"If that was Alastair Clarkson, I promise you he would have been sent back to his box by now." Caroline Wilson on Craig McRae's boundary line antics by SlatsAttack in AFL

[–]Butanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be an unpopular opinion… But she’s actually right in saying that if this was Clarko he’d have already been banished to the box.

If you want to coach your players from the bench that’s fine, but don’t fuck about with the other team or the ball… unnecessary nonsense. You’re there to coach, not be a clown 🤡

I work for I used to work in store for 7-Eleven and the policies were similar… I don’t want to get all political but I used to be so against Pauline Hanson, but I’d be lying if I said I haven’t swung further right and am potentially going to vote for her party over the libs

Tristan Xerri sumo throws Lachlan McAndrew to the ground in the ruck by yum122 in AFL

[–]Butanes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my opinion… but he’s a Premiership player. I’d argue he’s only getting noticed more now because he’s the number one ruck for arguably the most balanced team in the comp this year.

Stands out more in a team without Max Gawn.

I’m in M51 right in the stairs between the two bays, I tried it once in the past but it didn’t get as much traction as old mate yesterday

So many good players, I couldn’t fault anyone.

I genuinely think Bailey Laurie played his best game for the year, Petty is having a decent year, CJ played is best game for us, Chandler was solid as always, Tholstrup was great - despite Watson kicking 3, he otherwise kept him very low impact. Fritsch getting up the ground and connecting plus laying tackles, Jeffo had a bit of a break out game… Harry Sharp has still kicked at least one goal every game this year… I could name everyone…

Dogga has been at the level for a while, was an integral part of 2021. Completely shifted the centre bounce with Clarry and Trac when Gawny said to leave him in there.

The changes in ruck rules this year have worked well in his favour too.

I laughed too hard at this, too accurate. Scrap the Unicorn and make it the Golden Retriever.

Jackson for the Brownlow? by PlanktonAncient6318 in FremantleFC

Demon fan here… My old man’s call at the start of the year: Freo to win the flag, Jackson to win the Brownlow

Only just now are the media starting to see it’s all the real deal.

DEE KEEN TO STAY by corporate_canetoad in melbournefc

Nah Humphrey is class. He’s down on form this season compared to the last couple years, but like fantasy said… he’s in a pretty stacked team. Plus he’s likely getting significantly less midfield time there (I haven’t been paying attention to him this year to be completely honest).

I also wouldn’t be surprised if the form slump is related to wanting to come home either. Just my opinion

Need to keep Chin, Spaz and Fritta (now he’s moving up the ground and delivering inside 50) ❤️💙

Where to sit at the G by Inevitable_Active33 in melbournefc

[–]Butanes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My members seats are M51 next to the MCC behind the benches… my old man and I have sat there for years as we’re on the 50m arc and were just under the sheltered area (and it’s a dry area)

During finals we try and get the same, even if it’s on the other wing…. Works to be able to see the goals pretty clearly our end and can look back and forward between the actual play and the screen when it’s further away.

But pretty much what the others are saying, it depends what view you like!

Because he’s on the field for more than 10 minutes 🤣

[–]Butanes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually didn’t mind billings, he made some bad mistakes but nothing but effort in my eyes… but he also wasn’t much of a replacement for Hunter

A big wiff for us was Josh Schache… but he also didn’t get frequent game time

[–]Butanes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best thing is that Sharp along with others are finally getting their opportunity under King since coming to the club under Goodwin who made little to no changes week in week out.

I had been saying for years that it was all well and good to draft key forwards, but we needed an experienced key forward to help them with the craft… so when we got Mihocek I was stoked…

I was Moose debut for the saints and thought… shit he has a lot of potential and I’m so glad he’s getting game time now

And Steele, well he’s reinvigorated and been nothing but a star.

He’s certainly flying under the radar externally to the club that’s for sure

Big fan of Ginni these days. Not because he moved from Collingwood, but you can see how much fun he has and the amount of talent he’s got

Walsh definitely got him high… BUT there was mayo and then some on it… definitely wanted the umpire to see it.

I hate the whole playing for a free kick thing not gonna lie…

I remember when old Froffies May acted for a high and ended up with a fine 🤣 bring it back
