I guess we all are , in one way or another

More accurate to say a monkey's nephew

None of the teams that were 0-2 last season played finals.
Brisbane and GWS were 1-2
GWS were 1-3.

There was a lot of change post byes last season.
GWS, Sydney, and Carlton were all out of the eight after round 15.
It wasn't until round 23, that the teams in the eight were settled.

And pretty fair ball use.

Fair assumption that you'll be donning the Winkle Pickers ready to insert them into the rectum of your latest whipping boys!

I somehow doubt that your HFO is very H at all.

So you're saying they added an extra three for being stupid?
If we suspended players for being stupid, our competition would have so few players that the only format we could play is AFLX!

The sooner the AFL removes the clubs abilities to bring legal cases to the tribunal the better. Remove the right to appeal as well. Put the player(s) involved on the spot, that's it. No pre-prepared statements. This way the intention of the rules can be enacted, without having to tie the game up in...

As there will be no AFL superstar compensation and he doesn't play with a "big club", Jimmy will get 6-8wks. It was no worse than SPP's hit, but the AFL will go hard at him. It was worse than the SPP bump every way you look at it. Webster lined up the guy, elbow up and jumped off the grou...

Was Simpkin knocked out? Was stretchered off? Any facial injuries? He was concussed, so I'm not sure why any of those questions are relevant. If you elect to bump when you have a clear choice, then you run the risk of suspension if the player is concussed, or was at risk of concussion due to the bu...

Yep...You're right.

Was Simpkin knocked out? Was stretchered off? Any facial injuries? Don’t think contact was made to his head. Whiplash I think got him. Maybe time to leave the thinking to those that can. Looks like head high contact to me. https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_1%2C$multiply_0.7554%2C$ratio_1.776846%2C...

He's a certainty for round 1. Finished last season strongly and has carried into the pre-season.
King, Membrey, and Sharman will be the tall forwards.

This is our worst quarter for the year!

Delivery inside 50 is terrible this quarter.

Will get the StKilda tax plus pay for Maynard’s disgusting act. Worth 2 at best. What an odd comment. The hit was late and worse than Powell-Pepper's bump last week. Clearly worth a minumum of four weeks. If it was Simkin on Webster, we'd be calling for a big suspension. https://twitter.com/i/statu...

Agreed! Clearly is happy to give up his spot in the team.

Howard was carrying an injury and he was badly missed in the final v GWS.

Coaches are all the same...Whilst finals are in the frame, they will pick the best 22 (23) that gives the side the best possible chance of winning the game. Once you're out of contention, then you can play with the line up. So, if we have a fit forward line to choose from, I think Caminiti gets far ...
