Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
Presser for the crows. What a class individual, absolutely respectful way to answer the questions about your former club.

Back-to-back flags for Billy Stretch
Was actually a great game of footy, huge clunks end to end, with speed on the ball. Unfortunately as a redlegs supporter the result didn’t go our way.

I read it that it was the opinion of the board that trying to nominate to be on the board without being asked would be considered by them “adversarial”. Nominations are allowed it’s just they didn’t like it.

Really? It seems to me all he wanted was a reasonable chance to put forward a case to the voting members as to why he would be a better candidate. He was not given that chance. I don’t know the bloke, but it sure seems like all he asked for was a democratic election process. I read the judgement and it sure seems like his requests were fair and reasonable.

PODCAST: Rd 20 vs GWS
Can we have a discussion about centre clearances. I concede that there is nuances around centre clearance, that mean winning every centre clearance isn’t necessary, especially if the opposition kick dirty ball in that we can intercept and slingshot from. But I don’t think it’s any coincidence that the first quarter saw us win some centre clearance, get territory and then lock it in with pressure resulting in a fairly dominant quarter. Post 1st quarter The Giants then were able to get on top in the middle. This is a repeat pattern that opposition is winning clearance but are getting cleaner entries than we would like, putting our defence under way too much pressure. I can concede we have had injuries, But we have the premier ruckman in the comp and our midfield cattle is good. Is this an Yze vs Mcqualter thing or what is going on in the centre clearances.

Maybe it’s something to do with those cracked ribs?

Barring Jake Lever, all our key defensive stocks are 30+. Let’s face it Jake Lever is almost with them. It makes sense for us to make changes that are in the right age profile where possible in an incremental way. Rather than us losing 2 or 3 in one hit. Seems like the right type of player to me. I’d rather take a known quantity in the key defensive posts than risking drafting for one given our current age demographic in this area.

Umpiring (Demonland in meltdown)
This is an interesting read: https://chewthestat.com/freekickeveryone-a-study-of-the-free-kick-count-as-the-football-fans-favourite-scapegoat/ Im just curious, out of the 11 free kicks paid to Carlton in the first quarter, which ones didn’t you like? Or conversely is there some we should of gotten but didn’t? Or is it a combination of both?
