Clintosaurus

If nothing else, Stuie is loving the club being potted everywhere in the media.

We don't have many supporters in the media, unlike Collingwood who are being pumped up as the best team ever.

They know what they are doing. Gil's orders.

There are times where advantage is called then the umps change their mind when something like yesterday happens, so Lewis would have gone back and taken his kick. Not this time!! Also noticed the 'play on' call about 2 seconds after a mark was taken still in vogue for us yesterday. AFL are looking like they are using the umpires to get desired ladder positions. NRL have been doing this for years.

Kade Simpson did not have a single disposal in his first three games. Wonder what Blues supporters were saying then?

Everything changed umpire wise once we got to 8-3. Collingwood continue to get kissed on the dick by the umps and they are 10-4. It's all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$.

Lazy or slow. Maybe both.

They are losers and low grade humans no matter the result.

We are too slow for the MCG. Everytime we lose there is due to the opposition spreading so much quicker and we cannot cover all the real estate.

Gil obviously don't want us in the 8.

[censored] off.

[censored] umpires. Just a joke. That's game over.

Too many slow movers.

Another [censored] weak free.

Umpires every [censored] week.

Surprised Bernie is back to Casey, despite the commentary that both him and Jordie could not be in the same team.

What a terrible article.

I had us ending up third at 15-7. Seventh was also 15-7. Our percentage if it holds up is almost worth an extra win.

So Petty sounds the most like Lever in how he plays, so should have us being most like the weeks where scores against were low? We did only concede 75 last week. Collingwood and Hawthorn are the only real shockers score against wise.

Which is why we are smashing rubbish teams. The ones with the skill to maintain possession can work through the press without turning it over.

It mainly happens when our anchor is not allowed to sit off the back. Collingwood did it pretty well. Our heavy scoring has masked it to an extent.

I think it works pretty well. Other than the Patriots getting the 50/50 calls go their way, the NFL is well officiated. Pass interference and defensive/offensive holding are probably the most subjective decisions, as most of the other fouls are either there or not (e.g. defensive offside, false start). It is like Rugby League in that the movement is not 360 degrees, plus all fouls except Defensive Pass Interference have set penalties, and the yard markers mean a 50 can't be 75 or 35 for example. Surely for 50 metre penalties the umpire awarding the 50 could stand at the place of the infringement and the umpire in the next zone moves to the mark with the help of a laser marker generated from the first umpires' GPS tracker.

Norf get the most unbelievable run from the maggots EVERY week. Ben Brown is the worst diver in the league but no media will ever mention it.

I wonder if the same 3 umpires working together every week, like the officiating crews in the NFL do, would improve consistency and decision making.

Pies have had the best run with the umps all season, and surprise, surprise they are now in the top 4. Same for North and they are in the 8. Watch out for Essendon to get a similar run with the maggots.
