Return to Glory

RN, that is sensational news in the scheme of things, particularly if you're paranoid (like me) when it comes to these things.

Don't get me started. Ray doesn't just want to umpire, he wants to influence the game.

Smith hamstring apparently.

'On the upside, looks like the stare is back in vogue. On ya Pykey, inspiring stuff.' To be fair, that's pretty funny

And I think both of us have been, at one time or other, supporters of keeping ANB in the side. Touch wood, it's good to get one right occasionally. As for Gus, four weeks ago I thought he may well be finished. Never did I think he would reach this level and I think there were plenty of others on the same bus.

Totally agree. Maybe I would have put Lever in ahead of Oliver BBO.

I have just witnessed one of the worst goal umpiring decisions ever that was accompanied by a field umpire panicking.

2nd best on ground DT?

The key was that they played as a unit. And all of a sudden we have five or six forward options at any one time.

Bolton may need to check his back for knives this week. To be fair, he's so tiny they'll be Swiss Army knives..but knives nonetheless.

We bagged the living crap out of him when he arrived at the club but Melksham has been an f'ing revelation for us.

I agree. We never smash them.

No. That doesn't mean that he can't make something of his career but, right at the minute, no.

They replaced the Northern side stand JD but the old Southern side stand remains. It's a pity the oval/venue doesn't get the crowds it deserves...if that makes sense.

Without doubt it's one of the better suburban grounds Diamond. Wandered down a number of times and always good value around Mornington Peninsula League finals time.

I missed the first quarter Bleasey. Thought you were a little tough on JKH. Did Baker play well in the first quarter? I didn't think he did much.

Just came back from the game. One way traffic but a couple of observations. Oskar Baker made several poor decisions and this was a little disappointing. Needs to inject himself into the game a bit more. And get rid of that shite haircut. If you're playing badly don't bring attention to it. I made a point of watching his game and there's clearly potential but I left unconvinced about his footy smarts (this coming from someone who was a really dumb player) Jayden Hunt played ok but chip kicks aren't his go. Good voice out on the field. JKH is too smart a footballer for this level but is probably unlucky to be at Melbourne given our number of mids. Pedo was outstanding. Bugg has presence and, to his credit, he was very good today.

Who knew that you could put Mark Neeld's game plan on a plate.

And would make ripper pre - match or half time entertainment. No doubt the Aus Kickers would love it. Yes, they'd have to run around the makeshift guillotine (there's a sponsorship opportunity in itself) but it's a visual deterrent they won't forget in a hurry.

You have to wonder, don't you. It's got a touch of 'you haven't heard it from me but tell your lawyer to go down the careless route'.

I was going to say that you couldn't make this shite up. But they actually are.

Well, the precedent has been set. Good luck to them.

Tommy Bugg would have been remanded in custody had it been him.

Umpires around the country will be stoked with this ruling. Push an ump in the chest whilst looking away and Bob's your Uncle.

If Eddie gets off it's a little farcical.
