Gee we just cannot play the MCG very well can we??? ?

Geelong can’t buy a free kick. 4 blatant frees not paid. Umps must want dons to win. The cheats look switched on

I reckon the crowd in Shanghai will be bigger than Trump's inauguration! it'll be HUUUUUUGGGEEE!

sounds like he is little chance to come in this week. He'll be pumped to play in NT so hope he plays well for casey

Any reason to assume he would not join Hawks or Cats like usual? the Cats may not have that much cap space but I'd imagine he would go there for less if needed

Cant think of many if any A graders that have gone to bottom of the table teams. although they get more money when they leave they always go to a team with at least decent change of a flag in the next few years

Main reasons that Oliver is better: he has a burst from the pack (that will get better and he will use more) He is a longer, better kick he is a better handballer he plays for Melbourne

Time for the Bull??

That for real Chelly? Kent another 4 weeks??

Who is going to challenge this Appeal!? fk it, lets get ASADA involved. they should clean this mess up ?

perfect way to ease him in: Casey last week Carlton this Sunday Proper AFL team the week after :-)

MRO --> Tribunal --> AFL appeal feels a bit like the AFL appealing against themselves. lets face it, they control the other two unofficially. what a farce! you would have to assume one of them at least will be overturned, otherwise what the point!?

I respect your opinion rjay. just don't agree with it. the umpires in these cases had the opportunity to speak if they felt there was any issue at all. one said they couldn't remember it and the other said they weren't bothered by it (more memory), you would think they would consider the lower level comps when making these remarks. or if they felt Ed was being arrogant or demostrotive they could mention this also.

Thanks for the warning

Good decisions. Incidental, non threatening contact should not result in players missing weeks.

DRawing a connection between incidental, almost friendly contact and assault is far from common sense

Crazy how different I feel from losing to Hawks/Tigers than to beating Dons/Suns. I too share the feeling that we are building something, even without seeing the proof of us beating good teams. One of the biggest things in out favour is so many other teams have significant injuries (Crows, Pies, GWS, swans, dogs, etc). With Viney back if we have a good run of injuries, I think we will play finals for sure. Especially for a youngish team, having your full list is massive for team cohesion, confidence etc. I mean how many games have our core young guns even played together??? Clarry, Gus, Salem, Hogan, Trac. Not many!! Beat the crows and the Dogs and I will be UP AND ABOUT!!!

I get this argument but I just don’t agree. The respect for umpires in Afl is low from players and fans alike. Ordering them to not touch does not promote respect. JUst use some common sense rather than ‘you just can’t do it’. Making the umps professional, getting former players involved and promoting the important and difficult job umpires have is the best way to increase the respect level all the way to grass roots

Footy is becoming a joke if these two get suspended - along with the Hawkins one. No malice or aggression in either one. You don’t gain respect by ruling with an iron fist. Look at rugby and soccer where the players have a lot more respect for umpires. They can touch a guy on the arm, no big deal. Afl treating the players like school kids as usual

The 90ml sample that couldn’t be used just went on eBay. Some guy called ‘Dub’ just bid $200

I’ve heard that Jeff has a bit to do to regain favour with the coach. Will take a good game or two at casey

To those who want ABN out. Which hard running HF That follows team rules should we bring in? i admit his output has been poor but we lack depth in this area

ive read this twice and have no idea what your point is he rated us as top 8 and now changed his mind based on our performances? and he should not have?

I'm confused by this (admittedly it doesn't take much). I would have thought that a smaller ground you would need better kicking skills as there is less space?? Teams that play MCG well are more mature, better runners to cover the ground?
