Still burning I see Macpie..
Barnes is not the only runner who is operating outside the expectations of a runner's responsibility. A number of them do it, it's just that Barnes is more noticeable because Sheeds always tends to push things a little further than most coaches.
I have heard the issue is very high on AFL's agenda over the summer and they are thinking of allowing only one runner. If coaches continue to abuse it they may be forced to operate without a runner.
Has anyone else heard this or is it just talk?

I'd enjoy riding your little wave of confidence sydney fans, but lets remember that last saturday was an AWAY game for essendon and in the same game earlier in the season where sydney lost it was an AWAY game for them. Few would have tipped essendon in the recent game, yet you pathetic bandwagon riding sydney fans seem intent to harp on the defeat. Its going to be amusing when you, just like us get knocked out in the first round of the finals
f I've missed like 6 games since 1995 am I still "bandwagoning"???
Not harping, clarifying that the cart does not go before the horse.
Also pointed the same thing out to a Sydney fan in a "Home Final" thread, ie have not lost what we have not yet qualified for.
But if you prefer to think its "all about you'', please resume your whinge.
Its going to be amusing when you don't get there.

That you have no confidence in your teams ability to progress a single week in the finals assuming of course that you get there?
OK, I've marked 'em.

I'll give you a clue, he is an umpires pet and has a shocking hair day every day.
Off to the TAB with ya now.
The reason Barnes is noticed more, is probably due to the fact he is so tall, so tends to stand out more than a runner under 6 foot.

Not overly logical though.

jeez, 210 marks, 50 odd goals from CHF, 40 odd contested marks, and averaging 1 a free for, and 1 a free against every game, makes him SUCH a pet, just suprised he hasn't got a dog collar
imo TOO many players taking votes off him early in the season.
white and tredders have been standouts for their teams, and they've won a swag of games, fattleby should be close or there abouts, roo and spider are also not without their chances, black and lappin could go close also, plenty of votes for the brissie midfield, judd could get a few votes on second half season form, and BBB hall is in with a chance.
wide open IMO.
nice if snowey gets it, well deserved, but there are others who should be ahead of him on the count.

That's a funny thing to say.
From memory, the first time you played the Swans this season you got a dream run, I remember Robert Walls on 3AW said "the umpires have cost Sydney any chance they had of winning the game".
Just eveninig itself out i think.

Dont speak to soon....you havent made the finals yet
Did chuckle at Barnesy's efforts in even being near Hall on Saturday night.
Certainly not the first runner to try it...reckon Weightman has made a kiiling by doing it all these years at Tigerland and there are others too. Fingering one guy is one thing, but, a need to understand how widespread the problem is would make your argument more credible.

PKB, you swannies are still whinging & sooking about round 4.
At least when we complained we cited specific examples, which were also agreed with by the AFL and the media. All this whinger does is talk about the "AFL's love child" and "Swans players can't be touched" but seems to lack the brainpower to provide examples. Hardly surprising when its only 8 or 9 years old though...mantis said:PKB, you swannies are still whinging & sooking about round 4.
this is such a stupid argument barnes was nowhere near barry hall.
