GC's second half has been meh. if they weren't playing scrubs fc then they would probably be alarm bells.

after their first half they should be tracking for 100+ but now won't even kick their record for goals (22)
Honestly their first half was pretty meh too, disposal efficiency was in the mid 60s, it's just that they aren't facing much competition.

yeah also think it has to do with the fact they were right up there with GWS and Melbourne for rotations during the the NAB

as far as johnno brown is concerned the umpires are yet to get a deliberate out of bounds wrong this year. even after dwayne points out the contradiction
3 games in the Foxtel commentary team is quite supportive of the rule, mostly genuinely I feel. But I reckon they might have had a bit of direction to be supportive of the umpires in general, IMO it's just too even an approach for it to be spontaneous.

Given this new rule, and the inconsistency of other rules (especially the HTB) I wouldn't mind if the AFL released the video, that they provide to the clubs each year, and have it shown on Fox Footy.

After all they promote the game as being for the people. This would only enhance the spectators understanding of the rules as they should be interpreted.

Maybe that is what they are scared of.

Of course they won't do that, it would show the fans exactly how badly the umps are ****ing it up.

Thirty seconds into Brian Taylor's commentary.

"Sold some candy."
"Big boy (Buddy Franklin)."
During the Gold Coast v Essendon game I was thinking "Man, this commentary is actually pretty good, I might bother watching matches this year if this keeps up"

Took thirty seconds for me to remember why I hate Channel 7.
