    Re: AFL Game Day Round 8, 2019

    Melbourne were extremely fortunate . David king must have moved on from betting on Rising star awards !
    He had the house on Melbourne. Port’s forward half just didn’t function, as they are missing key players .
    Thought the intensity at the start of the game was the hottest I’ve seen all year .

    One of the more extraordinary finishes to a game of football you will ever see. Crazy last minute. Two goals and a point. It does really highlight the power of the new 6-6-6 rule where the centre clearance is worth gold in those desperate last seconds. (If it was last year Gold Coast would have payed an additional four defenders, making it so much harder for Melbourne.)

    Ablett will be the headline of the week again after an almost identical hit to the one he got reported for last week. If anything, this one was later and he threw his forearm higher to get him in the face.

    Gary Rohan was concussed today for the cats too. It looked like a bad one, with two trainers having to help him from the field. You would think he would be less than 50-50 to make the game against us in 6 days.

    It's worse than last week but the AFL is very good at finding ways to make sure star players don't miss one game bans

    Ablett will play because, lets face it the Geelong football mafia will insist upon it, and the irony of Gary Rohan being concussed will be totally be lost on them.

    The Rohan one is interesting, it looked as if there was a slight clash of heads but it was clear to me the cause of the concussion would have been more likely from the head jolting and the brain rattling around inside the skull more than the actual head clash itself.

    That's exactly the clinical definition of concussion. It's caused by the brain bouncing around inside your skull and the actual concussion is caused by the brain bashing against the inside of the skull.


    We had better concussion protocols back in the '70s when you missed the next week no matter what

    I suspect a fair few mums would be a bit unimpressed by that. Sure some would probably be happy to spend Mothers day at the footy but 'yeah hi mum I'm here for some food but I'm gonna be gone by 2 so I can make the footy so cheers and all' isn't exactly too flash.

    One of the most difficult press conferences Stuart Dew has ever had to do. In words, magnanimous in defeat but clearly a press conference was the last place he wanted to be. But rather than be a sulk about it ( like Lyon no doubt would have been ) he carried on. One could not help but be sorry for the guy.
    Prepare yourselves to see ingenious ways of not losing a game in the last 18 seconds, to beat the 6,6,6 rule.

    As a Bulldogs supporter I have enormous sympathy for poor old Hawthorn and the poor treatment they receive from a fixturing perspective and the almost $1M it is apparently likely to cost them this year. They do it really tough those lads in the brown and gold, what with the league openly at war with them...……(this is actually what Kennett believes).

    Nobody whinges quite like the well off and entitled.

    Hawthorn are the biggest Squeaky wheel in the AFL i reckon. Geelong are starting to give them a run for their money* though.
