    Shaq had four touches from 76% game time. Some things never change.

    Sad really. Beaten at every contest. The Swans hardly have a surplus of tall defenders.

    I know I can’t believe Melbourne would fail him like that either. All he does is kick goals!

    I noticed Billings only had 38% game time. That's almost end of career stuff

    Was the sub.

    Was shithouse when he was on the field. A much shorter Schache.

    I didn't watch the game. Hard to get a line on Melbourne and where they are at. Have papered the off field stuff really well, but I think deep down they are an unsettled bunch. We should beat them.

    Melbourne could get a bit better after Oliver's successful return but they must be concerned on how that forward line functioned. Pickett returns and that will help but while they've got plenty of talent in their playing list but also have some challenges as well.

    I had my doubts with Sydney but understood Longmire teams are always competitive. Their forward line doesn't look that threatening but they have a number of good players coming back over the next few weeks.

    Looking forward to seeing GWS and Collingwood.

    Re: AFL 2024 Round Zero discussion

    Anyone think what Grundy did at the centre bounces was completely unfair?

    Has something changed that allows this now as i thought he basically blocked Gawn from fairly competing.
    The centre bounce is supposed to be a neutral restarr.

    What about the knee into the side of Gawn at the boundary throw in

    I thought Grundy played it smart.

    The rules were changed this year and Grundy used that change to take space of Maxie.

    I like that it allows rucks to have some tactical nous rather than just favouring the guy who just happens to have the longest reach.

    What was the rule change?

    Thought Melbourne were disappointing last night, which I thought was excellent. Let’s hope they don’t respond next week…
