Schuey pushes guy in back after ball goes out, he goes to ground. Gets up and bumps Scuey in back, he goes to ground. Free kick Schuey. What a joke... 

Ridiculous.  And not even the weak excuse that the ball was in play in one case and not the other case. But not unusual - umps hardly ever pay a free for a push in the back after the ball goes over the line, even though the player is pushed towards the fence.  You have to hit the fence hard to get a free.     AFL umpiring is a disgrace.

What a rubbish game, shocking. Apart from 1Q burst of goals it’s been awful

8g combined in last 3Q

Nothing going right for eagles. Saw about three gimme's in the goal square go comically wrong. A few injuries to key personnel can make any team look average

This game decided in First Quarter by the umpires, how strange, and by NOT paying free kicks to West Coast, who were incidentally playing drivel football.Never has a football code required an umpiring overhaul like ours. If we don't it is going to cause a riot soon.....

How on Earth did we beat Essendon? They're exactly the kind of fast-running team we'd lose by 60 to.

that's why we need speed.

Don't know if many have heard,,, speed kills.

Endurance is all good, but speed cracks things open.

Was only a matter of time before the Eagles bubble burst.    I have had them missing the finals in a few ladder predictor simulations.

Worst 10-1 team of all time.

Some similarities. West Coast have had a ridiculously easy draw, the umpiring over here in favour of them is crazy as well.

Worst umpiring I have seen in a long time. Needs to be looked into. 

If you believe a Gil run body will look into integrity you must believe in Mr Claus and that rabbit who is featured around Easter time. 

On the other hand if it somehow effects their coffers as a result of the game becoming less attractive to watch then he will be into it.

Certain Clubs are allowed to do things, by Umpires, that others are not.

What i've noticed in the last two weeks are mainly centred around playing on, time allowed on marks,cribbing on marks, tonight in particular it was high tackles not paid to WC, especially in first quarter, along with shepherding favouring only one side.........

Which was more than made up for by the umpires giving them a free ride and doing everything they could to get West Coast the win.

Pretenders.

Essendon start on their AFL endorsed run to the finals.

Everyone knew before the game that Kennedy and Darling were out yet they still tipped them. West Coast, like Melbourne continue to get ahead of themselves. Richmond and the Bulldogs in their respective years won the flag without having the best list of that season. Mindset is so important yet it seems many struggle with the concept.

Its great when we have blokes like Bellchambers hitting blokes like Nik Nat thirty metres off the play and getting fined two thousand slap on the wrist. Reminded me a lot of Hogan incident, but then they wanted to make him to look like a stager, didn't they. Apparently only one shot suitable enough for TV, probably just a rabbit cut.....

You could make a reasonable case that Gold Coast are the most insipid professional sports team in Australia. They may as well rename themselves BYE.

Jeremy Cameron is gonna go for at least  4-6 weeks for a shocking elbow on Brisbane’s Harris Andrews. One of the worst I’ve ever seen.

They're not serious. Should go for 6 minimum and his record is very poor. But, you know, GWS is still that project that must succeed. Bring in some bullshite biomechanic and Harris Andrews may find that he's suspended for headbutting Cameron's elbow.

I have no faith in the impartiality of the competition.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
