How the hell was that worth 2 weeks. The hit Gian put on Kosi was not deemed rough conduct but fractured his skull? What a joke.

If we are to maintain any credibility and not be an AFL whipping boy we must appeal.

Possibly GT could coach us to the flag - if Lyon has done a good enough job drilling his theory into the team. But it aint gunna happen so why bother asking.

Thought we looked better tonight without Max. Will cop a bagging for that one I know, but I thought our backs were more mobile and able to get to the contest. Jason Blake played very, very well.

Did not say he was not a champion, just a protected species. Lots of favourable treatment from umpires. Have a look a the game today and that is all the proof you need.

Protected species - gets away with murder. Gets tackled to the ground, held, lies on his back holding the ball over his head......and our illustrious umpires say no prior opportunity - ball up. what more can you say.

Well said.

Lady on the train said Matt had a shocker of a game yesterday. Heard Ross say in the media conference that Sean Dempster was BOG.

Have just had a look at the media conference with Mark Thompson. Clearly he thinks that they were dudded by the Umpires. What a joke! I think the free kick count was 22 to 14 in Geelongs favour, 2 of the dodgiest 50M penalties ever that both resulted in goals. Has the dropping the ball when tackled ...

When I left Melbourne in the mid 80's Geelong was known as sleepy hollow. Ho hum, nuthin has changed.

Love Max, lets face it a great clubman and player. We can say whatever we like here, but the Geelong game will be his watershed. Whatever happens, Max will retire at the end of the season. Blake is a good honest player that does not deserve the bagging that he gets on this forum. Neither does Max, p...

If the Saints ceased to exist, would you barrack for another team? I don't think I could do it - it would just not be the same.

Where journalists and media overstep the line and get the bad name they so deserve is when they overstep the mark of reporting on facts and stray into the area of their own (or their employers) opinion. This happens most regularly in Australia, that's why journalists are rated as the most dislike pr...

My favourite comment to such people is......if you think you can do any better then go and pull on a jumper and have a go........if not shut up.

fortius quo fidelius

GO SAINTS

Log onto Fox Sports and go to AFL videos - look at the match report on Saints v. North.

I just had a look at the footage on Fox Sports. IMHO I think King did not need to make the contact, but he did and that is all there is to it. I think 4 weeks is a bit much and it will be a hard decision for the Club to make whether or not to fight it. What cheeses me off though is the treatment som...

I must admit I thought Adelaide were coming good looking at the way they have played over the last few weeks. Neil Craig is a very astute and smart coach. They should never be underestimated.

Leave Bakes in - i know he will dish out something special for Gablett Jnr.

I thought the umpiring was of exception quality today, especially in the first two quarters. Exceptionally BAD.

What do others think?

Has to be Timmy Watson, especially when Essendon are playing.

Saw plenty of scragging holding tactics by the Roos today that was let go by the umpires. Another head high hit on Ball, Dal and Montagna held off the ball in the first quater, Kosi shepherded out from marking contests. Why should King be worried? Probably 2 weeks.

Cannot tell a lie. Twas me. Redraw the mortgage Friday, pay it off Monday, paint the house red white and black Tuesday.

A long time ago I played in a team that went through undefeated. we had a few close games in that year, but as a group you become frightened of losing, you will do anything not to drop a game, because you know you might then drop 3 or 4. I would hope that this mindset is starting to evolve with our ...

Thanks folks for the answers - cleared that up for me.

The Cats can be beaten. The Doggies proved that last week. Can someone answer me a question from that game?

Right at the end of the game, Brad Johnson went to run around and the umpire brought him back - why did the umpire do that - I dod not think the siren had gone at that stage.

I live on the South Coast of NSW deep in Swans territory. The Swans fans are absolutely spewing about him being let go. Great pick up for us, played lots of good footy for the Swans and was a gem last night, as was Milney.
