- Topic: ok, can we go to court?
- Replies: 14

I think the problem we will face about going to court is similar to the one that we faced with the Sirengate affair. The AFL administration is a total mess ATM and natural justice gets denied to clubs (and not just us) on a daily basis. Any club that decided to take the AFL to court on one of these ...

Come back Brian Collis all is forgiven
(And I don't mean the oddball and infrequent poster who uses that name!!) It was hard to believe that the AFL could ever have come up with a worse tribunal system than the old one. But, since at least the Barry Hall decision in 2005, we've all known that they did. They just keep rewriting the rule b...

oh god we all know baker hit him in the face he deserves to be punished get over it lets be honest here baker isnt the stopper he once was he is easily replaced I understand that people are upset, but this poster probably has a point that - on this season's form - Bakes isn't going to be quite the ...

SENSaintsational, I normally like your stuff, but this argument is a load of garbage. As for your comments about Ackland and McGough: are you just stirring or do you really believe that, if we had passed them up and recruited draftees with picks 33 and 49 at the end of 2004, we'd have had a premier...

SENSaintsational, I normally like your stuff, but this argument is a load of garbage. If the Ted Richards example isn't enough to undermine your point, what about Brent Guerra playing for Hawthorn or Brad Ottens playing for Geelong? All clubs pick up recycled players from time to time: look at how w...

We have a rather naive and inflexible coach, a difficult and in many ways unsuitable game plan, we have a few injury problems (but probably no worse than any of the other finals contenders, perhaps bar the Swans: although Kenneally and Hall don't seem anywhere near right to me). Nonetheless, I recko...

Plugger66 I don't have anywhere as much faith as you in the MRP-Tribunal system: I just can't get over the decisions that allowed Barry Hall to get off in 2005 and Daniel Kerr in 2006. Nonetheless, I agree with your general point: the AFL is not biased in handlling these sorts of cases, it's just in...

It's depressing, but only to be expected, that CJ and Attard are being considered to replace any of Harvey, Ball and Baker who aren't available for the Eagles match. I guess Attard has the strongest case, having been selected for 19/20 matches so far. But I can't see how he could possibly be conside...

Congratulations This is the best joke thread we've had on here since Riewoldting's mighty effort the other day.

Re the umpiring generally. I thought the game yesterday once again demonstrated that more umpires = more free kicks. The older umps who have grown up under the older system still keep their whistles out of their mouths most of the time: but the younger brigade just seem to be enormously gung-ho, and...

While I am not at all enthusiastic about more rules changes, I thought the Farmer incident may help in the long run to force the AFL to have a look at the play-on rule (Gram was pinged in a way that also annoyed me a couple of weeks ago: although in his case this was after a free kick and the ump ha...

I think that some of the paranoia displayed on this forum about commentators is way over the top. However, I must agree that Lane - for whatever reason - really does seem to hate the Saints like poison. From some of the things he says, I have drawn the conclusion that he thinks in particular that we...

FWIW it looked to me as if we kept our players in the midfield and inside our forward fifty on more occasions that against other teams. . That is only becuse we move the ball more accurately and swiftly. GtTain for example still ran down the ground....did you not love that spin in the middle with d...

FWIW it looked to me as if we kept our players in the midfield and inside our forward fifty on more occasions that against other teams. And, for that matter, Freo also didn't flood as much as some of our opponents do. But we still saw a fair bit of Gehrig and, especially, Riewoldt running around in ...
