Return to Glory

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.

Actually think both should go. You don't touch the umpire ever. Sends a very bad message to suburban leagues that already have large numbers of nuffies if they get off.

Scapegoat. P155 poor tbh.

Good to see that Geelong players are still allowed to dispose of the footy any way they like.

Harrison Petty seems to be coming along nicely if today's reports are anything to go with.

At the end of the day, he's not Dwayne Russell.

There's another option - give Viney another week. Why not? I'd rather err on the super cautious side.

Bit of a banana peel game today. Not sure it will be as easy as some are suggesting. And Clarry may need sunfactor 500

Agree with you DA. He is a dumb footballer. Physical talent but very low footy smarts. Parker was great last night.

Honestly SFebey, I'm desperate for someone to abuse me in the workplace. Anything will do; fat honky, middle aged, Melbourne supporter. Anything. You won't even know you've done it until the court summons appears.

Lawyers just must love this. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Bit tough my friend. Yes, his commentary today was pretty poor. He has also watched his son go through the unimaginable and any father would want to stick up for his son given the circumstances. Irrelevant though? No. One of the best players I and many others saw through the late 80's and 90's. And coached at the highest level. I reckon he may know a bit more about the game than you and me.

I know he's taken on the whipping boy role (after Watts left) but amongst his stuff ups there were some signs that a turn around in form wasn't a million miles away. Rose coloured glasses my friends, you've gotta get a pair.

Got to admit, I've been a little pessimistic about Gus ever becoming a very good player for us. Looks like I could be wrong. Hope so. Today was a real step forward.

At one point Watson used the word 'we' when referring to the Saints.

Beat Saints on their home deck by 40 points. I'll take that every time. Two big positives, the Weed getting game time and looking better and Gus playing his best game for the club - by a long way. Let's be realistic and grateful.

Laughable. Whether the ball was touched or not, Sydney always get an arm chair ride at the SCG. Think Buddy being allowed to be spun 720 degrees before releasing the ball or taking a set shot that involves deviating 10 metres from the normal straight line run up. It's safe to say the ledger, on and off the field (think COLA) is squarely in their favour and has been for years. Give us a spell (abracadabra)

Shite game

Looks like they're the better team but the Cats really are allowed to dispose of the ball any way they like down there.

The three-years-away dream - Son of a gun, Kobe Farmer in tandem with Charlie. I've lost it but it's possible.

There's a point where you just need to back Weed in and simply put games into him. This is the time.
