.
I think I've whinged on here before about missing play with stupid shots on injured players or coaches box.
I don't go to games because I only want to see the Dogs games and from were I live it's a pain to attend when they are up here.
The few times I have been I get pissed off with people leaving there seat early to beat the crowd at the loo or the food and drink counter because they obscure my view of the game standing in front of me.
I'm becoming a very grumpy old man.
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

It would allow you to glance at positioning and moves on your tablet/phone, whilst following the play via the normal broadcast angle on your tv (not unlike watching it live and glancing at the big screen for the odd closeup etc).
How about a device in the ball that can be automatically tracked be a drone above and behind the ball following it as it moves.
Almost from a players perspective.

That’s a cool idea, but they’d have to change drone rules (can’t fly over people). Drones are prone to falling out of the sky.

Saints forward line wide open once again. Every time it goes inside 50 they look like scoring.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Long just hip n shouldered Freos ruckman that knocked him on his back for a few minutes. Nothing overly malicious in the bump, it was careless but judging by Croziers suspension he should get at least 8 weeks! Or perhaps a $500 fine.

I mean apart from the fact Gardner's presently ahead of him on the depth chart.
Not a fan of Moore , over rated IMO . Essendon had one forward who is overweight has no tank and he beat him with ease.
Also had Roughead down there to help out and still didn’t stop him.
Wood, Crozier and even Keath are better.
Bring back the biff

He will be suspended and I expect 2 weeks.
It was careless, rather than intentional but high impact.
However Long was just putting his body in to protect his own position to go for the ball. I don't think he even meant to bump Darcy. 20 years ago Long would have been lauded for his attack on the ball.

Re: AFL Game Day R6 2020
Massive turnaround by Freo but let St.Kilda off the hook with some bad missed set shots.
2 down on the bench so may regret that.

Re: AFL Game Day R6 2020
Man this is a fun game to watch. Freo have been killing it. Should be at least 3 goals up.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Re: AFL Game Day R6 2020
Freo vs Saints is a perfect reminder of why we need to be on our game vs Carlton

I thought Freo was going to throw it away, but somehow worked harder in those last two minutes. Saints stopped after being 36 in front - no mental toughness

Freo also two down (Darcy and Young) for most of the game. Mammoth effort by them.

I think that is mimimum three maybe four weeks. Triggered Troy Simmonds PTSD. I've been next to a ruckman that copped the exact same, game stopped, ambulance called its an incredibly cowardly act.
