I haven't seen either incident with Hayes and Docherty, too angry to watch the replay.
First I have heard of the Docherty one, not sure when it happened.
We can't dish up rubbish like last night again, have to win this game or we will unlikely make the finals.

I cant see that happening.

I saw the Hayes tackle and not sure why he would be rubbed out. It wasn't a sling tackle.
I don't remember the Docherty bump?

...ok?

why will Josh Kelly miss?

Concussion

My side

B: Docherty Young McGovern
HB: Cottrell Weitering Saad
C: Hayes Cripps O’Brien
HF: Cerra McKay Fisher
F: Silvagni Curnow Motlop
Foll: Pittonet Hewett Walsh
Int: Kennedy Setterfield Newman TDK (Plowman)

Cottrell I would play on Greene. Allows Docherty & Saad freedom
Pittonet McGovern Setterfield O’Brien back in
Durdin dropped. Needs to go back and work on a few things
Stocker is NOT a defender. Play him in the middle in the 2s
Plowman as sub. I hate younger players as sub. They need games.

Hayes will be rubbed out because the player he tackled knocked his head on the ground due to having his arms pinned and was subsequently subbed out due to concussion protocols. It’s nit the intent, it’s the result that will have him rubbed out, plus the Carlton excess will apply to any penalty.

Please no umpire Williamson. Absolutely garbage every time we get him

If they want to punish the club, they’ll let him off.

Good reason why he’s only played 13 games at 27.

He’s flowered

Of course if a name player does the exact same thing a week before or during finals, it'll be a fine at most.

Will Hayes has been offered a two-match ban by the Match Review Officer after being charged with rough conduct (dangerous tackle).

Have to appeal on principle. No slinging, no dumping action, not dangerous. An unfortunate football accident and no more.

Was a late withdrawal last week against the Eagles due to a calf strain. Currently expected to be sidelined for the next two weeks. (Update: 14 July)

I reckon it could go like this

In: Pittonet, O’Brien
Out: TDK (managed/injured), Hayes (suspended)

I am totally with you.

I think a lot of people both fans here and media experts have grossly overrated us.

There were fans who seemed very confident we would beat Geelong. I certainly wasn't.
And how's the nerd on Fox Footy saying we are the second best team in the comp !

We have improved but every single time we have an opportunity to go equal top we blow it.
We continually fail to take the next step.

Don't get me wrong, it is what it is.
We simply aren't that good yet.

It has been a yoyo past few months.
Opportunity to go up with the top group lost.
Then we have to beat a lower or middle ladder side to stay in contention with the top teams.

The worry I have is chances are this sequence of wlwlwlwl will be broken at some point and it'll either be by us finally beating a top side and going equal top (if only for a couple days) or by us losing to a lower or middle table side.

If anything the pressure is on us now this weekend.

We simply have to win otherwise we suddenly put ourselves at risk of missing finals.
Lose and teams like the Dogs etc have a glint in their eye as they see a team inside the 8 is vulnerable and has opened the door.

What's more likely?
We rise with the top teams.
Or we drop a game we ought to win and become vulnerable.

We should win this weekend, right?
But we have failed to be consistent for 2 months now, not being able to win 2 games on the trot over this period.
Shock losses happen every weekend.

Sorry everyone I am not trying to be negative for the sake of it, I just don't know if I trust this side and I think the pressure is actually building on us and I do worry we are a chance to blow one of these should-win games.

I hope I am wrong.

Except he was flailing his free arm and had gone limp to try to draw a holding free, which he was rightfully awarded.

Deciding penalties based on outcome vs intent is what the MRO does though.

This says it all IMO

AFL website talk more about us trying to finish top 4 than us maybe missing the 8

https://www.afl.com.au/news/798736/the- ... lide-again

I reckon top 4 is a total pipe dream given our form the past 2 months
