Money up, please!
Unfortunately, the Umps are so sensitive to the head/concussion issue that they are being manipulated by players to blow the whistle when they see a head 'jerk'! Its the new 'slip the tackle up to the neck by raising the arm', but, hey, there are four Umps now so everything will be alright!
Free kick Bulldogs!
😄 I Think, apart from being our first premiership coach in over 50 years, he was a bees' penis away from holding the longest consecutive run in the top four.
Time to sack the coach... Drop the Captain... Tank... Remove the forward coach... Burn your membership!
Correct!
Hopelessly negative! I only read it to see how far you are from reality. This one takes the cake! Those that think BBB is a certainty may not have watched Casey. JVR may miss due to collision, not poor form! He makes contests and hits the pack hard.
I was at Metricon for GC's win over Geelong earlier this year. I also was there for our previous game against the Suns. This game panned out as I expected; a four quarter slog! DL's who thought it would be a cakewalk were not reading the room. I was also livid at how Rivers coughed up their last goal, but he fought tooth and nail to make up for it by the final siren. We got away with some borderline decisions in those final minutes, but after an evening of non-decision in GC's favour, I take that as overdue! Congratulations to Viney, Max, Petracca and Olie for showing the way when we were staring down the barrel.
I was ferocious about several umpiring decisions at the ground on Anzac Eve. After watching the replay, I have to concede that the blocking for Fritta's high mark was there. The free against May for rough contact on the members wing was there. However, the non 50 to ANB for being bear-hugged to the ground seconds after marking was an umpiring screamer, as was the non-free for a push-out in a marking contest to Grundy at the Punt Road end. I could go on to mention at least three blatant incorrect Richmond disposals that the umps turned a blind eye to etc. etc. The lesson for me is that my own red & blue glasses cause some irrationality where umpiring is concerned, however, we are correct to suggest the standard of umpiring in our game sucked!
The alarm bells were ringing in the first few minutes… Clayton decided to allow his opponent to continue owning him as he had in the finals. Trac had decided the anxiety fumbles, which usually occur for 20 seconds here and there, would have a sustained presence! I could continue… McDonald more interested in getting through the game than providing any big man influence, Petty overawed by having to be May, Kossie pressure on the ball carrier painfully absent!
In the break, time to rate… General anxious, fumbling scramble by MFC. Major disappointments… Brayshaw and Viney kicking turnovers Petty stuff ups having Grundy on bench when Gawn was off having Petracca and Oliver on the bench together when we were being pumped Petracca fumbles McDonald not being able to fill second ruck duties
McVee is progressing well. Those who have attended pre-season would be aware that he is highly regarded and is doing well as a defender in match sim... more likely to get an extension than be delisted.
