    The Monday Soapbox - Round 7

    Have a rant about something that annoyed you for this round.
    It could be the AFL, umpiring, Kane Cornes, Channel 7 commentary, Rules or even opposition players etc

    The AFL want to stop head injuries but when a player tackles someone with the ball the player can do a 360 before they are pinned for holding the ball.
    If they want to stop hear injuries make a rule , holding the ball will be given if your turned 180.
    A lot of these injuries are due to players having to bring a player to ground before they get the free, thus in the natural pace and movement of players the player is forced to hold a player until he hits the ground.

    The fact I checked the score, saw we were close around 3qtr time or a bit after, but knew with complete confidence that would mean they wouldn't get the job done. I used to have some belief in this team but that's pretty much eroded away these last 18 months or so.

    Unless there's a Carlton/GWS style drastic change in form in the second half of the year it's 100% the end of Bevo's time in charge which feels sad to say.

    Was the same with me. I wasn't even nervous in that last quarter because I knew how it would play out...it's deflating

    The way I had to disappoint my family by saying "Bont will miss this" in the third quarter.

    I said to the mate I was watching with. He'll miss it. If he kicks it, we win, but he'll miss it and we'll lose.

    It hurts.

    We're fine. We'll win this week easily, it's the following week you need to worry about. Richmond I think?
