The SPP report is disgraceful, not even 1/10th as bad as Burgoynes tackle earlier this season,

I feel for Lynch, if some grub was trying to punch somewhere I'd had surgery on purpise he'd get more than a gentle pish to the neck.
There seems to be a real media witch hunt for him atm.

Wasn’t the hand that Lynch had surgery on apparently, it was his good hand.
People know that Lynch has issues with his discipline so most defenders will try to push him over the edge especially when it comes to finals time

Shows how stupid Hurley is, doesn't know his left from his right, his intentions were obvious.

I saw this report and that he got a week and then saw Dixon getting a fine and a small fine at that.

I was wondering if the MRP got the 2 confused.

This pretty much sums it up now. Defenders know Lynch is starting to get media attention now and his discipline is now in the spot light, so they will be at him now.

They basically went walk about across the top end to avoid the authorities when the stolen generation policies were in vogue.

If the AFL wasn't so money driven it would be awesome if ithe game stayed in Darwin. You could see how much it meant to the locals.

It’s more than the money though.
Both are Melbourne based clubs and their members would be filthy if they had to give up a home game.
I would love us to play up there more if someone else is willing to give up a home game.
Ideally the NT would have their own team but they won’t even give Tasmania one.

No Way NT ever gets it's own AFL team, the $$$ don't stack up to have one.

The Dreamtime game will not be played up here again for the obvious reasons listed by Jim (only way possible if the current new normal in Vic is in place this time next year) - Hi @Corona Man

I can see the AFL telling their play-thing (Gold Coast) that they're playing their Doug Nicholls Rd games up here for the next 2-3 years until the novelty of having to watch the Gold Coast rubs off up here (Darwin is currently zoned to them).

I would love us to play there every year especially as we are trying to grow out Tiwi zone and we have some good indigenous prospects coming through in the next couple of years. Obviously our members would have to get some sort of replacement game access in Melbourne similar to what the Hawks and North get now.

I think if the AFL were serious about expanding the game, they'd take the initiative and schedule games in Darwin more frequently and swap around the clubs each year.

I think this year has shown teams can adapt easy enough to playing away from "home".

Have a roster, tell each club they must host a home game in the NT over say a 6yr period - give NT 3x games per year.

Small investment from AFL Clubs.

Also, i'd love to see a club take the step and instead of creating a one off jumper for Sir Doug Nichols round, actually work with local mob, design a jumper and come out start of the season and say this is our clash or away jumper for this season.

Bombers are easily the most popular team up here and you can throw a blanket over Richmond, Geelong, hawthorn, Collingwood, Adel and WC (the last two based on ex-pats) as the next most popular.

Locals would love to see Essendon each year. Crowd was 60:40 Bombers on the night.

Sheedy started it all bringing the Bombers up twice in the late 80s then the drafting of Long, Rioli and now Tippa, never been a shortage of top end flavour to bombers to keep the majority up here on the bandwagon.

As you said with the Tiwi Islands being zoned to Essendon that just adds to the love affair in the top end.

Davey twins as F/S picks next year and a couple of other indigenous F/S picks in the next few years plus the Tiwi NGA picks so hopefully we can get back to having a few more lads in the side.
Essendon has a long partnership with the Tiwi Bombers and is trying to grow it even more

Yep, you just wonder how Christian can come up with that. Sometimes i think he likes to throw a curveball at the AFL with their rules that he doesnt agree with where he would like it tested at tribunal. Surely when he handed down this penalty he knew Port would take it to the tribunal

Wasn't even paid as a free kick FFS. Throw it out, with Christian preferably.

Hosie follows team rules and looks to give off instead of having a snap around the corner but turns it over. When will coaches back their players in to use their talent. Snaps are bread and butter for any half decent forward with goal sense.

Drives me nuts with todays game.
Are coaches that scared of kicking a point??

This is a B grade game!
Horrible skills on a perfect night, and I'm still baffled by some umpiring decisions.

Xerri showing some real nice promise

And now after missing a couple of blatant 50’s, they gift one the other way.
