The Bulldogs and Umpires: Time for a Royal Commission?

[danster168]

Thankyou, danster168. I see your logic but remain uncertain what to make of silence from an organisation that ordinarily leaks like a sieve.

If Melbourne was indeed North Melbourne, they would have waited even longer to change the rules and allowed us Mac Andrew.

I love that this stuff seems to bother danster168 so much, particularly the conspirarcy theories he made up in his own head. And the denial about the leg-ups his own club received in recent years is just the cherry on top.

 

[Deadly Darcy]

Glorious thread. Thanks to everyone for participating. Umpires rock my world

 

[Stabby McGee]

Not sure, I saw a dodgy free kick for them in 2004. Might look elsewhere

You to the demons, danster to the dogs, and we throw in our next ten years first rounders to sweeten the deal.
Please say yes

You can keep danster

It's common sense. Think about it. They changed the rules because the AFL knew it was an unfair advantage. That is a fact. They would have also known that Ugle-Hagan was going to be a top pick at least one year out from the draft based on recruiters/scouting reports/common knowledge. That is a fact. But they decided to wait until after the selection was made to change the rules. Fact. These are all facts that can't be argued.

Your assumptions about what the AFL knew are not facts

I believe the afl have actually addressed the fact directly as to why they've changed the rules so yes, it is a fact.

And the AFL changed it's mature age rookie rules after Brad Smith was denied a mature age rookie spot at West Coast but Adam Ramanauskas was allowed at Essendon. But continue with your Footscray conspiracy

Going on 74 pages mate..seems like it's not going to stop anytime soon either.

I do often wonder what Danster's life is away from the keyboard. That is, if he even has one.

Yes, and to be fair, about 73 of the pages are made up purely of your posts Danster....

I have a lot of content to go through

I literally predicted everything correctly when it came to the dogs. All season long.

1 qtr in and already +8

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Oh dear, here we go again.

What is it, 13-4 already??

 

[Werewolf]

Did you guys catch the two soft 50's Melbourne got??

 

[Big Sauce 21]

No but I saw weightman star jump

 

[Demon in Hell]

Did you guys catch the two soft 50's Melbourne got??

Did you guys catch the two soft goals that Weightman and Naughton got??

 

[Werewolf]

The Weightman one was a bit dubious I agree. I dislike over-umpiring in general

Wasn't dubious - it was a blatantly bad decision.

 

[Chism]

Umps have had a fair crack tonight trying to get the Dogs over the line. Gawn just been crucified and English getting the world.

Pity they just fell short and the Demons still to good regardless of the Umps attempts and another massively lop sided free kick count the Dogs always seem to win.

Dogs are a clear $1:05 favourite to win the free kick count in 2022 and good luck being on the right side of the count playing them.

 

[FastLane]

bulldogs desire is why they win so many frees
one might say they get their frees from desire

Who gives a s**t?

Don’t worry Margetts still plays for West Coast.
