Oli Henry is having a shocker.

Noble is a fairly handy player…
That’s the worst decision I’ve seen this year
Like I said - should never coach an AFL club again. Oversaw the greatest drug cheat scandal in AFL history - does not deserve a second chance.

Does Henry have a part time gig as our skills coach?
Lord help us these 50s
Pathetic - umpire makes a mistake and pays 50 to cover his tracks. Foots is genuinely fugged.

The Brad Scott effect.
It’s good for the game to pay soft fifties for having your arms out LOL!

BT and Richo are dumb and dumber.
The atmosphere at this game sounds flat as a tack for that big a crowd.

Commentators carrying on about the dissent 50m against the Dogs, didn’t even mention one earlier against Mihocek which was even less demonstrative. Useless.
Labouring the point about senior player quality but Pies feeling the lack of Pendlebury and would be going even worse without Sidebottom.

How the * could BT and Richo think this is close to a capacity crowd?
******* empty seats everywhere.
Level 1 looks half empty on the TV. 3000 short of capacity my arse!

Just goes to show what a disgusting, small time, regional organisation the AFL truly is and confirms that they knew what * were up to but kept quiet until they couldn't control what was coming to the fore.
Sure, Duck is a scumbag of a bloke, especially when it comes to his treatment of women, but this guy was involved in injecting young men with random s**t that could have long term health impacts. Utterly disgraceful that he could be allowed anywhere near a sporting organisation, let alone the one he tarnished so badly.
* the AFL.

40-42k tops. And the atmosphere here has been strangely flat all night.

Has Gavin Brown been bringing his sons to North training?
They play headless chook footy like our side.

Hands out 50s and 360 degree htb are an absolute blight on the game.
The De Goey hands out 50 and goal took the heat out of the game.
Nice one Bard and umps...

Hahaha JB the moron makes the comment that it’s a great crowd when the TV pans to an empty Level 1.

The atmosphere has been flat for most games I reckon.
What ever happened to the roar of the crowd at the first bounce?
archereleven
Brownlow Medallist
The atmosphere is flat as no one knows the rules anymore... The punters don't know whether to cheer or berate so they stay quiet..
The first bounce roar is now considered dissent towards umpires and Bard has worked his arse off to stamp it out of the crowd

I didn't bother with watching the game so I can't comment on the umpiring of this match but going by what you guys are saying, it's just more of the same - heck, even Mav had a go at them. Honestly, I don't hate umpires - I hate the umpiring of AFL games and the interpretations (plus the shitty newer rules).
Footy is supposed to be tribal. It's supposed to be rough and ready - that why people like it. It is supposed to be a game of attack and a of defence. Scoring, and preventing your oponent from scoring without infringing on the player. But now we have "judgement" rules such as deliberate OOB, or "prior opportunity". However, in every game there are players who step the ball over the line without penalty, and there are frees against some blokes the instant a tackle is laid (coz the crowd call it) yet others can be spun 360 or more and there is nothing!!!
Throws.... That is just not footy. It's a skill but it is an abomonation.
And the "arms out" is dissent. Don't get me started.
I say dump about half of the rules, but enforce what's left rigidly and equally. No blind-eyes for stars of the game. Just even handed officiation and let everybody yell to their hear's content to barrack for their team. Sure, umps will make mistakes but if there is no obvious pattern to it a bit of yelling and carry-on won't ruin the game. It adds to the fun - at least if players and supporters recognise that it's not just blatant and always going one way.

And this was posted by Wreck-It. Admittedly, even he was critical of the way the dissent rule is being applied. The highlighted quote here is attributed to one B. Scotts...
