Afl 2019

[Hatchman]

Season starts, tonight.
Actually looking forward to watching some games to see if the 6 6 6 start at Center bounces changes how the game is played. This will be more evident in the last few minutes of a game where scores are close.

[AndyP]

The 100m penalties are going to be great too.

[WBennett]

The 100m penalties are going to be great too.

I hope that gets relaxed / made sensible as the year goes on.

[3Puttpete]

The players will get better at not giving them away.

[WBennett]

The players will get better at not giving them away. Hopefully the umpires will get better at not giving them away too

[3Puttpete]

Hopefully the umpires will get better at not giving them away too

Their job is to give them away if they’re there.


Edit: I’m pretty happy with that sentence.

[coalesce]

Hatchman have you seen this?

It could be a way to solve any problems with the ministry of war and finance!

[AndyP]

Another great season opener. They should never change it.

[Minor_Threat]

Carlton are struggling badly..

Carlton are struggling badly..

But did well to turn it around, although its a loss I would be satisfied if I were a Carlton supporter

Agreed - for them to come back to a respectable margin after the first quarter was alright. It could have easily blown out.

[Yossarian]

They could've won if they could pick up the ball in one go.

[AndyP]

33 points isn't exactly close, but I guess Carlton fans have to satisfy themselves with any minor improvement from weekly floggings.

It’s closer than a lot of teams will get

[Minor_Threat]

But did well to turn it around, although its a loss I would be satisfied if I were a Carlton supporterYes they did, I think they got it back to 2 goals at one stage.

[thecollective]

There were moments where they looked like a really good team. Mitch Mcgovern looked very lively and will be a key player for Carlton in the years to come. Give them a few years and I think they could be a top 6 team

[AndyP]

It’s closer than a lot of teams will getDoes that mean that you are satisfied?

[3Puttpete]

Does that mean that you are satisfied?

Yep. Satisfied with the road we’re on

[JoeS]

Carlton young players spent a lot of energy getting back into the game.And it could have been better if Charlie could have held onto the ball.A few of the players were clearly struggling towards the end of the game

[AndyP]

They tend to do that, don't they?

[Steve57]

They tend to do that, don't they? They do it to a lot of teams AP.

[AndyP]

The scores haven't been high enough so far. The AFL needs another rule change or five.

[Minor_Threat]

And Melb just screwed my multi. They looked very ordinary after qtr time..

[Hatchman]

Demons were very ordinary.
Gawn looked lame and lethargic.

[AndyP]

Melbourne just do Melbourne things. Relying on them to win is silly.

I'm satisfied to see the Hawks on top of the ladder.

[PeteyD]

Hey Bushy ....

[AndyP]

It is the first time that the Lions will finish a round inside the top 8 since Round 1 2012.

[blkmtn]

Not the best round for tipping - I'm surprised Brisbane put a few on West Coast, was also hoping Adelaide would have done better. The joys of round 1!

[AndyP]

When my wife wins the round in home tipping, after coming last by a long way last year, you know that it wasn't a great tipping round. I came second, but tipping my Hawks helped.

[Minor_Threat]

Anyone seen Andy this afternoon? 🔴⚪🔵😜

[AndyP]

Yep, just here counting the premierships in my lifetime.

[Minor_Threat]

Yep, just here counting the premierships in my lifetime.One is enough for me, I'm not greedy!

[AndyP]

It was a good comeback, and it looked like they would just keep going. That last quarter was a tad frustrating for me.

I’m really looking forward to Pittard finally hitting a Port player by foot tonight.

That was a very disappointing game. After seeing them move the ball with speed and precision last weekend, this weekend seemed like they had never met before.

Do they have any more games at the G this year? They might want to redeem themselves before playing any finals there.

[Hatchman]

The coaching Merry Go Round is gathering momentum with the second one gone today.
How many more to tumble before the years finished?
Who's going to get the poison challis at the basket case Carlton? Cant't see them going for another first timer.

