Spot on Justin don’t want to review every decision. In the Richmond Carlton game Carlton had a free against them for front on contact, but it was Maurice Rioli who made the contact to his team mate? That is outright error nothing subjective like a ball skimming past an arm and flicking hair on slow motion replay maybe deviating in real time! Carlton won the game so nothing made of it but these things happen all the time. However Freo have had some rotten luck playing Carlton let’s not forget Jack Newnes goal after siren for innocuous free.

As for accidentally saying the comment the dissent is not normally for one statement and Freo players including Clark were clearly remonstrating with the umpire before the kick!!!

Mistaken identity? Docker at centre of dissent controversy claims he abused HIMSELF as AFL ticks off drama

If you look at Carlton’s first 11 games in 2022 and their last 11 games in 2023 they have 18 wins loses 4 loses. During both periods they have beaten every other team in competition except for one? That team is Brisbane, Cartlon played Brisbane both times during their lossing run!

Why every team will win their AFL preliminary final... and why they'll lose

Spot on nobody has seen this because it was unnecessary. Why try to smother a ball 90 metres out and leave the ground leaving yourself open to a baulk? Brayshaw is one of Melbourne’s best uses going into 50? Collingwood knew that and wanted him to earn his kick. Maynard would be 10 to 12 kg heavier he knew once the ball was touched that a collision could now be orchestrated to send a message. Spot on about Dangerfield and Green too. Maybe somebody will try to smother Nick Daicos kicks and knock him out, wonder how Maynard would feel about that?

'Wanted to hit, wanted to hurt': Brayden Maynard - the guilty man found innocent

Grest article finally somebody who knows how priority system helped the competition!! Getting rid of the priority pick has seen teams dwell at the bottom for decade. Teams have always experiment at the end of the year. This is a fact in evey sport but in AFL it is tanking. As a result teams have a decade of no success! I am Blues supporter I feel for the Roos and even the Eaglea it is terribly hard to get back when you get 1 A grade kid into your club of 45 players!!!

The AFL has more pressing issues to worry about than tanking - so let's stop talking about it

Yeah not sure about a roller coaster, maybe the little one at Dreamworld’s kids park? The roller coaster is our club stealing money from their supporters by pretending that we are better than we are against the rest of the AFL. I give credit to Voss Sayers Cooke and the players for taking ownership now! But pay us back,or at least the poor souls who you brought onboard this year!!! I am a longtime member and I will walk if the club doesn’t take ownership! Massive injury list at the start of the year that they hid with TBC…rubbish! We have a list of players who are gone in Vossy’s mind, including a number 3 pick and the best player in the VFL! If we can’t develop players and we can’t keep players fit! Or we decide to keep injury prone players while not offering contracts to Setterfield & Sticker! Then payback memberships! Love the article but we have not won more than 4 games in a row since 2001! Judd!!! Don’t give him credit for any level of success!!! He took the money and retired at 31! We never got top 4 with him and he left Gibbs and Murphy high dry! Let’s not forget Lenny Hayes & Rory Sloane did their ACLs at 31 but continued for their club. Don’t dare put Judd in the inspirational category he set us back 5 years losing Kennedy pick 2 for Fifth place in 1 season!!! I respect you passion but this article shows your age! I saw 4 flags in my life and a 20 win 2 loss season!

A rollercoaster of hope and heartbreak: The pain of being a Carlton supporter

How can Voss play Plowman if front of Kemp? Why Dow is not getting a game but his “Big Bulls” mid can’t get near the ball? Why does the injury merry-go-round continue but Sayers solution is to use “to be allocated” (tba) and Russell is still at the club?

Footy Fix: The AFL's best kick has turned the Crows from pretenders to contenders - any chance of tagging him?
