They had Rory Lobb but he's always been pissy about being a ruck over a forward and got traded over it iirc

Lobb was never a ruckman. He was just a tall player that they threw into the ruck to fill a gap.

The Dees, in over 160 years of history, have not only ever had the one player crack 300 game, they have only had 9 players play over 250 games for the club.

This loving club I swear to god

Just a reminder that Freo have more 300+ game players than Melbourne

It's very rude, but completely understandable, to wish death on poor Sammy just because he's a total trashbag of a human being.

It would be an act of mercy. It must be exhausting to be such a frothing fountain of bile every day of your miserable life.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Remember when all the jokes about Sam Newman were "Hahaha you are an old man with cosmetic surgery who dates much younger women, (and occasionally gets punched by their boyfriends)"?

Much more innocent times.

As opposed to now when the jokes are "Shut the gently caress up Sam you out of touch, irrelevant old hateful bigot!"

Which strangely enough isn't as funny.

I’d put footy fights only below ice hockey on the ranking ladder of fights in team sports. Baseball fights are worse, basketball fights have been legislated out of the NBA, and American football ones happen very rarely.
Funny thing is that we don't get so many of those these days. Which means the Westerns and the Greater Westerns really hate each other.

The Giants are just absolute fuckwits that have never gotten over 2016 where their fans were drowned out in a home game and then Toby Greene punched Caleb Daniel in the face as he was running past, kicked Dahlhaus in the face, punched Cooney in the face back in the day and tried to stick his fingers in Bonts face. They showed their cards immediately by having Haynes flip the coin even though he's not the captain and it's pretty clear that they just can't stop themselves being absolute loving grubs when they play against us.

Bont did gently caress up his throat, though. And he got off.

There's a difference between just an accidental collision in the course of the game which results in an injury and some oval office like Toby Greene just punching Caleb Daniel in the face with a roundhouse as Daniel was running past. One is an accident and it sucks and the other is yet another case of a sociopath that can't stop himself from doing poo poo like that.

Alright I agree GWS is stacked with dickheads, and I also agree that Bont didn’t mean to crush Haynes’ larynx but that’s wasn’t an accidental collision. It was a crude late hit and was intended to hurt. The dogs aren’t innocent little underdogs anymore we can’t keep pretending they are. They are very unlikable again

Should that hit on Whitfield have resulted in a free kick? I thought it was just part of the play but I've seen a bunch of people on BigFooty saying GWS were robbed

Nah, Naughton was clearly chasing the ball and didn't go off his line. Accidents happen and good players get injured but sometimes a guy getting knocked out in a collision is just that.


edit: I don't want to victim blame but Whitfield pulling short in the contest was what probably caused him to get caught in the head

Whitfield was being very brave by putting his head over the ball but sadly for him someone bigger was already bending down to pick it up and coming towards him very quickly.

ssendon defended Conor McKenna has tested positive for COVID-19.

McKenna was named to play his first game of 2020 at the MCG.

The Irishman returned back into the country last month and served two weeks self-isolation.

He had since returned to training and was with teammates as recently as Saturday

All players are required to have a COVID-19 test 24 hours out from an AFL match.

AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan will hold a press conference at the MCG at 4pm.

Saturday would either be today or last sat? Dons played Sydney last Sunday. Sydney shared a plane with GWS to get to Melbourne. GWS played the Dogs already. Sydney just played North. Rip Football?

E: hopefully it's today.

Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.
oh boy, Victoria holding at current rona restrictions and now McKenna tests positive, this is going to go into summer. How do they resched the Dons and Melbourne game? And then they have to test everyone before next weekend if they want to play then or for a fortnight?
