Many thanks @JazeeraAirways for ruining a weekend birthday celebration with not one, but 3 day and time changes for a weekend flight. What an unreliable bunch. Never again #hopeless

#Kylie Today a British work colleague asked me if I knew why it was a big day in my city. "Of course, it's Grand Final Day. Why do you ask, and how do you know that?" "I saw Kylie floating above the #MCG." An hour after the game, Kylie has gone viral.

Umm.....big difference mate- Pendlebury's hit was in play, not miles behind it.
Replying to @thedaily___
100%. Precedent set when Pendlebury escaped a head high bump, you know, those bumps that lead to brain injury. A tummy tap filmed from the Moon is worse in the AFLs eyes. Had he been wearing stripes, free to play

So it seems that the #AFL's Greg Swann forgot to ask #ChampionData for the vision from their 46 cameras at #MCG which clearly showed the #LachieNeale punch. I wonder how he forgot this? Conspiracy theories anybody?

Garry Lyon has done an #AFL360 on the Lachie Neale case. On Monday he vehemently argued with Whateley that the strike was intentional and stupid. Now he says the right decision has been made. Go figure

No, the penalty would have been doubled.
If Lachie Neale was currently a Collingwood player they were in the Grand Final this week instead of Brisbane, do you think he would have got off last night? #afl #lachieneale #aflgrandfinal #brisbanelions #aflfinals

The @AFL ARC didn’t overturn a decision where clearly a yellow ball came off a pink boot because the vision was apparently inconclusive. Surely then this grainy vision is inconclusive as well. 🤷‍♂️ #AFL360

I was hoping it would be a double win for Daics and Bont. Both outstanding players, leaders and young men. Can we not appreciate both without resorting to dumb-arse takes like kick-in stats? #Daicos
I reckon the Dogs should tell Bontempelli to take the kick outs next year so he can get a bunch of bullshit numbers and end up with 50 votes #Brownlow

Tell Carlton that 🤣
Replying to @DoctorFroth
It’s not so much the kick ins ,it’s the cheapie 1-2 around half back ,Or give and go’s on wing that actually don’t help Collingwood at all! He gets about 10 of those a game, great player and deserved the award this year no doubt.. but he doesn’t hurt teams regularly

Congratulations Nick Daicos. A well deserved #BrownlowMedal in arguably the greatest year by any player #GoPies #SideBySide @CollingwoodFC

Perhaps the #AFL Moron of the Year right there.
Never forget that if Daicos wins the #Brownlow he needed the rules changed so the umps could read the stats. He couldn't win it without all that cheap stat padding from taking the kick-ins 😉 #BrownlowMedal

It isn't. Each case on its merits and they have the good character clause to enact. They'll definitely use it. No player should lose a GF appearance for that.

Gut punch is an automatic week ban . Has been all year .

And how about Ginnivan? What does that show-pony deserve?
Replying to @H1MxSLIM @AFL
Gotta follow the rules to the letter of the law as the umpires showed on the last minute of game. Coward deserves a week.

It's his first suspension in a decorated career. Of course it should be downgraded for the GF. There are "character provisions" and the tribunal will surely use them.
Replying to @H1MxSLIM @AFL
Who cares about their achievements. What the fuck does that have to do with punching someone in the guts which others have been suspended all year for?

No doubt a digital staffer attempt at humour. But this is so classless. After a heroic battle - a game for the ages - this is a poor misread, and lacks respect for a titanic battle between two great clubs.

Difference is, Collingwood supporters don't need to borrow Hawthorn's history to feel relevant.
Replying to @MemesAFL
The only difference between Collingwood supporters and Hawthorn supporters is a degree.

It's paid against Collingwood every other week.
The impey decision will get all the attention cause it was the last one but the one 15 seconds earlier was way more controversial. Calling that insufficient intent has barely been called all year. To call that with 1 min to go in a one score game is a wild call.

#AFLHawksLions Great game and a massive finish.

So insightful and so witty. Anymore pearls where that came from?
