That umpire number 22 - every time I see him umpiring our games my heart sinks

McDonald May Bowey Salem Chandler Oliver

I made a point of watching Fritsch at the game yesterday. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but he seemed lethargic, disinterested and only going at half pace. I got chatting to a bloke sitting behind me who told me that Fritsch’s contract is up at the end of the season, clubs are sniffing around and in his opinion, Fritsch has ‘checked out’. What does the panel think?

Thanks so much for this. So many memories and so many great players ❤️💙

I’d give Ollie Sestan a run - we have nothing to lose by trying him.

Couldn’t agree more. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. This person should get named and shamed. The players don’t go out to lose each week and whilst it wasn’t the result we wanted ( far from it) hurling abuse like that is not ok. Go Dees

I refer to them as ‘The Franchise’

And he is a beautiful kick

Not a question but more an observation. For the first time in a long time I don’t actually feel that disheartened by this loss. I think our future looks bright with these young players who did not seem to be at all fazed by their big day. GWS are a seriously good side so I think we can hold our heads high and whilst a win would have been welcomed, I think we have a lot to look forward to.

Must have missed that. What did they do?

Spoke to him during the preseason- he said he’s the fittest he’s ever been. I’d give him a game over Howes.

I’d be giving Ollie Sestan a run.

It breaks my heart 💔

I must have watched that 1000 times. I was there that day and that was one of the beautiful goals I have ever seen. Especially as I was sitting amongst a mob of Collingwood supporters.

Oh me too! I’ve really let my Pies and Blues friends/ family know about it. Hope I don’t live to regret this come Sunday afternoon 🙏

I’m rapt with the way Green is making this call. He means business which is what we have been lacking. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So excited that the podcast is back. Cannot tell you how much I have missed you all. i just listened to Troy Chaplin post match interview. He insinuated that Max might get ‘managed’ this season. As our spiritual leader, what do think about this? We play better when Max is on the ground but I understand he is not getting any younger so may need a break here and there. Is Campbell up to replacing Max in this instance or will they just rotate the rucking duties? I’m not keen on JVR playing ruck. Prefer to see him stay down on the forward line. What does the panel think? Looking forward to this season and am quietly confident we have what it takes this year to get the job done. Go Dees ❤️💙

I wish them much happiness and a premiership this year would be the icing on the cake!

After all this time this still bought a tear to my eyes. I will always remember where I was when I heard this on the news. So tragic and so terribly sad. Thank you for the memories ❤️💙

I don’t think I will ever get over this incident. I still feel angry and the mere mention of that POS name makes me want to vomit. Don’t get me started on MC. Having had dealings with him over the years I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw him. How does he still hold that position of power. It’s beyond me.

Happy New Year everyone and thanks to Andy and the team of dedicated contributors. Looking forward to the podcast retuning. Stay safe and here’s to a stellar 2025. Go Dees ❤️💙

They deserve all the happiness in the world ❤️
