What’s a “granny”? I thought it was an affectionate name for one’s grandmother 👵.

Terrible abreviation, as bad as “footy” instead of football.

I must say that Collingwood FC are off to a good start. After the Joffa saga, along comes some powder sniffing surfie to settle things a little.

Looks like the Match Review People haven't a clue (as usual). No consistency.

If the AFL want to be serious about this issue - all 3 would have gotten 3+ weeks.
But the AFL are pathetic and have no idea what they're doing.
Buddy, who actually hit someone in the head, gets only 1 week whereas 2 blokes who hit the chest (albeit with much greater force) got more weeks.
No issue with suspending people based on intent (or potential injury) but FFS be serious about and be consistent!

I wonder if the media will have a weeks saturation coverage of the brawl at the Collingwood and Port game yesterday ?

I’d post to communicate my joy but I don’t think we have any Powder Puff supporters on here....not any that would admit it.

Last nights showdown was a cracking game which is contrast to most of the games I’ve seen this season. Most of the games a low scoring arm wrestles with a roaming pack of players around the ball .

So Mega, you weren’t watching the 6-goal A-League game on at the same time?

What about the night before? Were you watching the 5-goal thriller A-League game (WSW v A.U.), or two suburbs of Bleak Town called Collingwood and Richmond do battle in their VFL?

What about this Friday 7th April 4.30pm? Will you be going to Estadio Hindmarsh to watch Adelaide United v Sydney FC, or watching two suburbs of Melbourne (North Melbourne and Carlton) play in their VFL?

In 2024 the AFL are going amend their fixtures so that no matches clash either live or on tv with AU home games ;-)

You meant to write “you’re sure..” but thanks Coops. I do like to keep informed. But yeah, nah - I just asked Mr Google for those fixtures.

ps, you’ll be proud of me - I’ve NEVER been to an AFL (aka VFL) game. The World game is my game.

Still some effort involved in googling fixtures and clashes.

No idea who you are to even attempt to considering being proud of you, and unlikely i would be.

So, you only support / follow one sport?

id rather watch a Crows V power game than Wellington, Perth, Newcastle, Brisbane etc. i'd rather watch Adl play before watching most Crows games

and yes, i watched enough of the Adl game to confirm we dont need to play a 'false 9'.....
