It's been a BIG WEEK IN FOOTBALL, or so they say. But what exactly have they been saying this week?

What have the Pies been training?

Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley revealed during his press conference this week that the Pies will be adding in a skills-focused session each week in the hope to fix up the consistent mistakes made on-field.

Uhhh....

Focus on footy please

On a recent podcast, Brent Harvey has revealed just how much the infamous 'Wayne Carey scandal' from 20 years ago affected his North Melbourne Football Club.

The responses were exactly what you'd expect.

How do we feel about Holman?

After initially being reported for two weeks for a dangerous tackle on Geelong's Mitch Duncan, the AFL's MRO opted to throw out the charge in what was a big win for the game and its fans.

Most fans chose to commend the common sense approach, while others chose to look at the inconsistency.

Lachie Plowman's suspension officially official

After losing their appeal earlier in the week to have Lachie Plowman's controversial rough conduct suspension thrown out, Carlton took to the AFL appeals board in a last ditch attempt to overturn the decision.

After a marathon sitting, it was determined that the suspension would indeed be officially upheld.

Some fans definitely didn't hold back in their thoughts on the decision.

St Kilda "swing the axe"

After Saints coach Brett Ratten threatened big changes coming for their clash against the bottom of the table Kangaroos, the club responded in a way that wouldn't signal the same intent, omitting the big names of... Jack Bytel and Jack Lonie.

And the Saints fans weren't much pleased about it.

Simply too much for some

While we're on the Saints, they were absolutely were slaughtered to approximately A TON OF POINTS by the Western Bulldogs last Saturday night, and for some fans, it appears there were more interesting things to focus on, but not sure there could have been a much more cutting response than this one, from The Front Bar and comedian Sam Pang.

Ben's Bombers' Beer Bungle

Essendon convincingly beat North Melbourne by 72-points in round 10, but this Bomber fan is probably still not happy.

After chasing a ball destined for out of bounds, The 'Roos Ben McKay couldn't save it in time and headed over the railing, knocking over an Essendon fans beer in the process.

The MRO might look at the intent in this one.

Apparently the beer "was pretty warm anyway."

Speaking of "intent" ...

After the umpire initially didn't deem anything wrong with Nick Murray's handball to the boundary line late in Adelaide's tight one-point upset win over the undefeated Demons, the AFL - as they do - conducted a further look into the decision and found that the call should have been a deliberate out of bounds, resulting in a Melbourne free-kick to potentially win the game.

Cue *total shock* from the fans on social media.

Wonder what we're going to see next week?
