    12 finals but no GF in 376 games indicates the AFL might not have wanted him around much at the business end of seasons

    "... he will be retiring following this Sunday’s Round 22 match between Fremantle and the West Coast Eagles to be played at Optus Stadium in Perth"

    Words that must strike terror into the collective heart of the Freo footy club.

    How he was able to Umpire his favourite team on so many occassions is an indictment on the AFL.

    Shocking.

    Maybe the AFL asked him what his dream last game to umpire might be and temporarily forgot there might be an issue. 

    I reckon he might just blow the pea right out of the whistle this weekend.

    When's Nichols retiring?

    Hasn't been announced yet, so not soon enough.

    Total muppet and provided a shocking umpiring combo against us yet again.

    I admit though he is now more likeable after drawing all the WC fan hate. Like I detest cockroaches but the sad song La Cucaracha makes them kind of likeable for a few minutes.

    Margetts was one of the 2015 prelim final umpires where WC beat North. WC 24 frees and North 18. Josh Kennedy got 6 free kicks. I wonder who paid them?

    I wish Nicholls would pack it in.

    Ist qrt five frees to wc ...one to us.

    Second...four frees to wc ...one to us including a howler against rivers for pushing out darling in front of goal....rivers pinkie may have touched him. And a strange insufficient intent.

    Second half he wasn't so bad (maybe looked at his stats at halftime)with only a couple more frees to wc but they were pretty much accurate.

    His first half was poor....missing a couple of in the backs and htm to us and not paying marks.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
