We win well today and we’re in the top 4. And that will be a beautiful thing.

Indeed. Another 10+ goal win will put us at the pointy end.

Thanks.

Okay, let's get this straight. He is 25 years old, turning 26 next month. And if you rate him on par with ANB or Harmes then I'd challenge your comment of "watching a little bit of the Eagles." If ANB or Harmes turn out to be as good as Gaff I'd be very, very surprised.

Nearly the whole footy world new the right decision was a fine for Charlie and a week for Ed when they fronted the tribunal. Should be a public poll. Muppets.

I know that but he called it intentional and referred it to the tribunal. My point is that the system is still broken after Hockings changes at a match review level. I said it earlier, I he MRO is looking like a toothless tiger and Hocking isn’t liking it.

What’s ultimately at play here is the credibility of Hockings decision to appoint a single MRO to officiate all incidents in an effort to find consistency. What’s happened is a continuation of the same flaws producing the same confusion. The next thing to happen here is anyone’s guess but Hockings arrival and seemingly astute and timely decisions are right on the line here. The appeal fails and so does Hocking. Big time.

Maybe so but I think a thread title update to reflect the status is warranted just so we can up the angst.

I reckon if there’s no word by lunchtime then that’s it. Nothing further folks.

Why is something so simple reffered to the tribunal anyway! Michael Christian must feel like biggest toothless tiger at AFL house.

I considered Hawkins to be worse as he was looking at the Ump but Ed Curnow was clearly deliberate and the decision made by the tribunal has proven that the new system is as flawed as ever.

I knew that as I was typing the post but I all seriousness, if this isn’t appealed the AFL have really left themselves open.

It’s set a new benchmark that the tribunal will never be able to adjudicate differently again. Anyone with a similar action has a case study to reference for years to come.

If players stopped trying to be fancy and kicked drop punts at goal the problem would rectify quite quickly.

Nice work, Fitz.

Maybe it’s just me but I’ve always thought to have a ‘head of coaching’ or a ‘head of strategy’ a dumb arse thing to start with. The Head coach should be head of everything for crying out loud. Theyve got line coaches in junior footy now and it’s just so over the top the way the AFL has turned a once pleasurable Saturday morning with your kids into an animosity fuelled atmosphere with rabid parents barking instructions rather than letting a good, single coach teach the kids to have fun and play fair. Blame the business that it’s turned into for the fallout it causes to individuals like Neeld and their families. Rant over.

My thoughts as well.

AFL site saying he resigned. As always. the truth will lay somewhere in-between.

I watched Worsfolds post match presser this round and thought I was rewatching Neelds pressers all over again. Excrucitating.

Coincidentally, Robbo was effusive with praise for Oliver last Tuesday on 360 and actually mentioned his handballing. Doesnt stop him from being a D-head I know but I though I’d balance the argument.

A good response from Harmes - he knew. ANB similar but Viney is a clear upgrade for mine. In: Viney Out: Neal- Bullen

Well....

We should be aiming for a 150 point score but our skills won’t allow that.

Fuggin hell ANB.
