AFLW Umpiring

Is bordering on outrageous

Surely this game could be managed by 2 reasonable umpires and get rid of the mediocre ones

Re: Astute trading

Funny When you ask for diamonds in the rough, a mid gets put up not getting game time because of a 3 a grade mids in front of him, it’s slapped down as a terrible idea. It’s the very definition of a diamond in the rough Wood was injury prone, soft and terribly inconsistent before we got him on the ...

Re: Vale Kevin "Cowboy" Neale

Vale the great Cowboy Was my first favourite player He could make Moorabbin shake when he took off, and all Saints walked taller when he was on the field I had a summer job working in Ballarat in the same store as Val Perovic, (I used to try and get the same tea break so I could quiz him, this was 1...

None of the midfielders he names are anywhere near A Grade (why does the grass always look greener) Paddy Dow has played 6 good games Whopee! So did Luke Dunstan at the end of 2021.

Re: Potential off season changes and Round 1 2024 side

I think 8-10 changes is the optimum amount. More than 10 and you are losing too much of your team IP . I would nominate in no particular order as going Campbell Clark Highmore Gresham Connolly That’s 5 And then 3 of those who have never played seniors (don’t have the knowledge of their input) That’s...

Re: Bedford misses

Whatever the result of the appeal it is an absolute disgrace that he and his club have to wait until today (11 days after the incident) to get a result There is no doubt if this was a known (Victorian) player it would not have gone on like this There are times when the AFL system is ordinary (at best)

Did his calf in training (remember Paddy), gone for year

Makes the selection less difficult, I guess

Terrible for him, lets hope he gets a clear run in 24

Re: Dan & Jack Make Choices Look Hard?

Looking at their stats this year suggests that Butler and Higgins are a powerful combination: Higgins - 33 goals, 22 behinds, 11 goal assists Butler - 30 goals/11/11 At one stage they were rated as the best 2 small forwards combinations in the comp, they're probably still around that mark today.

Re: Changes this week

I like to see subs coming on and making some impact, especially when you’re playing for a spot in the team. Clarke was going through the motions, several clangers and had no impact. Wow, not sure what quarter you were watching 5 disposals at 100% efficiency (yes I know DE does not tell the whole st...

The worst umpiring decision ever

The handball to Cameron over the boundary line with 3 or 4 umpires within 20 metres

Diabolical.

Re: Ross, Membrey in. Clark, Byrnes and Caminiti out.

I can’t believe Hunter C is dropped, surely is now the sub Last week 20 disposals, 10 tackles (equal most), second most pressure acts And I thought was almost BOG in the first quarter, did fade in the 4th but not R Crusoe there If he is not sub is there another reason and if there is then it is adios

Quite entertaining

They are effectively the same (almost)

So try both, you have to pick the most obscure players who meet the daily matrix requirements

So N Riewoldt would not be a good answer but D Cunningham very good

Re: Coaches votes Rnd 21

Thank you for this post I thought they were strange when I looked on Monday

I was surprised De Koening got votes, he had some moments.. but votes?

Cripps 5? He was good but BOG?

But how could Wilkie only get one vote and one coach could not squeeze him in at all.

Further to this Both Crouch and Steele had over 80% TOG in 4th quarter, adding to my incredulousness Don’t get me wrong I like both players but if someone said to you before the game that neither would have a possession in over 80% of game time you would automatically say “well we can’t win a close ...

Right now there are too many questions re Jack Steele In the history of the game has there ever been a club captain/midfielder in such an important game collect no possessions in the final quarter It is almost inconceivable Add to that no possessions to Crouch amongst others… I look at the other cap...
