Nonsensical situation for a review on that one. Field umpire calls touched play on, then thats it. These idiots call play on any old time for no good reason to speed up the game then they turn around and review this incident Why ?? to waste 90 seconds of everyones lives? Then they wipe the ball and their hands after every goal ?? for god's sake just get on with the bloody game .... and umpires, no one cares which way you are going to ponce out backwards after a ball up so dont tell us. You keep out of the players way. You are the problem not the players !!!!! I feel better now, I'm going to have a Bex and a good lie down.

Cant agree with you on all those outs King. Give Garlett more time for the ankle to come good. ANB is unlucky but when you hit a winning formula, even against the Pies, dont tinker. All of Tyson, Lumumba Frost and Brayshaw had little off moments yesterday but not justification for dropping them out of the team. Van den beast has to come back via Casey after showing he's back to last years standard. Above all show faith in the youngsters who showed us so much yesterday, Harmes, Wagner and Hunt. Play them against the Tiges and allow them consecutive games to consolidate what they've done. I can see these kids forming the nucleus of what we hope will be a mighty team for years to come. Hunt amazed me yesterday. Maybe you can make a case to drop Frost but even he was a great contributor yesterday. That long bomb from CHF was poetry in motion.

Hogan winked at a team mate in the rooms at the end. HE IS STAYING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geez mate you are a little ray of sunshine. Elsewhere you say a Hogan is gone now this gem. Anything else to cheer us up??

Varcoe is a good player but he will be under done. Frost could be a good option for Sidebottom.

The problems Collingwood face this year stem from their senior players dropping off the pace and not providing the usual level of quality to support their younger players. If we can reduce the impact of Pendlebury, Cloke, Fasolo Varcoe, and players of that ilk, we go a long way to winning the game. Fast Ball movement into the forward line and strong pressure on their defenders is also crucial for us this Sunday. Come on boys Lets choke the life out of this mob !!!!!!!!!

Sorry Man dee Springvale south doubtless had a tad more culture than where I was from. ( East Bentleigh ) Though we liked it at the time.

Springvale south ???? I went there once. It's a cultural wasteland.

Is Monkhorst playing ??? He always tried to kill Jimmy outright.

When he went to Sydney, there was a bit of angst. Not sure what had happened but he was upset. I have been watching the show and I agree A F but he's just told the umpires to keep up the good work and the umps have been fantastic. How about noooooo Gerrard!

DC, you are good. I didn't predict that til the 26th minute mark of last quarter. When it was happening, I was weeping tears of joy into my cocoa.

Now that's prescient. Crystal balls they dont have !!!!!!

What is the name of "the bald headed maggot" ? There is a special place in Hell for oxygen thieves like this.

The players are mentally ready for Gods sake. I'm not mentally ready to see a new Melbourne player come in and dominate the opposition.

If Hogan leads and our mids think and act quick to get the ball out in front of him, then we'll see a big change in results. I'd like to see Hogan lead 30- 40 times a game. Easy for me to say it but he is fit enough to do it. It's his job isn't it ??

Let's go back to the Neeld system where we were guarding the space. We used to be the best team in the AFL for guarding the space. No one guarded it better. Exactly when did we drop off from this particular skill????

Two or three years ago there was a review of Melbourne after a dismal loss. Seven words was enough to explain everything. Seven simple little words that drove a dagger into my heart. I hated seeing that written about my club but it was spot on. So much time has passed but those words come back to haunt me again. " A soulless rabble, nothing more, nothing less."

Yes I remember it well. The umpires crucified us that day and I thought the downpour in the 3rd quarter would ruin the day. 1d halfpenny for a decent serve of chips. Those were the days !!!!!!!!!!

Sharpen the pencils and buy a second footy record folks. I'll go out on a limb and suggest 15. Quarter by quarter it will be 3,3, 3, 6.

Free beer at the Deer's Head tomorrow after the game.

It's a paradox. Without Sam Newman on the show it's unwatchable. With him there, it's unbearable. I will watch the footy show again, about a fortnight after hell freezes over. Good luck to the girl though. It can't be worse than it currently is.

Ingenio, I would give my left [censored] to be in Rome now. Lived there for 6 months a while ago. Yes, I'm also pumped we got Kennedy.

Mark McClure is a Huntingdale member. To see him holding court there surrounded by fawning acolytes is galling. Seriously he is a buffoon.

No, that's not enough. This flgg has ruined many a match in his brief and terrible career. Time to replace him with someone who is vaguely competent at least compared to him. Is that so hard????

That was Brent Wallace. Admittedly a relatively young umpire but as bad an umpire as is going around. If he umpires more than 50 games in his miserable career, it will be an indictment on the AFL and the umpiring department. No more senior games for this person. Let him officiate at a game between Tangambalanga and Corryong. That's where he belongs.
