I can't stand the fact that this cretin gets a game because of his skill for fooling the umpires. Just f****** pathetic.
If the Doggies actually had any decent forwards, they would have smashed us, but Wallis is over rated. I'd trade him to get a proper forward and send Bruce back to CHB.

f*** I"d trade all our small forwards for Wallis, with the exception of Butler of course
What did you think of love childs treatment by the UMPS?
I agree. He did well but we may need to be smarter with our tackling.
I thought number 22 was pretty quick with his whistle. A bit too quick.
Just before the free to Daniel, Bruce launches for a speccie and puts his hand on Howard's shoulders but fails to take the mark. The same umpire then pays the softest in the back to Keath against Max a bit later with less than ten seconds to go.
Bruce played really well, for us.
Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.
Wallis has perfected the art of grabbing the defenders arm while in the punching the ball motion and pulling it over his shoulder to look like it is around the neck.
You would think the umpires are a wake up to it but ....... then you have Duckwood still getting free kicks so obviously the answer is no and most probably never will.

There's stretching the rules and then there's cheating. Why I hate J Sellwood. Why Wallis is now on the list. Just below Shuey. The Daniels free also shat me. The taking possession then running into a tackle shoulder down should be pinged holding not rewarded.
I hate the staging too. But it's an interesting thing. If you listen to the commentators, they're always admiring of players who disguise how they're deliberately getting the ball out of bounds or hide how they're trapping a player's arms or whatever from the umpire. And we all understand the benefit of the 'professional' foul. Why is staging any worse? I mean - I think it is too, from the gut! - but don't know why.
