shocking turnovers just killing the giants

his great grandmother was a scullery maid, uncle

so wierd...... a game with zero tolerance to dissent played in a city where dissent is an expected way of life

don't forget salem and hibberd

true, but if they were full time professionals they could better hone their decision making and rule interpretation (as well as many other useful activities) So, for at least improving umpire standards and consistency at the AFL level it should work

i'd like to see the gliders beat the filth, so both can sit down the bottom of the ladder

i think teams playing on sunday who are forced to nominate a team on thursday have a bit more leeway for changes our team tonight would have more stringent conditions

yeah, think this might be a close one

i got sucked in nicely.......was fully prepared to vomit

in terms of ducking or lowering your centre of gravity etc i like to split it into 2 categories 1. ducking/weaving etc away from the tackler, to avoid a tackle and break free. i consider this legitimate 2. ducking into a tackle. this is staging for a free and a free should not be played. it is either play on or holding the ball if there is prior. i would also like to see umps caution players who do this.

and here is the afl one. you can see it is a different starting 18 and the line up (positions) is different RichmondVMelbourne FB [29] Jayden Hunt,[1] Steven May,[35] Harrison Petty HB [23] James Jordon,[44] Joel Smith,[24] Trent Rivers C [10] Angus Brayshaw,[5] Christian Petracca,[15] Ed Langdon HF [25] Tom McDonald,[26] Sam Weideman,[30] Alex Neal-Bullen FF [31] Bayley Fritsch,[50] Ben Brown,[9] Charlie Spargo FOL [11] Max Gawn,[13] Clayton Oliver,[32] Tom Sparrow IC [4] James Harmes,[6] Luke Jackson,[12] Toby Bedford,[17] Jake Bowey,[18] Jake Melksham,[20] Adam Tomlinson,[27] Luke Dunstan,[36] Kysaiah Pickett

which one? the afl one or the mfc one?

starting 18 can't be fixed because the afl lineup is different from the mfc lineup

it's the richmond pickett that is out (acc to ch9 news)

hahaha this thread just rockets along and becomes a huge echo chamber i keep getting sucked in every time i see a new post has been entered

getting any working definition of anything from the afl would be a first

yes, but they weren't the reigning premiers, which was the point

eddie is becoming a parody of eddie

work rate has a lot (but not only) to do with fitness and we owe a big thanks to burgess for raising the bar

raising eyebrows? opening mouth like a gold fish? shaking head left to right? giving oneself a nev facepalm? and finally saying sarcastically "good decision, ump"?

would love to see nick kyrgios playing afl just for the laughs

for me it's in bbb and out sw and a demolition of the ferals

but there was method in our madness

well all i can say is that all those who couldn't be bothered attending on sat night missed out on witnessing a cracking game of football from the boys

again macca, you are painting me as saying things i've never said my beef is and always has been that these new interpretations have gone too far, and to the extent of being damaging to the respect for umpires. now tell me how that point of view is too hard for you understand, even if you disagree
