Just for the record, there are St Kilda fans online asking about the footage of Riley Bice touching the Wilson kick for goal: “Does that look like a human hand to you?”

I mean, with supporters like that, what could possibly go wrong

Heeney was bonkers tough. 30 possies, 11 contested, 6 tackles, 10 score involvements, 2 goals and of course the final give - all with a bloke hanging off him in a way that Isaac will be giving birth in 9 months.

The difference for me though is how clean he stays. And some of those left foot kicks down the outer side wing in the final quarter, only he can do. Let alone the late switch to a left handed handball to Serong.

Isaac is the best all round footballer I’ve seen live. What he
does in a game is mind boggling. My kids call him The Rock Star.

Well, I hope that they get to test the validity of that argument in the High Court. It would make quite a fun documentary.

And if it's not a human hand, what do they think it is? Alien? Kangaroo? Transformer?

"Er, you do realise that if you win this thing, you'll finish 11th instead of 12th, don't you?"
"Doesn't matter. It's the principle of the matter."

OMG! Finally something we can agree on. Wrong decision to play Melican over Ladhams. Melican was, as so often happens, out of touch and a metre off the pace. Ladhams is pretty average as a forward but he is greatly improved as a mark and ball user. Still an iffy kick but he would have been a far better option than Melican. I would be ticked off if he did not get a call up next week when we play is former side, Port.

Grundy had no change in Time On Ground the first time this year playing alongside 4 talls.
Can't question him when it matters but Geelong and Saints tried to work him over.

Its no longer a question of who the other team has and can he handle the work load, the way we are going he wont last the season.

Less Grundy is more Grundy, they need to play Ladhams

He certainly is

many of us have said imagine if he played for Geelong and how much praise he would receive from the Victorian media

Last few seasons he has been truly a Rockstar !!!

elite !!

10 @@@@ing weeks for JMac

Watched the game again and Harry Kyle caught attention. I think his running style is very similar to Chad Warner. He is courageous and has great kicking skills. I am sure he will be in the midfield as he develops more skills and tank.
McInerney loss is massive for our ball movement.
Mills won't be able to come out of our defence next week. He was very good for most parts.
Our injury list is as long as it can get.
We won't have necessary reinforcement till the week after the game against Brisbane. I hope we win atleast 1 out of the next 2.

That’s real BAD news re Juzzy. Not just the length, but also because he’s a touch player who usually takes a couple of games back to find his best. Which effectively means he will be pushing to get back to form for finals. We saw in ‘24 he just didn’t come back the same. Fingers crossed it’s only eight weeks and he gets a few home and away games under his belt.

The footage from AFL 360 showed the ball was touched about half a metre inside the field of play. Not even close enough to warrant a score review.

Coaches votes for the game. Perhaps Edwards was a touch unlucky?