[chappy1970]

I think the bloke who's at the helm of my Saints is a big chance to be shown the door if they don't improve

Apart from a slightly better W L column what is the big knock on him at the Saints? It's not as though the list is filled with talent that's under performing.
Your board grossly over estimated your list either last year or was it the year before when one of them said you were a top 4?
It's seemed like hes being paying for that ever since.

Whoosha at the Bombers is tipped to be feeling the heat.

[wazamac]

Bolton was given the kiss of death 2 weeks ago when Judd said he had the full backing of the club.

My big knock on Alan Richardson is that he appears to not have Plan B when Plan A isn't getting the job done.

[Hatchman]

Bolton was given the kiss of death 2 weeks ago when Judd said he had the full backing of the club.

Too his credit Judd has been asked the same question over and over for many weeks out before the last couple and continually said the very same thing over and over and over not giving the media any angle to report on from what he's said.
The President was the one that rolled out the Kiss of Death Full Support of the Board Line 1-2 weeks agao when previously he's been silent.

[AndyP]

At least Bolton has a winning coaching record against one side. Carlton.

[Grumpy8]

I would like to see Ratten invited back , should never have sacked him for Malthouse in the first place

[Hatchman]

For all you Carlton fanbois.
Who do you want for your next Coach?
and who do you think you will actually end up with?

Some one at work is watching our intranet for new names that appear on our intranet for created positions of spouses to pay money under the soft cap.

[Grumpy8]

For all you Carlton fanbois.Who do you want for your next Coach?and who do you think you will actually end up with?Some one at work is watching our intranet for new names that appear on our intranet for created positions of spouses to pay money under the soft cap.Ratten but fearful we will get Scott

[AndyP]

I don't understand why Scott is rated. What has he done?

I can't see Ratten returning after being burnt there before. He has gone through some family problems since, and I'd think that he would be happy to stay an assistant.

James Hird or Bomber Thompson would be great for Carlton. ;)

[Grumpy8]

James Hird or Bomber Thompson would be great for Carlton. ;) There was talk of Hird today on talkback radio but as an assistant to a first time coach . Scott had 10 yrs at north and his record isn’t any better than Ratten’s when they sacked him . Ratten is a club champion , might have a bit more pride in the jumper. They won’t get it but I would like The Swan’s coach and system . Player development is what’s really lacking at Carlton

I don't think Scott had a great deal to work with at North and had them punching a bit above their weight to be honest.
Id like to see what he can do with a better list.

I'd be surprised if Ratten returned after his exit the first time around. He'd be aware of the same power brokers behind the scene interfering.

[3Puttpete]

For all you Carlton fanbois.

Who gives a crap. I have no faith in this board to choose the right bloke or give anyone a decent run at it.

[AndyP]

I don't think Scott had a great deal to work with at North and had them punching a bit above their weight to be honest.
Id like to see what he can do with a better list.So Scott isn't accountable for the "weight" after all that time?


I have no faith in this board to choose the right bloke or give anyone a decent run at it.
Did Bolton need to see this year or the next year and a half out? There is definitely some talent there.

[3Puttpete]

Did Bolton need to see this year or the next year and a half out? There is definitely some talent there.

I thought so

[AndyP]

I thought so
As did my Carlton supporting work colleague. Is this the feeling of the majority of supporters? I guess the board just needs a scapegoat for their mistakes.

[3Puttpete]

I get the feeling most wanted him gone. Apparently Walsh and Stocker would be leading a march to the finals if not for the coach.

Some also argue the forward line should be much better considering the “potential there. They seem happy to give the bloke coaching the forward line the whole team.

I can’t see why Ratten would go back to work for the people who sacked him when he was doing s good job. I don’t even think they’d ask him. They’ll try to pay whatever they need to get Roos then when he says no they’ll explain why the new bloke is the best fit for the job and the one they wanted all along.

[AndyP]

Sack Fagan!!!

[Grumpy8]

Who gives a crap. I have no faith in this board to choose the right bloke or give anyone a decent run at it. Board should have gone when Malthouse went

[Hatchman]

There will be lots of happy back slapping going on at Carlton tonight by those that helped make the mess they were in. See it’s not us it was all the coach :lol::lol:. Shame on you Brisbane.

