You don't even understand (or willfully ignore) the point I'm making.
I've got no issue with you calling anybody a Dud - I've got an issue of you using a photograph of Richo or Ratten attached to your nick.

Ratten is no longer at our Club - yet you feel it's appropriate to continue to use his photo.

Uh... what?

You don't have a problem with me calling him 'a dud', but you have a problem with the medium I use to do it...?
Yes, the photo attached to your Nic is my issue, as I’ve told you repeatedly.
Cool cool cool.

I’ll just ignore the fact that makes no goddamn sense 😆
Whilst the focus is on your nic, the pic looks like the moment ratten realised he didn't have a clue.


Saints looking like a bottom 4 team in 2024.

Does being an arsehole come natural to you or do you have to work at it?
That’s not very nice or respectful.

But luckily you said it with words and not an image, which is different apparently 👍
It’s the esteem I hold you in
Of all the asses on here, IMHO you’re right up there with the worst of them.
That’s it from me.
I asked politely but you ignored my requests, hence my last response.
I’m done with you on this thread

No worries, it has truly been a bizarre little episode.

A bit of advice, next time you try to convince someone to do what you want, at least come with some reasoning that is slightly logical at worst.

But back on topic, 4 umps is better than 3 as it allows them to focus more on decision making and less on athleticism.

Move suggests AFL agrees umpiring is not good enough (refer Prof. Curley's various papers on this). Makes me wonder, where is the extra talent coming from, are we going to pay enough so they can be full time professionals (say, transfer money from legal and try not to have to run so many inquiries and court cases?), will we have set groupings of maggg I mean umps, and how do you stop over officiating or chaos when they start over ruling.

At least they are not talking VAR. Yet. Of course constant stoppages would mean more gambling adverts revenue - yes there could be even more. Hey, how about that, gambling on umpiring decisions, how many frees, where, when, what could go wrong.
