Am over the Friday night debate which is being driven by certain sections of the media who want to see a rolling 6 - 8 week schedule. Yes the AFL ****** it up by giving Carlton more than 1 Friday night game but the rolling schedule sucks. The numbers are down more so because the game in general is hard to watch for a lot of people. I love the tactics and the coaching side of things so I always find something interesting to see but the game right now is not always that entertaining as a casual viewing option.

Also if I hear one of these knobs pushing for change argue that the Rugby League system is better I will blow a gasket. They stopped using the rolling schedule a few seasons ago !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BT is a dickhead. That free to Rowe against Buddy before - yes it was on the softer side, but you can't exactly just blatantly and deliberately throw the ball into someone's face when you're meant to give it to the boundary umpire either.

But no, BT seizes the opportunity to bash the umpires again.

Hibberd did exactly the same thing the week before last and they both laughed it off. Rowe certainly didn't think anything of it. Bizarre decision.

Turns out the rule says give ball to ump or drop it to ground, so clear free kick.

pretty stock standard time wasting free kick i would have thought. thankfully, as we all heard 2 weeks ago, Brian Taylor doesn't care about how long it takes for the ball to get back into play.
