At what point will our club do something about the way we are umpired every single week? It's disgusting, and not only is it the ones we give away, but the opposition does the same thing and never gets pinged. The AFL is corrupt as F.
If he doesn't get a gig at AFL level he'd be a great VFL pickup for us. A hard edge to look after some of the younger boys. Would love to see him back in the Yellow and Black.
I do too - RCD is going to be amazing for us in the years to come. Whether he was dropped or managed this week doesn't really matter at this point in his career. I'd rather he gets "dropped" early than have a lacklustre game when his tank is running on empty and the masses come for him.
Right...
I think ego is the thing that truly kills dynasty teams and makes them struggle for so long after a successful era. I hope that some of our lads will accept not always playing in the 1's as they move into the twilight of their careers to give younger players more game time and to help out at...
It's such a tough ask and is a double edged sword. If he doesn't get a game now its the "Not good enough to get a game" routine, but if he gets a game now due to other's injuries and plays sub-expectation against quality oppo midfield with our understrength midfield, then he'll cop "He's crap...
Agree. And even if you made the argument that it was "unintentional" and not reportable, I still don't understand how a raised arm/elbow to the head didn't even warrant a free kick for Nick.
Thought he played really well when he got his opportunity earlier in the season and really hoped he was going to stay. But I wish him well. I think we'll miss him in 12 months time.
My only fear with this is that we can't burn Nank out now with massive minutes given we are light on for ruck stocks with Soldo & CCJ out. That's why I think Chol needs to do more than minimum amount of rucking next week.
I'd bring Chol in for Soldo, move Markov forward as the 2nd target, switch Short or Baker to Markov's role, and bring Dave in to the backline to gel ready for finals. As much as I love Caddy I think Markov deserves to keep his spot in the team as the 2nd forward switching with Chol.

Just after the 50 second mark of the embedded clip. Tell me he didn't line him up on purpose with an elbow /...
Indeed, and 50m off the ball while facing away from the contest. He's gonna cop a week from these pricks and Dixon walking away unpenalised is the final fu to us.
A September to remember forever! Thanks Jacob for everything you gave to the Tiges.
I'm not 100% across it, but is there any chance he'll get back on the list at a later date like last year?
Is it time for Towner to get back in the team and be the guy to do all the little team things, and then when Cotch and Dusty return run interference for them? Although his stats are not amazing by themselves, I always seem to think that the boys walk a bit taller with him and Caddy in the side.
I watch a lot of footy and can't recall so many umpiring non-calls for us where similar but lesser offences are being paid to the opposition. Thought it might have just been my tiger coloured glasses, but...
...it's not just me then????
