Yes, I watched the game as I am a keen Bomber supporter. I stand corrected if he kicked to himself but I can't recall seeing him do that. I only recall the hanball after he was rushed by the Bomber Player. It is possible I was watching the bomber player and missed the kick.

I didn't see him kick it to himself. The umpire called play on and the Essendon player on the mark rushed at him. He backpeddled until the Essendon player was on him and then he rushed it through with a handball. I would say if he kicked it to himself, the Essendon player would have tackled...

So a definate umpire error then as Bowden Handballed the ball through under pressure without kicking to himself. Why have the Journo's not picked up on this. My answer to that would be to take any scutiny away from the them. The AFL certainly haven't said anything about it.

I agree he didnt bend any rules. He simply broke the rules as I outlined above and the Umpire made an error. But we won't hear the AFL or Jeff Geishen come out and admit it.

I don't think so. They have spent the best part of the year in the top four, only slipping out on two occasions. They are out only on percentage at the moment with very few games to go. They need only win one more game than Mildura and they make the finals. The season with the top 5 is very...

The Joel Bowden rushed behind issue has been discussed at length, but no-one has considered the following with regard to the second rushed behind where he handballed the ball through after being called to play on by the umpire. According to the rules, in order to play on from a kick out, the...

I have posted this on the Essendon site but thought it appropriate to put here as well. Hopefully someone can set me straight on this ruling. I would like to know what the ruling is on a rushed behind from a kick out. According to the rules, in order to play on from a kick out, the...

Food For thought here Essendon Fans. If Joel Bowden had handballed the ball back in to play after being called to play on from a kick out, he would have caused the umpire to call incorrect disposal by not kicking the ball to himself before playing on, and a ball up would have taken place on...

Yes Nakkers, If you make the finals you will be difficult to beat. You have the experience that is for sure. Good win by Wenty, but looking at the score board they didn't have it thier own way. The green and whites will no doubt be spending some quality time in front of goal this week.

At the stage I wrote that post Bigmouth, sorry bigfoot, they had four wins and didn't look to be travelling very well. In three weeks they have turned it around and if you read the post it stated, They need to turn things around quickly. It would appear that things have now turned around and...

I'm unsure what potshots you are talking about. Is it that I referred to Congo as Demetriou. It was because he is the president of the League as Demetriou is of the AFL or did you not realise the correlation. I questioned the League and thier rules and stated if it was a rule that a player...

Paper stated that Peter Demetriou Congress wanted it dealt with before tomorrow. Why? Well god only knows. Perhaps he could explain why the League will also have Eaton and Walder found guilty of Bringing the game in to disripute if found guilty of wrestling just because they were charged...

The investigation hasn't PROVEN anything yet Delray. It has recommended further action and that is what has happened. It is now up to the tribunal to PROVE what happened. Walder and Eaton charged for wrestling (A joke if ever I heard one). Both if found guilty will face a reprimand at...

If you want to talk about the games of 3 days ago, then talk about it. Dont just ask the question mate and get everyone else to do it for you. People get on here and winge about people talking about an incident but never make comments themselves. Imps defeated Robinvale in a close one...

Again Delray you leave out your coach from all this. I won't get in to the version I heard with regard to Eato and what sparked the ensuing incident but I assure you, Walders nose didnt bleed from Altitude sickness. You have to ask, was the blood nose before or after what you saw Walder do...

This is great stuff Delray, a real good debate, lets keep it up. I'm not sure why you are saying I am panicing. I'm not facing any investigation and aren't going to be cited to the tribunal. I have also asked if you are supplying your information and have condemned your club for failing to...

You have only reinforced my point that an investigation is only as good as the information provided. How is it that a team manager of one of the clubs decides how many witnesses is enough. Isn't that up to the Investigator to decide. Surely you should contact the investigator yourself to...

I have to agree to disagree with you here Wayne. As I said, the investigation in to the Alvey incident FOUND that there was no case to answer. It didn't find lack of evidence or anything like that. I'm unsure if people know of the investigators credentials but here is a list of them...

As I said previously, Red Cliffs made the decision after a committee meeting and no doubt considering everything that occured. They would know more about it than I and made the decision to proceed. With regard to the Alvey incident proving nothing you couldn't be further from the truth. The...

I expect having seen everything except your coach giving Walder a blood nose you must have blinked at that point. In any case, now you are the star Witness in the Incident it might be best you give your story to the investigator. Just make sure you leave out the bit about your coach and...

Was interesting to note that a player got jail time for a King Hit during a game of footy today. Bad timing I would say and it will be interesting if the League will push for an outcome on this matter because of it. Lets hope they treat it on its own merits, but it does put a bit of...

I'm not sure that it was my wish for an investigation, I simply stated that there should be one if the League were going to take a stance on these things when they are rubbing people out for four weeks for abusing the umpires. My understanding is that the incident being investigated is the...

I'm tipping Red Cliffs in a close one at home. I reckon by between 5 and 10 points. It looks to be a beauty with Mildura beating south by 60+ and Red Cliffs having defeated them by 90. If Red Cliffs gets up, the top four would almost be finalised with them being two clear of the 5th...

I am guessing like Interleague footy this year, nothing will happen. Red Cliffs players won't winge cause they take it on the chin as most players do which is what you would expect. The league needs to get consistent and start treating these incidents seriously, whoever is involved...

No-one, including Delray who saw the incident has denied it was a King Hit. Therefore what was written would appear to be the truth. So what was written is neither rubbish, nor rumour.

Didn't that finally stir things up. :D:D Not there too busy working. I'm all for a good fight but not in to King Hits. If you want to get in to fight and come from behind then grab the bloke and get him in a head lock, not belt him to the head hard enough to knock him out. If he turns and...

Will there be an investigation in to the week as piss king hit from Sam Ransom on Chris Lee? Should be front, back and middle pages I imagine come Monday.

Yes, I have certainly been on the recieving end of a few good verbal sprays from the crowd. Adds a bit of humour to your day most of the time.

Totally agree with you Rabitto, here's hoping the two bottom clubs can lift thier game next season to make it even better again.

You are well off the mark there big fella. I have no grudge against the Mildura Footy club or anyone at the footy club. I picked you guys to finish top of the ladder before the season started and have even praised you guys for the way in which you developed the club under Ryan O'Callaghan for...
