    Here is a farcical score review in the St Kilda-West Coast game.

    'Are you kidding me?': Fans, commentators erupt after VERY late review

    This should not have happened after another minute of play, just to over
    turn an umpire's call with a centimetre in it and a partially obstructed view.
    The AFL admin has genuinely reached comical levels of idiocy this year

    Strangely, Izak Rankine was another one who didn’t make the AFL's most watchable list.

    Looks like Carlton are falling in a heap in the second half. Who would've thought it?

    Wanna say this carefully, as we all think Paul Kelly is an all time great, a better all round player, mark and goal scorer. But the way Butters plays, all speed at the contest, physicality, relentlessness and competitiveness, is a little bit like Kel.
    I’ve never seen Butters take a single high mark the way Paul Kelly did time and again.

    Port leading Geelong by 25 points in the third quarter. That lead is 2 goals 13 behinds (8.14 to 6.1).

    When he retires in 2045, imagine the demand among clubs to nab him into coaching ranks. Gotta have the highest footy IQ we’ve seen. Whether he’s mad enough is the question.

    They all are. Coxy is apparently a really ‘up’ personality who can find joy and a smile in anything. He’s good on tactics, great at relationships, a total and utter hard arse when required. (Ask Will Hayward about the phone call). But he’s so naturally optimistic you could kick him in the nuts and he’d slap you on the back and tell you why it was a life lesson. It’s his version of resilience. They’re weird cats, coaches.

    Benjamin Button is going to play till he’s 50.
    I wonder if he's got a son who's good at football? I don't think there's been a case of a father/son playing together?

    I suspect that there might be a few Essendon fans, just a little bit unhappy, that the 38 year old Pendlebury has broken his all time possessions record.

    We dodged a bullet when we missed out on Ben McKay a few years back, though we sensibly went nowhere near the Bombers’ money. He’s got to be the most uncompetitive player in the comp. Soft and useless.
    Have been thinking exactly the same thing.

    I'm still a bit better that North got pick 3 as compensation.

    Seems like the Essendon revival might be short-lived.
