Nothing about Jackson on the MFC website, 3 hours after Brown announced in the media. Sometimes we get treated like junior clerks.

The only issue I have with him, he does tend to fumble a bit, cost us against NTH this week when we were away and he had a player in front of him but he fumbled, needs to become a one grab player. Love his endurance

It's one way to raise revenue, certainly wasn't reportable

Further to the confusion for me was, there was a goal umpire and a boundary umpire who were in exactly the right spot to judge whether the ball had been marked legitimately, however the field umpire who is at 90 degrees to the play dismisses the GU and BU judgement and calls for a review. The field Umpire was in the worst position ever to ask for that to be reviewed.

I thought Lockhart was really good tonight, don't nderstand the hate

I thought they were quite amusing to watch last night

I'm reserving my whinge until I see their Round 13 to 17

I remember this dude awful exploitation by some Hawthorn lowlifes

What are they saying down at Glenferrie Rd NOW?/????

Did you read my mind

Does Weid play better with a shiner, i remember he copped one in 2018 final series

How good are the cut always to Clarkson

Wow just wow

Awesome just awesome

Ray Smith was a beauty

Good point Nasher, maybe this topic should have it's own thread, but I think with the game slowing down due to the u/12 type tactics of teams these days, do we really need 3 (and sometimes 4 umpires),? Each has their own interpretation of the rules, which only fuels the inconsistency argument. Most umpires are guessers, that is why habitual actors like Danger and Duckwood get frees paid to them constantly. I think the game needs just 2 umpires, lets face it for most of the game they are stuck one half or the other, I'm a great believer in human frailties being part of the game, get rid of the goal line technology, cut down to two umpires (one at each end) and let them make mistakes like everyone else Shrug and get on with the game (win some lose some)

1 nice spoil

Better game than the Coll Hawt v game. I reckon were doing alright. Amazing how tracs miss can turn a game around

Good to see some passion after the goal

Hawks have more passengers than the Ruby Princess

Thanks Bruce

Although I'm not so sure about being close to a flag, but I think we could be thereabouts with a few tweaks to the set up. Everyone has an opinion here and in the media. But Chook makes some good points, fit list, getting plenty of the ball, lots of forward 50 entries...maybe just maybe

I can't say I agree, I wish they would pay all of those, the frustrating part for me is they don't. Players too often, grab the ball and look for the tackler, and have no intent in moving the ball on. It's a real blight on the game. The problem is highlighted with the Petracca incident, that it is up to the umpire when he blows the whistle, often a player gets tackled the same, and the umpire blows the whistle straight away and throws it up, and sometimes they wait and then ping the player, there's no consistency

I saw instances yesterday of players running into the 50m arc and ignoring the easy handball off side ways (which would have put them 10 -15 m closer to goal, instead looking for the clever Hollywood foot pass, which the inevitably finished up with an opposition mark. They try and be too cute inside 50 instead of taking the easier and less spectacular option. I think there are few egos in the team that need a real good hard look at themselves.

Should show the players Richmond laughing on the bench. Just shows what they think of us
