    Should footy fans be concerned about Dustin Martin?

    Chris Judd won the Brownlow Medal in 2004. It was his third year of senior football.

    Moved Thread Goal ump to make football history

    And because I know clicking on a link is too hard for some, here's the screencap from the relevant part of the video: In the video, the two images are running simultaneously. Note the ball on the left of screen is still overlapping the line, while the right of screen clearly shows the Pies...

    Moved Thread Goal ump to make football history

    Did you click on the link? It's cued up to about 20 seconds before the split-screen shot that shows the ball clearly still over the line. If you still can't work it out, just skip to 6.07 in the video. The frozen split screen is at that time point.

    Moved Thread Goal ump to make football history

    Yes. Watch the following video, particularly the still shot of the left of the split screen. The ball is clearly shown to be still on the line when the Collingwood defender makes contact. As I posted elsewhere, I reckon Chelsea will be accepting your apologies whenever you'd like to offer them.

    Umpires announced for the 2012 Grand Final

    Footage uploaded by the AFL yesterday. Watch here Reckon Chelsea will be accepting apologies whenever certain posters are ready to offer them.

    Umpires announced for the 2012 Grand Final

    She also said she wasn't 100 per cent sure, and asked for a goal review. She followed correct procedure and the right outcome was arrived at. No error there. The Seven commentators were wrong. As other posters have stated, there is raw footage taken from a shot above the goals that clearly...

    Umpires announced for the 2012 Grand Final

    Why would she be ruled out of GF contention after a Friday night prelim in which she didn't make any errors?

    Umpires announced for the 2012 Grand Final

    You mean the goal off the knee, where she said she thought it was a goal but she wasn't 100 per cent sure and wanted to check? The one where the subsequent video review (which she correctly called for) cleared things up? Oh, right. You don't mean that one. You must mean the one on the goal...

    Matt Rendell to be new Head of Recruiting at Collingwood

    Melbourne were never into Rendell as our head recruiter. It was a throwaway line on Monday night from Garry Lyon, who contrary to popular opinion doesn't actually run the club. As others have since pointed out, we have an agreement with Collingwood's assistant recruiter Jason Taylor to join...

    How good was Garry Lyon?

    This thread is what happens when a whole heap of 20-year-olds venture opinions about someone they never saw play. Garry Lyon was a champion of the MFC and a star of the game in the early '90s. He was certainly a rung down from the champions of the game, but fitted comfortably into the...

    What do you wear to the footy?

    If you're the sort of person who can't be bothered to put on a polo shirt - or a collared shirt of any sort - with jeans and runners, you're the sort of person that the MCC and its members don't want polluting the reserve.

    Which club with a long premierhip drought be next to win a flag ?

    I'm not "cracking the sads" because you don't think Melbourne will win a flag in the next three years. That's your opinion and it's no more or less valid than mine. There's no doubt 2011 was a mess and I agree, it set us back. I don't agree that a flag is now impossible because we had to change...

    Which club with a long premierhip drought be next to win a flag ?

    Yet you conveniently ignore the Trengove/Watts lot. But you ignore Naitanui and Leuenberger at West Coast and Brisbane, respectively. By the terms of reference of your post, I think we can safely ignore anything contained in it.

    What is the most famous number at your club??

    Just read the other post where someone was sledging Barassi for leaving for Carlton. Can't believe how much hate some people have for Melbourne when we haven't won a flag in nearly half a century.

    What is the most famous number at your club??

    Ease up mate. That list of numbers was a huge stretch, and Melbourne hasn't had a star in far too long, but you're going a bit overboard. I'dd add Lyon to Flower and Stynes as "good" players since Barassi. Others might add Gary Hardeman, although he was no star of the game. And to suggest that...

    Million dollard here, anothe million dollars there - G Lyon is right

    Your personal issues with Melbourne and/or Garry Lyon are beside the point. Any club who sacks a coach before end of his tenure is forced to make a payout of some size. My point was that three months of a modest senior coach's salary was not a fair comparison to 12 months of Mark Williams...

    Million dollard here, anothe million dollars there - G Lyon is right

    There's a substantial difference between paying out three months of Bailey's contract - which would have been at the very lowest end of senior coach salaries - and paying out Mark Williams or Mark Harvey, both of whom were reportedly on more than $500k. By the end of next year, both Port and...

    GWS 12pm Press conference today - Scully Signed

    Please stop :o If you can't comprehend the benefits that will flow to Melbourne's salary cap management in the next five years by NOT paying a 20-year-old $600k a season, no one here can help you.

    Umpiring last night was good

    It was generally pretty good. There were a couple of occasions when the umps seemed to miss a clear free kick - but then allowed a similar incident to go unpenalised shortly afterwards. No problems if they're consistent like that. As others have said, they were cautious in blowing the whistle...

    AFL would be remiss to oversee Scully-GWS deal

    Why is Melbourne's Clash yolk pink?

    I suspect it's a giant stuff-up by the uniform supplier. At least, I hope it is. Looks rubbish.

    Best games and moments from the decade, 2000-2009

    Just quickly, Farmer actually booted nine in the second half v Collingwood on Queens Birthday, 2000. An incredible display. The Sydney-West Coast rivalry was something to behold as well.

    Its time for clubs to go!!!!!!!

    And the troll shows his true colours. Tell me, what did Geelong's finances look like 10 years ago? How many flags had they won in the preceding 35 years? A decade is a very long time in football, let alone 15 years, and you think you've made a relevant point by bringing up ancient history...

    Coaches Under Pressure for 2011

    As for who's under pressure this year, I see it as: 1. Voss - if the Lions don't improve, they can't afford to keep him 2. Worsfold - they simply have to get better 3. Craig - another down year will have the Crows powerbrokers sharpening the knife 4. Ratten - treading water isn't good enough...

    Coaches Under Pressure for 2011

    Yet you neglect to acknowledge that Melbourne's record in its last eight games was 4-4 with percentage of more than 108. That included three interstate trips in six weeks. Couple that with the relatively strong start, an improved execution of the game plan, good performances from talented...

    Thanks for the memories Max Rooke

    He'll always be Jarad to me. To echo others, his grand final in 2009 was spectacular. Chapman wouldn't have kicked that winning goal without Rooke's work off the ball. One of the most desperate shepherds I've ever seen.

    David Hale

    Today's posts have been my first contributions to anything involving this year's trade week on BigFooty and I don't frequent the Melbourne board here. I'm not interested in what most Melbourne supporters on BF think, to be honest. However I appreciate your apology; thank you for offering it.
