And I agree with condemned, in that the Richmond-St Kilda game was a great example of how this game should be taken care of.

Well said davey_magik..... And while the umpires didn't really help our situation, they certainly didn't cost us the game. We managed that all by ourselves :angry: !!!

Congrats and thanks Mick...... That is a truly wonderful effort, we should be proud !!!

Hee :D ....... I'm always appreciative of a good giggle, thanks!!!

Urrgh :angry: ...... Well, at least it should give a few players a chance to make their case in the next few weeks.

Ahh, of course it's the boobs that make them do wrong :D !!!

Of course the umpires didn't cost us the game occo, but they certainly didn't help either.......

Pardon my naivety, but tripping is illegal right? So how does the tribunal come into this? If it does at all......

No, he is not second rate but he is getting older and whether we like it or not this affects the way he can play the game. He was great last week and not so good last night, that is an unfortunate reality. And I agree with Jaded, I would love to see what Neaves can do at AFL level (or at least give him a taste of it) if he can now be elevated. Our ruck stocks relatively poor, and as I said White is not getting any younger, and we may need to see if the kid can play.

My dad also wants me to put his vote in for the "No to Connolly" petition.......

Thanks Saints4Ever !!!

Amen to that Jaded..... But it should be kept in mind that reputations are lost and can be traded away fairly quickly. Especially in today's day and age of constant media surveillance where they have a tendency to turn something completely innocent into a perceived criminal act. Of course we may have to exclude Alan Didak in this case !!! And I am failing to see any connection between Didak and Sylvia, other than they went to the same place on separate occasions..... is that the extent of it?

A pretty good (if not complete) summation of the situation...... Daniher 'let down' by Dees

There seems to be a grwoing swell of criticism for the way Collingwood have handled this situation...... Collingwood farce all about winning Collingwood 'a laughing stock' Shame on Magpies and AFL All basically say that the Pies have handled this situation unbelievably poorly, but my personal favourite is Tony Shaw having a [censored] !!!

I thought he was competent without being spectacular, but it was great to see a future forward being given the run. And I was really impressed with, as others have said, his team orientated things. This is something I believe has been missing this season and it was good to see a rookie show how important it can be. Watching him develop in the coming weeks should be a joy to watch......hopefully !!!

I have a really hard time singling out a single mistake, by a single player as the whole reason we lost the game...... Was it a poor thing to do? Yes. And a bad time to do it? Absolutely. But as plenty of folk in here have said before me there were plenty of things that we did (missed shots on goal, McLean in the square, dropped marks) and were done to us (the trip and the multiple pushes in the back of our defenders) in that last quarter that more than helped contribute to the loss. And that is not taking into account the appalling first quarter, which couldn't have helped matters.

Anywhere but here !!!

Well thank goodness he has been selected for tonight's game...... Hopefully this will now dull the machiavellian hysteria that has been growing around here. And then we can all breath again :D !!!

If only they were all that easy to achieve !!!

No, the AFL is free on Foxtel tonight into the Northern states but it is being broadcast on a norally pay-per-view channel.

It always is repeated (at the same time we get the free to air broadcast), but the Friday night game is broadcast live on Mainevent (518)

Well it is free to us in Sydney on that channel, and I assume you guys up north get the same brilliant coverage we get....... That is about midnight on Channel 7 !!!

Usually yes, but not for the AFL into the northern states on a Friday night.

It is on channel 518 (Mainevent) on Foxtel at 7.30pm

Hope not !!!
