Umpires need another month to get some competence.

Are there premiership points today? If not, there is not too much to worry about, excluding injuries and maybe May.

Lewis has been good today.

Umps not giving us much

I don't think so. Legalisation would be the end of testing but is years away as neither major party has the stones to do it. In the meantime testing others besides players would expose HQ, journos as the hypocrites they are. I also think pollies should be drug and alcohol tested.

Only difference between NRL and AFL is the AFL are much better at brand protection, also Sydney journos are not afraid to muckrake NRL players and clubs. AFL seems to be able to stop this from happening most of the time. Cannabis, coke, heroin and ecstasy should be legalised. Not sure about speed and no to meth. That said, OxyContin is a bigger problem than all of those, and most of those preaching zero tolerance in society are probably prescription pill poppers. I agree with Dane Swan too on testing everyone in the AFL industry, not just players.

Not sure Macca. Definite step up from Bort but probably means no Haskins in this year's draft.

Not sure how anyone is bothered by this. Only thing to be concerned about is Jeffy. Richmond are the arsiest team in history, using a low skill game plan.

Richmond love fest on Fox

Adelaide well in front.

Tuggers celebrating goals like they matter.

Seen enough to know 666 rule will see us kick quote a few cricket scores this year.

Umpires keeping the Giants in this. Last goal was not a mark. 2 players got the first touch.

More scripted than WWE. Might back Essendon for the blokes flag.

And we got a free.

Great goal!!

More BS umpiring.

It's the not paying frees that are there. A North goal resulted almost directly from Cat Phillips being held but not paid the free.

This umpiring.

Getting dominated now. By the Roos and the umps. So many soft frees going their way and ones missed we should be getting.

Think i read there is a live stream?

Yep. Every other club was furious about how Norf went about recruiting. Says it all really.

Why does every training thread end up in a shitfight? Surely everyone is happy to find out what is happening at training without resorting to that rubbish? Personally I think every snippet is great.

Thought Cat Phillips was good today, particularly defensively. Best for mine were Pearce, O'Dea, Cunningham, Hanks, Downie, Mithen, Paxman and Cordner.

No Bud?
