So...not saying anything at all will?
I am not advocating cart blanche criticism but a more open and constructive discussion would not hurt.

Re: Weekly Crap Umpiring Post
Umpiring has never been that good in our great game unfortunately. However it used to be simpler and now it is more complicated than ever and that combined with umpires being a protected species unable to be either personally or generally critiqued by anyone other than Mr Gieschen does not really al...

Re: Umpires and goals...
He had his hands on his waist/buttocks. Is that a push in the back? What does the rule stipulate? Also, the Kosi one on LRT. Ball is in dispute and Kos pushes him away, from the side. Is this not the same as a sheperd? btw, not blaming poor umpiring for losing the game but it was crucial at times th...

Re: Guess this weeks ins and outs
How's D Polo's form been lately in the VFL? If he hasn't been a standout I am not sure we need him back would rather a young'en to come in like Newnes or Curren.
The outs are pretty likely I agree.

Re: Arryn Siposs Round 15 Rising Star Nominee
Well done Mr Siposs, thoroughly deserved!
Has anyone coined a nickname for him yet? I would like to throw my hat in with "Superboot".
Un-original I know but very relevant to his ability.

Re: Consistently heavier scoring this year...
Prolly needs more research compared to other years scoring but we are currently 2nd for total goals scored this year, a fairly productive stat in my books!

Re: Foxtel Commentary
It was pretty woeful all round to listen to them on Sat arv/evening. Just about every goal in the second half to St Kilda was responded by how the suns players let each other down, how they keep repeating mistakes, drop their heads, etc. Then Roos would begin his drol lecturing about how they could ...

I thought Lenny's second quarter was suberb, set us up for the rest of the game.
Anyone know if there was anything untoward about Lenny playing deep in the forward line for most of the second half? I hope he hasn't got a niggle?

Can that be confirmed? I will feel a tad bit better if thats the case but it still stings to be paying so much extra for something that used to be free not too long ago.

Good post, needs to be approached 2 ways. Avg statistics of each player in each team of century vs opposition, going by position only.

Re: The Umpires can get stuffed!
Agree with Round 1 this year, the umpiring in that game was a disgrace and unfortunately the difference in a game that we should have won but we never get a good run with the umps over there against Port anyway. We did get a good run last night though as the umps picked up most free kicks if they we...

Re: DISIPLINE - FREE KICKS & 50 METRES
If Stanley (or any player for that matter) does happen to go a step or 2 over, why doesn't the umpire bring him back?
Why the umpires ants in the pants enthusiasm to pay 50s these days?
I will maintain that 90% of 50s paid are a blight on the game and agree that 25 is heaps more appropriate.

Re: DISIPLINE - FREE KICKS & 50 METRES
50 metre penalties should be abolished full stop.
Too harsh a penalty for most discretions, the umpires are sooks about abuse these days and need to stop looking for penalties and just ejudicate.
