Very small crowd for a club with a big membership.
Game was painful to watch and the umpires were a major feature of the game.
I suggest that each of the above issues are related. (there are other issues).
I expect that the AFL to bury its head in the sand until things are far far worse.

I tipped Lions after a coin toss. Should be a cracker of a game.
The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions: Round 13
Richmond, although it hurts to pick them
Carlton with zero confidence. Carlton would be in trouble if Peter gets off the leash.
Hawthorn because of the wet and the shortage of hairdryers at Optus Stadium.
Brisbane because of the HGA, but it will be close.
Toby to prevail over North.
Demons as a loyalty pick. but I think the Pies have this one.
The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions: Round 13
Yeah, I would still have Brisbane as #1.
The Demons will miss McDonald bigly. Tomlinson, Lever, Hunt, Bowey, Sparrow, ANB are all out of form. Petty is limping and has a bad shoulder. So, I expect a rough few weeks from the Demons.
And I also think you underrated the Pies. I am tempted to back Collingwood this week.

Pretty good Yatz.
The cats impressed me in their last game. Can they do that again?
Melbourne have suffered from the problem of not dropping under performers from a winning side.
They are now free to do that. I expect things to improve.

And that makes two articles by Les that I really like.
thanks Les.
The incredible weight of terrible umpiring
What should be in the AFL news is the low crowd numbers.
One wonders about the impact of rule changes of the last couple of years.

Alternatively, you can have Melksham for nothing.

Trade him for Rampe?

You may be correct, but we should never waste an opportunity to sink the slipper into Collingwood.

We could get over this little hurdle by changing the rules for Collingwood games.
At the start of the game give a Collingwood player 5 uncontested shots on goal and then revert to normal rules.
Non Collingwood supporters would find it less frustrating.

This bodes badly for Melbourne. I can see a rash of free kick goals heading Collingwood’s way.
(But then again, it is nothing new)

Look. He plays for Collingwood. Therefore he is always in the wrong and should not get any free kicks.
17 other clubs all agree.
End of story.

Toby Ainsworth?

Maybe, just maybe, protection of players from injury is a secondary consideration?
The theatre (read that as this week’s ratings) is much more important.

It is becoming harder to watch. Hockey, Lacrosse, Soccer, Rugby and Hurling await the adventurous.

…adds a pantomime villain element to the game that makes it even more entertaining
If that is a justification for conning the umpires and flaunting the rules then may I boldly suggest rather than award free kicks against these cheaters, we throw the offenders into the lion cage. If they’re quick enough they won’t be too seriously harmed and it would be great theatre! Great entertainment. Great theatre. Just not football.

the main reason for the demons loss was that they didn’t kick enough goals.
They kept the swans to what should have been a losing score.
If Melbourne had kicked 5 goals per quarter then the demons would have won.

I wasn’t referring to anything specific. I thought Langdon got a raw deal all night.
AFL Saturday Study: No May, no Melbourne? How magnificent Swans exposed the Dees... again
Yes. Sam would have at least matched the number of goals kicked by the two Browns.
The trouble with Sam is VFL/AFL consistency, he seems to go missing for long periods. I’m sure he will improve over time, but I don’t think he is there yet,
AFL Saturday Study: No May, no Melbourne? How magnificent Swans exposed the Dees... again
First, I tipped the swans and thought they deserved their win. They were in control of the game for longer periods than the demons.
Yeah, we miss May, but we also miss a fit Petty.
My take on this game: Bowey made lots of bad choices, Hunt, Neal-Bullen and Sparrow need a spell in the VFL (about a year). Salem needs a couple of practice games(5 or 6).
No comment on the umpires, because I don’t understand the rules anymore. The only question that I must ask is whether Langdon killed an umpires dog during his week off?

Is there cause for hope at Essendon?
