While this promotion has been running in the last few years, we haven’t really had a player who was well known enough and distinctive enough to be a mini legend.
Matt Parker has only played 2 games but I reckon he’s already better known than some who have played 50 or more. And he’s certainly...
So when Steven Baker copped 10 weeks for incidents with Steve Johnson part of it was due to "unreasonable and unnecessary contact with an injured player"
Now Johnson drops his knee on Thompson's chest and he gets off because it looked worse than it really was as Thompson was carrying an injury!
After being extensively used in the AFL and successfully adopted in world class cricket, the much talked about Hawk-Eye vision arrived at Flemington racecourse on Saturday.
With the AFL using Hawk-Eye to assist in close shots at goal and Twenty20 cricket making it part of its umpiring armour...
It was deep into the last quarter on Monday night so it probably made no difference, but Tuohy marked a short kick from Simpson near the goal line. He went to play on and realised Riewoldt was bearing down on him so he ran over the goal line and conceded a point. I'm sure they have said in the...
What sort of anal retentive pedants are doing the video reviews?
The Saints Freo game wasn't a game of footy, it was a celebration. Everybody in the ground wanted Kosi to kick that goal. The umpires didn't call for a review, none of the players called for a review, channel 7 didn't show...

Also interesting to see that the "borderline racist" comments made by a Saints fan in 2011 have been retrospectively upgraded...
Channel 7 are doing interviews with Alan Richardson in the Port box during the game. He mumbles a few cliches but his mind seems to be somewhere else.
Is this one of the more useless innovations that the broadcasters have introduced?
Just saw an ad on Fox Footy with Nick Dal Santo talking about his favourite lefty (Michael Long) followed by a logo promoting Lefty Round in Round 20.
Did I imagine this?
Is it a joke?
To be held in conjunction with world left handers day.
I've googled and searched this site but can find...
For those decisions that are obviously wrong and they can review and change quickly.
Like that one tonight where Lewis Jetta kicked it out on the full and the goal umpire called it a point.
Thanks Geesh:thumbsu:
Someone has suggested on one of the Multicultural Round threads that there should be a Barry Round which obviously would celebrate all players with the name Barry.
I've saved the AFL some time and done some research so they can put this together for next year. From an initial list of 20...
Great win from the Dees. Last v first, come from behind, first win of new coach etc. etc.
Within 10 seconds of the siren sounding, and no sign of Channel 7 going to an ad, ESPN decide everyone really wants to watch Pardon The Interruption - Australia with Sam Kekovich and some other guy...
This relates to shepherding in the ruck.
On Saturday night Rhys Stanley was playing in the ruck and Ben McEvoy was up in the forward line being picked up by Rivers. At a ball up in the St Kilda forward line, Rivers held his ground and stopped McEvoy getting to the contest and was penalised...
Now it takes four umpires and a conference before they can make a wrong decision.
The out on the full against Hampson tonight when the ball obviously came off his upper thigh or groin and four of them had to get together to decide it came off his shin.
Just let one guy make the decision...
I didn't see much of the game today but I did see in the first quarter a holding the ball decision against Richmond. Second tigers player goes to pick up the ball after it spills, decides against it when the whistle blows and then Betts strolls through picks it up and runs into an open goal...
Last night the Crows scored a total of 24 points.
In each quarter the Saints scored more than 24 points. I'm sure this has happened before especially in the early years of the VFL but when was the last time it happened?
What is the greatest number of wins that has been preceded by or followed by an equal or greater number of losses.
eg St Kilda from round 10 to round 19 in 1987 went LLLLL WWWWW. Has any team done better / worse than this?
All quotes from this article.
The "Animals" game was round 7 1978. Neither Muir or Andrews played and Sheedy was still playing at Richmond.
The game was at Waverley.
Sounds like Barassi got lost on the way back from Newport. The race was in Septmeber 1980.
Did I imagine it or was there a thread on here about liveafl.tv that just disappeared?
Some people were going to report on the quality. I know yesterday's game wasn't available in the UK or US but someone in Europe must have watched it.
MODS, these are not illegal streams being discussed...
According to

That is just all kinds of wrong. And totally disrespectful to the Dogs. I can only hope he has been misquoted.
I was frustrated all night with Channel 7's ability to show anything but live action but two incidents in the last quarter were especially of note.
A replay was being shown of either the interchange infringement or Hawthorn's reaction to it. At that stage there is seven points in it with 2...