[wazamac]

Just like buying a new golf club.
Works great the first game out.

[LeftyHoges]

They'll be ****ing ecstatic late Saturday night when they win 2 games in a row for the first time this decade. :smt013 :smt093

[Hatchman]

I think Carlton have picked their coach already.
Someone in a national Role at work was made redundant yesterday freeing up a Salary wage for someone.

[Hatchman]

They'll be ****ing ecstatic late Saturday night when they win 2 games in a row for the first time this decade. :smt013 :smt093

Dogs need a belly scratch do they?

Good to see your side did the right thing or the happy back slappers would have exploded in their pants.

[wazamac]

Come on now. You're part of the big happy exploding back slapping family. :razz:

[Hatchman]

Come on now. You're part of the big happy exploding back slapping family. :razz:

Hardly, it was clear many were not part of the family when they decided create a position and pay a massive wage to get around Salary Cap rules.

[wazamac]

All clubs do it. But I guess it affects more than others.

[Hatchman]

All clubs do it. But I guess it affects more than others.

The only ones it affected was every single person in the Group that was paid a Salary wage. Big company announcement crying GFC poverty and that no Salary Paid employee would be paid a bonus or receive a pay raise that year.
2 Months later they hand over 4%, 3% and 3% to all Factory weekly paid employees over 3 years. Later comes the announcement some one is coming to Carlton and has a created position in the Recycling division.

[wazamac]

Yes. And I have lost work in the Hotel Sector because meathead crows players are given chunks in hotels for makeup in their salaries. Then those meatheads give there mates jobs and so forth. Every club does it.
Not naming the certain Board member that owns the hotels.

All in all, we all lose to keep bunches of guys running around patting each other on the arse.

[Hatchman]

Cats a walk up to break their run of 8 losses after a bye.

[Hatchman]

Saints in the Market place now for a new Coach now too.
Can the 3 please take Voss and Hinkley. Don't care if they go to separate clubs or the same one. This year has been wasted again.

[AndyP]

I'm sure the Saints can be trusted to make another poor decision; they've been doing it for a long time now.

[wazamac]

Voss was interviewed at Carlton yesterday

[3Puttpete]

Voss was interviewed at Carlton yesterday

He ran a red light and got hit by a truck on his bike last time but at least there are no training wheels on.

[AndyP]

Exciting times for Carlton. Have they interviewed Bomber Thompson for the job yet? Mark Neeld's calendar looks free for next year too.

[Yossarian]

Vossy was okay tactically i thought and the players liked him? Just don't let him in on list management

[Minor_Threat]

Exciting times for Carlton. Have they interviewed Bomber Thompson for the job yet? Mark Neeld's calendar looks free for next year too.I reckon Brendan McCartney would be a good fit..

[Hatchman]

Take Voss please. Can throw Hinkley in for free as a package deal.

[LarryLong]

Doggies supporter in the office is ropable after they copped the new coach curse against the saints. Do St. Kilda play Carlton before the season ends? Would be funny to see Ratten coaching against his old mob.

[chappy1970]

They sure do Larry, rd 22

[Hatchman]

Goodwin should be feeling the heat after taking the D's from touted strong Premiership contenders to currently 17th. Finally been shown up to be the complete spud he is.

Side topic, I held one of those Gyms for 10 days. Not the one closest to where we stayed either.


Back to the Coaching appointments.
Reports are that there was bugger all applicants for both the Nth Melbourne and Carlton Jobs.

[Hatchman]

Another one bites the dust. Ross no longer the Boss.
What's the goss on this from from those in WA for the exit exit before his contract was up at end of 2020?
Result graph showed a slow improvement after bottom out 4 years ago.
Word over here is dwindling memberships and crowd numbers from supporters walking away not wanting to watch the low scoring boring defensive game style every week.
Or is there another reason?

Hopefully Freo can continue the trend of caretaker coach wins this week. If they do there could be a 5th hopefully.

