thats what the club said,
it looked like he tried to kick the ball off the ground and miss kicked it, hyper-extending his leg
he went down clutching his knee there (10 mins left in the 3rd)

Forgot my PRE rule of thumb which is to never read the game day threads. God you guys are whingers. Great to be back at the G, awesome atmosphere, banked the 4 points, got to tell my dad some god-awful jokes. That's all that matters.
With the new rules and speed of the game I think there will be some massive thrashings this year. Teams with young lists or those with major injuries will get blown away.
I never realised how extreme Fischers one-sidedness is.
Its up with Greg-Brian Myers on the scale.
agree Walsh looked the real deal.
Its entirely conceivable he ends up more than half as good as Dusty
After watching (shorter), high intensity, high pressure games through most of last year found this game underwhelming. Hope others are right and it's just the early season (and not the new rules) that caused this to be such a free flowing, basketball style, end to end spectacle. Wish the AFL would just f... off and leave the game alone

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
The melt downs would be great. Mason gets an erection thinking about himself, umpire says you moved off the mark. Winning goal from the top of the square.
Mine took a while to register, generally worked . . . eventually. But, eventually is too long when thousands are just trying to swipe in or out. Plus, I lost count in about 2 seconds of the people having trouble with the reader not reading the code on their phone, just a great big logjam. The technology is too slow, too unreliable and too cumbersome. It makes Myki look quick and the queues at Richmond station after a game are a testament to how rubbish that system is.
The game did resemble basketball too much. Ball was shooting up and back all night. Is this what the AFL want? It is football but not as we know it. Will be interesting to see if that was an extreme example of the impact of the new rules, was the first game of the year after all. But the complaints will come that this is not the game we grew up with if it continues like this.

There will be a learning curve like with any new thing. Eventually people will get the hang of it. One key is to turn up the brightness on your phone.
Wasn't that why this was changed? To get back to the good old days of what footy "used to be like, back in our day". Yet you say it doesn't resemble that. That would suggest that this was an ill thought out idea again by SHocking, surely not!
You have to laugh at the cluelessness of carlscum fans. On the way home the deluded were ringing into SEN talking about frees, are you kidding me blues had 10 more frees and 3 of their goals gifted by the umpires.
The Macintosh incident only blues fans could say if it wasn't tripping should've been holding the ball. An honest person would say geez Macintosh was grabbed by the legs should've been tiges free but we'll take the play on call. But no they wanted holding the ball even though it was a 100% trip.
Nankvervis still had pressure when he walked back into goals whereby Jones pretended to tap the ball over 5 meters and go over the line with no one behind him, you literally can't make this *smile* up. The very few blues fans who were there mostly in AFL members were making some noise there and carrying on for holding the ball every time we got tackled but unbeknown to the clueless which is your typical blues fan, tiger players were actually handballing it out.
Other callers were saying we had out McGovern (lol = spud), de Kooning (like CCJ he is still learning the ropes wont be the difference in the game), Tom Williamson (lol = spud), Betts at 33 years old didn't make the cut. The quality they had out was Zac Williams, Jack Martin and Charlie Curnow and to a lesser extent Marchbank. We had royalty out Cotchin and Houli
75 inside 50's to 41 shows that we should've won this game by 50+ based on the countless entries into our forward 50. We need to convert these inside 50 chances when they present.
Overall a good game, blues came to play and took it up to us but I always knew we would scoot away in red time and it panned out that way.
Happy with the win and look forward to next week V the Hawks.
