Aiden Grace has a good heart for the dogs …. Which is hard to find these days.

Dear Glenelg,

If you want to throw this one, giving the win to the Panthers and the spoon to Port, no one will be critical of that decision.

Regards

All of us.

There is definitely a disconnect between the laws of the game stating a bump is legal yet the interpretations the tribunals especially in incidents where there is no high contact.

With that said i can completely understand why the AFL is as strict as it is. We all know the damage caused by concussion. Then the most irking one for me is when people say 'todays players are soft etc'. We know when it comes to car crashes its the size and speed that does damage, its no different on a football field. 90% of footballers these days are 6ft monsters who run like the wind with barely an inch of fat on them, their not smoking darts at half time etc. Even Houston is 6ft 1, 88kg (apparently) and would have body fat % under 10. His a machine!

Personally i think we are now at a point in the game where the AFL just needs to start cutting the 'grey areas' out. Potentially the only answer is that the bump is illegal and that tackling is the only legal action when 'attacking' a player with the ball. It would take a generation to come to fruition and maybe that would happen naturally anyway. Do juniors practice bumping, cant say ive seen our juniors practicing it?

I played my footy from the late 80's and into the 90's. (when according to the masses, it was peak physical and awesome).

I coached from the mid 90's until about 2010.

I never once coached someone or was I ever coached to bump. Was always taught, if you're close enough to bump - lay a tackle. Back then, not for fear of getting it wrong and getting suspended, but because there's a chance the player just bounces off of you, you will look stupid and the play is ineffective. Why would you bump someone with the ball?

Definitely taught to block, shepherd, run interference on the opposition (who don't have the ball) to give your team mate some extra space to get it or dispose of it etc..... but knowing also that if you knocked the bloke to the ground in doing that, or grabbed / grappled him, the umpire might call it up.

I don't think the bump is dead, I think the shirtfront, (old reportable offence was a charge) is dead.... and so it should be.

Well done Brisbane.
Was always going to be a tough ask for the Blues.
Took it up to the Lions in the 1st half but Brisbane stepped it up a gear after half time and we couldn’t go with them.

Happy with the season and proud of their efforts given where they were 12 weeks ago.

Well done to the Blues and to you for your banter Amber!

Good upside for Carlton you would think.

Done deal for Dylan Stephens.

Sydney get North’s future special assistance pick + pick 44 this year.

North get Dylan Stephens + pick 25.

Is that the future special assistance pick that was given with the caveat that it would be reviewed?!

Kinda hard to review it if you allow someone to trade it now.

WCE with picks 1 & 22 (and then 36), you would think they might like to get a better hand than that, North have the picks, make sense from WCE's position to do a deal, esp when the Roos might be eyeing off the WA lad and the talk is that this draft is not deep Then make an offer worth while and stop dicking around with 15, 18 and 21.

Yes we would like more picks especially inside the top 10. That's why the price is 2, 3 and 15.

We are happy to take Pick 1 to thr draft. If you want puck 1, then get serious. Otherwise don't worry about it and concrete on something else.

It doesn't matter what the Vic media commentary is, we don't care how much of a hand out or leg up the AFL is trying to give you.

You want pick 1, then you know what it will take.
Is that like banging two 3’s and a 4 over the weekend and claiming you banged a 10?

It counts if its in one transaction.

A pepper steak pie from Tumby Bay Bakery.
Stopped in at Kimba back in 2022 at the Big Galah Cafe and they get them in from Tumby. I said to the missus that it was the best pie I’ve ever had. Even eclipsing the one I had at Stone Hut circa 2006. She scoffed at me. On the weekend we headed over to Streaky Bay & stopped at Kimba again for lunch. Still selling Tumby Bay pies - and again, the best pie I’ve ever had.

I rate that you can quote time, place and quality of pies you've eaten!

Ginnivan to Adelaide for the McAdam future second round pick

Surely not

Given Adelaide have Rachele and Rankine would they need another small forward / potential midfielder type. Reckon they would have more pressing areas to distribute salary cap space.

Would be interesting to know what wage demands Ginnivan has. Has had the well document behavioral issues but has the potential to be a B+ / A Grader in the future. The big plus is his marketability, get Ginnivan and you pretty much capture every 12-15 year old girl in the country, . :lol:

His social media reach is crazy. 122k followers on instagram, compared to say Tex Walker 119k, Josh Rachele 34k as examples.

Are we trading based on Insta followers now? Man I’m old…

Some of it still available on Youtube

Even though she has shown she is a superstar player I guess AFLW came a decade too late to show her true ability. A younger Phillips would have been unstoppable.

Will make a great coach when she is ready.

She is by far the best player to have played AFLW.
No one even comes close to her.
I agree, superstar

At U14 level she was rated the best talent in junior football in SA.

She was good, but I can assure you she wasn't rated the best junior talent in SA at 14.

Makes sense that it’s Port that was targeted, stolen computers generally have less security features

Is it AFL money or footy money you know footy as sport that existed wayyyyy before the AFL existed and built on by SANFL and the governors of footy in this state

AS Dedja pointed out the money generated by SMA due to footy in this state is backed by the government

Port and Adelaide Footy club clubs could be wiped out tomorrow (wont happen) by the AFL if they wanted to under their licencing structure and two new AFL franchises created and played at Adelaide oval

the $$$ would still come in

its footy money not Port and Crows money

I used to go to Port games as a neutral thanks to free tickets from the SANFL.

I brought beers and chips to support footy in this state not Port.

So I want the profit from my $$$ going back to the SANFL thanks.

Correct - $88 million back to the SANFL Clubs via the stadium hosting games, not exclusively by the Crows or Power.

If there was a Gold Coast Suns fan on here they could also legitimately have claimed to contribute to the funds back to the SANFL Clubs.

I'm gonna agree that the atmosphere from the weed infested dirt surrounds of Footy Park would have been pretty shite considering the trial game was played in Port Lincoln.

Ben Duckett:

Duckett also felt without England’s ‘Bazball’ tactics under Test coach Brendon McCullum, Jaiswal — and other players across the world — might not have had the confidence to play in such a manner.

“When you see players from the opposition playing like that, it almost feels like we should take some credit that they’re playing differently than how other people play Test cricket,” Duckett said

They really are sipping the Bazball Koolaid aren't they.

If only there was actually a Melb supporter on this site to come on and blindly support him / tell everyone to pump the brakes.
