s**t rag is the herald scum
To be honest over the past 4 years i think our record at Telstra Dome is worse than in Adelaide
You sure about that
How can you blame the umps. 360 degree game that’s rules have always been open to interpretation and the stupid dumb campaigners at the AFL add more grey and more rules open to interpretation. The poor silly pricks trying to adjudicate the game are on a hiding to nothing
quite easily...they don’t adjudicate the rules fairly...last night and the night before were excellent examples of maggots favouring 1 team at the disadvantage of the other...HTB was easily paid against us...but play on when poort held the ball...or disposed of it incorrectly
rule changes don’t help....but if they are adjudicated correctly for both sides...we would t be so pissed off
it ain’t the rule...it’s the fair weather interpretation based on crowd pressure....

Hopefully he can continue to improve his defensive game, but not really what he’s in the side for. Can forgive him losing the odd one on one.
Na disagree. He can play his game but when it’s the time to defend you have to. Same with Dusty and anyone else.

any vids or they just make it up ?
too late now and he might have done a nasty injury but in hindsight if jackR keeps running at the footy, he gets the free... gray would have taken him out with illegal contact.
Dimma confirmed in his press conference that he is available.
CCJ not available until round 5 though.
Watch it over and over and you can't help but be pissed off. He didn't take the ball and get forced into it, did he? He actively dove at it to immediately handball it through the goals.
Should be pinged for that.
If he tried to take it, got hassled/tackled and had no option, then that's no deliberate, but he dove and took possession specifically to handpass it through. A lot of footy is judged on intent and that was his intent, to deliberately rush a behind regardless of what was around him.
The Saints game is round 5.

"Deboy was born in Adelaide, South Australia and attended Eynesbury Senior College. He grew up as a mad Port Adelaide Football Club supporter and admits he still holds a soft spot for them despite entering the umpiring ranks. He is married and resides in Melbourne, Australia."
The above is from umpire Deboy's Wikipaedia page.
He's an Adelaide boy and a "mad" Port supporter. Explains the one way diabolical decisions on Friday night. Does the AFL integrity unit still exist.

They conducted a concussion test on Kmac at punt rd today with questions they have from the previous tests he had done earlier in the year
It appears his IQ has improved 8.7% since earlier in the year.
He will play

To be clear, I'm not taking a shot at you K31th, just commenting on this part of the incident (applies, too, to that contentious deliberate out of bounds from the Prelim) because it's a bit of a pet gripe of mine...
These guys are supposedly professional AFL footballers with some of the best reflexes and hand-eye coordination in the country.
Yet people use this "he had a team mate somewhere in the general vicinity" argument to defend them for what amounts to missing targets by hand.
If they miss the player "in the general vicinity" by so much that that player not only doesn't get the ball, but doesn't even bother trying to reach for the ball as it sails past out of reach, then I for one doubt that there was any intent whatsoever to pass to that player and their presence is, to me, totally irrelevant to the discussion.
Forget giving a free kick away. If these guys are so freakin' useless that they can't even handball to within a metre of a team mate a couple of metres away they shouldn't be on an AFL list.
And if anybody thinks this is unreasonable, just watch what the very same players do around stoppages where they are expected to hit targets, under the most intense pressure, every single time and, for the most part, actually do so.
All in all, I don't have much issue with the rules or the way they are adjudicated.
I do find it kind of amusing that people will defend players for what amounts to missing targets by hand.
If this was happening consistently in clearances instead of "accidentally" near the boundary or goal line at moments when it just so happens to advantage the player's team, fans would be shouting for them to be dropped because of their sh*t skills, not defending them because "they were under pressure."
All that said, I know the reality of the situation -- it's a bit like players furiously punching the ball in a tackle. There's obviously no intent whatsoever to get the ball out, yet if they do it the umpire will be nice enough to pretend they're making a genuine attempt. We all know these guys are good enough to "accidentally" do things with a football so that it goes exactly where they want it to go. We're supposed to be nice enough to pretend we don't know any better.
