That play on call when Balta was lining up was the straw for me. I think I am going to find other things to do with my time. Life is too short.

There is a scene in the amazon doco where Benny is discussing Dimma's performance. He says the thing to be wary of with successful coaches is hanging on for too long to what worked in the past. Hopefully Benny is having some serious conversations with Dimma about this.

Not sure why the players are not giving the sarcastic clap and "good decision umpire" instead of waving their arms about.

Dimma's presser - "we need our players to get better at extracting frees". This sport is ****ed.

You are right, all the money the AFL gets is due to the fans, media pay for broadcast rights because fans watch, sponsors because fans watch, fans pay for memberships, tickets and spend money at games. Problem is there is no AFL fans association (AFLFA) to have a seat at the table but if there...

Dee's supporting brother in law coming to town for the footy and staying with us after. Gunna hide the Tigers theme song doorbell in the spare room and trigger it in the middle of the night win, lose, or draw.

Tex's comments about Trent's purely defensive actions are just Tex trying to claim some moral high ground in order to assuage his racist guilt. He can safely be ignored or pitied, you get to choose.

You are right. I snagged a roomba from hard rubbish day that could be programmed to run around backwards, randomly selecting between free for, free against, play on, and ball up, every thirty seconds and no one would notice any difference.

At this point I'd be happy with a robot algorithm making onfield umpiring decisions instead of a human. They would get way more decisions wrong but would at least be neutral.

Meh

Port will beat us over there.

They treat our money as if it's theirs anyway. They took $2m off us this year to give it to other teams. Might as well go broke incurring fines it's not as if they can kick us out the comp.

People will say we were not good enough. And we weren't. But very few teams are good enough to overcome their opposition and that level of umpiring bias. We don't get the same 50/50 decisions that other teams get.

Getting outworked and outcoached.

Dude was a pita wasn't he? Never shut up annoying little twat. I thought the group was glad to see the back of him.
