Rod Grinter Riot Squad

Melksham grabbed by the ankle, umpire has clear line of vision. Play on. I know it’s a hard job, but the incompetence of AFL and VFL umpires will never cease to amaze me

I have for years called for umpires to operate as a team, match those who read the game similar. I have done sports umpiring and if doing with same umpire you learn their interpretation and umpire same way - it leads to consistency. On the topic of umpiring I still shake my head in disbelief at how badly we adjudicate the advantage rule, why can’t we do what works in other sports, raise an arm for a free, give it 5-10 seconds, see if the advantage is there, if so lower arm, if not blow whistle and give free

The theory of the rule is good in my opinion, it is the wildly inconsistent interpretation that is so infuriating. The Andrew’s one was just appalling. Bit like the in the back on the same player was appalling and if the umpiring department want some respect the umpire should have been publicly dropped, not for a mistake but for a fabricated excuse for ignoring an obvious free kick. I have done umpiring in the past, understand that it’s not an easy gig, but I also don’t think that being consistent in your interpretation and implementation of the rules is difficult. For the life of me, I can’t understand how the AFL and the umpires get it so wrong, so consistently

Three consecutive games where opposition fails to score a goal in the first quarter Wonder if that’s been done before

Some posts a bit over top, remember every team has players down pecking order. Weid copped it before finishing better, but fact is 3 of our goals up to half way through third quarter came after spillages from marking contests that he competed in…. Also delivery ordinary to tall forwards in the second, but our tall forwards copped it…. Go figure. Love this team, they are just amazing

Umpiring is bloody appalling so far

GC in round 2 are the last team to score a first quarter goal against us!

Our defence really is amazing, streets ahead of anything I have seen from us over the last 40years

Post is all that acting from Hogan deserved Why boo a player we happily traded out?

Looks a terrible crowd on the TV

It was 6

Win this weekend and we will have won 12 on the trot for only the second time.

Too much weight on ligaments?

Back on top, to remain there for rest of 2022

A couple of unanswered goals is all the need to put Pies out

Glad Oweiss missed that, did a massive dive in third playing for free, that free was from a clear dive

If the Suns win by 39 or above, the Blues % will drop below 100, I’d like to see that…

6 goals up, almost 3/4 time, hopefully Suns win by over 10 goals

Tell us what you really think….

Would love to see the Suns burst the Blues bubble

Damn I almost liked the Crows for one of the only times in their history!

The Bombers have been going on about how they have played 3 of top 4 from last year. Go Crows!! Make my day😂

Laughing at the thought of the size of the meltdown over at B Blitz if the Crows can get up

Didn’t see it, but commentators said hand injury

Imagine 10 teams of Adelaide quality…. That is what we should have
