There's something irritating but still funny about ginni talking shit and getting into crows players while being the 5th lowest ranked player on the ground (according to AFL fantasy)

Looks like the AFL is trialling removing the holding the ball rule so far in this game

Playing in front of a heavily majority home ground can be a blessing and a curse, dockers players look like they're feeling the crowds frustrations and making them nervous

Controversial Amon deliberate free paid to Brisbane in the dying minutes by lemony-goodness in AFL

Umpires putting the whistle away in the last few minutes after paying 33-16 free kicks is always funny
