Yes your opinion on the matter must be greater then a man who coached 344 times at the elite level and experienced it many times. Well done. We are all defeated.

In relation to the coach not making any moves in the last 2 minutes in the geelong game. There is actually very little a coach can do in the last minutes of a game. Any message that they would want sent out and enforced, would most likely be heard without enough time to act on. I know for a fact...

I think you have been very generous with your ratings then, if we went into a grand final with some of those players you said are capable, then it really is a testament to the coach who dragged the team there. You cant say that the coach is culpable for close losses, then laud the players for...

Capable of what? Winning a premiership? Playing in a finals team? Very broad. Very simple. Also depending on your interpretation of capable, you have severely overrated a players.

Windhover, we understand u don't like the man. But don't use a personal and unjust vendetta to blanket the fact that he is a great coach. Our list management has been disgusting for the past 10 years. That is why we are a poor side, most of it attributes to ratten and his lack of player...

You mean he is a sook for complaining about two blatant free kicks that were not paid in the last 30 seconds of a 5 point game 10 meters from goal directly infront? Anyone would be FUMING if that happened to their side after getting r*ped by the umpires the week prior. That is 2 games in a row...

I hate how the umpires never call a throw in when players are outside the ground and move off their line. Its so frustrating! Shulz did it as he marked, was outside and played on whilst outside the ground and kicked the ball. Not saying that has anything to do with it, just very annoying, for a...

In this circumstance, look at who tweeted the news, now think about who her father is close friends with at the club, who he has dealt with at the club, from playing alongside Kernahan and McKay, to working with Juddy on a weekly basis when he first arrived at the club with stoppage work. Im...

The club are still hoping that with a small period of rest, it could allow the medical imaging to settle down and give a clearer picture on the damage. The club obviously don't want to give heartbreaking news to the members if it can be avoided and that these initial scans are inconclusive or...

Can confirm the news, juddy wont be pulling on a jersey till around round 8 at best case scenario. Juddy had been sore through the achillies and the club sent him for scans the past two days, scans showed a strained achillies. The club is looking at treatment in Sweden with the worlds best...

I cannot cop that as a coaching directive, i'm sorry. Andrew was clear of his opponent and had the choice of marking the ball or punching the ball. He made the wrong choice under pressure. A fatal error. But you cannot say that the coaches direct the players to spoil ahead of mark in the...

Don't get me wrong, I am livid with the result tonight. I knew from the first quarter that our goal kicking would be the reason we lost. Possibly I am seeing this as the glass half full, but if we insert Judd, Kruezer, Walker, Gartlett, Carrazzo and McLean (playing the full game) into that...

He is ranked 16th in clearances for ruckman.

What a sad day for the Carlton Football Club. How we have come up with this decision amazes me. Today we behead a Carlton legend. A man who when stabbed bled blue. NAVY BLUE. Brett had a lot to deal with in his time. After first making the finals his team structure and game plan was...

Same sort of incident happened today in the Fremantle Melbourne game. Garland was sitting down and grabbed Kepler Bradley's arm and held it behind his body while a melbourne player was on his back and another on his elbow, could of snapped his arm in 2, but no injury and no histeria. It happens...

a king hit is in play? your argument is now void.

judd was standing and had his arm in his hands, why would he go to ground to hold his arm by his side when he could hold it in the standing position he was in. yes it created discomfort for leigh, but so does the players that hold judd or any other player back by the arm when they are trying to...

incorrect, it then opens the possibility of judd holding his arm to restrict him from disposing of the ball, and in the process the shoulder popping due to lack of strength, stability and structure. we didnt see any yanking, any twisting of the wrist, all we saw was judd holding the arm as adams...

no you flog, you obviously dont pay too much attention at north games do you? went off with a dislocated shoulder last week, and against st kilda. also against adelaide he had a stinger in that shoulder. thats all in the last 3 weeks, add tonight and its 4. even dislocated it at the end trying...

wasnt good to look at. Although i think people are over reacting a little, he grabbed his arm as adams was falling and then lifted so adams could not use it to handball it out. And lets be honest, it doesnt take much for adams to dislocate his shoulder, its general knowledge that he is playing...

Hey guys, What do you think about these trades, im undecided, i know it will improve the team but unsure about whether to do it this week, or wait till the following week. Either Out D.Martin for H.Crozier (then play zorko permanent) Out Judd for Swan Out Hargrave/Dempsey for Carrazzo or...

they would love that, just as a chuckle, the eagles stamp their authority as the biggest duckers and fakers in the game, good work Darling, how long have the eagles been practicing that at training?

LOL a potential melee....really? wow we were watching different things. a push to the arm starts a melee these days. The umpires cannot tell a player to do something without the backing of a rule though, do u not understand? and sayin they must listen to an umpire is not a rule, the rule is, a...

Juddy really is at the bottom of the barrel right now. We have seen his worst output in a carlton jumper tonight and his worst 6 week period. He is labouring with groin problems I have heard, needed a week off at the port game which couldnt be afforded due to no murphy and carrazzo so he was...

What you are not understanding is, the umpire can tell a player to do what he wants, but until the player breaches a rule, he cannot be pinned. If judd hit him high, or sparked a mallee, or ran over the mark then thats fine, but a player cannot be pinned for not listening to an umpire about a...

If its not on in the Official 2012 Law's of the Game document, then it cannot be on the DVD, simple as that. They cannot preach one thing on the DVD and leave it out all together in the Document, which is more legally binding then the DVD. In the end, the situation was over umpired, the 50...

From the AFL's Laws of the Game: 15.5 Free Kicks — Relating to Umpires A Free Kick shall be awarded against a Player or Official who: (a) uses abusive, insulting, threatening or obscene language towards an Umpire; (b) behaves in an abusive, insulting, threatening or obscene manner...

So if the umpire says to Chris Judd, Chris do not touch the ball today, as soon as he touches the ball a free kick will be paid? The umpire can only officiate the rules, if Judd does not break a rule, there is no penalty. Why in all other circumstances when its a push and shove do you hear...

I will answer your question. The umpires are out there to officiate the game in conjunction to the rules provided. There are no rules stating that a player must listen to an umpire. The umpires job is to officiate the game based on actions which breach a law/rule. What Judd did, breached...

your still trying to back it up, not one person has agreed with you yet who doesn't go for west coast, just understand, it was a pathetic decision. firstly it wasnt an elbow, it was a forearm, and if there is no contact to a forbidden area like the neck or head, then its fair game, its probably...
