...and I would consider giving a spot to Melksham and just tell him to kick a few goals and see what happens..

Gonna need someone with a little bit of pace in the middle ie Pickett

Did laugh at this crack, very funny. He's got that sort of moniker, hasn't he. Love to have a Jakovich out there. Harmes will do.

The free kick stat only matters where and when they are given... like Carlton ..they are always in the Forward line. The fine line now between mark and free kick always decides play on or go back and take the kick.This is another fine line to which Club it is being given to. Reid last week kicked three straight which confused things more because that doesn't happen. In-between pushing Max in the back along with lurch the other ruckman. Yet they all say what a great player Max is ...how good would he be if he didn't get interference thirty times each game. Don't forget that if he goes too early he will be pushed or ridden and potentially in this dirty dangerous push in the back times we are in, it could easily lead to him getting knocked out or worse in the forward momentum.

Ok I agree and hope the ill winds of injury, injustices and imprudence pass into scant memory..... A good win would do.

It would be fine if it was consistent ,but it's not and it varies from week to week game to game and team to team, and that has a demonstrable effect on the game rules perceived consistency.

We're not them pal..

Fair enough, struggle with repetition sometimes. The thing is though as soon as the media get a sniff of us talking about Dynasty that is something the AFL don't want a bar of .Things like how are they going to be beaten? Ah I know let's brink them back to earth with a few crucial free kick decisions at a few critical times.Losses start, enthusiasm drops. What I do is look at other games and say why was such and such paid and not paid in that game etc etc. .

Is there anyone on this forum that thinks we were not hard done by LAST year by maggots.Well it's going to happen again because that's the way the AFL want it.

Three soft marks/goals and another for an unexpected goal gift by maggot no2, which he was duly thanked for, and we would have won by at least three goals ..

At least Papley thanks the Umpire No 2 when he gets a free kick in the Fwd pocket.I couldn't see any reason why our players would want to thank any of the maggots tonight.They were deplorable. The have it down to a fine art of seeing if there is advantage, which club it is and calling it or not. We got very few that positionally meant anything. By the way that maggot disguised a smile after Papley thanked him..

Well now that you've said " all of those things" I am going to have to do a little bit of writing...to come

Lately..yes

Pray tell, am I on the Demonland site..

He should easily win too........the biggest brown nose and the biggest pusher in the back and the biggest thrower and the biggest free kicker as well.Is that the criteria?

Didn't see the AFL intervene, apologise and tell some ex Carlton rabbit to pull his head in, when he called us cowardly.Albeit not directly..

Yes May got a little push as well...That bloody push does it's damage again..

Does anyone on this thread know how many of our players are ill?

By the way Oliver's tag wouldn't have happened with Harmes in the side. I also think there were a couple of other flow on effects in that game against Freo which we had the "inside info on" but didn't use it.

AMAZING DIFFERENCE WHEN A RUCKMAN IS ALLOWED TO GET NEAR A MARKING CONTEST..

Thanks Mick

In my opinion the Umpiring "Fraternity" need to have a look at the way they are being viewed. If money has no limit when it comes to other things AFL, Fix the game up from cheating or just have a free for all..

Petty I think was tripped by Lobb

Anyone else notice opp teams now not getting called for 15mtr short short passing and any other sort of minor interference.Also in loose ball play no frees paid to us but as soon as possession by opp they get the free kick or magically outside possession.
