AFL Season 2023

[Brodlach]

PADDY McCartin has announced his retirement from AFL football after his run of concussion issues.

Nic Naitanui has today informed teammates of his decision to retire from footy.

Love Nic Nat but he really retired three seasons ago

[Vamos]

Gridley score of 92 today, first time under 100.

Jack Riewoldt’s turn to announce his retirement.
Really thought he would head up to the Suns with Dimma and play a year or two

His chase down tackle in the 1st qtr of the 2017 GF set the tone for the day.

Good players become great when they step up in GFs

After all these retirements, I'm more surprised that Phil Davis hasn't officially pulled the pin.

Appears the Teflon may have lost its effectiveness.

I just dont understand why the ball needs to be bounced!
Geelong v Collingwood some absolute shockers and not recalled, and when there is a fair bounce commentators make comment "great bounce"

Surely we don't go to the footy to watch umpires bounce the ball, all the players want is a fair go.

100%.....

If the 'first bounce' has to stay for some weird mythical reason do it like the first pitch in baseball. Not part of the actual game but get people in to do the honor first bounce before the game starts, in between the coin toss and the game actually starting.

[Wedgie]

Letting bad bounces go resulted in at least one momentum swing.
A constant cause of frustration to me. Sad part about it most of these clowns can't even throw it up straight either.
Scrap the bounce and put the time that was previously put into practising the bounce into practising throwing the ball up straight! Maybe get some basketball refs in!

I go to watch my fav Razor Ray. He's always the star of the match

Little Johnny Howard type moments on a weekly occurrence if that happened.

Hardwick to coach Gold Coast for next 6 years.

If he can't get them to finals should just close the place down.

Yet another terrible decision.

[Jim05]

I think it’s a good decision. Be interesting to see how many staff or players follow him
