Well we know who won't be getting the West Coast job. Absolutely no fight at all. Players certainly not playing for him.

The goal umpire being hit in the back of the head by a bottle thrown at the Blues vs Saints game is a real problem.
If VFL HQ were really concerned about umpires, there would surely be a sanction against the club in question (and I don’t know whose fan did it).
However, much easy to apply the Toby tax to us and turn a blind eye to umpire safety to protect VFL clubs.
In European football, clubs face real penalties for serious misbehaviour in the stands by their fans.

Fortunately this sort of behaviour is rare in Australia. Should be a police matter and the offender facing court.
In European football the fans hate each other simply because of the team they support. Let’s not over react on the back of one criminal idiot.
And a life ban to the idiot.

Agree. Plus a little bit of time locked up.

Long memory of TFG getting 6 weeks for imperceptible contact with an umpire.
The rationale was that it was imperative to send a message by punishing our club and undermining our next season.
I’d be very happy to play by one set of rules.
But it’s a two tier system of injustice at VFL HQ.

That’s a given - but you get that for simply setting foot on the ground as opposed to assaulting an umpire.

I almost feel sorry for Carlton fans - St Kilda have nothing to play for and still ruined the Carlton season. Only hope for Carlton is that Port beats Freo, so they can go to Gabba - and most likely lose to Brisbane

I reckon the AFL won't be too happy with media darlings Hawthorn and the Dogs playing an EF. One of them is guaranteed to go.

I agree.
It's delicious. What instructions will VFL House give to the umps?

Yep, Carlton have given Freo the chance to snatch their position in the 8. Can Freo take that chance? I'd love it, just for the lols of another big Melbourne club missing out.

Not going to happen but if Port lose by around 70 points to Freo, then they are 4th, and we play Geelong during week 1 of the finals!

Tight game.
Poor Serong who had been elite all.year, having a night to forget.

Poor Freo. Their season fell apart in the last month.
Losing today means that we've spared ourselves a trip to Adelaide.

Had their chances, but blew it. That'll hurt.

Looking at the finals draw, if we win the QF, there's a chance we'd play either Hawthorn or the Bulldogs in the PF, if either of them get past the loser of the Port-Geelong QF.
Lose the QF, and we host the winner of the EF between Brisbane and Carlton. I think we know who that's going to be. Whoever wins that travels to face the winner of the QF between Port-Geelong.
So if we knock off the Swans in QF, they might end up facing Port in Adelaide in the PF.

I wish I could say I was surprised. That decision is about as valid as the 2016 premiership.

We’re going to host the Poodles at GS in the Prelim.
It’s inevitable.

But we'll smash 'em this time.
