Would be ridiculous if he went for that, it was a block with an accidental head clash, not sniping at all.

It would but....players go for it. Vickers initiated a bump therefore it's his duty of care to ensure no head contact even if it's incidental. Will get weeks.

**** this umpiring has been horrendous all night. Not "lopsided-favouritism-horrendous" just plain old incorrect decisions and a few howlers

 

[Barrels]

I'll say it again... How the **** did we lose to Carlscum?!

 

[joop]

Alex Rance looked shit once again tonight.

Yeah, it wasn't one sided or that, just the umpires blew their whistles at everything. Put it away FFS.

 

[Mindtraveller]

I've never understood how you have different umpiring during thr finals. I know the 'better' umps are picked, but even thrn they seem to not use it as much.

 

[Rors]

Okay okay okay.... Seriously, when the **** did Rance become so ******* good?! I'll put my hand up & say I was very very wrong a week or 2 ago.... I haven't seen the Tigers all that much in the last 2-3 years, so all I remember is Rance basically being a taller version of Cam Shenton... Now he's a ******* freak!

My quote from last week.... You must have missed it

I seriously think we can roll Richmond at Etihad next week. Gotta make sure Jack Riewoldt kicks less than 4. They are prone to get ahead of themselves and drop games they are supposed to win. If we continue our pressure football that we have been playing for the last six weeks. I reckon we will win. I see Mark Maclure said 'that's no gimme for tigers next week'. I love that we are starting to get respect now.

I'd love to play them now. I reckon we are a 4-5 goal better side than them now. That's how much we have improved since then. We have some serious players. They have some serious duds. Cripps is good though. They actually got one right.

 

[psychosaints]

Jesse is on another level of shit

GOLD!

Richmond vs Blues VFL game on channel 7 at the moment. Barrels wonder boy Reece McKenzie done 1 or 2 nice things since I turned it on.

Xavier Campbell on Triple M before the Bombers game. Trying to spin like Shane Warne, getting treated more like Shane Watson.

"We dont need to rebuild yet."

"We will take a step back to move two steps forward IF it comes to that but we arent near that point yet."

"Losing Goodwin hurt more than people realise."

"I have confidence in those guys" - talking about Neil Craig and Mark Neeld.

"I dont believe players should have taken the ASADA deal of 6 months that was offered."

"We have a fair handle on what was taken."

"The players had a conviction in their principals that they had done nothing wrong."

"No timeframe on CAS hearing. Might not get a result until after trade period."

"We have record membership, record sponsorship. This has been under reported but our supporters obviously think we need to keep up the hard work on this path."

LO 'FN' L!!!

Essendon is in complete denial about their predicament. It's brilliant.

Gun.

He's definitely got a good set of mitts on him.

Daniher is the worst kick for goal going around

Ohhh what about Casboult?

Selfish to could have passed over the top.

Close call could go either way.

Very funny listening to the Flog Derm, I don't think he knows what he is talking about. How are we any chance to know what he is waffling on about ?

 

[Hayes4PM]

Reece McKenzie reminds me of Shaun McKernan a bit. Has more forward ability than McKernan but probably not as much ruck ability as McKernan

He's a space cadet. It's like he's in the middle of a coke bender.

In light of the truly awful spectacle unfolding at the moment, I was having a look at the Essendon game day thread. I noticed that down the side of the Essendon board, they have their premierships listed - 1897, 1901, 1911, etc. From what I can see, Carlton doesn't do this, nor Collingwood, and it symbolises everything that is wrong with that club. That mentality of, "We're Essendon, look at all the silverware we won in the 50's, 60's and 80's. Look at our past glories. We DESERVE success." It's that kind of thinking which has driven that club into the ground, and will continue to do so unless they change.
