My issue with the constant posting about umpires is that there is no recognition that they might make a mistake as humans. It is always ‘blatant cheating’. I don’t agree with every decision made, but I recognize that we also get calls in our favor that may be wrong. Curly seems incapable of either ...

Two poor umpire decisions two goals to Brisbane


Steele getting held all night all good play on

You got vision of this holding or just guessing?

Terrible miss by Bonner, though, if it was 50 metre penalty why wasn't it Owen's kick? Actually thought that Bonner would have been better suited if the kick was 40-45 metres out. It’s either downfield to where the free was given or a 50 from where the ball was being kicked, whatever the bigger adv...

Please give it a rest, start your umpiring thread and post to your hearts content about the injustice you see

No in the back on Bonner

No to high on Wood


Laughable

Something is laughable, just not what you think it is

Good to see you are not hung up on these things curly.

Winning is nice but 2 top 5 round draft picks and LDU would be nicer at this stage. As long as we remain relatively competitive and don’t get pumped by 100 points every week. I don’t see how we get 2 picks and LDU, seeing he is not out of contract so we would need to trade. North would be wanting a...

He is an UFA at the end of next year when he'll be 28. Carlton are not going to let him go when they're contending. And we shouldn't be chasing him if it's going to cost us high draft picks. So he’s a RFA this offseason, therefore if he accepts an off Carlton can match it or take the compensation p...

Ironically Taken with the pick we coughed up for Brad Hill Brad is OK, but Serong will be a 12 year star. Which is why my rule is Never trade a First Rounder - unless it is for an u23 already proven star. Not quite, the pick we traded was sent to Melbourne with a few other picks for the pick that g...

Max Benier has been called up from the VAFA to debut in the VFL amid talk St Kilda has its eyes on the defender ahead of the mid-season draft.

We don’t have a list spot do we? Unless Van Es goes to the long term injury list

On first glance seemed a fraction long for his age but I think he has such a good mentoring role at the club particularly with the indigenous fellas that this can only be a good thing, even if he doesn't play out that final year fully. He has also been extremely durable so playing until 34 doesn't ...

According to AFL.com, coming up for a contract extension. Been great this year, would be his final contract. I presume it will be on slightly less money than what he came over on, also will be over 100 games for the saints soon (just in case any father/son prospect emerges down the track!). https://...

I don't think that I am the one being illogical, as it seems that you think that there is nothing being done on any other form of violence, which is simply untrue. It is also untrue to say that almost all the resources are being used to resolve 20% of the problem, as it is clear that attempting to c...

I find it fascinating that the original question I asked - "why is the community exclusively focused on female victims of violence/homicide when across the community in total 70% of the victims of violence and homicide are male"? The focus is entirely on 30% of the victims and "we sh...

When someone beats their partner because they're in a foul mood after their team loses, I think that means sport has already been brought into it.

When a men fight one of them sometimes dies. When men fight women, guess who dies. How many of your 70% of male murder victims were killed by women? I'm sorry, remind me again why the gender of the assailant is relevant? Dead is dead, and when you're dead, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter whether ...

Not a political platform

A sport that doesn’t exist in a bubble. Otherwise you are saying players can have Carte Blanche to do whatever they want, seeing societal issues have no impact on the outcome of sports.

Because they said about 120 games - which suggest 1 home team

I think it was more BT being fed a stat but not actually understanding what he was being told and then screwing up the explanation, he does it pretty regularly

Crowd pleasing umpiring - it’s been going on you decades WCE differential is embarrassing Port have had 500 more free kicks at home in the last decade When averages suggest it should be about even Pretty sure that stat was Adelaide and Port Adelaide combined at home in the past 10 years.

I think Ross is giving reasons/excuses because he knows what fans don’t want to accept. At the moment we are not that good, so rather than just come out and say that and lose commercial support and interest, he takes on the excuses that are suggested to him in the press conferences. I think he knows...
