The AFL, like most Western Countries, lives in Fantasyland. They hate confronting THE REAL, which Iggy Popp sang about: ya gotta deal with the real.

Dillon, the AFL CEO, today announced to the sheep that the standard of Umpiring has never been higher, that the reason for the 'inconsistencies' is because 'Competition among clubs is tighter.' He sounds like a cross between Biden and Trump, if you can imagine anything more insane.

But, hey, we're not corrupt: we just like to protect Maynard no matter what he does.

Yep: I meant to quote another rule: sorry bout that!

Really? I thought we were simply pointing out the blatantly obvious inconsistencies. This has nothing to do with Clarrie, I would have thought.

What? Are you off your rocker: these 'taps' happen a hundred times a game. Then again, if you're an E Coli Wobbler, it's different: Maynard dishes these shoves and pushes a hundred times a game. So you're saying holding his head and lower stomach was the result of a vicious Suns attack on his upper chest? Give me a brake!!!!!!! ( Sic )

In other words, the free kick against Neale-Bullen was total bullpoo, and against the laws of the game. Funny how I have not heard one media commentator mention this, probably because not many of them know the rules anyhow.

Not to mention Trump's Fantasy world... (In short, what does it tell ya about the USA?)

Just watched the last 2 minutes of the Freo/Sydney game. 30 or so seconds to go, Banfield walks the ball across the line - play on...What Neale-Bullen did was in no way different. So, okay, we have a rule about that: my question is why does one umpire pay it and another looks the other way? Then I saw the so-called Maynard incident: a tap on the chest - the poor bastard is mortally wounded, get the stretchers - hang on, No, I'll take the Free, thanks Ump.

The knock on Lever with 100 seconds to go was not in a congested area: a player jumped into his back: 'Play-on' was the call...Neither was Rivers mark with 30 seconds to go when a B player jumped into him late...

And when we did make a mistake, we were held accountable.

This sounds like a version of the Oedipus Complex. Cap Locks and Dads is a long bow, surely...

Never!!! Umpiring is not 'work', just for the record - they are not Professional.

I haven't been well, went to bed at 8.30, looked at the quarter time score, and shook my head. My wife woke me up at 10.25 or so, we were 6 points down. We all know the story now... I have only watched the last two minutes. The first thing I saw was a Brisbane player jump into Lever's back near the wing - no free kick. Next, May knocks the ball towards the boundary - allowable under the rules, cos it's not deliberate, see - Neale Bullen picks it up two feet from the boundary, is surrounded by three Brisbane players, moves towards the boundary - where else could he go, Daniher had him covered? - and the ball is actually over the line when he falls. Free kick to Bris Bane, naturally... In the last minute, Viney passes to Rivers who marks and is hit after he marks. The commentator asks the rhetorical question: Was that a high hit? Of course not...

Scotty's Bro, from the Bombers, ex AFL Official, has no problem with Mister Dangerf. escaping suspension. Sure, let's focus on May's Academy nomination, and accept that if Geelong, Carlton, or Collingwood player commits a crime, why, ipso facto, they must be innocent. Read this in relation to my post about the Real state of the Game...

Where have you bin, Obama, missed you...

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

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'....

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...

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...

Is 'anatomy something to do wid bombs?? As in atomic????
