    Anyone have an invite code? Or at least a contact point for site admin? I have an old account which I'd like to reactivate but the site has no process for it :(

    Rules Umpiring Consistency

    Yes, that's exactly the point of the thread. The same action could get two different outcomes because the rules are ****ed.

    Rules Umpiring Consistency

    That might be the initial reaction, but strategies evolve. If taking possession becomes counter-productive, then stoppages will develop into tapping the ball to space for your outside mids to take possession. Seems better than the current crapshoot of "prior or no prior".

    Rules Umpiring Consistency

    Thanks, but I excluded parts (b) through (d) of the rule as they are not pertinent to the incidents described. This match rule is disjunctive meaning each sub-rule is independent and doesn't rely on the others. You can tell this because of the word "or" handily inserted in sub-paragraph (c)...

    Rules Umpiring Consistency

    Sorry, what's the relevance of a marking contest? 18.11.2 Free Kicks - Deliberate Rushed Behinds A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player from the Defending Team who intentionally Kicks, Handballs or forces the football over the Attacking Team’s Goal Line or Behind Line or onto...

    Rules Umpiring Consistency

    I've been watching AFL for 30+ years, and hopefully not the only fan incredibly frustrated by the inconsistent and frankly discretionary way the game is umpired in recent times. Almost every contest seems up to the umpire's personal interpretation whether to give holding the ball, holding the...

    NO TROLLS Jordan De Goey arrested for assault in New York

    Again, reading comprehension is important here. You'll note I never said all women lie. I actually didn't say anything about women at all. All I said was that a material number of complaints do not proceed because the complaint lacks credibility. That usually means that the complaint is...

    NO TROLLS Jordan De Goey arrested for assault in New York

    You seem a little worked up about this. You've now accused me and another poster of saying things we never said. Perhaps reflect on how you respond to challenging topics and opinions because throwing tantrums is not productive. Your offensive assumption that I "couldn't care less" about victims...

    Rumour Jordan De Goey In Strife

    You're probably right, they had such a strong case they withdrew all charges without calling a single witness and then didn't even argue that they shouldn't have to pay the defendants' costs. Sounds like a useful and worthwhile process on the taxpayer dollar.

    Rumour Jordan De Goey In Strife

    SOCIT units are a shameful stain on Australian society, the modern day equivalent of the House Committee on Un-American Activities or the Spanish Inquisition. De Goey (and his mate) have spent thousands of dollars and nearly three years in legal limbo answering to some sheltered workshop full...

    Jordan De Goey - alleged sexual assault, going to trial later this year. (edit - charge withdrawn by police, police ordered to pay costs. De Goey innocent in the eyes of the law) Toby Greene - bashed a security guard with a weapon causing permanent injuries. Murray Newman - bashed a guy at a...

    Sydney Stack Discussion

    These two were very close if Stack's instagram is anything to go by. Can be quite rough on the mindset, regardless of liquid intake.

    Sydney Stack Discussion

    Why troll? Given CCJ has shown less than McBean while Stack has generally been best 22 for us since we picked him up, I tend to agree with this take. CCJ should be on a lot thinner ice than Stack.

    Coach How many premiership medals would be presented to a premiership-winning player-coach?

    Yes, looks like you're absolutely correct. I recalled after the 2016 grand final Luke Beveridge gave his medal to Bob Murphy, but apparently that was his Jock McHale medal. So I suppose in this scenario Matt Rowell would get 1 premiership medal and 1 Jock McHale medal. Thread resolved, thank...

    Coach How many premiership medals would be presented to a premiership-winning player-coach?

    There is a pretty impressive list of premiership player coaches over the history of the game, admittedly none since 1979: 1897 Essendon George Stuckey George Stuckey 1898 Fitzroy Alec Sloan Alec Sloan 1899 Fitzroy Alec Sloan Alec Sloan 1900 Melbourne Dick Wardill Dick Wardill 1901...

    LIVE Picture from inside Adam Treloar's home

    The guy said: "A lot of people might think I'm silly because Richmond have a lot of good players but I think Collingwood have a better list, a younger list, who in a couple of years time can hopefully win a premiership". Pretty measured and reasonable comment in a live interview. If you think...

    LIVE Picture from inside Adam Treloar's home

    Reckon we could cool it on Treloar here? Memes are memes, but you gotta feel for the guy. Let's be honest, the guy has never even said anything disrespectful about Richmond. Seems like a ripping guy who maybe wouldn't be the best list analyst. Wish him all the best and hope the pies don't...
