I don't think anyone would know everything about umpiring until they actually umpire themselves. It's like commentators who never played AFL. There's always that sense amongst audiences that they shouldn't really provide any special comments regarding to footballers. Abuse comes with the job of...

The people who know a thing or two about umpiring (advisors, coaches, bosses) have kept McLaren in the AFL because they obviously think he deserves his spot and that he is a good umpire. He may have "cheated" every supporter who ever supported football ever, but he kept his place because the...

I am a bit bewildered as to how Michael Vozzo got a gig as an umpire in AFL Grand Final. I've watched his last two games (Cats-Bulldogs, and Bulldogs-Swans) and he really has been struggling. He will need to improve his bouncing for starters, if he wants to have any say in getting the opening...

Re: Gamma Dynasty - DISCUSSION I'm keen to go ahead and I'll pick the rest of my team soon. I just have had little time over the past couple of weeks to keep checking back here. But once the season gets going I think everyone will start to become more interested.

I doubt the Dees will rellocate now that Stynes has taken over. He will probably sacrifice a lot to make sure the club and will see past 2012 once the new teams have come in. However those sacrifices will likely prove to be costly in the end. If they do end up folding or rellocating (which I...

It pains me to say this but Jackson is right and I wouldn't be suprised if a Victorian based club or two goes soonish. There's no way the AFL will be able to sustain 10 clubs in Victoria while trying to support West Sydney and Gold Coast and possibly even a Tasmanian team at the same time...

Blacks won by the best part of 10 goals against Scotch. Was close up until half time, then blacks kicked away.

Re: Gamma Dynasty - DISCUSSION I doubt I will be able to make Saturday's draft. But I should be able to be here on Sunday. Fell asleep last night during the speed draft which was a bit of a dissapointment on my behalf.

Re: NFL Coverage in Australia I need to get me some HD. Nothing like starting off a week, with some good NFL action. As a Cowboys fan, however, I can't complain about the amount of coverage they get here in Australia.

Nah, heard it on Triple M, also from family friends who live next door to Matthew Bate. I'm not sure Melbourne would get much in return for Sylvia. Don't think he'd be worthy of a first round draft pick, also taking in to consideration Melbourne are likely to get two first rounders anyway.

Blaming the umpires for a loss: Possibly the worst excuse that can be made. You want the AFL to step in and get rid of these umpires? Then who is going to umpire? These people are the best in the business and the reason they are always getting a hard time is because there is too many rules...

I've heard from some different sources that Sylvia wants to be traded at season's end. Apparently outside of footy he's a bit of a thug as well.

Suprisingly, the same thing happened in Round 14 as well. There was an article about it in The Age last week.
