Fair weather coach

How about we just abolish the MRO and go back to the tribunal system as a standalone vetting process.

Maynard from the Pies does it better than anyone. It’s premeditated, timed very well (usually after a goal is scored) and has the desired outcome. The immediate retaliation is as you’ve pointed out is fraught with drawing the ire of the umpire but the tactical stuff, like Maynard and others offer, is complete bereft in our team.

This will be a very tough game and I won’t be the least bit surprised if we’re on the receiving end of another close loss.

It’s almost like the team has been instructed not to get involved in any ‘flying the flag’ because it detracts from the next play and players getting to position if they get sucked into that type of stuff. But there’s definitely still a time and place for it in terms of getting some mongrel and venom into the team on game day. I love Max but I’m starting to see him flop around - almost staging for free kicks rather than holding his ground and looking to hurt the opposition or at least intimidate with more aggression. The overall fear factor of the team has sadly and substantially waned this year. Time to inject the mongrel back into the mindset of our players. King has a point.

Funnily enough both Owen’s and Caminiti were the last two remaining goal scorer legs on a SGM @$876 for me. Hurt.

My plesier.

Lloyd said on Sunday footy show that he deserved a week because Hunter’s attempt at winning the footy was insufficient. What a pielkop!

If the Hawks lose today against the Eagles in Tasmania, the tank is well and truly on - if it wasn’t already.

Fake. No way is her head there!

season 2023

If we accept Hunters 1 week suspension I’ll be checking out from the 2023 H&A season. I’ve never been so disheartened by the direction of the game and its management. It’s just too infuriating.

I think there’s still some margin outside of where he ventured. How about “yeah, the game was super greasy and there were other calls that we’ll query with the AFL.” The fact that the maggots can’t read the status of the game and the conditions that are impacting the players is the most alarming thing for me.

Indeed mate but that would’ve only drawn their ire even more and the AWFUL would’ve fined the club for doing so.

Goodwin shrugging his shoulders about the question of Oliver throwing the ball… Missed an opportunity to ****can the overall performance of the maggots imo. Still filthy. 😤

If Hunter gets suspended that’s me done for the H&A. Right. Bed.

Out Tmac In BBB I’m too [censored] off to give it another thought tonight. Goin to bed.

The game is becoming a poor spectacle. Four field umpires all gunning for their 15 seconds of fame by blowing the whistle on the most flaky and dubious decisions of the year. Am I biased? Hell yeah! But the sport is quickly losing its appeal to me. I pride myself on not losing control of my emotions but tonight I cussed and yelled like never before. Disgusting display of umpiring with the final boundary throw in clearly favouring Port but not being pulled up by the field umps. It was a wet game being adjudicated like a dry game. Decisions like the JHF tripping free was absolutely [censored] ludicrous! These umpires are seriously out of their depth. Something needs to change because I’ve lost the loving feeling for the sport of Aussie rules.

OMG THIS GAME IS TURNING INTO AN ABSOLUTE ****SHOW

4 umps all trying to justify their pay packet.

Softest contact sport in the world. NRL here I come.

I’m starting to really dislike this sport.

I was chatting to Shane at the WCE game and he stated “Taj was a lock for round one had he not dislocated his finger”

The C word is still a bit rough Uncle to be fair. But I’ve struck a few in my time.
