Last 1/4 free kick - rush behind.

[eliminator]

Agree with Pope. Morton clearly took that mark. Anyone could see that. Umpiring amateur at best. Fisher threw the ball in the3 or 4th quarter and it was play on. Pathetic

What a classy bunch we have become

What a classy bunch we have become

supporters, players on OERers

[Mr Magic]

Anyone else see Jake King almost get decapitated up forward in the last couple of minutes and not get a free kick?

[Dubstep Dookie]

Scott Jeffrey should be put into stocks and peeed on outside our game against hawthorn.

10 buck entry fee.

Money towards the ftf.

Everyones a winner.

lets put one of those dentist moth pieces in his mouth so it cant shut, and all scat in his mouth , and then wash it down first with pee then petrol and light a match

Dookie wholeheartedly endorses this product and/or concept.

From Hardwick himself

Much has been made of a couple of umpiring decisions, which went against us at crucial stages of the
match, but those sort of things are the 'uncontrollables' that occur in a game of football.

Umpires make mistakes, just as players do.  Sometimes the mistakes go your way, sometimes they
don't.   Unfortunately, it wasn't our night, but we'll move on because you can waste your energy
focusing on that stuff and it's certainly not going to help us beat Hawthorn next Saturday night.

thank stuff those that count can get over it and get on with the business at hand

Lovely backhanded way of reminding umpires how they screwed us ahead of Hawks match.
Nice move Dimma.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Very succint message to the umpires from Dimma, was McGuane's lesser suspension another way from the AFL apologising to us for that decision on Friday or will the umpiring fraternity get a directive from the Quiche that whoever is rostered on Saturday night give the Tigers the rub of the green.

LOL at the AFL's own DVD example on what isn't a deliberate rushed behind being far more deliberate than what McGuane did  .

Yep saw that on One week at a time. Murphy was on hardly any pressure compared to McGuane.

the only time a player would want to rush a behind is when he is under pressure. The rule does not make sense to me.

It's another stupid rule change but the initial reason given by Anderson for bringing in the change was to stop players giving up a point under no pressure so their side could set up again from the kick-in. Basically what Hawthorn did in the 2008 GF and what Joel did walking through points to run down the clock. It wasn't meant to ping players for what backmen have done under pressure since the year dot. The rule is pretty simple to understand as if there's pressure it's not deliberate but the problem most of the rules committee and umpire #29 on Friday night still don't understand the rule and how it works. That sure gives us footy supporters confidence doesn't it .

I want to get Geischen in a small room and tie him to a chair.

Over the course of 5 weeks i will inject him with A Grade pure Smack (starting with a gram a day),feed him kfc and prune juice,allowing him,"standing time" for a period of no more than 1 hour a day.

At the end of this fruitful period he shall be released back into the offices of the AFL umpires association,where hopefully he'll die in a pile of his own poo and highly toxic bodily fluids

LMFAO

Visions at the end of that fruitful period of him wearing a see-through jumpsuit he's made out of refresher towels, skull cap and cod piece fashioned from fried chicken skin, Dimitirou's steamed dim sim gimp ready for banquet
