Yes it is called loyalty, and I think it's "the way"

I don't care about most umpires but I care a bloody sight less about the way the game we love is being manipulated by quite a few officials who seem intent on not having status quo for all clubs at all times Things like Hird heading for a traineeship under a previous confidant without as much as a murmer. Another bloke who has done a terrible job in a Tribunal position of great responsibility without any public accountability and tenure time. Just one other bug bear about who decides Friday night games prime time..

I am only thinking of specific animosity in regard to two clubs Brisbane and Carlton and as such I reckon that % and wins are how we drive them into exhaustion for the rest of the season.Build up our % to such an extent that for them to make up the ladder position further they have to win by more at the business end and they will be stuffed.Right where we want them.

Another reason to put down the shutters and plan the retribution reign of reckoning ie our revonant.

Everyone takes their turn

Ryan has shown (the wrong) intent before. Probably peed off he couldn't get another speccie on Max's hip and back again. I would appeal ASAP.

Unlike a lot of incidents this MFC player showed virtually instant remorse.Even a Court recognises remorse not at this bloody kangaroo court.

And he wasn't on the bloody field either

Yep fair question. I think I meant I would be concerned about the effect on the team harmony with any quality player leaving unless it was done as last course of action to take.

That could do more damage to the Club than letting him go

Not for the first WC seem to think it's to their advantage to water the ground.As well, the worst and most dangerous exhibition of maggotisms for the the year Lots of high stuff let go as well every experienced WC (suitable) player thought it was his job to knuckle another player..

Does the AFL actually pay people to make decisions on replay moments of inconclusive goals? I could have sworn I saw the ball trajectory change and I'm partially 20/20.. yet it was a goal.

Carltons cap always amazes..

Depends on whose side they are on.

I thought that had happened already.

Look at Carltonpoo as well..

Players are trained to be dobbers??

Bloody Republicans

And he is smart enough to realise that as well.

I do think Umpires have an ongoing responsibility to protect the upper part of the body including the head and neck, just like rugby purportes to be doing, and probably isn't. A few folk on this site like to have a different perspective on things and that's ok, but there is no longer an argument that the Earth is flat either.

Umpiring is an inconclusive science based on negligible human error, or the fraternity would like to think so...

Well I don't agree. I'm not only referring to our games but all games. There are a host of retribution frees and frees done on whims and think it happened frees every week. Footscray get a myriad of frees winning or losing.

Just one small point it's not the number, it's when they are given, it's the consistency from week to week and rule emphasis to rule obscurity.

Yes, your right but as we both think he is really a great cognitive awareness player for us.Captain material, yes and there are others. At a recent interview one could see his insightful perspectives.Really we don't want to lose a player and club potential career member for the foreseeable future with this chap. Modern,savvy, well presented and very well spoken.

Where he bloody well likes..
