Wheres the justice
whats going on with the umpiring? that decision in the last quater was the worst ive ever seen "even the guy holding the ball thought he was gone ".Were we getting too close & that wasnt the out come the afl wanted to see in our "national competion " their credability is a joke, we have to stand up or we will be bent over & violated again this year .Im appalled that interstate teams get such an arm chair ride just satisfy the afls goals of expanding the competion .

Didn't he get the kick inside 50. then play on backawrds putside, and then kicked it?degruch wrote:Meh. It's only a pre-season game...at least it will give the umpires some time to read up on the rules for a start. Piss weak effort from the umps. I hope we get 3 points added to our score for BJ's 9 pointer to.
The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.
with the PLAYED ON underlined... from memory everything is fair game once you play on on.... you can step outside the boundary and it will be out of bounds, you can run and bounce... you can tons of things when you play on.....WayneJudson42 wrote:Didn't he get the kick inside 50. then play on backawrds putside, and then kicked it?degruch wrote:Meh.

hell you can run to the centre and bomb it from there and because the free was a couple of metres inside the 50 a minute ago its not a 9 pointer....

lol - I think the comp was "expanded" when the Lions won three flags in a row 
No mate it is just a natural progression over the last five years where we have knee jerk reactions to every little incident and Anderson brings in a new rule that turn the game into an even softer contest.
One of the commentators hit the nail on the head tonight when he said that the no rush behind rule had been brought in to "make the game more exciting"
Fair Dinkum does ever second of every single game have to be exciting? Are we that jaded that we have to be artificially excited at ever single juncture of a match?
Soon they will outlaw qtr and half time breaks because "they are not exciting enough" or the bounce becuae it is "not exciting" - or any form of body contact so it is just like Gaelic football and quicker so therefore "more exciting".
Really if I want to watch fake - rehearsed sport - I'll watch WWE.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Yeah should have been a 9 pointer, stuff up by the umps I'm assuming. There were also two very dodgy free kicks given in the last quarter that could have seen it go our way.
Oh well, not fussed.
