    Bummer for the fans of the screamer.
    I for one am glad they are not replaying it. Looked horrible when he was laying on the ground in agony.

      I don't need to see people hurting themselves. Well, maybe skateboarders, but not footy injuries.

          Yes, his movements suggested that the injury was really grim, so I've no great desire to see his arm snapping.

          Although, I suspect that footage is already being uploaded to YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, etc.

            I just missed it initially.....so I was curious. From all accounts it doesn't bare replaying.

            It has, a youtube 'short' but while it's easy to see how it happened, it's really hard to see exactly what happened to his arm. Not very graphic at all....thankfully.

              Would it be funny or just cruel if there was another draw tonight? Bring it on!

                Early days, of course, but i greatly fear that Collingwood are very, very good.

                    All the more enjoyable to beat them, per last year.

                      Yes, only early, but you'd assume that they're going to be a threat. McRae can obviously coach. They had the pace and the ball skills to run Geelong ragged. It'll be interesting to see how teams try to counteract their run. Clogging the centre? More tagging?

                        An article on the AFL is saying the injury is pretty bad
                        Teammates were left distressed when they saw bone protruding from Howe’s arm ...

                          I would have enjoyed another draw but ultimately I think I preferred Collingwood winning to Geelong. So no complaints from me about results so far this round.

                            Let's hope all teams bring the heat against the reigning premiers ... as they should.

                              North v. Weagles surprisingly entertaining.

                                I wonder if Rioli will get mark of the week, for something that probably wasn't quite a mark? Still, nice effort though.
