  1. Geelongs leg speed slowness excaberated the success yesterday and looking at it even their supposed quicker players arent that quick compared to other teams including ours. Selwood and Dangerfield are slowing noticeably, Guthrie and Dahlhouse and others dont have explosive speed, hence the Hawks pace in the last quarter was telling in that their game plan was succesful. Hawks wont be able to do that against us.What will show Jeelong up in finals will be the ageing and slow legs again.
  2. Its not Cultural change, its Social engineering at its most dangerous. Taking the emotion out of the game hurts the fabric of the game. If thats what the AFL want I dont agree with the way the rule is now being interpreted. Punish umpire verbal abuse but never ever hands out.
  3. EXACTLY MY PIONT! PENALISING INSTINCTIVES IS LUDICROUS
  4. Agree Robbo right on the money.. IMO. This translates to.. AFL PLEASE PAY ATTENTION or risk losing both the fabric of the game and most importantly THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT IT
  5. I have full faith that if we played ourselves in a parellel universe, we would still Win!
  6. Tweety Bird has summed it up perfectly " Bad OLD puddy Tatts"

  11. Frost free was rubbish and the ensuing 50 was worse. Garbage
  12. Umpire: Thats a 100 metre penalty Demon Player: Why? Umpire: The fact you thought it a shizenhoisen decsion and then articulated it is clear dissent thats 50 and the other is clearly disrespecting my authority by asking the question. Thats another 50. Anything else? Demon player: Hnmm my ex partner had similar views to these, I cant win can I? Umpire: Nope.
  13. If a 50 costs us a Grand Final on an umpires interpretation of body language would it still be a good thing?
  14. Isn't part of the angst the fact that many umpires have no feel for the game probably coz many have not ever played themselves. This could be a reason why the second guess element of decision making leads to errors.Similarly the hands up display that has lead to fifties being paid, is frivolous, unwarranted and displays limited empathy for the players for exactly the same reason I thought Pettys spoil almost perfect and could, but wasn't to have been, play on.
  15. Kane Cornes bought it up today on the Sunday Footy show, and I would like to see a few more Media personalities bring it to attention ,account to the AFL for the Basket case rule interpretation, opinion, that obviously is judged differently depending on volition and feel for the game.
  16. The umpires would do well to totally ignore a arms and hands out in frustration and not pay a fifty m penalty. IMV. It may promote more tolerance and therefore respect. The fifty metre penalty against Clarry was a disgrace.
  17. Majak dominated the first quarter but hasnt been sighted in the second. Can a Casey watcher provide some info?
  18. Out... this ridiculous showing dissent 50 rule. What is this??? It is the stuff of fifties and sixties schoolyard discipline. A player not even on the mark throws his hands up in mild frustration and gets pinged for 50?? Come on. I understand and agree to have a verbal 50 rule, but this is an outrageous, overreaction. IMO the AFL need to get rid of this blight on the game. Are we trying to take the human element of frustration totally away? Its 1984 Orwellian Prophesy at its finest. What next? DREAM POLICE pinging blokes for facial expressions depicting dissent?? Get rid of it!
