Do any of you seriously think that while the ball is being thrown in, Montagna goes out of his way to rough-up an injured player? No way.
I can't believe this…

Curnow is standing directly where the ball is about to be thrown in, Montagna is setting himself for the throw-in and bumps into him VERY lightly in the MID-RIFF - not the shoulder. He's not attacking a player who trying get off the ground. He's getting ready for a stoppage - where Curnow is standin...

They have to appeal this, I just watched this again, The reason he bumps into him is that the ball is being bounced… like every other stoppage. At that stage there is no way that Curnow is trying to leave the field, this happens later when a trainer waves him off. Montagna doesn't even touch his s...

I also think that Armfield should have been pinged for holding the ball last night when he took possession and proceeded to charge it through our goals for a try…
There was absolutely no attempt to dispose of the footy.

If you take possession of the ball right near the line and players are coming at you, you do not have much choice but to move away from the players putting pressure on. If the ball is on the ground near the boundary line you are not allowed to tap it over the line. The exception to this is when you...

Sad that he missed basically a whole season through ridiculous suspensions - the farmer one (a sheppard with his back turned), paved the way for an insane sentence for the johnson one.

He's not quite done yet, so let's enjoy a bit more of his nuggety best…

I quite often feel dudded by umpires, like last night, but really… it is such a hard game to umpire, i would not like to do it myself. I find it strange that the football public in general are absolutely outraged when they make mistakes... they can't see it from every angle, they can't watch all t...

He could have 'contested markicitus' from the brisbane game…
Hope he is alright regardless

what about the guy called farren everybody?

Agree with you here, Peake included, though I think Gwilt is going well enough, with the amount of ball going into our backline we have defended pretty well generally.

i would like to see the following. finals this year or not. depending on injury/suspension. OUT: Blake, Baker, McQualter IN: Dawson, Polo, Ray B Dempster, Dawson, Gwilt HB Clarke, Fisher, Gram C Goddard, Montagna, Gilbert HF Ray, Rewioldt, Scheinder F Siposs, Kozi, Milne R McEvoy, Armitage, Dal San...

I was shattered last night…
But really I reckon there was more to be gained from losing with Steven, Cripps, Sippos, Armitage, in the side than winning with Gamble, Peake, Eddy and Polo in…

So, everyone wants Blake out of the team to be replaced by who? An experimental Irishman - did anyone see Setanta last night? Dawson is quick, tall and very good spoiler, his foot skills are questionable, but he is the only real full back option at the moment. Waite took 11 marks last night, maybe D...

The value is that we saw an inspired comeback, against a very good side. They gave it absolutely everything, it's an oval ball which bounces strangely, it was a great game of football, we didn't win, you can't ask for more If you only pay to see them win, find a new team… IMO - Last night was much...

There's not a huge difference in the way we are going now,and the way we went for most parts last year. Last year we just scraped over the line in most of the games. This years games have been similar,except the toss of the coin results have gone the other way. No Lenny,and BJ and Roo playing poorl...

yes - massive knob.

OUT: McQualter, Clarke, IN: Ray, Dawson We'll need as many tall defenders as possible with Buddy, Roughhead and now Renouf kicking goals + Hale? Steven is teetering IMO, maybe he could have a rest for Lynch this week… I get frustrated as hell at Jones's kicking, but after half time last night he a...

Tonight broke my heart, but there were plenty of silver linings… Kosi was good, if Stanley ever makes that much impact on a game (of AFL) then I will consider his worth in the side, until then Kosi plays when fit. McQualter's career must surely be over now, as is Raph - they should not be picked a...

Get stuffed all of you who were certain we would lose by 10 goals...
Why don't you cone back again next time we look like winning a flag, the club doesn't need your bitter dribble, go follow Richmond, now they are on the up.

Apparently Leigh's has a corky in the calf…
should only be this week…

I'll tell you one thing, Collingwood and Geelong would be very happy to see us miss the 8. Although we are playing some awful footy at the moment, we have beaten both of them with the same list we have now… Early Days I don't think we will be showing up on the Pies or Cats radar at the moment. Th...

Whatever happens tonight, I'm just really glad that he is in ahead of Gamble. I don't mind recycling players (as back-ups), as long as it doesn't hinder the progress of the younger guys.
Fingers crossed he gets to sing the song tonight!
