A dog act.
(someone had to say it)

AFL Friday Footy Fix: Three votes for JC superstar, two weeks for Bailey's headbutt, one nightmare quarter sinks the Dogs

Anything less than 3 games will see an explosion of head butts.

The point is whether you wish to cede this power to the field umpires in an AFL GF.
I suppose it is better than ceding victory to the thugs.

After that 1st quarter, nobody wants to play the cats in a GF.

Mr Balme tells me it is a good idea, but the problem is in adjudication.
A GF decided by a dog stager fainting near his opponent?

Don’t think about it. I might change my mind before the game.

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions: Round 12

Yes. Many demons went missing last week and an infusion of a new five, must unsettle things a little. The two sides both play a pressure game. The swans game is better than the demons at the moment.

Forgive me Pete. I have sinned.

It seems to me that the dogs always have trouble with big high marking forwards.
Hence, I think the cats are a good bet unless Hawkins has a night off.

Western Bulldogs vs Geelong Cats: AFL Friday night forecast

There are a gazillion magpies in the park today.
It is a sign. I’m sure.

Cats, Crows, Suns, Swans, Pies, Lions

Nervous about the crows.
I could be wrong about all those picks.

Cam. You reminded me of the old saying: “You never notice a good umpire”

Overly officious umpiring is making AFL all but unwatchable

A Murder of crows
A committee of vultures
An ooze of umpires

Maybe there is something worse than the stand rule. The ruck nomination stuff is also very very bad.

Thank you Cameron.

There is an unaddressed OH&S issue.
Non stop yelling of stand does long term damage to the vocal chords and hearing.
The AFL caused this increased damaging sound load.
The legal cases just a few years down the track will be awesome.

Demons will lose to the Swans, they will get over it and then have another winning streak into next year.
You heard it here first.

Fremantle’s defeat of Melbourne reminds us how hard it is to build an AFL dynasty

It is a relief for the winning streak to end now.
It is good to get it over and done with.
I have tipped the Swans this week.

Also, I wondered about the reasoning of May always doing the kick ins. No understudy to take over when he gets injured.

Nah. It was Tiger supporters beating up on their coach.

Six Points: Time for Eagles and Simpson to part ways, and why wounded Weitering wasn't what cost the Blues

4 weeks for such a half hearted tap

With the new approach to tackling and bumping, umpires should take into consideration player warnings.
e,g, #1 Opponents! I am exiting the defensive area with the ball. Please clear the area immediately.
If you do not, you run the risk of a collision which may cause bruising, broken bones and/or internal organ damage.

e,g, #2 Attention! Continuing on your present path will result in a collision which may cause physical damage. Please slow down.

e.g. #3 You! The blond one! Stop faking contact and trying to milk free kicks or you will be physically thrown from the arena.

AFL Friday Footy Fix: Swans and Tigers put on a classic despite the controversy - and why THAT non-50 was the right decision

There were 30 or 40 bad applications of bad rules prior to the kick controversy at the end.
Focusing on the end means that bewildering decision making in the rest of the game is not addressed.
Attendances down? It might just have something to do with silly rules and their inconsistent application.

McDonald out of Melb side with an ankle injury.

Ahh Dem, my saviour!
Just when I thought I had the worst tipping round evah, I look at Dem’s tally and feel so much better.
For this week,
Swans
Giants, in a close one.
Cats with some hesitancy.
The Demoning.
Dogs, when I pick them they lose.
Coin toss predicts the Suns
Saints.
Dunno
and lastly the Bombers

Erk! I might have stood in it.
How do you get this off your shoe?

The Fremantle bubble has burst, and they could be in freefall
