Petracca Captain probably by unanimous player vote, but by Media and AFL vote Moore who is a bighead

Much more pleasing than Rising Star this week was Roo's up the ground movement. Lot to like about his solid play yesterday moving in and out of congestion..

Couple of things............... despite the best efforts of a majority of umpires we still won the game. Razor next week please. We got our first holding ball free kick with a minute thirty six seconds to go. Petty and Oliver necessities.

Not looking very good for Hawthorn, and that goes for any Hawthorn Officials in the periods. If the AFL think that this can be fobbed off into the sunset or even Tasmania they have got another disaster coming. It could go on for ages as experience teaches us.

I would imagine there could be a case/precedent for the Human Rights commission if they so desire to take this further to certain Courts within or outside Australia

I don't think he meant this year...............on a lighter note i hope all those blokes who think the umpiring has been satisfactory and cannot be blamed for us losing, you will be able to see ALL the ones that were missed by our maggots picked up and paid in most of Sunday's games.......enjoy

I thought i knew the rules, but i just keep getting the jumpers mixed up

Everyone happy with the umpiring?

In my OP, a young forward line needs guidance just like a backline does. For that reason i'm leaning towards Macca or Melksham to be in. I would like to see Melksham in the following week as well to maybe play his hundred against Collingwood and win. He and Hibberd are tough and they equalise other teams tough players. For that matter so is Sparrow. Grundy will be ok. I'm also looking forward to having Clarry in the box this week because he will make a contribution at ground level like we probably will not experience before..

Agree with this, another used to be is come in from the side for a mark, and ride the hip, always hurt, and another was to fake a mark playing in front when in one on one getting as close as possible to opponent, taking off early and purposely impeding his knees and consequent take off with your studs. Worked a treat.

Hardwick going to GC is one thing but don't forget the manure could really hit the fan if Brisbane or Hawthorn blows up big time. There are quite a few people living in trepidation about AFL trying to ride over the top of interested groups here..

Actually you can tell Goody's different looks as to whether he is just so so or not...

There is of course the Geelong connection with the Coaches getting information in advance of everyone else, and playing the free in advance style. Now i need to include TWSNBN with the brother connection.

and then the maggots go looking for excuses to pay frees and report players the following weeks.

Carlton got stuck into Cameron for exactly the same thing and to an extent it worked. Pendlebury, it didn't because he is their Captain. They stuck up fiercely for him, as we should stick up for our Captain.

One free kick for kicking in danger and the push in back rule is stuffed

Rozee the Posee Got form, did it again during the same game. Take it from an old bloke who got a few wacks They make an art form out of the little pirouette, and flat out, after checking himself and listening for the words, don't worry, he's been reported and you have the ball......

Not the scooters that have been thrown over the hedge....

Tonight's Special Privilege for Collingwood. Coll Player puts hand up. Carlton on mark. Player kicks ball after extra seconds have elapsed. All we hear in our games is play on.

Infringing a mark from behind, is this day's curly rule of the Round.........COX to get three Frees

Thats free kicks son!!!

How many [censored]'s did Butters get, bearing in mind he is the best "injured" footballer in Adelaide.

Fair enough i read it and it was a bit jumbled. The point being is i find it quite difficult to cope with the Media week in and week out so i hope they don't think we are going to cop it. You can see the disdain that players have for the indecision making process that goes on week in and week out. How decisions that are completely incongruous to the whole game except for the last minute pop up and a team loses. How players do not get penalised for being in the protected zone in one game this week yet last week were, by the same umpire, in a different game at a crucial stage. How players get regularly warned going over a mark, from some clubs and when others from other clubs do it they are penalised. How angles regularly get changed to play on and not play on calls

Hunter knows the Media and obviously doesn't regard them with a mensa plus rating..

HAPPENS EVERY WEEK Heard from confidant that we are all the AFL talk about every Monday or Tuesday. Stop laughing at the AFL, boys. Which umpires to do our game and which umpires not to... How to catch us unprepared, different rule to be regurgitated and enforced. How cocky we are. How our senior/leaders players talk back to the Media all the time, to the point of no communication for fear of retribution back on the field.
