I know the side’s form is currently in a downturn, but does the collective intelligence of Demonland have to plummet with it? 

'Collective Intelligence': surely an oxymoron in this case...

Essendon on ANZAC Day 1992? One of my earliest football memories. We kicked the first of the last. Essendon just went BANG BANG BANG x3 and won. 

It was my birthday: I was a part-time taxi driver sitting on the Park Street Rank listening in the state of what the Greeks call 'unbilievit'....

So he’s gifted games cause he’s won B &F , Cleary not fit enough & out of form .. he’s no different to any other player.

He was also completely tagged by the same dude who didn't give Daicos a sniff until Clarkson removed him. The sudden Oliver tirades are hard to swallow.  

We should also mention that North played some bloody good footy...They look to have improved as the year has progressed. They'll be a good side next year...

What ever Oliver issues were or still are which forced him to miss preseason, why was he not made to play @ Casey to build he’s fitness & form, in particular from a culture point of view

It would be like playing Barassi in the Reserves...

Did anyone else note the big smile on Adem Yze's face when his mate Brownie's son laid that tackle? I've never seen that before, an opposition coach barracking for a team at another game. Then again, he was one of our great players...

We now have the media's next clickbait story to replace the Dees as next weeks topic.

The demise of Geelong is now official and is this a result of poor culture?

Unless there's another umpiring howler of course, like Camerons goal last night at half time

I was about to start a post about why the media only focuses on Melbourne: surely the problems at Catland deserve more attention.

I hate Geelong possibly more than I hate Carlton and the E. coli Wobblers - each protected AFL species - but there's a tiny voice lurking in my diaphragm that says, Wouldn't it be nice if Geelong won by a point after the siren...After yet another bull****e free kick...

Just tuned in to AFL News and saw the clip where the Carlton De Koenig gives away two free kicks against his brother, neither paid, and De Koenig of Carlton is designated as 'The winner'. I am so fast losing faith in this game called AFL...

The rule changes for this year’s draft are a huge mistake. The Father/Son rule should be left alone. The rules and interpretations of those rules are in complete disarray. I’m sure Laura Kane is a decent human, but she’s out of her depth. 

And she has a Scott for a mentor...

Just came across this: 10 dodgy decisions this year, apart from the 3 in the E Coli Wobbler :

The Umpires are already scrutinised after every game by their own department, and we have the current mess. 
The amount of Cameras on the games will increase each year, the quality of those cameras will also improve. 
the only way to make umpiring better at the Top Level is to pay the Umpires a high wage and make them accountable to the public after each game, otherwise the current situation will just keep frustrating everybody. 
What happened to The Croms last Season should have been the line in the sand moment. 
They were denied a Finals Berth 

I'm not being facetious: is Croms GWS or the Crows??

Listen we are discussing it if you don't like it move on little boy

Going round in circles is not discussion: some people define it as being pig headed.

A pity this discussion has been hijacked by a certain 'numbered demon'. It's like being on a merry-go-round. Maybe he/she has a Messiah Complex - i.e. the only person who knows it all.

And had opportunities to increase or contain the lead, but it's not going to change unless you change the game itself. 

Yawn: you are so boringly predictable. If I was the only one in Oz land complaining about how comes it that that the game is being marred by way too many umpiring howlers then you might have a case. You are Robinson Cruso on an island infested by incompetent men and women in white whose main weapon is a whistle and a tongue which orders, Desist!

There will never be a perfect game of umpiring that's just a fact it called a game with various rules and interpretations if a side is up that far they should not lose the game but people want someone to blame, so do you want video replay every decision,  because every decision even by that will be disputed by the media and supporters and then you are back to square one.

I got it: your mother is an AFL umpire????

Time for the AFL to limit interchange to 32-40 a game and that will slow the game down and when fatigue sets in it won't be as quick and easier to umpire.

Maybe we need 6 umpires...

So north being 50 points up and lost a game so that's the umpires fault is it, north are a young side xnd ran out of legs.

That is NOT the issue: they are the bottom side, playing a flag favorite who faltered and then got done by 2 Umpiring decisions....

That's your opinion and that's ok I don't agree, it's umpire complaint you can read it on game day threads here 2 minutes in and it's the umpires fault, at the end of the day it's swings and roundabouts. 

Swings are unfortunately one way these days....

Do you watch the game today it's nearly 36 players in one half of the ground it's congested.

You imply that is the case for the whole of each game. It just ain't so...

Of course media Muppets moan because they want ratings and sales mistakes are always going to be made big deal players lose more games than umpires,  don't listen to Cornes he is just a gutter opinion person, all this bagging will end up with kids not taking it up as it does filter down below.

What they are bagging is too blatant to ignore - unless you follow the team which benefits the most from these blatant shall we call them 'mistakes'?

So what solutions do you have then, umpires can only pay what the see most times when 20 players are around the ball, do you propose we stop the game and go to the video on every decision?

Um, 20 players around the ball? What game are you referring to???
