Only just thawed out. First time at a CHFL grand final since 2004. Northern Oval was better when you could back the work ute up the fence and sit in a camp chair, rather than freezing your nads off in a soulless grandstand. Using the food outlets rather than the North Canteen was also an issue...

I might head along to the Grand Final this week. Where do I go in the ground so that North doesn’t get my beer money?

Many players and supporters tend to think that all the AFL laws apply to their level. I can’t speak for Bendigo League here, but others I witness will have players and/or supporters appealing for insufficient intent or deliberate rushed behinds, neither of which apply in the other leagues I’m...

The problem is that the player with the ball is clearly moving off the line of the mark, the player standing on the mark can see it, and moans at the umpire, but the field umpire is in a position side on, as they are coached to be, and can’t see it, so the play on call is delayed. Four umpire...

It’s not right. I felt for the juniors in the Elimination finals 5v8. Finishing 8th in a 13 team league means you’re not near the standard of the better teams. To see a team not score for 3.5 quarters, and only score once the 5th place team had stopped playing, was heartbreaking.

Natte finished top, so they have the chance to get an extra day before the Grand Final surely? Had Harcourt defeated Trentham in the Qualifying Final, they’d be playing Sunday. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Some very poor parenting going on there the past two weeks though. Walking with babies through the middle of ongoing matches, absolutely terrible. The council should have got the plovers removed. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Can you rely on scoreboards, manual or done via a computer to put it up on a screen anyway? Most places with screens, it’s the timekeepers that are doing it, and they’ve got an important job to do without updating a live internet scoreboard as well. And how many times do you see the goal umpires...

Goal umpire going down in the first quarter was a bit of light entertainment. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

If I was an 17-18 year old kid who got flogged every week, I’d be somewhat reluctant to get out of bed to drive an hour for a nothing 10th v 11th match too.

Redan v Melton South U/19 off as well. Don’t know which one forfeited, but my understanding is that both were struggling to get a side out. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

No score from either team in the last quarter. Reckon there were more smothers in one game of football today than I’ve seen in all the games I’ve watched in the last two years! On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

Doesn’t stop players in country footy appealing for an infringement against those non-existent rules.
