Close to the end now but I'm pretty sure 7+ is showing all the devils games this year

That's where I watched the first half

There is something I just do not understand about AFL 2026 style, blokes take the footy in clear space and just stone cold drop it when tackled, often after taking a couple of steps, and it's play on.

How is that ruling rational when in the same game you see a bloke like Cripps pinged for holding on the inside of a stoppage, often when tackled and being held before he even takes the footy?

Ditch the prior opportunity and there is consistency across all contests.  ;)

Well, I'm afraid they've already gone halfway to that, and for the simple reason the imbalance in the decision making combined with variability of the stand rule has made things worse than ever before.

You can lay a perfect tackle in the goal square and umpires are afraid to pay the free, even after moments of clear play, that's nothing to do with prior opportunity.

Further to that, when those calls go the exact wrong way, and you've already pressed forward, you're basically screwed by the stand rule going the other way.

We win 93-68

Hewett and Wilson both had 39 disposals.
Chesser had 27
The best Ruckman at Carlton not on our list (or maybe just the best)-Flynn Riley had 19 disposals 39 hitouts and 8 marks.

Quite something, considering we missed our first 4 shots and didn't score a goal in the first quarter. I am going to enjoy watching the replay.
What I can gather from the stats:
[1] We had 7 of the top 8 possessions getters. Some of our mids had incredibly dominant games.
Billy Wilson: 40 possessions, 0 tackles and 1 clearance. Probably his most effective game.
George Hewett: 39 possessions and is too good for the VFL. He had 10 clearances and 7 tackles in a Cripps-like game.
Campbell Chesser had his best game by far, with 27 possessions, 4 clearances, 3 tackles and a goal.
Harry Charleson had 27 possessions as well from defence.
Jordan Boyd had 26 possessions.
Adam Saad had 25 possessions.
Darcy Hogg had 23 possessions.

[2] To repeat the obvious, we really lack real targets going forward. There are few options to take a mark.
That said, Jack Ison kicked 4 goals 1 from 9 possessions to be the most effective forward on the park.
Derksen kicked 2 goals 1 and had 19 possessions, suggesting he wants a senior game. But who else was there?

[3] Flynn Riley has his issues in the ruck, but he was dominant tonight. He had 39 taps, almost 4 times as many as his opponent. Mapley was being talked about as a MSD option and he had 12 taps.
Riley also had 6 clearances, 8 marks and 19 possessions.

[4] Considering the structural issues we have at the moment, the 2's did an amazing job.
Live Long and Prosper!
