the match day thread would have 1 post, saying 'bit nervous about this one'
oh, back on topic, Hocking is to footy what Howard was to Australian culture

Rumour, speculation and opinion are fine of course, but call it what it is, just don't claim things like "he openly admitted" when the evidence for this is "I heard leppa say something on SEN once and I filled in the dots".
Sorry for being a party pooper
agree, if I want to read and hear unsubstantiated, wildly speculative, *smile* and calculated lies
I'll tune into parliament, read the newspapers, or watch the news.
PRE: The last anarchist bastion of truth + special guest
Hocking's latest debacle (no he's not reigniting AFLX) is sending this McKay/Clark incident directly to the tribunal looking for a 3/4 week suspension.
He really is looking to *smile* the game isn't he?

You look at how the AFL operate and then you have to chuckle when it's the supporters being accused of living in an echo chamber.
Of course it is. They were purpose built echo chambers well before echo chamber became a pseudo intellectual term.
He won Geelong's 'Most Determined Player' award four times including three consecutive seasons from 1988 to 1990.
The rule changes were supposed to make the game better to watch. They haven't. As with previous years some games have been great and others have been terrible. Yesterday's game was awful. Can't wait for next years round of "improvements to the game".
But you if listen to the noises emanating from the AFL bubble, you'll hear its the coaches fault and we should be thankful these changes have curbed the slide to soccer like scores.
In McLachocking We Trust
The new manning the mark rule was brought in to stop Richmond's approach to aggressively manning the mark as part of our defensive game plan. Public admission or not we need to find a way to overcome it. Just like the 6-6-6 rule was brought in to stop Alex Rance being the 7th defender at centre ball ups after a goal...we overcame it (ironically without Alex Rance).
The best way to stick it up these guys is to win another flag. If we win another flag this year or next, I think they should bring in another rule that states "players wearing the number 4 are no longer permitted to kick goals".

I get the sentiment, although hard to blame him in isolation from the rest of the clowns.
Apparently is is when you move, jump or do anything that might put the kicker off.
“Openly admitted” is going too far, but given the reports of Hocking attending multiple Richmond training sessions last year plus the comment from Leppitch there is enough to feel like the rule changes are oddly targeted at us at the very least.
If you think the AFL couldn’t/wouldn’t be so brazen as to change rules in an attempt to manufacture an outcome, I strongly suggest you pick up a copy of “The Boys’ Club” by Michael Warner. It’s a good refresher on just what that organization is capable of.
