He's OK when the ball comes in soft but not when it comes in with pace.

No it's his marking technique full stop.

I have said it once and I will say it again JVR has cricketers hands when the ball comes in at pace his wrists are cocked back to far and his hands are facing the ball on impact. Why do forwards always start from behind or stand on the wrong side of the incoming ball and stand flat-footed hope they change it after half time.

Is Max not that bright to realise they are letting him thump the ball out of the ruck contest.

Starting to come around for a line forwards or backs cannot cross during play, this is just ruby.

Is there a chance someone can stand next to a lions player at the back of a stoppage.

Guess you missed the sarcasm and no they don't have a say where they train that is up to the club case in point you live 20 minutes from work and you're work decides to move an hour away do you think they would ask you if that's ok, it's a commercial decision. We will have to to see what the club decides.

Yeah it's damm hard to travel there for 4 hours a day 3- 4 days a week when most players are on $300,000 + a year it must be hard on them.

oh wait didn't they say Petty to the crows, Sparrow to the crows next will be Neitz making a comeback come on give it a rest we are 4 rounds in into the season how about we wait till October on to worry about this [censored].

Well we how many coaches do clubs have and guys cannot kick straight for goal from 20 out and they are full time, think there are more problems to worry about than throw ins from the boundary.

Thanks.

Was McAdam training at all?

Well they kicked 1 more goal than us in 1991 v west coast..

You play with what given to you, being full time would not have helped with the players touching the ball around the ground. But I believe they should be full time.

If the umpire didn't hear so be it he only gives decisions on what they see or hear or do we now just say that if a player says he touched it it must be so. Stop blaming umpires for everything it's a damm hard job, players make more mistakes than umpires during the game yet all supporters can say it's the umpires fault we lost the game. No game with officiating officials is not perfect.

Read what he said on the SEN web page.....

Commentators are like the weather changes every minute each one has a different perspective on the game and quite frankly who cares, if people get upset over their calling I suggest they take a Bex and a good lie down because next week they say the opposite the following week.

As I said he won't play midfield all season even when Bowey comes back.

Not saying he doesn't dribble on I tend to listen when he explains a play or the position players should be that's all I do and forget the noise.

Salem will not play midfield all year does not have the tank for that he would blow out just like Kossie, Salem is only good for short bursts he foes not get involved enough for midfield.

Depends on how you view it so who goes out for Bowey, Howes has been excellent and not put a foot wrong, Mc Donald, River's who?

Still doesn't change the fact that his football knowledge is1st class maybe people could and learn something instead of just dismissing him because they think he's a [censored].

Take away the dribble talk and listen to Derm when he explains a play and what they should have done etc he is generally spot on with his comments.

The rules of the game are generally the same it's the interpretation that has changed, but it's a hard game to umpire, Generally they don’t do a bad job but the way the game is played and manufactured with 36 players at one end of the ground it would be hard to see any frees that would be. The worst rule that has changed is the ruck rule how can 2 guys grapple each other around the shoulders every time I think it's time for no contact until the ball is in the air just like the old days I'm afraid for all ball ups and boundary throw ins. To blame umpires for losses is a cop out for why teams in my opinion is easy to blame someone else instead of why it happened. But I agree with the poster about having an ex umpire in the box to explain some interpretations but to do that would incorporate higher costs and I don't think it would happen.

Maybe he needs to stop flopping in marking contest first it embarrassing for a senior play with a side full of young kids.
