Updated for Round 13.

Superb = 5, Well = 4, Ok = 3, Poor = 2, Terrible = 1

Justin Power has moved up to equal 2nd from 4th.

Stevic, Williamson, Gavine and a few others each slipped a few spots.

The overall mix of good games vs. bad games remains very constant.

Don’t know them but my guess is we are going to get reamed

And another night of baffling decisions.

Tiger takes the mark and then gets tacklesd by a Blue = no 50   

Grimes' 50 was only about 35m 

McKay's 'mark' came off Nank's  hands

Broad spoils and Codral shoves him front on, no call, Carlton goal.

[Tiger Khosh]

Again thought we did ok with the umps tonight. Many bad calls but we were on the end of some soft ones too for sure.

Voss post-game sooked about the Newnes 'touched' decision.


Carlton coach Michael Voss has conceded an overturned goal that would have brought his side within three points of Richmond "didn't look" touched from where he was sitting.

The AFL has ticked off the Newnes goal review. Comfortable the ARC nailed the call after they accessed high def super slow mo vision.  Jason Dunstall not so convinced about “jazz hands” Broad’s defence

I'm sorry but the jazz band stuff is borderline defamatory. That is rubbish by Dunstall insinuated Broad is cheating equivalent of a cricket player clicking their fingers when a batsman plays and misses to trick the ump of an edge.

Ball touched his thumb which knocked index then middle finger clear as day. Broad also claimed touched immediately

Really poor from any media person suggestion broad wiggled his hands.

[Andyy]

Yep he said touched straight away. No way of knowing the evidence would support this unless you knew for sure you touched it otherwise you just look like a cheat.

And to suggest any player has a finger wiggling technique in those moments is laughable.  He's not a robot.

The amount of throwing in the first 10 minutes of the Carlton-Fremantle game is disgusting. This circle work crap is a blight on the game. If you don't punch your fist through it it's a throw goddammit!

[Broadsword]

Throw throw throw throw ...

Getting absolutely butt reamed by the stuffers
