@hasumpstuffedup The quicker they get rid of prior opportunity, the better off this game will be.

This was correctly umpired Maynard tackled immediately after he gathered the ball and tries to dispose. No prior + genuine attempt = play on Bolton has a clear prior opportunity but fails to dispose. That's HTB Well umpired. Fans need to understand the difference #AFLPiesFreo

But you say I'm still a chance 😆#nfl #melbourne #nflrams49ers #joke

@BGreenshields @hasumpstuffedup If you slow down the footage the signal is given as he takes off. Then what should have been looked at was if Hawthorn players were inside the protected zone.

Rule check @hasumpstuffedup At the very end, Gunston hit the post & the ball bounced off the post straight into the hands of Holmes who played on immediately. Should Holmes have been allowed to play on immediately or does there need to be a signal from the goal umpire first?

@damoj88 @StephChiocci @gardinerstand Pies are cooked. Even if they get Ben King (why would he leave the Suns now) who is going to kick it to him?

@CJPepper06 @StephChiocci @gardinerstand Weitering isn't an issue. McKay good at times, but lost consistency since his Coleman season. Cripps seems the game has gone past him, Cerra overrated. Regarding youngsters; the likes of Dean, Jagga, Walsh, Byrne and the incoming Cody Walker are a great nucleus to build from.

Like for like, the Dees may have a slightly more talented list than the Blues yet they’re game play is worlds apart - how much of this is in between the ears? The coach? Game plan?

@damoj88 @StephChiocci @gardinerstand You need to clean out Cripps, Weitering, McKay, Cerra and get what you can for them. A lot more pain coming when Tassie comes in.

@StephChiocci @gardinerstand It’s amazing what a proper coach can do to rejuvenate a list. Many forget the impact McRae had on the Pies when he replaced Bucks. They went from 17th to 4th, and a kick away from a GF with virtually the exact same list. Like Dees, watch Blues improve once Voss is gone. 👍🏻

@andrew_whelan @SwoopLuke And also on Easter Sunday when people are with family or away. Just on 47% of the membership turned up.

@SwoopLuke Last two Collingwood v Gold Coast crowds at the MCG 2022: 28,916 2021: 24,397

huge crowd in to see the dees topple the ladder leaders!

@ZeinabElayoubi Easy to forget the ones that weren't paid earlier in the game on the MCC wing. Swings and roundabouts.

i am still angry about this decision how the ump did not see that idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

@lenphil29 There are people who work during the day that can't take the day off and watch. Also, the Melbourne Cup is just on three minutes not three hours so that's a stupid analogy. The highest watched games for the year are played at night. The most important games are played at night.

the football world's obsession with changing things to benefit people who don't actually like the game enough to prioritise watching it continues to amaze

@hasumpstuffedup There were worse NOT paid in this game for both teams

Prior is inherently subjective but no prior here for me. Tackled virtually immediately and completely wrapped up. #AFL #AFLBluesDees

@EmlynBreese Not even close. Absolutely woeful.

@CJPepper06 I think the only recent game that comes close is last year vs north

This is worse than the 2018 Prelim Final against West Coast in Perth. #AFLBluesDees

@AFL It's all about the optics the AFL want to have so it doesn't influence kids to do it in junior footy. I don't agree with the fine but what else is he supposed to do. Going to the good old days where smack to the schnoz would have sail settled it.

Patrick Voss can accept a $1,000 fine for other misconduct following this incident involving Harrison Petty. Full Saturday Match Review findings: afl.com.au/news/1482834

@tommorris32 Apparently it was $60 for a general admission ticket

9k fewer than this night last year. Why?

@tommorris32 @melbournefc @AFLrecord A great insight on how the club HAS changed after the writing was on the wall which Roffey, Pert and others refused to read.

“We had guys fighting, guys on drugs. It was just a mess.” Sat down with @melbournefc’s new power trio - King, Guerra & Smith - for an in-depth chat, via this week’s @AFLrecord. Refreshing honesty on the club’s broken culture, the exits of Goodwin, Oliver & Petracca, why there was no strategy or tactics pre-Xmas, hopes for a new era, + more. 👇👇 @1116sen @AFLNation

@cleary_mitch Surely Brisbane challenge Gardner's ban. Was clumsy and deserved a 50 but I think that's where it ends. I'm sure this won't be handed a ban in late August/September.

Harris Andrews given three-match ban for swinging arm on Arty Jones. Careless, high, severe impact. Zac Bailey one-match ban for elbow on Michael Sellwood. Intentional, high, low impact. Darcy Gardiner one-match ban for late hit on Aaron Naughton. Careless, high, medium impact.

Well done AFL. You have finally killed in the back free kicks. You can just jump onto your opponent laying on the ground and nothing will happen. Like Victoria's bail laws. #AFLLionsDogs

The AFL wanYt to fasten the game, but they stop it for a guy with a sore shoulder. Hypocrisy at its finest. #AFLSwansBlues

Get ready for the Sydney Swans vs. Carlton AFL clash! Key players to watch and a prediction: Swans take the win. Don't miss this epic showdown! #AFL #SydneySwans #CarltonFC
