Early days yet as it may not happen for some time, but I have a feeling any interstate club that plays against either the aints or the dreamons in a granny, will be r*ped and pillaged, ala the swannies against the dogs in 2017 when numerous 50/50 decisions particularly in the all important 2nd half were paid to the dogs.

Maybe something to do with the awfl's unwritten, they are way overdue for success rule!

We did get an apology re Shuey ducking from memory

I think it was like 6 months later.

The game has gone past plodding accumulators with poor foot skills. Crouch' had some currency once, not anymore.

Wouldn't make the gold coast team next yr.

Bet we have never received an umpiring apology

You need to complain about it first, not be "the bigger man" and run with shit like "the umpires have a tough job, but it all tends to even out in the end", as we do.

The Crouch brothers are 50 shades of Vanilla....if anything playing them is hurting their currency, clubs are watching them play.

Did Ratten say anything? Seems like they just fell over themselves to apologise.

Unlikely. AFL don't want the Saints around. They already rooted them against Geelong with the umps and rules allowing Chapman to play.

The Youtube of M Crouch mistakes last night on the Crows board is pretty funny.

 

[Steve Dore]

Compensation pick for what? Losing a player as a free or restricted free agent? Those compensation picks aren't linked to ladder position.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

They're really going for it.

 

[chachi11]

The umpiring last night was atrocious....Crows benefited mostly but those umps do need a good kick up the ass or sent to div6 ammos..

I don't think I have the time to watch something that long

Yes he complained

At a minimum he made it known in his presser he was less than impressed. Went about as far as he could withput copping a fine.
Ken just rolls over in his pressers.

 

[Steve Dore]

So the AFL made a knee jerk "adjustment" to the HTB rule after Clarkson complained and now Ratten has complained they are going to make another knee jerk "adjustment". Just leave the fecking rules alone you morons.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Gee sorry Nicks. We just didn’t give Tex quite enough frees to get you over the line.

 

[Steve Dore]

Remember after that game against Norf in Tassie when the umpires contacted the club to acknowledge they may have made a few mistakes?




No, me neither.

 

[tribey]

Bloody hell we are doomed

The overcorrection against the team because of our crowd’s inevitable raucousness is going to be brutal.

We’d want to be at least a 6-goal better team on the night, because Robbie and Charles are going to get nothing, while Jonas and Clurey will be on a hiding to nothing up the other end.

No, me neither.

The apology is so extensive they're still working on it.

Incoming reaming for Port in Saturday night to appease a Ratten

We should get in the front foot at our next press conference and make a comment along the lines, “we hope we don’t see an over correction from the umpires” Saturday night.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

This is where Hinkley should come out pre-game and say something along the lines of "It will be interesting to see how the umpires adjust this week after the apologies handed out". This will have them think again about reaming us. Be proactive please Ken.
