Sat centre/wing Docklands side and saw this happen three times on the wing. Not sure how many other times, eyesight fading. What's the call, 50 or no 50? Saints player 1 receives a free. As the free is paid the ball ends up in the hands on Saints player 2. Port player tackles, takes to ground and co...

Mike Sheehan and Plugger66. Sheehan’s top 50 deliberately controversial to further enhance his reputation as Melbourne’s top footy journo. All his columns are knee-jerk reactions and ‘voice-of-the-people’ rants. Useless. Plugger66. AFL apologist and probably non-Sainter stooge. Why do we eve...

Lets get the points
We all know how
Then face your fans
And take a bow.

Not sure if this has been mentioned {too tired to read !!!), why did the umps wear yellow tops with navy shorts when WCE wore yellow/white/navy jumpers with navy shorts?

To make it appear that an Eagle was filling a hole?

Let's not forget another recent retiree who my mail (not Aker) says also has serious issues.

Technically a free.

However, umpires need to stop paying frees, like the Roo example, where the player getting tackled rolls into the tackler's arm causing a high tackle.

Umps need to wake up to the tactic.

Is it only me that thinks the club are soft when it comes to challenging these decisions? One match (1 + loading - early plea) is a bit excessive for an action that occurs every week. The catagorisation of the contact as 'Reckless' should be questioned as it was partly due to {enter a qualified bio-...

Player Managers! Nixon, Kelly et al are the leeches on modern day football. They take 10-15-20% and provide nothing to the game. The million or so taken out of each club's salary cap should be spend in more productive means rather than expensive Italian curling wands to keep Ricky's hair in tight sp...

In defence of Plugger66, thequestion posed was only the second dumbest ever on this site.

And Milne. Every one else gets a second to dispose, Milne gets a tenth of a second faster than the speed of light (300,000,000 m/sec ?) .

What really S4its me is opposition supporters yelling ' Don't touch Riewolt, he protected ....".

If there was ever a player deserving 10 frees a game it's #12. Gets interfered with 9 contests out of 10.

Only warming going on is the AFL Bank Balance melting into Dimetriou's wallet. One point what million for running a competion that practically runs itself? Not too hard to pump yourself up and look good when; - Making sure Sydney is kept competitive through extended salary cap and p1ss weak tribunal...

What do people think of this idea. Each year one home game is scheduled at the G, branded to remember past champions, past players, fallen serviceman and club history ... . If supporters can only go to one/two games a year, then making this an annual must 'go to' event will be great to allow players...

Obvious that not many watch Port games.

Peter Burgoyne took over the AFL mantle from Wanganeen.

When Eade took over the Dogs they were rubbish for a few years while he re-shaped the list.

When Clarkson took over the Hawks they were rubbish for a few years while he discarded the talentless.

Let Ross Work.

Could it be because we've played nearly all our games on the concrete of Telstra Dome ?????? Essendon's injury list is just as bad.

Can anyone help?

In 4018 posts has Plugger66 ever said anything against the AFL or an AFL decision?

Just wondering.

Some work from coach-in-waiting behind the scenes?

Goodes/Not Goodes dosent matter. Never mind the intent (see Murphy), one week there is a duty of care not to make contact to the head, this week errrrrr, we'll let one slip. Like I said, never mind who it is , how about some consistancy AFL. Also change the rule if one umpire points a free one way t...

Kosi, IMO, is not suited inside the F50 the way we play. Where he has dominated is when Rucking/running free around the ground. No opposition ruck has the same motor. With the way the ball has been entering, Roo never stands a chance. By the time the ball gets near the drop zone he's been held, drag...

What have people been smoking? Trade Kosi and Roo????????????? You would have to be kidding. Yesterday the inside 50's were 58-57 (against). Differential similiar to every game this year. We need to change the way the inside 50 is delivered. Structure the forward line to a hit up lead rather than a ...

My opinion, yours welcome.

The ball did not seem to spin end-on-end for a lot of the kicks. Seemed to waft then float through the air.

For some players I deem pretty reliable kicking over 30m the ball just frubbled and swifted.

Out: 50m bombs into the forward 50. In: Kicks into space in front of a leading forward. Out (of the forward 50): Kosi, Roo. In (to the forward 50): smaller quicker leading types, removing the automatic thought process of 'kick it long and high - Kosi and Roo can out mark 2 or 3 opponents. Out: The p...

Any chance the umps celebrate the occasion, in a token gesture, by paying him a free in the forward 50 (for the first time in 149 games)!