They’re crap and don’t win many games. That’s why you sack a coach. I’ve learned that much this year.

Thanks 3puttbolton

Clarko to Freo. You heard it here first.

*No truth to this except that he gets linked to every club that hasn't appointed a coach.

No other player in the competition would have been suspended, or even cited for it in my opinion. No other player would have got let off with a fine last week . Plus no other player would be stupid enough or arrogant enough to do it again the next game

Sucked in Greene the filthy little grub.
He is a special kind of stupid.

[Toxic]

Disgrace that Toby Greene misses a final for that. I'm one eyed Collingwood and it's the worst tribunal decision I can recall

[Toxic]

No other player would have got let off with a fine last week . Plus no other player would be stupid enough or arrogant enough to do it again the next game The tribunal set the precedent. Its not a cumulative decision, it's a single stand alone report not worthy of a week

[Grumpy8]

The tribunal set the precedent. Its not a cumulative decision, it's a single stand alone report not worthy of a weekNormally I would agree with you but am more than happy to make an exception for this grub .Plus you guys need to read the charge , as I understand it , he was charged with attacking the face of an opponent, last time I looked my nose is a part of my face , the replays prove it was deliberate, Brisbane confirmed he got his face , maybe an argument could be made that he should have got more .He was charged basically with eye gouging last week and that was deemed inconclusive so he got fined .

[AndyP]

The tribunal set the precedent.
The tribunal has set the precedent of being inconsistent. Don't expect anything else.

[WBennett]

I'm a Giants member, supporter, and will be at the game tomorrow.

Crisso screwed up last week. The charge against Greene for the work on Bont should have been High contact to the face/eyes, Intentional and low impact. Under the MRP Matrix, that is 1 week.

They went the gouging charge which could not be proven so he gets off.

This week the charge was correct, although the contact was negligible. But that behaviour has no place in the game.

Greene is a phenomenally talented footballer who needs to wake up to himself. His action may cost his team a spot in a GF, like Stevie J did in 2016.

No the fine was a joke and the suspension is fine So you obviously have no idea, but feel free to judge and voice on opinion rather than fact

[Toxic]

Seems you're bending over backwards pretty hard to defend a grubby little flog, Toxic.Not sure why. Tell me why he should be suspended under the OFFICIAL RULES

[AndyP]

Tell me why he should be suspended under the OFFICIAL RULES
He was suspended. Shouldn't you be proving otherwise?



The incident was assessed as intentional conduct with low impact and high contact. It was then classified as a one-match sanction
Which aspect of the charge do you disagree with? The high contact? The impact? That it wasn't intentional?

[LeftyHoges]

Tell me why he should be suspended under the OFFICIAL RULESBecause he was charged with making unnecessary contact to the face of an opponent. The contact was high, intentional, and low impact. 1 week.

He ALSO should have been rubbed out the week before for his grubness on Bontempelli. They naffed that one up.

OFFICIAL RULES

Grumpy's has been ticked off by the AFL, therefore his is actually fact, and yours is the opinion.

The AFL also says Lachie Neale is a filthy liar.

MRO:

Toby Greene, GWS GIANTS, has been charged with making Unreasonable or Unnecessary Contact to the Eye Region of Lachie Neale, Brisbane Lions, during the second quarter of the Semi Final match between the Brisbane Lions and the GWS GIANTS, played at The Gabba on Saturday September 14.

In summary he can accept a one-match sanction with an early plea.


Tribunal:

- Neale says he can't recall feeling anything to his eye region. He says he grabbed his face afterwards as his nose was sore.

- Pane argues that little weight should be given to Neale's evidence.

- Pane describes Neale's evidence as "vague" and said it was focused on the aftermath of the incident.

Just asking for a friend...

[Toxic]

Zac Merrett last week,
Intentional, high, low impact = a fine.
Toby Greene week 1 of finals,
Intentional, high, low impact = a fine.

The AFL set the precedent

[LeftyHoges]

Zac Merrett last week,
Intentional, high, low impact = a fine.
Toby Greene week 1 of finals,
Intentional, high, low impact = a fine.

