Re: Unwarranted free against Billings

It has been mentioned in the media a little bit - just not as much as the Collingwood - West Coast one.
In fact the AFL have now admitted that it was an incorrect call, but the Phillips one was correct.

Yes - I'm wondering why the Paddy Ryder and Jake Stringer stories aren't on the front page with Club Logos front and centre.

Re: Our Response To Murphygate

I'm sure I've heard Michael Voss tell that story and it was the other way around ie. that was what Brett said to him; and I don;t think it was for a kick to win the game either.

Re: Just F*** Off Umpire

Did anyone else early in the match North did a kick in from a point that barely went 10 metres let alone 15 - again nothing from the umpire.

Re: Just F*** Off Umpire

In the third quarter I think we had the kick about 55 metres out and a North player ran across the mark - just totally ignored by the umpire. How can it be a block against Hickey - surely he doesn't have to get out of Goldsteins way - Hickey is in the correct position and Goldstein jumps all over hi...

Re: Billy's nose !!

I thought Longer was hard done by yesterday. Almost every boundary throw in he was grabbed by Gawn and not one free kick that I can remember - he got one in the middle once I think. I thought that at the boundary throw ins no contact was allowed until the umpire threw it in. Or has that rule changed...

Re: Saints who have left to win flags

The figures don't look so bad if you take the % of total players used. So St.K 1573 Players (if we use 19) then that is %1.207 (or %1.271 if it is 20 ) of St.K players have gone on to premierships at other clubs. Carlton 1156 Players = %1.211 Collingwood 1118 = 1.431 Geelong 1048 = 1.622 Melbourne 1...

So maybe there is more than 20 or one of the others didn't play in the GF.

Re: Backward over the head handball

Once upon a time the hand holding the ball had to be stationary - the over the head was always a throw. This is one of the blights on the modern game (In my opinion) there are som many "handballs" that a few years would have been called a throw; it has almost got to the point that unless i...

Shocked he has been sacked. But life goes on. I will support the new coach whoever he is.

Re: McGuire tried to snare Roo

Could be a ploy by Eddie. Make us think he is after Roo when really they want someone else, we spend time making sure they don't get him and lose focus on someone else. Would they really want someone over 30 with a bit of a suspect knee?

Re: Possible trade

Not sure about who to trade I think we should make the most of our early picks. What I would like to see maybe is if Lee holds up as a decent forward - which is why he was recruited. Give Nick a turn at CHB. That should give him a bit more longevity rather than getting crunched in the forward line a...
