Poetic MR, just love it......you're bucking for an invitation to Umpire's Presentation Night.

Hope he's fitter than Petty.

Could/would/should a recent purportedly suppressed Survey done by the Media/AFL have read like of the Twenty/ Forty Top AFL Umpires, Five of Each supported C, C, E and G. Of the Twenty Left various supported Interstate, with a smattering of One or two to BDogs, M and NM. That would explain a lot.

Yes, i found it hard to explain.....

Also, what about the holding the ball decisions, where, if we have it there is no time or effort taken into account, when they have it, it's almost as if they get enough time to get it out regardless. And then there's the rule about running contest for the ball two players on each side. One of them gets the ball the other shepherds, quite successfully, no penalty. When we get the ball, same thing, one shepherds, not successful, we get called for infringement off the ball or some make up about illegal twaddle...

Yes, that's where they look to see how clear or likely to get away the player who is playing on will be, and decide..........hello@#$%

Yep Clint, i was trying to pinpoint when they thought enough was enough. I think the only way out is to continue the hate back at em..........

....and i thought fatty and baldy were bad.....

Ahhhhh, the memories of Portnoy's straightening out......

A certain decorated player in tonight's game reverts at times to very unorthodox and quite dangerous tackling techniques. Has been noticed before. In last nights game the slo mo replay on Buddy doesn't work apparently, because no where to be seen is the inter action with Rance in slowed down speed, funny that........

Didn't notice the Umpires in Footscray's meritorious win until well into last quarter. Well" lo and behold" up popped the inevitable, cats must win. But "they" must have lost their clocks because there just wasn't time. However they gave it a shot.....

Round 15

Guy wants to put a Fish (y) restaurant on the site......

Worked thirty five years ago, but i wouldn't do it.....

Even you OD

'that superb bump" as you call it, has been an example of the reason why Bernie, amongst others, has been cited and maligned several times, in the past, by the media when they feel it has been "poo" ie stink, worthy by their standards of MFC.

While this team is being constantly reminded that they are just a team, and members thereof, and that everything works together and there is going to be ups and downs, then in my opinion there are a heap of improvements. We are getting to the business end and the big boys are laying out their territory. No matter what the maggots did we finished off a game well even though we lost. I reckon that loss hurt a lot.We knew at the start of the season the games were not under the belt yet, but we hoped we had super talent, and it would prevail, we have, but it didn't. So far.... I personally, being an optimist put Trac in the Croswell, Kekovich and Watson category, and Tim knows it. Also i have seen all these blokes play up close. He is an untapped quantity, but never tell the "B"

The expression on the Umpire's face says it all. All about remorse and conscience, 'but i've still got to do it because i hate seeing them win and we must subjugate them or we let the genie out of the bag'.............

Westhoff is a perennial , hard done by, junk yard dog, who mopes around, pushing blokes in the back, telling the maggots how cruel it was to him in every contest. In contrast you see Jones who doesn't suck for any frees when he's playing or when he's going up for the toss or even during every break. You name other Captains, Cotchin, Ablett and Pendelbury for a start . They are the biggest sucks in the AFL and that's just to name three.

You ask yourself the same question, and i know how hard it is to be an umpire as well as an ex player. You have to have a consciously different mind set when you do umpire, at any grade. That aside, the idea that we should have been far enough ahead should justify the rulings, silly, i'm afraid. Just as the game against Adelaide, to me, proved, to a certain extent of what the sort of football we can play when allowed to "breath" the juggernaut (AFL) is just SO AFRAID....don't think HT they haven't discussed the potential of the MFC they created.

I have a few different slants, in that i think that taking out the sickening Umpire decisions, Goody should use that game against that team, as a yardstick for the players to overcome the adversity, overwhelmingly and mentally, to win. That's the difference, the goal if you like, to win, to make the run from here and now. I know it's probably a bit early, but this is the place we are in now........

I heard a supposed AFL aside in the hallowed halls recently that went something like "when these two blokes were playing for TWSNBN they never had a free kick paid against them, they make a new start for them and their families in a new environment (MFC) and look what bias befalls them".

Kicking the can down the road a bit, zero in on Footscray vs North Melbourne last night, North heavily favoured by the Umpires in crucial decisions to the pin up media boy Higgins who uses his elbows like fists and never "deliberate"

The reason why this game was more pronounced was because our predisposition was different. We never gave up right to the end. Therefore the glaringly bloody obvious was there..........we was robbed.

We could have done a lot better with a fit Vandenberg and Bugg in that team to fall over Pepper who kept on falling on top of everyone else. Umpires my a#$%s...
