General Footy Tipping and Discussion Thread

Tips for Round 12:

PORT v RICH = RICH BY 20
GEEL v NM = NM
GWS v GC = GWS
STK v SYD = SYD
BL v ESS = BL
FRE v ADE = FRE (will depend on Fyfe's tribunal outcome tomorrow night, might change)
MELB v COLL = MELB (at the moment, tempted to tip against esp. with Lever out now)

I think Lever out will hurt us a bit. He's been very good the last month.

I think melbourne have enough depth in the squad to get the win this week and stay a good team throughout the season. Lever is great but you dont start flogging teams by 50-100 points unless the whole squad is pretty damn good

MELB v COLL = COLL <3. Going to be a cracking game. Going to buy tickets for it now

I actually haven't seen the incident, but did you think it was worth a week, Aaron?

Yeah, Greenwood doesn't even have the ball and he still chose to lift the elbow. That's the way I saw it anyway.

It was a quick decision but the wrong one to make from him.

Has been a week ban given for a lot less.

Agreed. Feel real sorry for him  to be honest. A big price to pay for a quick but ultimately dumb decision like that.

and Simpkin got off a 2-match ban!! Thank god for frame by frame shots.

Does anyone else think this whole MRO (match review officer) thing is bullcrap? One person deciding the penalties for all players in the AFL. I know Michael Christian is a veteran in this space but surely there's another way?

The person who submitted those frame-by-frame shots is on BigFooty; they have a thread over there at the moment celebrating that fact haha.

What really grinds my gears about the MRO is that he submits himself to an interview about his decisions, and also comments on things that are going to the tribunal, which could prejudice the result. It really shits me that the tribunal has this quasi-legal structure and yet its processes are so poor.

Pathetic.

Absolutely butchered the game apart from the third quarter.

the cycle continues:
1. give false hope
2. butcher chances
3. repeat 1 & 2

Not impressed at all

Sinclair and Franklin ripping it up!

How good is Buddy holy shit

[Aaron]

Easier when you're playing a crap team

St Kilda are in crisis. They have gone from bad to worse. They need to change something bigtime because clearly long term it hasn't paid off whatever they've been doing.

Winning the inside 50 count but 70 points down. Lol

Good luck Joseph
