Melbourne ain't winning this. Chokemasters that they are.

Called it.

And those last 2 goals illustrate why Melbourne is a gutless team and will never win a premiership with their mob.

They have all the tools to make it, but ultimately can't. Their psyches and finer skills are off the mark.

there was a contest when they were only two goals down prior to that ******* horrible effort that resulted in the soccer goal.

kennedy s**t kick across ground to a 2 v 1 contest in melbournes favour. petracca and viney vs redden.

Redden had a crack and slapped the ball to advantage, whilst the two demons efforts were marginal. Summed up their leaders in pure will.

They dont have it

The umpires changed the course of that game! It happens alot over here. Below is the free kick differential from 2003...

And Margetts has umpired in how many of those WC games?

Looks like North are pretty well looked after from that table as well, but in our case, mainly junk-time square-ups I reckon

The Western did OK in 2016 didn't they?

 

[The acurate one]

That was a rugby pass

was going to comment on similar, reckon the game last night looked more rugby than what we know as footy. Game isn't in great shape imo.

The umpiring has dramatically changed in the last 3 weeks.They're have gone back to 2016/17 where you didn't need to handball, just throw it and when tackled you could just drop the ball at your feet and scrum it forward.

Two great rule interpretations that should be brought back are any hand ball where both hands are over your head throwing it backwards is a throw, and any time you’re spun around 360 degrees and haven’t released it yet it’s holding the ball.

Loosening up on rules has slowly ruined the game. I blame the Crows for wrecking handball and Chris Judd for spinning around twice in a tackle before releasing it.

To be fair, he is an ornament to the game so free kicks against him should have never been paid.

Is Varcoe a protected player? Could end up with a week Durdin style

A year and a month (and a bit). Decent speed.

I think he gets less than he deserves from umpires. The are also mighty quick to penalise him.

I blame Bulldogs for the "drop the pill to your feet for a team mate to pick up when being tackled" strategy which has now been widely adopted and perfected by All in Sunbury.

By the skin of their teeth though.

White shorts rule looks like it gone cat vs dogs,north might go back too white with blue stripes and blue shorts,although I don’t mind the current jumper

 

[Flawed Genius]

Amazing how Ablett no longer looks like Ablett when you don't play someone who's playing their third game as a defender on him

Yeah I’ve noticed that with Geelong this year. No reason that we can’t go back to our traditional jumper then.

I thought Glassjaw Rohan was reported as concussed, thus Durdin's impact rated medium and therefore 1 week suspension, I just switched on the Geelong game and he has kicked 3 goals by half time, something stinks there.

Aaron Joseph shared his secret.

Aren't you supposed to get the mandatory week off Mutt's ?

Gee, hope he doesn't collapse after the game and get rushed to hospital.

Hawkins just got a free for... Im not sure what...
