It's a low scoring season so far.
Obviously the crowd support does have an influence on performance.

It was. The venue was fabulous, everything was easy, travelling by train, amenities, food and drinks. Pints for $6!! Pies were reasonable price. $30 seats. Great night out with the son and daughter sons in law. Love having a few non local games.
The crowd noise wasn't bad at the ground. I think there was only 22/23000.

Completely forgot about the finals tipping comp this year, looks like I'm not the only one. Oh well, I suppose we've all got other things on our mind at the moment, especially us in Victoria.

How do women AFL players make a living ? In fact how do many top line athletes survive financially?
The suicide of GWS star Jacinda Barclay shocked her teammates and the industry. But teh background to her situation is worth understanding.

The dogs are going great guns on the field !!! I'm just a bit torn about their latest sponsor. I'm so wary about the crypto currency deal.Don't get too disheartened guys, I'm a Dockers tragic, founder member, still embarrassed.
IMV it is as much of a gambling problem as any of the current gambling entities and frankly shouldn't be encouraged.

Adelaide Crows star Taylor Walker has been banned for six games by the AFL after the league found he made a racist comment at a SANFL game.
Walker, who has apologised for the incident, will also have to make a donation of $20,000 to an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander program in SA.
"There is no excuse or justification for the words I said," Walker said in a statement released by the AFL.
"They are unacceptable and I take full accountability for that. I am deeply ashamed.
The comment was reported by an Adelaide Crows official, sparking an investigation by the AFL Integrity Unit.
"Taylor Walker of the Adelaide Crows, who was not playing in the match, made a racist comment regarding North Adelaide player, Robbie Young, to an Adelaide Crows teammate who was playing," the AFL said in its statement.
"An Adelaide Crows official overheard the comment and reported the incident to the club who reported it to the AFL."

Is the footy on this weekend now with the Melbourne lockdown?
They are running out of places left in Australia.

I can't believe the Dockers have got into the final eight, I was an original member and I can't remember when I was last excited.

The mercurial Eddie Betts is finally hanging up his boots.
Not a Carlton or Crows supporter, but there is so much to admire about the way Eddie went about things.
He has done more for his Aboriginal nation than all of the others put together.
A great loss to the on field footy.

Toby Green should at least miss the finals for umpire contact. Bare minimum.
All the umpires in the junior leagues will be in trouble next year if he gets anything less. He probably should get 8 weeks.

Eight weeks probably too much, but its his second offence.
The guys a great player but a complete F$#@wit.
He just does not think about his actiopns, then seems surprised and hurt when people call him out.

Will have to get a minimum of two weeks. Total drop kick and he has also managed to undermine GWS's tilt at the flag. (Very good thank you!!
)It will be interesting to see if the Tribunal decides to make an example of him and imposes a lengthy suspension and savage public dressing down.
