The surface is breaking up badly with massive divots causing havoc. I think the Swallow injury was caused by the surface as it’s shifting under foot

Embarrassing, stadium management should be ashamed. That passage on the wing with the grass flying everywhere is a bad sight.

mullet strikes again.

Am an unashamed fan of seeing the expansion teams doing well to help grow the game.

Every year is important but GC for so many reasons need to show glimpses of hope for the future otherwise risk falling into permanent obscurity.

Saints sneak a very close win: 1 point

yep - powder stays dry

Colyer playing well. lol

Dockers smashing Norf
48 - 12 half way through 2nd 1/4

Looks like we have a 3rd knee reco in only the first round: Vickers-Willis has done his knee is the early call from Norf.

Ben Brown is loved by the umps. The free kicks he gets the other forwards would die for.

Norf doing their best to keep us off the bottom

I knew they were good for something, …

Damn Worsfold sigh of relief

Norf were smashed, and yet they won the free kick count.

So Gerard Healy and Co, didn’t complain about congestion around the ball at every opportunity, and spruke 6-6-6 starting positions. To which the AFL bowed to media histeria and changed the rules? Cool story bro.

Anyone know why Cunnington got off his charge for a stomach punch when Zerrett copped a week for something very similar?

That Cunnington decision sets a dangerous precedent - Hits that are 60 metres off the ball deserve a suspension.

Is Thursday night football a regular thing now?

Not every week but more if it this year than previously
There is a thursday game for the first 6 rounds, then a break for a while, but there are 3 more over the course of the season
