Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading)
I'm not a fan of either. Biden has done a few good things, although admittedly the bar in the US is set pretty low.

Newman had a big game.
I guess he might scrape in a vote or two. I thought Pittonet and Acres were ok-ish, but it was a pretty dark day all round, and we shouldn't sugarcoat it IMO.

.............................................................................. That incident is a main reason I do not want to see prior opportunity removed, it's not football, if fans want to go see that sort of game go and watch soccer instead! I'd be happy to ban kicking off the ground altogether!
I'd have to agree. It is a hard game to umpire, and different interpretations are no doubt frustrating, but as more and more teams follow the Richmond model and keep the ball moving forward at all costs, mostly by kicking off the deck, tap ons etc., the game just loses something IMO. It becomes in a way, uglier.

Folks don't think that Voss can spot a half arsed effort a mile out ?

I see no value in finger pointing and naming/shaming. What I saw was a team who tried their guts out, but whose efforts were pretty much ineffectual.
A game seemingly tailor made for the Craig McRae windscreen wiper analogy. Just wipe it away, forget about it, and move on. Nothing to be gained by "reviewing hard" as far as I can see.

Too many stars in top form, no injuries, well drilled. Swans will torch plenty of teams this year.

Probably not.
We need to make Blakey accountable for one of Tom, Charlie and Harry, preferably the latter. If his opponent is getting good delivery and making the most of it, Blakey will be flat out like a lizard drinking.
