GAME DAY

[Jaded No More 68,976]

We never will, but we should send a stern please explain to the AFL regarding the umpiring today. Absolutely [censored] disgraceful.

How can they be allowed to make so many mistakes? Pathetic.

Also please for the love of god no more Byrnes. He is useless.

Edit: Fitzy is fantastic, and Watts has had the most remarkable transformation since Neeld was sacked.

[jnrmac 20,309]

3/4 time and not one of our players has had 10 kicks.

[monoccular 17,700]

So what IS the rule for forced behinds?

Maybe that failed Tiger and failed umpire coach Gieshen could explain it........if he or anyone else actually knows. :-)))

[CBDees 3,167]

The club has a few forwards at its disposal . Mitch, Dawes, Watts, Hogan and Fitzy. Fitzy maybe good trade bait for the saints or bullies.

Fitzgerald is an Interesting one. Was touted a top 10 draft pick a year before his draft. Was diagnosed with chronic fatigue in his trade year and was poor as a result and his trade stocks diminished. It turns out he has diabetes and has improved a lot since this has been managed.

Has played well against the best defensive team in the league. He could be something good or just a flash in the pan. Play him for the rest of the season and trade him if Mitch's foot is ok

Of the five you mention, only three are on the Paddock today, and we have never had more than that available. Effectively what you are suggesting is that we trade our tallest and second youngest forward to leave us with two. What is the logic in that?

[The Yarra 83]

Trengove simply can't run with McVeigh. We were supposed to have drafted an 'elite' runner in Trenners.

[Demonsterative 3,021]

Why would we bloody trade him?!

Coz we need mids more than forwards!!! We have too many talls in the team. You cant trade crap and get AFL players. Fitzy is showing value ATM and he may gets us a mid that is more important to the team

Simple really

People forget that as one of the lowly teams we get the most inexperienced umpires, week in week out. The good umpires get the Geelong hawthorn gigs.

Its not right, Its not fair. It is what it is.

No

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Oh and can someone man the [censored] up on McVeigh? He is taking the [censored] out there!

[stuie 7,374]

So what IS the rule for forced behinds?

It was actually the correct call. He didn't kick it to himself, can't dispose of it with a handball.

[DemonOX 8,837]

Do we really need umpires?

They are USELESS

So frustrating

I understand your logic but I think it would be ludicrous to trade out what's looking to be our one of our best big men.

[DEE fence 5,050]

Fitzy apart from Hogan is the only fwd we have who is not carrying an injury, why would we trade him? Beautiful lead, and his kicking is improving with confidence. Do not sell. Tippett is an example of why Frawley is gold dust and must be retained.

[jnrmac 20,309]

Trengove simply can't run with McVeigh. We were supposed to have drafted an 'elite' runner in Trenners.

Draft Notes:

Trengove has all the right physical attributes - height, endurance and speed. He is possibly the best marking midfielder in the draft - the way he floats across packs at times is reminiscent of James Hird. His skills are sound and, watching him play, the thing you notice is his constant involvement in what is going on. He gets to the right places and, when he's there, usually has some sort of say in what happens with the ball. He's a smart, brave, perceptive player with the skills to finish things off.

Trengove dispelled any doubt over his speed off the mark at last month's state testing session in Adelaide. He ran 2.97 seconds in the 20-metre sprint to complement his awesome endurance - he's a former state-level cross country runner.

[DemonOX 8,837]

Nice Watts mark.

MMM said ...the rulebook STATES if the ball is HANDBALLED through with no pressure then its a BOUNCE at the top of the square!!

Ok, as I said, trade out one of our excess tall forwards. Fitzy has the least history at AFL. He has been impressive today. Take him out and put in a very good midfielder with Hogan, Clark, Watts and Dawes in the forward line.

It's simple IMO.

As i said it depends on Clarks Injury

[deanox 10,058]

It was actually the correct call. He didn't kick it to himself, can't dispose of it with a handball.

My understand is that it should then be a bounce on the top of the goal line.

[Bay Riffin 1,509]

I hate Nicholson as a player. Absolutely hate him.

Out of interest did you hate him in the last qtr last week, where without him we would have lost ?

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

I'm happy Watts attempted that. More of it please

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Out of interest did you hate him in the last qtr last week, where without him we would have lost ?

Yeah man. Hate is blind.

[Demonsterative 3,021]

He's our best (along side Watts) ATM. Watts maybe having a poor game in the forward line today, but he is a very good swingman. Down back toady he's been better.

It's a good problem to have but the club needs mids. They need to look at trading for a good mid. The draft and pre season draft will help, but our whole list is un balanced with talls. Dunn is not going to get us a player

[ucanchoose 1,816]

Maybe that failed Tiger and failed umpire coach Gieshen could explain it........if he or anyone else actually knows. :-)))

He needed to kick it to himself to restart play first. This is why the rule was bought in. CORRECT DECISION

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Only 5 goals in it in the last q against the last years premiers is not bad!

[Akum 2,660]

Why was Clisby left to take the kick-out in the first place?
