    Maynard cleared by tribunal for Brayshaw collision

    The problem did not start when he was in the air. It started when he made the decision to leap into the path of a player running straight at him at full speed. Ok, he could have smothered the ball. That was one possible outcome. The other was that they were going to collide. And if they...

    Dustin Martin push

    That is a candidate for the worst decision ever in the history of the world.

    Goal reviews

    Why not get rid of the problem altogether? Any ball that goes through the goal posts is a goal - whether it shaves the post or is touched by the opposition. Every other ball game that involves "goals" follows this rule - soccer, rugby, gridiron, hockey etc. It would not change the fabric of...

    Throwing not being picked up by umpires

    In the first quarter of the game last night there were 5 or 6 instances where the ball was clearly thrown or simply handed to a teammate. To be fair, there was not much of it in the next 3 quarters but it seems to be a developing trend and the line between handball and throw is becoming...

    Shepparding off the Mark - Revisted

    Hate it. And I notice StKilda players have started doing it this year, notably James Gwilt. AFL should have stamped it out last year when it first became apparent. Not footy.

    Umpires did miss a few...

    Umpiring was good. I thought they let the Saints get away with a bit of egg hatching in the Pies attack in the 3rd quarter that in H&A would have been pinged for holding the ball but they were pretty consistent with it and althought the Pies did not do it as much they were not penalised...

    Push in the back rule was " ignored " last night by the umpires.

    No can't agree with that. You can roll a player just as well in the wet as the dry. You either pay them or you let them go.

    Push in the back rule was " ignored " last night by the umpires.

    I don't have an issue if they are consistent through out the match (don't know if they were last night or not). In the Saints vs Cats game, the exact same free was paid at the 2 minute mark of the 1st quarter and again at the 3 minute mark of the second quarter so they were consistent in their...

    Poll and Video: Post game Geelong V St Kilda. Was it a free kick on Mooney?

    Sure, it happens. But in this case Gwilt simply had 100kgs on his back and could no longer stand upright. He had no choice about hitting the dirt.

    Poll and Video: Post game Geelong V St Kilda. Was it a free kick on Mooney?

    I'm not sure with Cam Mooney on your back you really have much choice about being driven into the ground or otherwise. It would seem to me that one would naturally follow the other.

    Cop that Baker

    Thanks for sharing.

    The hand

    It was Riewoldt hitting Pears on his injured arm. No action against Riewoldt I don't think.

    Stevie J's Elbow on Baker

    It'd knock Didak out for a year.

    Stevie J's Elbow on Baker

    Yeah sorry. I hope he doesn't go, no doubt Baker would have given as good. Great game. See you in Septemebr.

    Stevie J's Elbow on Baker

    In fact my guess is he was aiming at the mosquito....did you see it....it was quite clear on the TV replay, just there.... Be very surprised if the tribe don't agree with you, Bakers face was just incidental contact on the way to the mosquito.

    Stevie J's Elbow on Baker

    I thought it was one that could be let go but probably won't be..

    Lenny Hayes - Touching the umpire

    Yes.!!!!! He should be sliced from his testicles to his throat....anything less is simply letting him off the hook.

    Kosi 4 Weeks, Hille - Cleared.

    Problem was he ran off the line of the ball to lay the bump.

    Kosi 4 Weeks, Hille - Cleared.

    I didn't see Hille incident at all. Thought Kosi's was about 2 -3 weeks. Stupid thing to do and he was just lucky he didn't really do some damage.

    The new Bump Rule - explained

    Well you know, we all get too hung up on things that in the grand scheme of things just aren't that important. If that's the rule....cool for school...not going to change my day.
