I’m with The Dud on this. Watching the game, I felt it was going to be a 50 before it was played. He wasn’t in the marking contest and he ran to completely the wrong spot. They might have directed him to run 5m back to the actual spot, but It was open to them to interpret his action as deliberately...

Why not just keep Battle, a known gun coming into his prime?

I'm happy to move Howard on to save coin tho.

Ok, we get it Curly. - AFL instruct umpires to cheat to ensure Collingwood win. - AFL instruct umpires to cheat against Saints every week. - The AFL is corrupt and had a vendetta against the Saints. How many threads do you have to initiate on the topic? Were the threads titled Umpires & Windhag...

Clear and blatant 50 and correctly paid, the time of the game should be irrelevant. How many different umpiring threads to you need to start? No it wasnt he didnt enter the protected area he was already in it and stepped back to where he thought the mark was. No interruption in play no warning no c...

Apparently he is now equal 4th all-time (with Zac Dawson) for amount of games played without ever recording 20 or more disposals in a game...

Even Billy Longer managed 20 touches in a game...

Yeah nah...

I don’t think we need more spuds from other teams

... The 50m penalty against Windhager was the one that was not umpired in the spirit of the game. All night they gave warnings and gave instructions to players to go back 2 metres. That killed our momentum I'm not sure that the 50 against Windhager was because he went over the mark. He came from be...

The free against Marshall was just poor umpiring. Sebs two kicks were horrendous Jones 50 was another umpire gift Was exactly the same as the one Higgins got in the last. Seb’s possession is just too costly. You seriously aren’t saying Marshall and Higgins frees were identical??🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Marshall he...

Didn’t last long!

Love The Dud to justify it. Clear view no other possible reason not to pay 50 other than bias. Now turn your hearing aids up for this one Curly… ready… the umpires made… a mistake! Believe it or not they do it every game! Maybe the umpire was gun shy due to days of sooks whinging about correct 50m ...

Butler fined for tripping...Since when did tripping by hand become reportable and carry as much weight as an intentional low impact body punch?

Such a blatant trip was always going to be a fine.

Would much rather watch that every week than what we served up last week.

My issue with the constant posting about umpires is that there is no recognition that they might make a mistake as humans. It is always ‘blatant cheating’. I don’t agree with every decision made, but I recognize that we also get calls in our favor that may be wrong. Curly seems incapable of either ...

Jones 50 was another umpire gift

Was exactly the same as the one Higgins got in the last.

Seb’s possession is just too costly.

Wasn’t in the contest and chose to stand 5m over the mark 🙈 Why wasn’t it 50 when the Lions player gave the ball to Butler even though the free kick wasn’t his. Because as the umpire said, Butler called for the ball Serious stop crying about every single thing So he gave the Brisbane player a warni...

Great first game.
