Willmoy1947

Most clinical win of year so far. Harmes and Rivers most effective players on ground. The dogs had no idea who to go to.

I'm so worried , i'm going to read this topic blindfolded...

"Lies, damned lies and Bloody statistics" poetic license..

Numbers 12 and 23 in Maggot yellow...

Thanks for that Mauriesy, there goes my book

GF tomorrow night??

This is a mob of course being overwhelmingly supported to the "hilt" by the Media as a whole who, while being openly ambivalent, are being covertly contacted and subsequently purged (to use an old Soviet term) by the Fed....

Agree and just add to left field........Weideman in backline somewhere.

AFL Rule apparently no spitting, talking or breathing during game by Bulldog

They have to do more than just testing there today. Has to be every day for a week at least. Embarrassing scenario of maybe the two bottom teams playing off in the GF

And by the way up in maggot town i haven't seen anything on the notice board that says i didn't think anyone touched the ball sorry.

We were being crucified all afternoon. There has been plenty of other non intentioned oops out of bounds that were /weren't touched /deflected to the enth finger size. They were still paid intentional.... Humbug, said the good sir....

Whether this has been said or not. Now is the time to start as many players as is feasible being given opportunities to go through our Senior Side and have as many as possible with the experience and stamina before the Finals.

You're right and i hope it doesn't pan out like that.

Don't see it that way, no deflection there. The only amount of time that Adelaide bloke had, was to make sure it wasn't a behind.

...and would love to kick a few against his old club Let the other two just sit and watch.

Just watched the last few minutes on AFL web site they do not include the main cheat bit, but they did include the holding the ball and the mark by Tex from the back of the stand..

The crux of this situation is in previous years because we used to lose by so much it was just another one, this year and these games are different. We are a better team. We deserve to be treated like Geelong and Hawthorn of past years and they would demand it. That was an absolute disgrace and the Club, not the players should bring those bastar@@ down to training and ask them why was this, and that not given . The coach of Geelong or Richmond would be rightly on the phone saying that decisions by any future umpire of their games does NOT get paid. Whether we are playing in Moscow or Manchester... or Melbourne

After that decision how HIGH was the ball thrown in the air by the same umpire at the last ball up before the finish.I think you will find that it hardly was thrown up high at all, preventing anyone from knocking it through for even a point.

Not overly sure about some of these points. I don't call keeping people out of contests manning up. Nor do i call manning up elbowing deliberately in the back of someone. The whole dimension of our team is to be pleasant and flowing when tactical plays come off. The lack of spatial awareness may be demonstrated when plays are stopped in their tracks by frivolous, stupid, incompressible decisions that are issued very early in these type of games , and mind that these will happen again. By that i mean that if we get penalised early in games set plays can go out the window as not to be followed and I'm being kind about the word decision One consequence was that our Oliver on ball brigade had to go and get their own ball Umpiring standards early in games sets the tone for the whole ebb and fluency of the way we play, throw in a few rubbish decisions and things don't work so well I know this has to be overcome and i look forward to next week, but i i don't think a loss in a rabid atmosphere like yesterday by one point is a major issue. Weed is a little bit of a worry at the moment.

There was more than just a couple of free kicks not paid in this game. There is a pattern of hatred of our team by Yellow maggots. They go slow to blow the whistle. They go slow to pay in possession. They cannot even be fair about out of bounce rules. The rules that are out of control the most is around the neck , pushing and shepherding players off the ball. The whole spectrum is spoilt by incompetence, or not enough visually aware umpires. We had to lose to any team sooner or later, but to lose to a bunch of cheating Maggots is another thing. They should not just be penalised by going to umpire up the bush, they should be fined for bad sportsmanship and have to pay hefty fines. They talk about players wagering....

Anyone know anything about some laser lights flashing every time Max went for a mark?? Anyone know anything about whistles been broken because they were stuck up the wrong place?? Anyone have any idea what words were being spoken by Walker when Fritz was going for goal that warranted the Maggot to say stop with the abuse..

Yep, i thought about it before i said it on print, but we really need to do something about Australia's social framework and a fair bit of it centres around acceptable violent clashes in a certain sport and it has a flow on effect into social and criminal activity. I think it would be a great subject for a "first experience" person to construct a thesis on, but it will probably not happen my lifetime, meanwhile the Magistrates Courts and others get clogged up with good behaviour bonds and restraining orders.

In my op Rugby, the Game, should be removed from the Victorian landscape altogether. I'll go further, should not be included in school syllabuses. Should be mooted as a dangerous contact sport and social DE fabricator. All Governments and Medical Advisory Boards should open their eyes and realise what a risk to society as a whole this is.