The AFL set the precedentSure thing, because a small hair pull is exactly the same thing as being third man in to the tackle, checking to see where the umpire is then reaching your grubby little hands in to rake the face of a defenseless opponent.

It's the fine in week 1 that they cocked up Toxic, not the suspension in week 2. Little dickhead should have been suspended after the first incident. But due to similarly grubby lawyers he's somehow allowed to escape with a fine, and comes out and apologises, expressing how "remorseful he is" for his actions.

Oh, what's that, he does the same thing the next week? Sure, someone who does that should be given another fine, he's clearly learnt his lesson.

He is obviously either an extremely slow learner or an arrogant little so and so who thinks he can get away with whatever he wants.
I tend to think it’s the latter, which is a pity as he can definitely play the game better than most when he is on.
He has let his club and team mates down to the point as WB suggested, that they are likely to miss a GF berth because of his actions.

Past indiscretions have no impact on the sentence.So you believe that if he does the same thing EVERY week for the season the AFL / tribunal should just fine him every time?

So, we've clearly established you're a GWS fan then. That's the only logical conclusion here.

Dumb, arrogant flog.

Think I will play golf next sat afternoon

[JoeS]

Toby Greene gets another chance.I don't give a toss if he is a dumb arse or not,but this crap goes on all the time,not just him.Tobys problem,he is stupid,all eyes are on him and he is sh1t at trying to play the tough man roll.He doesn't even know when a good time is to slip in a sneaky punch and when it's not.What do you think happens when they wrap up a player in a body tackle.
Unfortunately if he was at my club,I would be happy

I dunno why but if you let me know where to get them, sure.

[AndyP]

And Spud!
You missed the sarcasm. He is the only person I know that supports them.

[Hatchman]

Hopefully Rcichmand can do the right thing and flog the crap out of the franchise and send them back home to where no gives 2 sh!ts about AFL. Yellow and Black

[Steve57]

Hopefully Richmond can do the right thing and flog the crap out of the franchise and send them back home to where no gives 2 sh!ts about AFL. Yellow and Black Very much this^^^^^^^^

It's all happening in the west this week.

Fyfe wins a second Browlow and silly Willie has ensured his AFL career is finished after recording a positive sample separate to the sample tampering he's already under investigation for.

I still haven't decided which team I want to win less.

I still haven't decided which team I want to win less.C'mon mate. You know it.

That’s the wrong way to look at it. Decide on the team you want to lose more.

Don’t be like that you guys, very un Ozgolf like, :lol:

Still can't decide, but I think I'm leaning against the manufactured club that has Toby Greene.

[Grumpy8]

Still can't decide, but I think I'm leaning against the manufactured club that has Toby Greene. I want both to not win , don’t want t Greene to win plus I disagree with Richmond being able to get lynch into a premiership team , when they talk so much about equalisation

EAD Giants

Yellow and Black

As for the result...

Some clubs are shit no matter what.

[Grumpy8]

Any true notion of equalisation died with player free agency. You got that right

[Grumpy8]

Some clubs are shit no matter what.Yes I know I follow one of them

[Captain Nemo]

Looks like Spuds in for a shit week....

[3Puttpete]

Any true notion of equalisation died with player free agency.

It died with an uneven fixture. There’s still a salary cap.

EAD Giants

Yellow and Black

That’s very harsh on GWS. They did better than many people expected and an 89 point loss and kicking 25 points for the entire game was something they can be quite proud of.

Are you sure? All I've seen to date is a bunch of journos desperately trying to fill days worth of column space and air time with NOTHING while the clubs all wait until the last minute. They would be better off talking about the Grand Final for a bit longer if you ask me.

Exactly, they're literally writing about NOTHING in preference of writing about the GF. Says a bit.

[LarryLong]

Speaking of NOTHING, would any Carlton supporters like to rate SoS' performance in trade week?

Come on Dees, make us all happy and pick up Jack Martin in the PSD!

It was much ado about nothing. Papley was never available so that doesn’t count and I haven’t heard what they offered and the suns wanted for Martin.
