Instead of the current tokenism approach that has beyond failed with our friend number 34, the AFL need a totally different approach to attracting women umpires at the top level. My solution is to get top ex-AFLW players to start umpiring. These women are already highly respected in footy circles a...

She has made a multitude of mistakes in both Saints games this year. Absolute howlers. She is not up to the pace and standard of AFL level. Said it before. Her signalling and voice is very weak which makes it hard to know what she is doing. Interesting point re her voice. Unfortunately women in gen...

Just to be clear... for the men, should only ex-AFL players umpire or is this strictly for women Maybe - men’s umpiring is slightly better. Or are you having a go at me?? Are you another of these clowns like on the ABC that advertised Men’s Ashes?? :D :) :wink: Calling The Ashes “Men’s Ashes” was c...

From afl.com.au "Five goals were scored in the third term – three to Freo and two to St Kilda – and the lead changed each time. The last of these goals, to Dockers youngster Lachie Schultz, raised the ire of Saints fans after Freo veteran David Mundy was tackled by the shorts for a seeming ete...

We need to start winning more games so we don’t play sundays Play sundays you get the Sunday umpires. Play Friday and Saturday nights, we’ll the AFL don’t put under performing umpires in those time slots. And for all on here saying the umpiring wasn’t ‘that bad’ there were 18000 saints supported wh...

Did he ever play the game himself? I played a few seasons of mixed netball- not sure if they have men’s...

[flash=][/flash] Her other two mates (males) were average too. Precisely my point. Where's their thread? And who will fans remember to boo next time Eleni's officiating? Exactly Freely. Misogyny is alive and well. Same as when racism gets called out - cue the outrage and “how dare you” routine. The ...

People claiming this was the worst umpiring they have ever seen have clearly not seen us playing the Eagles here in Perth! That’s true but given it was in Melbourne against an interstate team the roles should be a reversed a bit. I think the anger is about the AFL promoting someone based on gender ...

Another big positive was the livid and incredibly vocal response by us mighty Saints fans against Eleni and her mates in the last quarter and when the filthy maggots went off. You could hear it loud and clear on the telly when I watched some of the replay when I got home. Surely this spells the end ...

At what age would you anticipate he would retire - then able to return to Loren on a full time basis for the rest of his life, so maybe another 60 years or more? Further, given the demographic of Geelong’s List with their core all either at or older than 30, their demise is imminent which will put ...

She isn’t VFL standard.

She’s amateur standard sorry.

She is a joke. Must be SACKED IMMEDIATELY. She should be banned for life from any association with professional sport. Those that promoted her to being on the AFL list as an umpire need to be fired immediately also. I feel like emailing that idiot Gil but he’s got his head so far up his arse he’ll ...

I see it this way. Jack loves St Kilda and his teammates but simply has to move back home for whatever valid reasons. He feels it’s his duty to help secure a really good deal for us, and is going to go full pelt in these last 3 games to ram home the point. It’s sad how fat (his words) and unfit he l...

I hope CURLY hasn’t died.

He’s normally the first on here with an umpire meltdown.

Maybe he has gone full-Chernobyl

He was rucking against Shrek.

Exactly. Perspective needed.

Sandi is a human form of Frankenstein

Shades of 2002 at Sydney when Eade got the flick and Roos took over as interim coach. Despite the club wanting to appoint Wallace, the players and fans exerted enough pressure on the club to get Roos appointed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-NVrLCK8KY Thanks for that. Really good pick up. Rememb...

Did anyone see how high Long lept for a mark in the first half?

He has an amazing leap. That’s a skill that will get him somewhere

8. If Eleni even contemplates umpiring against us again/AFL decide to give her a gig against us, there will be a riot!

He proved he can certainly win games from the forward line. Maybe that is the problem. Been busting his chops in the middle for years watching the ball come back at him time and time again. He may just see a way to stay. 'Ratts is great, he makes it simple for me, that's the way I like it's. I thin...

OMG when our big champ went down we all feared a knee injury. But the brave heroic warrior that the young man is came back to fight on. He was clearly hampered by the knock, but kept it plugging away and still managed 20 possessions. If ever anyone deserves a coaches award for being a team player to...

Funny how the match reports I've just read on the game don't even mention the umpiring....considering it was the WORST umpiring EVER. :lol: :lol: Maybe a little bit of emotion caused someone to exaggerate Ted? Footy's a passionate game, that's for sure No. The fox commentators made repeated referen...

That stupid <edited by mods> should be fired. Incompetent Wow. misogyny is alive and well! Footy brings out the worst in some of us sometimes What are you on about. She is stupid. If she wasn’t she wouldn’t be copping it. And a <edited by mods> for favouring Freo. You have NFI Moods
