Return to Glory

They were my intitial thoughts PF. I'm certainly not over it to your extent but try and keep up.

If injury free and with a pre-season under his belt, where do you see Laurie slotting in Picket? Ive pictured him in the Sam Mitchell mould?

Pauline, I can't.

Mazer, I actually think there are some very good umpires. I suspect, however, that they are pressured in reviews to umpire to the letter of the law and their selection may be dependent upon this. Don’t forget, Steve Hocking and others before him are forever tinkering and that can’t be easy.

That was a great game of footy.

Didn’t realise this was a light hearted comment free zone

Thinking the same. Maybe less focus on Instagram and hair

Love Kozzy. Not sure you can say that yet. Both clubs would be pretty happy.

And you’d love him at Melbourne

Would have him at Melbourne in a heartbeat. I don’t find him annoying. I think the frees against Essendon have allowed the media to pile into him a bit.

I want them to win Jaded as I don’t think they’ll beat Port but will run them closer than Lions

Zorko annoys me. Thug who gets overly outraged (Guthrie, Selwood like) when a decision goes against him.

Right now, Joel Smith's performance against Cameron is stacking up pretty well.

Can't believed Brissie haven't included self - confessed 'Beast - mode' in the team, such is his genius.

That’s because they’re not playing any forwards that I can see Demonland.

How’s that free to Rohan?

Holmes? Elementary mistakes

Tommy Lahiff - 'Can you hear me Harry?' (for the older Demonland crowd)

So the precedent has been set. Meanwhile, local footy struggles to recruit enough umpires as young umpires tire of the abuse. I wonder if there's a correlation🙄

The AFL had a chance to send a clear signal, across all levels of football, that umpire abuse in any form wouldn't be tolerated. Absolutely bottled it.

Three weeks for making deliberate contact with an umpire. Joke of a decision.

To an extent. I thought some of Mitch Robinson's antics were pretty embarrassing also. Not thuggish but certainly not great.

I'm genuinely asking how you come to that conclusion? No agenda, just curious.

As seen elsewhere, he's more rectal thermometer than barometer.

I'm sure I heard a commentator refer to him along the lines of everybody's favorite Uncle. 🤢
