It's interesting how the questioning of what that famous Shinboner spirit was and is now and I look at our tigers and Damien and the leaders of our club are stating what the Richmond man is. To me it's a good analogy for what clubs stand for. Obviously the reality is in the four walls of the clubs. As I think there is also the Bloods culture as well. It really is a interesting concept which only a few clubs have really sought out.

Gotta laugh. Weakley and co slamming the boos - fine, do that but FFS at least touch on why it happened! One way journalism at its best.

Whateley will never admit why it's happened, would involve admitting Hocking is wrong.

Weakley shits me to tears. Won't insult his Geelong mates at AFL house. Bloke is as weak as water. Gutless wonder

Hope Robbo comes in with a skinfull and goes bang!

No Slobbo is too devastated by the booing. He has “lost all faith in humanity” because of the booing. Yes, hes had a skinful but you’ll have to accept that tonight he just won’t be able to bang anything. Just too devo by the booing unfortunately. Poor bloke.

The state of the game is in the red zone bordering on being a disaster.
Last nights game was a snooze fest it's in a worst state than last year.
Hocking has right royally fu%#ed this game up the arse.

Hocking has disliked this post and kicked his Computer screen in and thrown it through AFL House front windows. He's also got a mate to do dohnuts through their front lawns.
 
Conspiracy theory - the removing of the boo is being led by the AFLPA. Umpires are untouchable. What odds now the players want no scrutiny from the public?

Hocking has done a great job :rolleyes: you just have to see which team is top of the ladder to know this.

The problem with HTB comes when one side is regulated for it differently than the other. The biggest issue that Richmond have with umpiring is the HTB rule. It seems to take so much for us to get a HTB paid for us whereas we get pinged for it easily.

For example, Prestia barely gets an opportunity to dispose of the ball and gets pinged for HTB after being tackled. You then watch an opposition player in the same match run after collecting the ball, go down to the ground in a tackle and then drop the ball. The umpire calls play on.

This is what we saw today as well. All of a sudden they stopped paying HTB for Essendon even though some of them were pretty clear. I just don’t understand this rule. Maybe they need to introduce objective measures in measuring prior opportunity such as the seconds a player had to dispose of the ball before being tackled. Either way, whatever we have in place now is inconsistent. There are many stakeholders of this game extremely discontent with the standard of umpiring and it is not entirely the umpires’ fault because they are obviously being directed by someone else.

There should be a pretty simple rule where if you've had a far bit of prior (eg.ran with the ball) and get taken to ground (like Crisp & Thomas) its ball. Ridiculous how you can get taken to ground and then if you handball it it's all good.

But then again maybe Gill should not get so many bonuses each year and it can be used on having umpires be full time, not part time.
 
Grant Thomas on fire on twitter. Just nailing it.

The rules are f****** black and white! The majority of fans can work it out. You try and take tacklers on or fend off, go for a run and get caught it’s holding the ball. Or if you are tackled and illegally dispose of the ball ala Sideass against us, actually anyone against us it’s illegal disposal.

It’s a clear bias towards certain teams directed by the AFL. I’ve said it many times before. The only thing that has ever been wrong with the state of the game is umpiring. It’s not hard! Umpire according to the clearly stated rules and the game won’t be as congested and fans won’t get so disillusioned with the game.

As for telling the fans they can’t boo f*** off. Who are you to tell fans what they can and can’t do. Without us you wouldn’t have a job and no club would be able to exist financially you self important campaigners.
