If the tribunal is to be believed then the reason given for why Naitanui was suspended a few weeks ago, that he should have considered his size compared to the opponent whom he tackled and hurt, should now be similarly adjudicated this week from the Richmond game. Zaharakis must be expecting...

Good comment by Richo: What's the player supposed to do? The players are going to have to learn to change their tackling. Yes Richo. State the bleeding obvious. That's what professional footballers have always had to do as rules (and tactics) change. Much like driving a car Richo. We have to...

What did 3 umpires see? One explains he didn't see it. The other two? Just two (big) players together. Spineless commentary and a poor decision. If commentators are going to be honest about the game and do the right thing by young viewers especially, then comment on today's game, not the game...

Height, strength, athleticism etc, matter nothing if you're incompetent or don't have a brain. Some Saints players are missing a few brain cells.

Everyone raves about Jack Stevens speed and so 'he's a great player'. Must be able to hit targets after you speed off. Never be great with low efficiency.

Damn, just about to comment on Gilbert and he goes and gets injured. Now I feel bad. Anyway, as a St Kilda fan he's one of the players with very low elite(?) skills that makes it very hard to support them sometimes. He misses so many targets on handballs and kicks. How does he keep getting picked?

Yeah umpires must go mad before every new weekend of matches. They are strictly controlled by the rules and more importantly the ever changing interpretations of the rules. Someone influential (in the media often) questions the interpretation of a couple of rues in a match by the three umpires...

Just refer it to the video if any doubt. We go to some silly video decisions for fingernail touches and (possibly) scraping the goal posts that somehow the video guy determines happened. So if it's clear on video (and it generally is when dealing with cameras mainly focusing on players), then an...
