monoccular

.... as cause, or effect? How about an umpire Sportsbet account audit?

It certainly wasn’t anything remotely related to contesting to a ball delivered forward in any manner other than a long random bomb. Delivery forward last night was just appalling. BBB seriously would have had trouble.

MAX MAY VINEY JORDON ANB SPARROW

We did what we needed to do - nothing flash but an absolutely strangling defence. Need to spruce up our inside 50 delivery considerably ...... most were random and ugly. Felt sorry for weed and Fritter - even BBBBB would have struggled.

Percentage crumbling by the minute

How about no intent then (7.25 to go in Q4)

Seriously, was this team actually 2nd on the ladder 5 H&A games ago? Hinkley surely cannot survive this.

Arm around Weed's waist in front of goal - no friggin free

Not with our inside 50 delivery so far. Good contest by Weed and pass to Max. Lycett just a bit too slow and far behind Max to clobber the back of his head. Good kick Max

Round the neck to Oliver - ball up! Balls up more likely. Goody loves to strangle the opposition which is just what we are doing. Pity about out forward entries which are just pathetic.

Of course .... but they got hit by the karma bus in the end

Just when one couldn't believe the umpiring could get worse - then a deliberate that was in absolutely no way.

Great kick from Sparrow - mark to TMcD, ball swatted out after mark paid - no 50 (though not needed).

What is wrong with our forward entries? 1 goal in a quarter and a half!! Make that 2 - both to the Fritta. (Crowd moron s: boooo booo booo!)

Was May the victim of unfriendly fire? Kozzie - perfect tackle, holding the ball but free to Huston. [censored] disgrace maggots.

Thug Lycett jabs Max in the guts - no 50. Maggots are absolutely appalling. Viney in the back x3 and the last blatantly obvious - no free.

Bloody hell Weid front on spoil - no free Oliver held sans ball - no free and ffs Gawn thrown out of the ruck contest - no free F'n disgrace Spargo in the back - no free, then ANB no prior - free

What an appalling free to Georgiadis - fair contest Too many turnovers at this stage Good to see that thug lump Lyceum tackled and penalised

The Spargo holding - with no prior o the Ruch against Max?

Tom - not clever mate.

We won't know unless it happens. Completely depends upon exactly what is being asked of him, and if he is doing that (which I suspect he is).

But, the AFL repeatedly go on about the head being sacrosanct, umpires will protect the head, etc etc. Pack of absolute hypocrites. My 1 and 3 yo grandchildren had it, isolated with their very hands on mum and dad for a week, and they didn’t get it. Bit of a lottery.

binman - is Wheatley Thursday show on TV or radio? Which station / Chanel and what time?

Sorry - maybe I didn't word it properly. I wasn't suggesting any form of subterfuge, just convenient that they don't need to make the hard call this week (but knowing that they would have made it if they had to).

Some of the positioning is strange (though we know that the announced lineups often bear little resemblance to how they appear on the ground) Smith "Health protocol" is "convenient" for Lever's return. Brown - obviously it is felt that rushing over on the day of the match after not training for a week isn't ideal.. No talls on the emergency list - is that tempting fate?
