in conclusion...AFL as competitive comp....awesome....AFL tipping....sucks

Rankine will be 3+. A similar incident got someone 5 weeks.
-
Adam Simpson's future now very much in doubt.
Premierships only get you so far, you keep losing and eventually the axe comes.
-
No longer in doubt, goooorn.

Brisbane avoid the dead cat bounce of a shit team at home the week after their coach got sacked to somehow jump in to the top 4
love to see @Kiwiwomble tipping this week
Geelong beat Collingwood at the 'G, and suddenly the cats are back?
Hawthorn beat Freo
Sydney of course bounce back v North
The Bulldogs beat Carlton
Adelaide beat St Kilda who in peak Ross Lyon kick 5 goals
Basket case Dees beat fraud Essendon
Gold Coast were at home so they won
GWS beat the TigersAnd so Sydney are 3 wins clear. Carlton were locked in to 2nd, but they have fallen back to the pack, and now only lead the Cats on %. The Lions in to the 4 after a 10-game run of 8-1-1.
And then it' still a shitfight to 13th. No one is knocked out yet because the teams from 2nd to 13th keep beating each other. Great season. -

the leader is probably some lady in accounts who picks with a dart

@mariner4life its one of our data scientists....we're not sure he hasn't built some sort of algorithm

A new concussion case against the AFL and so they hand out the two weakest suspensions you have ever seen as a "response" and suddenly the AFL is where rugby has been, questioning how far is too far before you actually attack the fundamentals of the game.
Both clubs immediately appealed the AFL's decisions, and i expect the defense of each is the same "what exactly was he supposed to do differently here?". As bad a couple of judiciary calls as i have seen.
-
Yeah I think this represents something of a tipping point.
The issue is more about the framework. Once the two tackles ticked the relevant boxes, they were locked in to a three match ban despite neither tackle warranting anything near that. If they each got a week I think people could make their peace with it, but three?
Meanwhile you can belt a bloke behind play and get one week maximum (unless you concuss them, which I presume now sends you straight to the Hague).
They need a whole rethink of how they grade these sorts of tackles because it's way out of wack at the moment.
-
i don't think either tackle is even a reportable incident.
-
hey google, how do i buy Grand Final tickets?
Lions tip over Sydney in a thriller, for 7 straight, and in to 3rd (was 2nd for a couple of hours but you can't trust North to do anything right).
Essendon are falling to where they really should be
The Gold Coast may as well not even send the first team on away trips
Hawthorn whack the Pies
The Bulldogs whack the Cats
Freo whack MelbourneSeason still wide open. No one properly killed off yet, but you would think the Pies and the Suns are now mortally wounded
-

everyone has a soft spot for the swannies and you're a big fat lair if you say otherwise

2-10 still all up for grabs.
Woohoo Lions. Swans in a funk. Can’t stand them.
Crazy to think Port Adelaide are still in the hunt given their roller coaster season.
