I've seen the three best players to pull on boots in the last seventy years Baldock, Jesaulenko and Flower and he is better than all of them Just bearing in mind he is actually playing in todays conditions.

Asap plus ....

And did Jordan answer the obvious reason why there is a build up to non composure. It's not just two balmy decisions in the heat. It's crucial, terribly costly abhorrent mistakes, deliberately by poor umpires. Every week key players are baffled by ordinary incorrect decisions. Whether it be the inconsistency of key players pushing in the back, by the strength of the push, or key players going down after a touch amongst several touches.

If the public knew what the umpires were told in relation to their interpretation of the rules, I think they would be amazed. I actually it, the interpretation, changes regularly on a week to week basis. I also believe the AFL bosses are telling ng umpires,via an advisory group what to do. This means they are out of control with playing by the rules. In relation to us, I also believe that the players at MFC adhere to the rules more closely than sixteen other clubs, maybe less than two at most.

Both the Brothers along with The Coach of C have been to the umpires and their AFL boss in a one on one and it's worked especially about diving on the player with the ball on the ground, and the pushing in the back, doing shifty stuff on and around the mark, and also playing on to advantage.

I personally think that the way the umpiring pans out, there has to be collaboration of some scale. That means there has to be discussion. If there is discussion there has to be a record. That's where we are at.

If ever there's a player in an AFL JUMPER that's got a right to complain to an umpire it's K Pickett....

Your summary is pretty close, but can you honestly say that we got a fair shake today, The frees were crucial and constant and I ain't blind. Those blokes in yellow know when and where they are giving them, and they are specifically engineered at crucial run on stages.

If the same effort is served for the rest of the year IN EVERY GAME, we play finals.

Wouldn't touch this with a shoulder the size of Tarzan's. They would be just waiting for someone like Kos to hit anyone above their hip area and he would get four was.

I thought the umpiring wasn't out of character for all except one of our VFL games so far this year.

After Tassie crashed they have dropped their bundle. Commissioners will be busy unhooking their hollies to Europe

I knew at 25 it was time. Everything was hard enough then, including the abuse and the rewards. So I retired upon my choice and a future family.

MRO What a bunch of disgusting human beings.Oliver went down on the ground and nothing happens every week. Kozzie got physically jumped on AND MAULED SAVAGELY by three St kilda heroes at the same time. Nothing happens. In my opinion most of the force from Johnson' s shoulder bypassed NWM and more than likely hit the Melbourne bloke.

That's legless

Which he's probably gonna do anyway because he knows the maggots are going to turn a blind eye to anyway. Thay are responsible for several cases this year of kids being pushed in the back, kneed in the back, and other dirty acts going unnoticed and causing injured players to stay on the ground. Let's hope not, or maybe it should lead to class actions in the future. Disgruntled old player of the game, who remembers some injures.

Kossie copped more in that game than NWM copped in the one incident. Never gets picked up OK for St Kilda to play the man but never us. Maybe Johnson thought that Kossie deserved a bit of a hand for a change.

Why

For a start with goal kicking... Never turn your back on the mark, find it asap. The umpires like the opposition know our weakness at kicking for goal as well as distance, and the angle like the distance is often changed. One of Collingwood best kicks for goal never turns his back on the mark. They make sure.

Lyon loses today. His job was on the line. They, their team had to tell him that even though other Interstate Clubs got the good gifted players from the AFL handed out to them (interstate) on a platter. They , his players, are still trying their guts out. Ideal result, foregone conclusion before the bounce.... We bounce back next week.

There was a startling difference between the last two games and this game The intensity was there from both clubs, but the protection wasn't. Max was back to being constantly being scragged before the arrival of the ball. The forward line was constantly being obstructed going for the ball. The disgusting maggots in the middle were entirely different to the first qtr of the last two weeks.

Wondered where maggot 8 had been hiding

Right O we're all tired.....

My son Bryce just unofficially finished playing a game or two with Flash up here in C, and B said he enjoyed the time immensely.

Reliance upon an inconclusive member, by Carltons bog standard results, is virtual suicide.
