Its offical.

Umpires do not pay holding the ball, or throwing the bal.  So many ball upps as a result.

After Jesse's mark fiasco I have swithed off the game.  

Unless Dees play umps/AFL Footy Ops dept. have stolen my enjoyment

Much prefer watching VFL (Casey) now D17.  The umpiring there is at least a pass mark most weeks and i don't have to put up with "enter the sandman" pre match type rubbish plus the gound MC voice blaring in my ears at every single break.

Its old school footy and just pure footy watching the boys develop and hone their skills / craft plus see how some of the seniors are doing post injury / recovery.

It's also an easy get in terms of parking and price (or no cost using the membership) as the case may be.  The food is basic but reasonably priced or you can just take your own stuff with you.

Most games are also during the day, making the standard fairly reasonable without the greasy / slippery ball stuff that you get at night time matches.  Of which we seem to play alot of!

Add to that the ever increasing cost, no cash accepted nonsense, AFL fixture / start up club bias, the constant "it's this week or that week build ups" and it all adds up to a big turn off for me now.

The AFL is sucking the life and enjoyment out of the big stage stuff now.

Riccardi a stellar game so far.

That goal in the 3rd was very special.

Something you don't see alot of from the big fellas much nowadays.

Ned Guy on Gettable this week said they’re looking at bringing the NGA threshold back down again from 41. 

Thought it was changed tp 20 at the time of the Mac Andrew AFL fix?

Did they as change it back again after 2018 or so?

Watching Peatley tonight, really hoping we'll see Kolt get another shot at it soon.

Reckon he'll bring a similar exuberation, desperation and run to this group if he gets the chance.

That second quarter was great. Alas, it’s all Geelong since then. Was looking forward to seeing Scott’s sourpuss mug.

Geelong supporters are unbelievable. Deathly quiet when their players need to hear them most, only find their voices when their players least need to hear them.

How good is it having two cats supporters commentating. Please please win Giants. 

The barracking for Geelong is nauseating. Not as overt as some commentators (BT) but just as unprofessional.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
