Did anyone hear BT say after Nas’ injury a snide remark about how the players weren’t able to warm up on the ground before the game - inferring the AFLW game gad somehow contributed to Nas’ injury 🙄 ffs so sick of these dinosaurs getting airtime.

I didn't watch 7's telecast - thanks to Kayo  :)

The AFL players could be seen warming up in the background as Abbie McKay was being presented with her Golden Fist award.  That was about an hour before the AFL game started.  Perhaps BT was referring to the delay between the warm up and the start of the game for the Spud's Game "Light Up The Dark".  It was supposed to go for two minutes but was probably closer to three minutes and that could make all the difference with superbly fit AFL footballers  ::)

Surely the fact that Nas went into the game with hip and back injuries couldn't have played a part? 

Making sense isn't really part of BT's shtik.

Ill also add that this is yet another example of what player confidence and enjoyment can bring. Crippa has been mentioning "joy" in many of his interviews of late. Given he is studying psychology, I'd guess he has been leading and driving the "joy" theme. Florent mentioned fun in his interview last night as well as doing your job, nothing more nothing less. From Young and Byrne to Crippa and Walsh, everyone is playing their role. No passengers, its a wonderful thing to see. 
I also heard Crippa say a few times the trust they have in each other which stood out to me… did they maybe not trust some that were there previously 🤔

I have to say i feel a bit sorry for TDK - huge pressure getting that type of pay packet. Hopefully he improves as he absolutely has the potential - just not against us nor to help StK do better in the years ahead!

Also meant the dinosaur comment re BT due to him having a crack about the AFLW game on before the game. If that impeded anyones warm up really theyd all be injured. In saying that he just grinds my gears so maybe i took it the wrong way. Regardless can’t understand how hes still commentating, the guy shows such a lack
Of interest in some games, he comes across as lazy in his preparation of the game and knowledge of players.

Personally, I sort of understand why Carlton people avoid BT, he's basically glossed over Carlton in the call for years, but I'd turn this around. If he approaches Carlton people after the game I'd instruct them to start with a comment like "BT, you look a bit flat did you enjoy the game?"

When BT interrupted the Podcast recording Cottrell and Hayward tried it on a bit, but BT ignored the question. Then he basically complained about Carlton people doing the same thing to him!

Pitto shows the way to go, he turns the trivialisation back on the interviewers.

Pitto is actually a very funny man. His interview on the Sunday Footy Show was a classic.

Did anybody else notice Cerra briefly clutch the hammy in the last quarter, he played on so maybe it was just cramp?

One change in recent weeks we can definitely attribute to the post-Voss era, Cerra moving to the HBF has made a huge difference to his game and the impact he has on our transitions from D50 to F50. I realise he done this once or twice before, but he looks settled in now as a genuine replacement for  the injured Newman.

That was flagged by the fox commentators, Browny i think. They said they would investigate, but i can't recall hearing a follow up.

I did think of MBBs theory that cold night games = cerra hammy.

He said in his post match interview that moving to the HBF as due to Newman going down.
