Eagles playing okay here. Free to Waterman for his third. His missed, but wowee, the Bombers might miss the finals, if they keep playing like this

Meanwhile, Maxwell has thrown his wicket away to the Afghan exiles. Ugh. Now Wadey has been given out to a dodgey catch. F%$K!!!

 

[VinnieB]

TBF I thought it was quite smart.

Take the bias against may out of it.
He knew he was done on the second 360, so he just went to ground and thought “might as well throw a Hail Mary and give it a try…”

Ump fell for it.
No different to Xerri last week jumping the fence.

It’s the Walsh, Rayner ones that I want stamped out.

It's been happening for a few weeks now. Not just May. The issue is that the umpire is placed in a position that he can't just accept it was playing for a free, because if he is wrong, he faces plenty of attention, given the focus on the head.

What was a very good tackle which could have been rewarded with a free, went against him because all May needed to do was hold his head.

Maxy is the only batsmen who showed up today. The rest should be shot out of a cannon.

Yep, I am wondering why they bowled first on such a slow pitch. Should have played Fraser bezerk.

 

[jmac70]

Please god, make the Bombers lose.

No idea why we bowled first. Their strength is their spin bowling.

Dee-man, I'm totally with you. 8 down now, might have to go back to the draw at Docklands

A push! Oh lord! But they rarely pay the push when it isn't Collingwood. FMD

Then the Bombers go straight down and score. Well done AFL

 

[JOELY]

Would love if Reid and Kelly were playing here.

 

[Markfs]

hot news from the AFL....essendon will be playing west coast for the next 5 weeks, as north looks to be improving too much.

 

[carndapies]

How are Essendon top 4? They look like a bottom 8 team. I am tipping them to have a big fall off in the back half of the year.

 

[Fat Jesus]

Please god, make the Bombers lose.

I'll let father know.

 

[sam_e]

West Coast's ability to kick the ball to the opposition is impressive!

We looked VFL level for a half last week. Everyone takes their foot off from time to time. I do think the Bombers are imposters in the top 4, but they’re a good side.

Fat Jesus this is your department

Yup fully agree.

Ump was blindsided…so they have to protect the player. It’s an impossible situation for the umpires.

As much as I hate it…I just don’t see a good answer.
Where do you draw the line?
Xerri jumping the fence?
May holding his head?

All it takes is an ump to be wrong and it’s stacks on.

I’d love to see an ump out of zone overrule if they had a clear view of it. But I doubt that will ever happen for the same reasons.


It’s only going to get worse. Smart and experienced players are doing it….wait until the rest of the comp start!!

This topic will grow legs by the end of the season.

stupid bomber fans booing the umpires for their dickhead hitting the post...

is there any other kind of bomber fan?

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

This is the daring, exciting WCE side I like to see (play against other teams when we need it).

The morons would boo their Nannas in backyard cricket on Xmas Day

 

[manicpie]

I need WC to win. I'm still have PTSD over that bunch of free kick Curnow's winning.

Imagine Mason Cox getting the "Make a Wish foundation" love Curnow gets from the umps. The big fella would kick 100 a year.

Second only to Carlton in the Arse Head Stakes.

 

[Kes1984]

West coast are bugging me so much! Kick straight! Fair dinkum!

Essendon are not as good as their W/L record would lead you to believe

 

[Kes1984]

Carlton looked pretty good last night

 

[Deleted member 133504]

Yeah, manicpie , you gotta do better. I don't know about Kes, but I need to go bathe with battery acid now, just to get the stench of such a stinging compliment!

Unless...

You are pumping them up for false sense of security. I love it!

Now we can tear down their hopes and their dreams in a few weeks
