Just saw the selwood free again, got the high from swallow on the ground, not from the original duck with adams. That is deadset disgraceful umpire.

Winners are grinners though, Roos should have won when they got that mark deep in defence.

 You eagles fans have got to be kidding right?? I mean you just, just scraped the win in. North Melbourne have every right to feel robbed. Lets not forget this is the same team that the weegirls flogged by 96 points late last year. Eagles will be lucky to make the top 8.

 What do you mean feel robbed, they blew their chances mate simple as that. No good crying about it. It was a laclustre game but the Eagles did well to get themselves back into it.  They have no chance at the flag this year I'll be the first to admit but last night was a moral victory.

North

Sat, 2013-05-18 07:20

North should have sealed it when they took that mark deep in defence, they also should have killed that ball over the boundary and not given the 'peking duck' the chance to suck the umpire in.

Disgraceful game all round,

Sat, 2013-05-18 10:34

Disgraceful game all round, umpiring was crap and Selwoods free was just not there and the umpire fell for that. Sooner the umpires wake up to the whole Selwood clan ducking for frees, the better it's going to be. But it wasn't just him either now was it?? Shooey was just as bad and Hams aint bad at it either.

 

Cheers

Free

Sat, 2013-05-18 14:00

That's not what the free was for dumps, but he did duck and dive sideways into his arm, Selwood 101 move.

Free was apparently for secondary high contact on the ground.

Pick on the umps again!!

That IS a free in anyones book. Over the shoulder = free. So what if they paid it for something else. That then would have been controversial because this one wasnt paid.

Its easy to forget that it still took a screamer and kick after the siren to win. Nic Nat you hero.

 Yeah heard the umpire say that but it didnt look like much. The umpires are aware of the duck and there were a few instances where shuey and Kerr had their heads ripped off  from going hard at the packs and the umps never blew their whistles. it's a shit sign of times when there's more talk about umpires after a game, than the game itself

Both teams weak as piss but NM stiff umps are blind. Must of had a bet on wc.

Usually those who aren't really one eyed due to their support of more than one team.

Is Crasny still waxing your back or whatever it is that he does when he's got it? Do you know about this behaviour?

LOL

Another big clash for the Pies this Friday and then our draw opens up a bit. Still stalking that top four spot, hopefully the Bombers have begun the stumble and the Swans haven't really done anything yet.

Could be a three way race between Pies, WC and Freo for spots three and four.

Right O

Mon, 2013-05-20 15:22

Start with:

Hate to say it but Either Geelong or Hawks 1-2

Fremantle 3

Swans 4

Collingwood 5

Eagles 6

Essendon 7 or NADA depending on ASADA

Richmond 8

Port and Carlton as the ins if ASADA gets involved.

Probably going for the hawks one.

Port has had a good run, but I think Cossy's team has had a good draw and might find it tough. Teams lower than WC on the ladder just cant do it in my opinion. NM possibly the only team lower than eagles who could threaten, because of not a bad team, and a Scott as a coach (The brothers impress me as coaches).

If Freo keep on with their injuries then drop them 2 places, move Swans and Collingwood up.

Essendon with the pressure just cant keep it up and I am sure they will falter. I think this saga for the sake off AFL has to reach a conclusion and I see no option but to follow what the NRL did and be very tough. Melbourne for a salary cap breach (ie not doping) got a years points stripped. AFL would look piss weak if they didnt act tough on this.

Richmond I think is about where they should be but not set on them yet.

Final Table then:

Hawks (Shit I said it)

Geelong

Swans

Collingwood

Freo

Eagles

Richmond

Carlton

Your prediction??

Mon, 2013-05-20 18:05

 Your kidding right? WC top four after Friday's game I doubt that. Maybe if they beat North by 20+ points you could pretend that. Granted they have a good run now but the run home for the Weegirls not good. 2 points at home and loosing every quarter hardly the match to pit 3rd or 4th spot on. Plus the first win at home this year!

Sun, 2013-05-19 13:13

What else was Selwood trying to do other than get the ball, rock backwards and drop the knees for a free kick? He didnt get the ball and look for an effective disposal. Its making footy frustrating to watch, I wish they would just play footy fair so there is a contest. There is way to many rules already now because of these muppets there is going to be more by-rules for rules.

Mon, 2013-05-20 13:15

this is just becoming stupid this ducking shite. commentators praise the joel variety of the sellwoods for his ability to slip his way into a tackle to earn a free for to high. but the minute the west coast sellwood varieties do it its ducking . call it what you want but as the rule book states if you go above the shoulder its a free kick. as dumpers photo shows above the free was there.
west coast didn't win this game(not taking anything away from nic nats mark and goal) but NM lost it. they had there chances, and WC lack of ability to kick goals when needed gave them more of a chance. Bring on round 9.

Was just looking at the top 8 and cant seem to see Collingwood??? Bit ofa percentage scrap for 6 to 11, few interesting games to watch next week, Freo Adelade, Ess Swans even the Wc game against the Tigers who play good over here. It a good view from up here...

Pies have got plenty of work to do if they wan't to do anything this year. 8 or so consecutive games against the lesser ranked teams will help with the percentage side of things hopefully but realistically we need to improve a hell of a lot to trouble the top 4 teams later this year.

As for the Hawks tim-o, is one of the best lists on paper actually going to achieve anything this year? Not the greatest finals record considering the names on paper, be interesting to see if they stand up this year.

Are you going to answer my question from the other thread or are you like Yoni and only answer selectively?

After hearing more information on the Goodes thing, she didn't really know what she was saying but shit, he's a bit precious if that contributed to his most 'shattering day ever'. As a teacher I've been called plenty worse than that by kids from all cultures and I'm still smiling.

 Footy aside BJ gotta say I agree. My wife calls me an ape just about every other day, water off a ducks back. I mean it's footy and go to a local league game and it's a lot worse, emotions run high. I'm probaly going to get shot down for this but am getting a bit sick of the whole  having to say sorry all the time. By gone are bygones, move on people.

 But for gods sake, during indigenous week? This is what this whole week is all about, respecting and recognising their importance in the game. For a person to be that passionate about the game and sitting in the front, that person surely knows what week it is. Wrong time to open her trap IMO.

I've already said it was poor form fisharoo but shit, I hope he doesn't go into umpiring when he retires. He'd be in the foetal position by the end of the first quarter.

Sun, 2013-05-26 19:04

It's the connotation that by calling a black person an ape is that they are unevolved, unintelligent, not worthy of any rights...its got a long history behind it. That's why Goodes et al have gotten upset over it. People calling their big hairy mates 'apes' is not used to denigrate and dehumanize them.

I do agree though, time to move on.

Didnt know there was a Q.

Sun, 2013-05-26 18:10

Didnt know there was a Q. Yeah, thought she may have said something alot worse like BC or something, yeah the nation gotta move on from it. Guna be an interesting day at school for her tomorrow. I have had the thought tho, about how the indigenous are recognized in a round, I mean why cant there be a Wog round or something, its like they single them out to being different. I love the game for the indigenous players, they have x factor that you cant teach, my gernsey sports the number 33, so yeah they are different, in a bloody good way, wouldnt be the same without them

After hearing the truth about the ape comment think it is a storm in a tea cup.

Whats next no ranga bashing and picking on big ears? Even the other dick giving the umpires shit about being black or white.....well one is black one isnt and that is about as racist as naming this round the Indigenous round...Not really racist in my eyes.
