That was just some random North supporter in the street but he was 100% confident about it and reasonably well connected in footy terms down here.

Larkey and Eddie Ford have about the same number of disposals per week as Zane. He's also fifth in our goal kicking.

LOL. All I said was that Collingwood must have had some interest in him because he was training with them. I have no opinion one way or the other other than he's a round 2 MSD pick so its unlikely much will come of it. He's a tall player who can provide some structure so if he drags a...

Can you provide a non israeli source for that? According to Sutterfeld, Israeli forces earlier this month killed Palestinian police — among them Hamas operatives — protecting a UN aid convoy in the enclave’s southern city of Rafah. As a result, Sutterfeld said they have since refused to protect...

They obviously had some interest in him or he wouldn't have trained with them over pre season.

Yes it is. Some people will probably respond with "see this proves Israel isn't completely ****ed" and to an extent it does. A very small extent. The next step is Israel should be charging the people responsible with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

if you can't control a player in a tackle and they dispose of the ball then it should be play on. Its not the same as trying to bounce while being tackled. I expect umpires to decide on a situation by situation basis but maybe that's too much given they're possibly being told what to call from...

Some thing about "your mum and the world's largest rodent".

I spoke to someone yesterday morning who knows his coach and other people involved in AFL Tassie youth pathways and they all knew he was going to North with the draft. The person I spoke to said wtte of "Good news for Geordie Payne, he's going to North. The club told him last week."

That doesn't happen very often to LDU. You don't need to slam a player into the ground in those circumstances, you just need to control one of their arms and prevent an obviously effective disposal. Which should actually be easier to do than slamming a player to ground if the players core...

Even so the hyperbole around Clarkson's situation is nothing like the response to this.

No. The second round of the MSD is exclusively for club saviours and reincarnations of Wayne Carey. settling for anything else is celebrating how shit we are.

Kallan Dawson played every game this year until he got injured.

So did Sam Gibson and even Kayne Turner played okay in that PF when we got screwed over by the umps in Perth.

Never thought I'd agree with Nick Reiwoldt

Off the ball umpires 50m away in many cases.

Some players (LDU comes to mind cos i see him do it every week,) have the ability to move and spin in tackles and not be held or controlled by the tackling player. They're able to keep their arms free and use core strength to hold the ball until the best option becomes available. I don't think...

Far be it from me to defend the BF sooks mods but I posted it in here cos its about umpiring. If people think it deserves a MB thread then go for it.

yeah its interesting the difference in media treatment of those two situations too.

The January of 2019 or December 2018 I drove from Melbourne to the North Coast (did it a few times but this was the first) and ... from Dubbo to the Vic border some years there's just Canola the whole way. This year it was red dirt, dry dams and waterholes and a fair bit of dead stock and...

I know right. WTF???

It'd be nice if one thing was easy once hey... Before the rain started up north, just before the fires this guy bought this property next door and then cleared every gully and then burnt everything in every gully. Sure it made slashing easier. He was smashed by landslips over the last three...

With the revelation that umpires are in contact with a coach during games where does that leave the AFLs integrity as a professional sporting competition? On one hand it looks sus as and is certainly open to manipulation or at least the perception of manipulation, given umpires have recently...

Glad you finally realised. Self awareness is important.

Yeah I was spewing carlton picked him up.

Nambucca Lions are soft weak pricks!!!

What a crock of puritanical bullshit. Why is it unacceptable to swear?

So the only established fact here is that he swore. Not that he abused anyone. Not that dissent against umpires is even enforced fairly. Its completely arbitrary.

LOL. There isn't a thread about either of those things and I doubt most of the people in this one, including you, are even aware of them.
