A little bit more separation on the ladder for us, bit more breathing room. Thanks Hawks. Also great drafting in Ward and MacDonald. Looked the goods again today.

So much for the umpire/player relationship "every one loves and appreciates the umpires" schtick the AFL dishes out if the players
just run around mute and can't even question a decision in a non threat type way ?
Umpires can and will make mistakes and should able to be questioned (with no abuse of course).
Yes by all means stamp out verbal/physical abuse towards umpires but if someone asks a genuine question in a non threatening manner it should never be a 50m penalty.

What a game...
Well done Hawkers to beat Free Kick Geelong...
Hawkins should get a fine for staging, that was the worst free kick I've seen...

Funny - I thought the ‘umpire loving dawks’ received the better but yet another royal ride.

Yes, a player … a participant in the game, the reason for the game being played, the focus of attention, the people the crowd turned up to watch … a player, as stated several times already.
See your question from 3 posts earlier and the answer already provided.
Not me, was cooking tea for the kids. The buggers have already eaten twice today, don’t know why they need more.
Anyway, the kids need for another meal, and about a million other things, get priority over your need to hear the same answer over and over because you deliberately refuse to understand something already explained more than once.

Yes, turns out the player can be right on occasion.

and what about the other teams players? what about their case?

They also knew an error had been made, no complaints, one even chuckled about nearly getting away with it.
Strange times, people respecting an umpire who admitted to making a mistake and rectifying it.

so what happened next time you made a mistake? another kumbaya in the middle of the ground?

You don’t get to umpire the showcase game at the highest level without being good at what you do.
One obvious mistake, easily rectified, the rest was accepted as is.

nice wipe - it's a cute idea, stopping the game for every contentious free kick paid (probably 1 in 3) to have a brief discussion to help the poor entitled demanding player with his/her clarification issues - whilst the crowd is baying for even more umpire blood - then expecting said players to "adjust" a muscle memory skill they've been perfecting for 10-15 years (oh, so that's what you mean by push in the back! thanks, ump!) I only continue with conversations like this in order to show how umpiring expectations are way too high and the criticism of them is pretty much built on a platform of ridiculous, unattainable idealism......

I wish our players would wipe their muscle memory of giving up 40 point leads this year ...

Well, have been out for the day and seen that pussies have lost to the dawks.... My tips for this week are in the toilet, but I take perverse comfort in second half of the ladder....

After a brutal encounter (well, at least as brutal as possible for *), a draw would do it for me....

I don't like either side ever winning... such is my antipathy towards both side... if forced to choose, atm would rather * lose, but just can't bring myself to say I hope the other side wins. I know that logically saying hoping one side loses implies hoping other side wins... but I would prefer if neither side wins...
