Um really?So does anyone know why there was a game last night? Was there a specific reason or was it just for shits and giggles?

Um really?
Yes, really. I don't see what is wrong with the normal schedule of games considering ANZAC Day falls on a Thursday this year. What was the point of putting a game on Wednesday for no reason?
Hmmm they got 73k to the game, maybe thats itYes, really. I don't see what is wrong with the normal schedule of games considering ANZAC Day falls on a Thursday this year. What was the point of putting a game on Wednesday for no reason?
it's sport, everyone's a hypocrite.Don’t care if the boos were aimed at Pendlebury or not bombers supporters are the last ones who should be doing that sort of s**t after their tears over a drug cheat being booed
I’ve got no problem with booing opposition during a game but while they accept an award and speak is so disrespectful. Especially someone as likeable as Pendlebury. I hate Collingwood and love seeing them lose grand finals but he has always been hard to dislikeit's sport, everyone's a hypocrite.
That's all secondary for me. They booed during Pendles receiving the ANZAC Medal.Don’t care if the boos were aimed at Pendlebury or not bombers supporters are the last ones who should be doing that sort of s**t after their tears over a drug cheat being booed
You’re being a bit precious there, Doc. It’s not like they were booing during the pre-game ceremony, last post or Australian anthem. No one was even booing at Pendles for that matter. It’s obvious what their boos were directed at and IMO it’s the biggest problem in the game at the moment.That's all secondary for me. They booed during Pendles receiving the ANZAC Medal.
Complete lack of class on our solemnest of days to boo at that moment, but these are the campaigners who hero worshipped Hird and defended cheats.
Despicable club from top to bottom.
I know they were booing the umps, and there were some questionable calls, which were in their back half.You’re being a bit precious there, Doc.

That’s the problem. They keep f***ing with the rules of the game when their number one priority should be to fix the standard of umpiring. They’re making it unwatchable. It’s frustrating because they’re so inconsistent and incompetent. When the whistle blows and a free kick is paid, I often find myself wondering what the free kick was for until the umpire gives some half-arsed explanation of their interpretation. There is better quality umpiring at local junior matches because they keep things simple. I am dreading the day a dumb umpiring decision costs a team dearly.I know they were booing the umps, and there were some questionable calls, which were in their back half.
Given the way they were using the footy (Hai Shiel) there's no guarantee it'd have made a pinch of difference, but all fans would boo a perceived rough end of the pineapple from the umps.
Just think it was a little classless to boo during a medal ceremony that is meant to be awarded based on ANZAC spirit. I can't even recall the umps being there at that point. There's a time and place, and during the game and its immediate aftermath are that place. When SP is accepting his medal is not that time and Bucks was right to call it out.
The biggest problem in the game is the muddle the rules committee over the last 10-15 years has got the rules in, there is so much grey area now that umpiring must be bloody hard. Ran into one of the best umps the game has seen of years past Brett Allen last week and that was his sentiment too. He empathises with the rule set they've been given and expected to perform at a high level, not yet full time either btw.
exactlyThe media never seem to address the standard of umpiring as a whole. They’ll talk about controversial decisions and newly implemented rules but they’ll tread carefully. The system is designed to protect the umpires but they should not be exempt from scrutiny and criticism. They play a huge role in the game yet no one can say s**t about them. It must annoy the crap out of the coaches.
Haha i just thought of you when they mentioned he was in on the news.chef Hrovat a late in for his first game of the season. How many games has he managed at Norf? And how many more has he got in him? Was it 100 games I thought he’d struggle to get?
Don’t think he sees out 2020 unless he plays 15+ this year. He’s just a more skillfull Jason TuttHaha i just thought of you when they mentioned he was in on the news.
Hes up to 35 games, yeah it was 100 games and if he gets there hes your avatar for 5 years isnt it?
I think you are safe.
