You were lucky! We used to dream of having a lime green BMX with cartoon animal decals. Luxury.

MFC has created generational negative supporters
For mine this was the one thing that Roosy got wrong in his time, and it was very wrong. Suggesting there was a 'veil of negativity' over the club's supporters. One only need look at the clubs last 50 years, and I'm pretty sure you'd find a 'veil of failure'. I think that was a massive lack of respect to the clubs heart and soul, and is probably the reason why we missed finals last year and are on shaky ground again this season. Show us and the jumper some respect and get it done.

Is it any coincidence that Stuie Dew's initials, SD, could also be used for Salad Dodger?

What's the story with Sexton? Kicks goals in a poor team, can play in the guts, he's got something.

Umpiring v West Coast in Perth
I should add, that after the Bombers saga, I'd put nothing beyond the AFL.

Umpiring v West Coast in Perth
Agreed, however where is the line drawn on what the video umpire can advise on? I've seen no guidelines. All I'm saying is a faint line can be drawn between the 3 scenarios ('the voice', late calls, mind change), there's obviously no way anyone would be able too prove this unless the AFL came out and said it. If it were true, what's the chances of that getting out???

Umpiring v West Coast in Perth
It's something that's very hard to identify, however there's definitely been an increase in slow/late calls this year, which could be an indicator of this happening. The thing that brought this to my attention was in a particular Dees game, and I can't recall which game it was sorry, on 3 separate occasions when a player was lining up at goals, an unknown voice could be heard over the referees intercom (I'll call it) say '15 seconds', at which point the umpire would notify the kicker of '15 seconds gone'. It was clearly not someone on the ground, and it had a distinct NRL bunker sound to it. I've not heard it in any game since, so I'm assuming this person had hit the wrong button sending the communication public when it should only have been for the umpires earpiece. I'd love to go back to that game and listen to the voice and also if there were any goal reviews. I'd guarantee it's the same voice, meaning that video umpire is giving directions to the on-field umpires.

Umpiring v West Coast in Perth
Because he's doing exactly what the AFL want, he's following orders. The umpires are receiving instructions over their headsets, hence the increasing number of slow/late calls. There was 1 instance last week with Nicholls, where Clarry was tackled and Nicholls called play on and waved his arms after the ball came free. A second later, and nothing had changed, he blows the whistle and calls holding the ball. What changed? Somebody else made that call.

I'd take that, can't see it being that even.

Has Nicholls ever paid us a free?
Do you have data on that GOTO or just your observations?

Round 21 Non MFC Games
2nd is still open if we win all 3. It means we beat WCE, and I'd back the Lions to beat them in Bris.
