Ross Lyon seems to think that Kepler Bradley may have done an ACL during last night's game. Hope for his sake, it's nothing as serious as that, but if the coach comes out and says 'Yeah, we think it might be an ACL' it's usually not good news. Don't think I've seen this many ACL injuries, 5 rounds into a season, before. Worthy of investigation, me thinks.

They should be thanking them after Knight's goal bounced of the umpire and not paid. No review when it mattered. Gifted Freo the game.
Was a bad blue, but didn't cost them the game. They held it in the forwardline and got one a minute and a half later.

Also I don't think a review would have overturned the decision. The ball never crossed the line so, as I understand it, it could not be a goal even though the ump was what prevented the ball crossing the line.

To me it also looked like it was going to hit the post, it hit the umpire square in the middle of his legs which was about 6 inches from the post.

Suns have signed Martin on a 5 year deal. Bit odd I reckon. Although seeing as it only keeps him around until the end of 2017, it's technically four years as I imagine he already had a contract for this year.

For a player yet to show anything at all though, that's a very significant deal. Obviously he's highly rated but many highly rated players have failed spectacularly before.

I just saw that, and he must be really burning up on the training track. From the reserves games, he didn't stick out as a special player.

Dunno, looked to cross to me, hitting the top of his right leg and back in and down to right on the line. Not gonna argue though, I don't care that much, twas only Richmond.
