Anyone have any idea how Dusty gets a fine for an ump push and Curnow get a week for an ump push?

 

Good old "Brownlow Contention" of course!

I must try that next time I'm bretho-d ... "officer, I am in contention for the Brownlow." "Carry on then, citizen."

    I can't wait for a player to demonstrate to an umpire how he had been pulled around the neck and deserved a free.  Will they get a fine?

    Not sure why everyone is surprised, the Brownlow quickly becomes a farce if both fyfe and dusty are missing, it’s all about $$$ to the AFL If they can get him off they will he would have to hit someone to get suspended like fyfe did, dusty is the most marketable player in the game he is almost untouchable it’s why he never gets pinged for high fendoffs and stuff like that

    Too many umpires on the ground maybe??

    Idiots run the game now

    It's clear as day in the rule book. Intentionally making contact, attempting to make contact, carelessly making contact with an ump are all reportable offences.

    The umpiring dept has lost the plot. Why are they chumming up to the players and verbally coaching them when all they're supposed to be doing is refereeing them without fear or favour?

    Unless .... could it be .... they have a conflicting instruction that overrides their programming and jams their circuits .... "thou shalt contribute to the entertainment of the game".

    The AFL have a mania for creating grey areas and look what they reap. Self inflicted but all the rest of us suffer along too.

    Rance should test the boundaries and demonstrate how he grabbed a bloke by the goolies.

    Star player + fan favourite = he gets off & the ump gets suspended!

    Christian came out with a straight face and said the contact was not intentional and was graded careless. Astounding

    Also the case didn’t go the tribunal when the previous ones did.

    Make a statement and set a strong precedent about umpire contact by rubbing out the best player in the comp,   or let him walk free as we don't wanna ruin Brownlow night?

    I'll let you guess what the AFL chose.

    So you can touch the umpires when you’re attempting to demonstrate your point? Got it. 

    Now we get to see the avalanche of junior players "just demonstrating" thing to the umps. Well played, Christian.

    The AFL don't believe in precedent. It kind of cramps one's style, and the TV moguls aren't interested anyway.

    Make the rule simple.

    Intentional v not intentional 

    The rules are already simple. The enforcement of their own rules is a task that is beyond the AFL mismanagement.

    Have you ever seen the movie Hostage? 

    Have read two rumours. One is that players were forced into a fake hostage situation, with "terrorists" ambushing their bus and holding players at gunpoint. 

    Another scneario, revealed by Damian Barrett tonight on FC, involved some kind of nighttime hunter/predator chase through a forest, which left players bewildered and confused.

    The whole thing sounds utterly bizarre.

    If that’s true, no wonder the players are [censored] off. That’s just screwing with peoples heads. What happened to the days of running up sand dunes with spare tyres above your head. World is getting weirder when it should be getting better

    Sounds like they did an escape and evade course and conduct after capture course. Certainly a weird thing to put footy players through.

    Ive heard of some pretty full on corporate team building sessions. I had one two months ago with a smaller team. Whilst they are intrusive, it relies on everyone participating and overall I find its good for team building. However, if its not done correctly people will feel singled out and it will erode trust.

    Sounds like the latter may have happened here, but more seriously.

    Wouldnt surprise me - Adelaides culture seems shocking.

    It sounds to me like some players over there have not bonded with trust,,, to the crows group.  And so when trying to bridge that gap in trust, it can go awry.

     

    Maybe EddieB doesn't trust anyone, readily???  and so may not buy-in, so well.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
