So why are there nearly always cheap levellers. When are we going to bring this major issue of umpiring into the open.I bet they want it, and so do the players and supporters.

Carlton instructed by someone to go for your free kicks in my absence, you'll get them..

If you had to guess what umpires fixations are going to be this week, try pushing in back and interference going for Mark. And o yes the new deliberate out of bounce...wtf.

Exactly right, except for Barassi. Because I say so..

No, C13 this is a hypothetical that no player would want to be viewed as..

Scenario.... Jacko goes to WC, First night training, hey this bloke left at drop of hat, so he is here for the money nothing else....not good look.

The Media must be so peed off with how good this bloody team is, never heard such a bunch of wingers.

Anyone see the attention Max was getting during his gut running from spot to spot. So we are saying here and everywhere that tagging is stepping up to keep good players away from the play, and is ok because the umpires are too absorbed with a myriad of other rule interpretations to worry about it, and just let the replays pick them up.Gimme a break, if it happens to Max and other good players I'll be on the warpath. This will not be a desirable trend to be happening all because of some two bit coach who hasn't got the cattle to keep up.

Wish I was there now. Peaceful beautiful undulating country.

Not a good week for the best and fairest Club in the League

Sounds like a vendetta to me..

Who keeps having a "rule of the week" raffle then.

I think there is a severe problem of interpretation at the highest levels, and it will be a WORK IN PROGRESS until half way through the season.

I'm thinking we will need to be close to top coming to last three games.

We play three talls against a tall backline in GWS

Brisbane should be making big waves about what happened to them last night. The Umpires weren't just bad, they were pathetic, non assertive, non sensical decision making, as if one decision was based on the speed approach to the ball, justified two hands in the back..

..and they reckon that Umpires don't change the result of games. This Coach and his brother clamping down on abuse of Umpires, from start of year.So the AFL and Geelong will stop abusing Umpires provided they are free to orchestrate their own wins..

They were too scared to even replay some of those pushes by the Cat mouth. Oh, it's OK now to kick out of bounce intentionally, if your Cats or Brisbane, and you're allowed talk back to maggots with impunity. Charlie is not the best forward in Brisbane's team even though everyone including the media and him, thinks he is.

Weideman drew a lot of attention from a spruced up backline of Port. Two multiple goal kickers in our forward half.

More continuous games for Weid, as per what half on this site said, and there's an MFC smokey for the BL.

Kossie was crucified tonight by Mr Bean particularly, as was most of the team.

I would pay Darcy Moore more to stay at Collingwood. It's like watching Mark Jackson playing in the backline. Lever , good comparison plus GF experience too.That said, Luke is not going to go anywhere at least for two years, and I would give him three.WC is a basket case and Freo will not make the eight.

Cognoscenti but wrong I hope

I like that "weed wacking". On a serious note, are the bloody media going to beat up every one of our opponents for the next five rounds until its statistically impossible for the opponent to make the eight?

You can bet he won't have clear undisturbed paths like he has managed so far, for the rest of the year, especially against back lines like the cats and Brisbane.
