  1. Billings, Macadam or both?
  2. Geez we've pulled some soft frees too
  3. Hand it gently to your team mate.
  4. Schofield and Pav. What a class act. May as well just stick a mike in the eagles cheer squad

    Credit to the Suns, they ran it out pretty well. I've NEVER wanted to stay up to listen to an opposition coaches press conference before. But I might have another beer and hang in there.

    Can we please play another quarter.

    That was a great shot of the Geelong cheer squad then. He was on his 15th Canadian club and was looking like he couldn't find his way to the loo.

    I'm finding it very therapeutic.

    They all look very sweaty and fatigued right now. As does the coach

    He may self combust

    I thought they may have had to check people's phones behind the goal then for that review. Just awesome

    This is so good. Missed the first half playing trivia at the local brewery and winning an ice cold slab of beer. Cracking a couple of cans now withy wonderful wife and having a quiet chuckle. Gimme more coach box vision!

    Maybe they didn't like the font on his 45 slide PowerPoint presentation on where they screwed up.

    Must have been a fantastic lecture by Scott during the week. Seems to be making a really good impression. His jocks must be riding right up his clacker.

    "We take the opportunity to educate our clubs and in turn be educated." I'm sure the AFL were well and truly educated by that whining pratt. I pity gold coast who are playing the cats this weekend.
  17. Exactly If Kossie can kick his own ball forward to a pack and then crumb his own kick to kick a brilliant goal on the run, why can't Max? A couple of sprint sessions this week to get him running faster than Mach Pickett and some 50km endurance sessions in the afternoon. He'll be cherry ripe come Sunday. Or maybe send him off on a run this arvo across the Nullarbor to Perth. Harden him up a bit more. That way he'll avoid the physical degradation of those horrendous 4 hour flights. Love you Maxy 😜 Go Dees
  18. Didn't Rivers have to come off with the blood rule after being belted by Curnow? They stopped play. Then the ball was thrown up and a free given against Max yeah? As for the rules committee. The only problem with them at the time was that to feel like they were doing their job, they kept changing rules. They introduced some stupid ones. The MFC does not make enough noise with these poor umpiring performances. We're way too polite.
  19. The hands in the back is ok to hold your ground / push in the back not paid issue really gets to me. Some players are being shoved in the back and sent head first into a pack off balance. Someone is going to get badly hurt. I'd also add. Tacklers (usually multiple) dragging the ball back under a player who possessed it but has gone to ground and has tried to knock it clear along the ground. If the tacklers are dragging it back under the player on the ground, they're really HTB and should be penalised. Also Ruck nominations. Just get rid of them. Only one player from each team can jump for a ball. Just throw it up. This waiting for a ruckman to catch up from 20 metres away is just plain dumb.

    I would, I don't even take em off when I have a smoke in the tub
  21. You could flip it and say as we started playing better footy, we got more frees. Apart from the inconsistency in adjudication, the thing that gets me is where the kicks are paid. Without going back and watching it, I'm pretty sure they got two pretty soft ones in front of goal in the first quarter which resulted in goals. Even if they could be more consistent I'd be happy. It's just like the MRO decisions we see week in, week out. The inconsistency leaves it all open to doubt. Turn it into a proper career path, pay them properly and drop them for poor performances. Definitely interested in that statistical analysis. Just need to look at it all on a bigger screen.
  22. You're kidding. That was the reason for the charge being dropped to a fine?
  23. Brownie replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    And if they do, the umps will get em home
  24. One of the blues defenders just walked it over the goal line at one stage too. Three Carlton players there and no Dee's within 10 metres.
  25. Is anyone on here going to say the AFL doesn't have bias towards the blues and pies. Infuriating double standards.
