On Sat, he obliterated one of the comps match winners, hats off to you Newmy.
We should also acknowledge the work he’s done with young Cowan. Having an established, senior player to help you learn the ropes, on and off the field, must be invaluable.

His footy IQ is up there with the highest of our players. I now see blokes like Newmy and Doc and think on field, we are in good hands. Newmy didn't play on those agonising losses at the end of last year, that's a tell.

He was nursing a crook shoulder all game and the AFL think he went in looking to throw his shoulder around ?
Good grief…
Let’s go BIG !

The injury curse silver lining. A couple of bona fide player coaches. Or is it coaching players ?
Superb asset for the backline.

Keeping together is progress.

I get that the AFL has a duty of care to minimise the chances of concussions but suspending players willy-nilly isn’t the answer. Acres collided with Daniels in a contest for the footy, a bit like the Cripps incident and the Plowman incident before that. All are very different to Logue’s shirtfront or Picket launching himself at Bailey Smith’s head.
The AFL/MRO/Tribunal is more concerned with being seen to prevent concussions than it is with distinguishing between deliberate and intentional high contact. I’d prefer to see every head-high contact reviewed by an expert panel charged with determining whether the contact was part of the game/accidental/unavoidable, careless, or intentional. The MRO is not qualified to determine that, and neither is the Tribunal.

The HUN is now reporting that the AFL have stated that 'Stephen Coniglio's constant complaints lead to dissent free kick'. Serial offender who put the straw on the camel's back at a very poor time for his team.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

It's a terrible decision. Imagine if we lose a GF because Cripps questions an unpaid free. The AFL needs to find another way of dealing with this. It's not an infringement where players are deliberately doing illegal things to alter the state of play in their favour. There's no cheating, jumper holding, deliberate OOB etc. You can't have this tiggy touchwood nonsense affecting a result. Hand out heavy fines, suspend the player for the following match etc. But don't change the outcome because some player says boo.
