if they lose to the Suns there should be real consideration of moving him on. this list has a real chance this season, even now.
AFL News: North OF Melbourne? McGuire's bold idea to rejuvenate Roos, Scott slams sub rule after Anzac Day drama
given my club’s season is over there is plenty of time to ponder the future
until we get a 19 game season with 20 teams,, my views are:
– I am warming to the idea that each Melbourne team would visit each non-Victorian team EVERY year. most times big clubs are doing it 5-7 times a year. just make it 8. make it a feature of a national comp, a recognition of our federation, the impact of travel, the factors that saved the VFL clubs, the unfair GF hosting, the historic wrongs under the former 8 of interstate teams coming to Melbourne to face lower ranked teams etc. (that would mean Richmond going interstate 8 times; playing the other 9 Victorian teams once; then say a mix of 3 interstate teams coming to Melbourne, and Dreamtime and the one of Carlton/Collingwood/Melbourne.)
[I suspect there may be a mathematical glitch if applied across the comp, but they should just make it the foundation stone. it’s a sunday and I am on holidays. actual thinking hurts.]
– minimum 7 day break for Perth teams after playing anywhere other than Adelaide or Perth
– 2 extra players on the list, some limitations on use, but recognition of the impacts of travel

they only just beat Richmond so I am not rating them yet
Footy Fix: The Cats are inevitable - and they're smarter, clutcher, quicker, and scarier than ever
they should make it 9 a side. that will tip the balance back a bit.
Cricket's long-standing battle between bat and ball: Is the IPL money-driven 'show' ruining the contest of the game?
you can make a supporting 68* off 28 and go un-noticed
the Shark is jumped
Bairstow goes ballistic, clubs 45-ball ton to spearhead highest T20 run chase EVER
he just simply has to get picked
we should stack the team with utter tonkers and just go for it
in any order, must haves:
Warner
Head
Mitchy
JFM
David
might as well haves (Inglis+1 to play)
Maxy
Inglis
Short
Allrounderishly:
Stoinis
Add Zampa and one quick, two if Maxwell playing well enough to play and bowl.
Wade in the squad only. Add a Hardie type.
but who cares, it’s a joke format these days.
must not tour: Smith.
wildcarders: one of Cartwright or Silk for middle order and fielding genius.
MUST WATCH: JFM obliterates IPL bowling attack - even Bumrah! - for 15-ball 50... and keeps going
Scott didn’t always give credit where it had been earned. With a second flag he may have mellowed
Footy Fix: The Cats are inevitable - and they're smarter, clutcher, quicker, and scarier than ever
Cats were locked in to top 4 a week back
I spruiked their midfield and didn’t get complete consensus, which is fine. Sometimes stars emerge under our noses. Consistency and winning are good accelerants
Sounds like Scott is coaching well. He gets a constantly refreshed hand. It must be nice
Cameron was the steal of the century
Didn’t see a second but it sounds like Richmond’s loss at the cattery late on in 17. We walked away knowing we could beat them, with a different approach. Ball on the deck and unpredictability is their kryptonite (Lynch’s huge night out in the 19 PF an exception but also complemented by taps and loose ball goals and Prestia and lambert both playing blinders charging into 50)
It will be a good test for Voss, can he sacrifice or at least balance their 1-wood?

Watto had fewer standalone moments because his best efforts opening with Katich set so many innings up for those that followed.
The possibiliy of Jofra Archer's career coming to an early end will rob cricket of a bowler with so much talent
i think in this situation it should be eligible for goal of the year as well. there is no goal without the mark. and it was a good finish, especially from altitude.
WATCH: Is this absolute SCREAMER from Jamie Elliott the Mark of the Year?
Hill by mouth
Henry Hill
Is up one still
Up with Jack
And up with Jill
Nobody gives
A hill of beans
For this hill
Of hilly has-beens
But Clem Hill
Should have had a hill
Named after him
Called Clem Hill Hill
For a man called Hill
He made a mountain of runs
Including 99, 98, 97…
He was heading to one!

the ball didn’t reach the stumps. deflection not overthrows

as a neutral (ish – wanted the Giants to win), this is my considered position:
– 2016 was about the most even top end on record – 3 teams on 17 wins, 3 teams on 16, the Dogs on 15 and they wold have been 16 had they won the meaningless last game against freo (they were going to be 7th even if they won, on %)
– The Giants beat the Swans in the first week
– The Dogs beat the Giants
– therefore the Dogs beating the Swans was not unexpected, on form.
– the Swans are susceptible to GF underwhelm, as 14 and 22 attest
Quite possibly some umpiring decisions were poor and mostly favoured the Dogs. But not enough to completely account for the relatively lacklustre Swans performance, and it just feels like the Dogs were on a roll and had momentum and destiny on their side. it was a a one point margin 12 mins into the last quarter. the 2012 Swans grabbed destiny. the 16 version couldn’t.
It reminds me of attempts to diminish the Hawthorn 2008 achievement.
I am happy for the Dogs to have that great series of moments.
and the Swans and/or their fans should get over it.
'Murky decision-making, novice administration and unaccountable governance' - how the AFL has fallen
Yes that is just bizarre as you can commit an act of violence, non football related. And the potential for injury has no bearing on it.
However do a footbally sort of thing, like bump or tackle, and you will get extra medicine because of the damage you could have caused.
Along with the Cameron good behaviour judgment that ignored his bad behaviour / this guy and his Tribunal have absolutely lost the plot
Mixed news for Giants as Greene, Hogan Tribunal verdicts revealed
I’m in another state, support an MCG team, and would prefer we play on the moon than at Shocklands
'Murky decision-making, novice administration and unaccountable governance' - how the AFL has fallen
Yes. The Houli precedent. That isn’t
The AFL's Tribunal system is an overcomplicated mess designed to create drama - it needs a radical overhaul, fast
For the romance, and because, I would open with Gav Stevens
What’s in a name? The all-time great Steve XI
I reckon Wello and Amy Smith can beat her in the shorter and longer formats
But they are a real good crop.
'I'm excited to challenge myself': Test spinner turns to a new state in search of greater opportunities
They played at the G in round 8 and in Sydney in round 9
But they did have the first 7 at Shocklands
'Murky decision-making, novice administration and unaccountable governance' - how the AFL has fallen
I used to confuse the kids by referring to ANF (that’s what we called it on school in Sydney in the late 70s) or even Aussie Rules.

Reform starts with calling accidents crashes
You go airborne when you are going a different direction to a player going for the ball – you take the risk.
It will change the game, but it has been decided the game needs to change.
Quite happy if the tribunal issue warnings and suspended sentences while players make this necessary adjustment

Close enough if good enough. Richmond in 2019 showed everyone how you can te your run to perfection, especially when you already know you are good enough if you can get there
