    Maynard cleared by tribunal for Brayshaw collision

    Shirtfront gone. Bump gone. Tackle half gone. Now the smother under threat. Games becoming more and more like netball.

    Umpiring The State of Umpiring in the AFL

    Wanted the Doggies to win the 2016 GF, so no sour grapes in this assessment, but the umpiring that handed them a distinct advantage, especially in the second half was the worst umpired game that I have seen. Sydney were stiff in most of all the 50/50 decisions. Oh and the Haneberry " non free...

    Umpiring standards 2019

    Umpiring is no better. But in fairness to them the job is becoming more and more difficult as the F***wits at AFL house keep making more rules to complicate the decision making for the umpires. Not only are they having more decision to make with new rules , they now hove to be F******* mind...

    Jeremy Cameron elbow on Harris Andrews

    Would think 4 weeks is the starting point. Disappointed in Cameron as didn't need to do that , certainly not in the spirit of the game. For such a talented player Cameron sure has quite a arsenal of cheap shots in his repertoire. He does has form so he is obviously a slow learner.

    Curnows' Umpire Contact - why the different punishment?

    For me its pretty F****** simple you cant touch the umpire, no ifs no buts. Easy concept to grasp as a player... " JUST DONT DO IT ". If you do its a week...thats the base line. After that the discussion on intent, accidental , aggressive, whatever...... becomes stage two of the assessment of...

    Trent Cotchin bump on Dylan Shiel

    IMO Cotchin is gone. It wasn't a snipe or dirty act as others have alluded to, more so just the wrong decision in the spilt moment that caused the head high contact. The AFL have been pretty consistent over the last few year , you make the choice to bump and its head contact, then your gone.

    Schofield hit on Oliver

    Clayton Oliver pretends to be clocked. Tried to get one on these. Ended up with one of these. Moral of the story don't mess with this guy.

    Dean Margetts Bursts Stomach Ulcer

    Good question as it appears they have most of them on the books.

    Alex silvagni

    I know what your saying but its not going to be a good week to go to the AFL Tribunal after they pretty much got a bollocking from the AFL itself at the puzzling lenient decision handed out to Cooney, one would suspect that the blow torch would have been applied to the AFL Tribunal's arse and...

    Alex silvagni

    Dog act. Totally uncalled for . Intentional, head high, with force, off the ball. Silvagni that was gutless. I doubt the most ardent Docker supporter would approve of that cheap shot.

    Ballantyne sent straight to the Tribunal

    Good decision common sense prevails. Was a good bump and its a shame that it was sent to the tribunal as it should have never been sighted. You sometimes just shake your head and wonder just where the MRP is taking the game. If that had warranted a suspension then the game would be poorer...

    Buddys bump

    s**t..... the Swans live a charmed life. I actually don't think the incident was that bad but to see other players go for less this season is perplexing. The cynic in me smells........................AFL intervention.

    Podsiadly hip and shoulder on Sellwood

    Much ado about nothing. Game played hard and fair by both teams as it should be. I would be extremely pissed if Pods got in strife for that. Two guys going hard at it...neither flinch....courage.... its a facet of our game that makes it such a GREAT game.

    MRP: Rd 8

    Well I am obviously missing something here.:eek: Trengrove : 3 weeks Dunn : 2 weeks OK so how the faark does that work out. I am not bagging the Melbourne Football Club here at all its just that from an outside perspective the Dunn incident looks twice as bad as the Trengove one...

    Scott McLaren

    Well then you and he have something is common. He gets confused all the time.

    Umpire James - Retires

    Agree with most of the above. Mathew James was a rarity amoungst the umpiring fraternity ... an umpire who actually had a feel for the game. Always thought his decision making was outstanding. He didn't get sucked in paying staged soft free kicks. Seemed to have the respect of the...

    Re: Just make headgear mandatory Mate.... please give it a break. What's next.... we have our players looking like gridiron players. ? Accept the decision, you don't have to agree with it or like it, I certainly don't, I think its BS. :confused: But thats the way its gone. But I could not...
