The very, very contentious 50 for Dissent Rule
Arenât they all âto be interpretedâ? And, again, appealing is different because they are asking the question, not belittling the decision. If an umpire pays a free AND a 50 for appealing then I have little doubt it will be pointed out constantly and clarified for your benefit.

Thatâs not what I have read/heard. Appealing is different to remonstrating, and remonstrating is demonstrating dissent. Umpiring is in an awful state up and down the leagues and something had to be done.

I have had coaches say (and have said myself) - âjust donât say anything to the umpiresâ for yeeaaarrrrrssss⊠But of course the next thing said was âunless you are standing around, then you can quietly whinge like a [censored] in their direction - now get out there and get the footy!!â

How do you âAPPEAL for a free AFTER the decisionâ? Its just whining to the umpire and if it universally applied then it makes it easier to officiate. If you GESTICULATE, the umpire wonât EQUIVOCATE.

Mark Robinson is confused and steadfastly against this rule interpretation. That should be enough for all of us to reflect and see the benefits of the new interpretation and itâs necessity for the gameâs future. Just donât tell the umpire to look at the screen and whine like a little [censored] when you give away a free.

CHANGES: Rd 06 vs Richmond
I just find this a naive stance. 6 games ago he won a flag as an effective FF. You bring back your best players as son as you can. Are we a ruthless club or do we gift games and âshareâ positions?

Low Attendance
Iâm not really following that equation. We had 58k for the Dogs & flag unveiling and low 40s for the Bombers. Those are not good. Theyâre not pathetic so no thread. Generational team + pathetic crowd - meek excuses = âCrying Foul threadâ I really think that sums it up.

What They Are Saying at Punt Road
- CHANGES: Rd 06 vs Richmond
Tomlinson performed fine, but he is not Petty. Petty is a superior PREMIERSHIP player. Much like Brown is over Weideman. Brown is the MFC FF in 2022 and he comes back in to replace an inferior player.- Low Attendance
Im not saying people donât care about the team - I am implying that Dees fans have a generational team to follow and they are not there to follow them and it is bordering on embarrassing. An illness neutered through vaccine, a mandate to go to a ticketing website or use an app on your phone, a desire to watch on TV - itâs all a bit pathetic.- CHANGES: Rd 06 vs Richmond
I rate him as capable of kicking three in a GF when itâs an actual game. And reality rates him that way too. And get ready to hand over your keys. Perhaps Demonland should get your house? Imagine the servers this thing could run on with $200k? $300k? What are we looking at here?- Low Attendance
Genuinely curious about the low attendance we are seeing atm. Give the reasons you have heard and/or given.- POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs GWS
Yes, itâs a part of the reason Tmac will remain when Brown comes back next week.- Training Ground?
Schalke is the one I know about. Impressive.- TEAMS: Rd 05 vs GWS
My point is that the FD rate Smith, or have in the very recent past, so looking down your nose at posters is misguided. Look down at the FD. They are the ones with NFIâŠapparently.- Jordan Lewis - a retrospective
I think you can still dislike Scott. I believe in you.- Farewell Luke Jackson
- TEAMS: Rd 05 vs GWS
Poor Tomlinson couldnât get the game against his old mob. Petty is such an important player for us - the Gorilla tamer to aide May.- TEAMS: Rd 05 vs GWS
Forget the fans, the FD brought him in for a QF. So go have a go at Richo and co.- Membership Tally 2022
Thatâs a bold number. Youâre getting sick of these?- POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Yeah, thatâs the âsound the alarmâ vids on the AFL website of snippets of all 4 qtr. we allowed a lot, the Dogs not so muchâŠ- Farewell Luke Jackson
Thatâs what people said before the last one and yet plenty of people signed up before it was finalised. And also we recently signed Petracca until 2029 - the best player in the league - so I donât see a finalised CBA as a large dependency.- Membership Tally 2022
Seems to be getting smaller.- CHANGES: Rd 05 vs GWS
Oh, and we shouldnât be throwing the magnets around - we should be rewarding players that have trained positions and have an understanding that the reward is an opportunity in those positions. After that fails then you can throw magnets.- CHANGES: Rd 05 vs GWS
GWS have the ruck, Riccardi, Himmelberg and Hogan. I can see them having May, Tomlinson and Smith for those three and Lever on the resting mid or coniglio to free him up. Might be Hunt out⊠- CHANGES: Rd 06 vs Richmond
