  1. Correct. And sometimes he shrugs it out. Never penalised. IMO the umpires appear intent on punishing North for being rubbish by rewarding Carlton every half-free kick they can find.
  2. Toby Pink giving us a clear demonstration of the yawning gap between the SANFL and the AFL. He'll need a month of counselling if he stays on McKay all day.
  3. I had never rated Hipwood and then he went and had a breakout 10 minute spell against us that yielded four goals and turned the game. Ever since I have waited for a repeat performance but the best I have seen from him is a couple of "useful" games. Last night Eric was his typically useless self. Daniher almost as bad. The umpiring was however, worse than both of them. It was impossible to reconcile the decisions applied to both teams. Hopefully there is a backlash but it's unlikely because the post game talk the afl wants is the magpies are back.
  4. HTB decisions disgraceful. Magpies umpired in to this. Terrible performance from the maggots.
  5. So much hatred for Collingwood in our joint tonight. And Maynard...let's hope what goes around, comes around. Lachie Neale looking superhuman.
  6. How is Norm Smith not on this "all time goal kicking ladder"?
  7. Well, no, they weren't that bad. No coward punches behind play to unsuspecting victims. But there was plenty of deliberate physical targeting which the umpires ignored. The one which annoyed me most was one of the brown and yellows cannoning into Max after he had marked in the last quarter. It was clearly late and the Hawk was clearly in it to hurt. This sort of stuff will continue until the umpires impose a 50 metre penalty. Max clearly expected to be given the 50 which would have put him within scoring distance but the ump was too naive, or stupid, or uncaring to impose it. The same goes with the regular in game targeting of Max. Notably Max was given a 50 metre penalty last week against the Dog which resulted in a goal. Until they umpire smarter this sniping will continue. Meanwhile, beating the Hawks never gets old but I was impressed by how much noise their supporters made considering they were never in it. Welcome back Petty - such a smooth operator both ends - and welcome back Fritters' radar.
  8. There was something on Fox about access to all Tasmanian father son prospects. Luckily we're not counting on too many of those.
  9. Maybe they thought his kicking was on the fritz.
  10. The impression I had from being at the G and not yet having seen the replay is that the team is still adapting to a faster, more direct style. Numerous possession chains that looked promising ultimately broke down due to inability to execute at pace. I would expect this to improve as the season progresses. In other words, exciting times ahead! What are the panels's thoughts on this? As as aside, who was the last Demon who could regularly deliver the sort of pass Billings used on the northern wing to set up Trac for a shot at goal in the third term? My nomination is Trapper. And let's hear what you think of Howes two games. He seems to have fitted in seamlessly to the defensive group who were collectively very strong.
  11. This is so true. (Listen to the wise, kiddies. We're not all senile.)
  12. And not one commentator remarked on it. A clear free to the Saints that resulted in a crucial Geelong goal. Just dreadful umpiring.
  13. In 1901 you can add in bubonic plague which first appeared in (I know you guessed it) the suburb of Collingwood.
