    Grand Final Umpiring

    Have to agree. A certain Mr. Goldspink was probably the worst of them. How come Brian Sheehan, the most experienced GF umpire was left out of the main three. While the majority of the dodgy decisions favoured ess, I must say that they must go back to the drawing board on what is classified as...

    Michael Long: You are a disgrace

    All great teams have great team members who fill various roles in the team. Wallis' role is not to be a skilled backmen rather to fill the void of toughman.(Not a good choice of word.)His role is to make sure that the backline is not intimidated by cowboys. I resent your ill-informed assessment...

    Was that the most boring grand final ever?

    Everyone seems to be forgetting that Mel rorted the salary cap a fair bit more than Ess and yet got a lighter penalty than Ess. Ess were penalised only last year and yet were still good enough to win easily this year. The actual rort occurred seven years ago which hasn't had much impact on the...

    Melbourne's future- promising or maybe not?

    I have heard a lot of comments congratulating the Dees on making it into the GF. I have also heard a lot about a promising future in store for them.eg young players .... but is it going to happen? Isn't it interesting to see sides compete in Grand Finals, only to fall off the pace the very next...

    Wanna hear a funny story?

    Don't worry Bluey, I did something pretty similar, except I did get to see all of it at a pub. I actually taped it on our VCR with a timer, but the freakin clock hadn't been changed for freakin daylight savings. Stupid Olympics! Now, I guess i'll have to buy the freakin official video just so I...

    Bombers President is an idiot

    Have to say, as an Ess supporter, I didn't catch on at first until now. That's pretty disgraceful. I hope the person who would be directly affected by it and their family weren't watching. I hope he apoligises in private to the person and their family.

    Round 20... I'm literally salivating...

    Interesting match The last time essendon lost was to carlton and the last time carlton lost was to essendon. Ess only won by 24 pts last time but should have won by more. Still, I don't think ess will give up the chance to create history and win all the games.

    Anyone for a game of basketball?(oops I mean AFL)

    Not bad, not bad.... I think if you're going to leave 2 in the 50 you might as well make it so that the defenders have to be in the 50 as well. Might be a little like netball however.. Hey, I wonder how long it will be before we name tags marking a players position. Hmm. might be a bit too...

    Anyone for a game of basketball?(oops I mean AFL)

    I am not encouraged by the solid belief that eventually a coach will be able to counter flooding because it is darn near impossible. The only way to beat it is to bomb in goals from outside 50m and pray they go through. That isn't likely to happen as accuracy hasn't exactly improved since the...

    GST in Football

    Kennett was a great leader. In case you forgot, Victoria was absolutely stuffed when he was voted in. He fixed the state and balanced the books. There is nothing wrong with privatisation because why should governments run everything? They aren't as efficient as private ownership. We probably...

    Anyone for a game of basketball?(oops I mean AFL)

    Has anyone else noticed the increasing trend towards basketball in AFL. First of all, the incidences involving throws has increased. I reckon players are instructed to throw the ball if they can't handpass because there are heaps of throws a game while those umpires are blindsided to it or don't...

    Trade Rumours

    Blumfield staying at Ess for the enviro was only half of it. I'm not sure but didn't he say that if he didn't go to Syd, he'd go to Coll? I think a main factor in this is the talk which sheeds gave with a little more money sprinkled into the contract helped a lot. I reckon this was the reason we...

    Blues are the best in the AFL, at the moment

    I think the argument that Carlton are better than Ess is debatable. While everyone looks at Sundays match with awe, the fact is that Carlton still suffered a fade out in the second half(mainly third qrt). A trait which has been popping up in their matches. Sure, their attack looks good. But that...

    Why do people hate Bruce?

    How can people like Hudson? What he actually says is okay but that shrill voice of his really gives me the sh^ts. I was watching commentate Gee vs ? at SS earlier in the season and when Burns kicked a good goal, he got so excited. Trust me , when he warms up that voice of his, noone will wanna...

    Why do people hate Bruce?

    A lot of people I have talked to all hate Bruce Mc. I don't know why. I reckon he is easily Ch 7's best tv commentator. He is very good at picking up the tempo when the action is fast and furious. I haven't seen him commentate too many sh^t games. He's very consistent and not influenced by bias...
