when he was announced by 2000 winner James Hird as the Tigers' second Norm Smith medallist.
He was the calm in the chaos of Saturday's brutal Grand Final, creating order whenever he got his hands on the football, finishing with a team-high 29 possessions (21 contested) and two goals.

Dusty was very good but when the Crows kicked the first 2 goals and the Tiges missed 2 set shots Houli was setting the example and continued to do so in a great even performance for four quarters. Perhaps he'd have it if he hadn't missed those 2 shots on goal but given his work rate probably understandable. He didn't miss when the Tiges really needed it.

Bachar Houli for four quarters for the Norm Smith for mine so I checked his stats-Yep 100% Houli with Rance a close 2nd. Dusty had patches of brilliance, but consistent for 4 quarters?

Unfortunately workhorses dont get recognition in our modern society. I reckon the Brownlow dazzled the judges.

Some of the YES men at AFL HQ will not be pleased :'(
So the end of season ructions begin in earnest with all the impatient clubs but note that curious byline at the end-
"It is understood Silvers has had several long sessions with Alastair Clarkson in recent weeks."
No doubt because Clarko has had strong overtures from hungry clubs with younger lists that are dangling the carrot. Port obviously weren't in the running so which clubs does that leave?

We're not exactly a happy happy team at Hawthorn-You have the Vickery curse! Things picked up for us once we got rid of him

Good to see gazza getting his wish........just not sure what Scott has up his sleeve for the back line.
Agree with him going home is good - but not sure Geelong need him. Are they just topping up to hope to stay in the 'window'? or is it to sell a few jumpers?
But unless this year was all an act as he'd lost his ticker I think he's not going to be the savior everyone dreams of - hes always broken and falling apart... or was that all an act? Were his injuries all bullShit this season cause he didn't want to play for cold ghost?
As for finishing as Best and Fairest for Cold Ghost - in a team of faeces doesn't mean much when you only played 14 games for the whole year and still win!! Shows how Shit the rest of the team are.
that sorta result reminds me of this kinda bullShit

Its all scaby and terrible looking atm so I cant show it yet but I cant believe how tuff I am now. Im considering joining an outlaw mc club or something ;D
When I went to the tattoo shop I asked if a chubby nearly 50yo is allowed to get his first tattoo and when they found out what it was they agreed it was dedication at its finest, go tiges :cup:

So did I , this was taken just after it was done. I need to go back in a couple of weeks and get it touched up and get the white teeth and eyes which weren't done for some reason.(https://i.imgur.com/ivfm76P.jpg)

The cats have been in the window for 10 years and probably the next few years. probably should have had another premiership though but better than being stuck the in the bottom eight for years on end.
Gazza won't be costing us much, broken or not he is still a handy player, quite happy for him to sit in the forward pocket to take a good defender and slot a goal or two. Might free up tomahawk

nothing more needs to be said... ;D
I need you to tell me something positive about the Tiges after all these years of stirring me about being 9th......go on say they were great...... ;D
Also just want to add that I got my first tattoo.
So did I , this was taken just after it was done. I need to go back in a couple of weeks and get it touched up and get the white teeth and eyes which weren't done for some reason.
Ok heres mine just after it was done too. Way too much of a close up because you can see the blood etc in the yellow and to be honest the photo doesn't do a lot for it but its all i got atm.
I wanted more white too but the tattooist said something about me being white enough ;)
Go tiges ;D

Some people speculated that it was Nathan Broad.
They have also speculated that the young lady involved has been compensated.
All speculation of course.

It’s a non event, no charges laid.Thing is, who cares! Great rack, great medal, great team!

it was probably the plan all along... knowing the AFL would pay for it to go away, hang ya cans out with a medal, theres 1/2 a house paid for.
6mths it will be forgotten.. like the young chick that was being plowed by the footy manager or whatever it was few years ago..
