[Port 2004]

They've gone past us before and it made nary a ripple.

And they have only gone past us temporarily.I mean things change pretty quickly. It’s not like their list is actually better than ours.

Witts out for the sun's , saints 4-0 wow

 

[Buget]

Bruhn and Henry out for Geelong…. Must be too young.

You make a GF you have a chance more than we have achieved, their first flag in 62 years he deserves total credit for that, followed up with another GF appearance 5 years later.

I remember there first final that year.
They got a armchair ride from the umps in there first finals game against West Coast in Perth.
That has and never will be repeated in my lifetime.
Must grant it a premiership is a premiership no matter what and in a 100 years nobody will ever know about the run they got by the man in white.
Winners are Grinners

[240volt]

Why?
He like Clarkson had success when they had a great list.
We are going to need more than Dimma for us to improve.

Because we need standards and every coach gig gets stale no matter how good the coach

Has Ken turned Green yet?

 

[afl2004]

Has Ken turned Green yet?

Well he's looked dead for 5 years now

 

[PAFC66]

It fits in with the general consensus on this forum that Nicks is suddenly good and that’s why the Crows have improved.
No mention of course about the players.
Anyone suggesting Nicks is and always has been shyt falls on deaf ears.

Their list is very average and they give everything every game . More than you can say for us.

 

[Jojay]

With more and more umpires seemingly without a 'feel for the game', why isn't there more of a concerted effort to transition players just out of the game into umpires?

Particularly now with 4 on the field, a player could carve out a further 15 year career and essentially never have to 'work' again.

geelong getting rolled by hawthorn would be nice... carna hawfs

They’re paying over $4.
On form this year they would have to be some chance.

Maybe after there footy days are over the thought of running around a football field is not that appealing on the mind or body.

Does Jake Saligo get sanctioned for deliberately making contact with a match official?

If Rozee could get fined because an opposition player pushed him into the umpire, then yes.

 

[Greasyrhys]

5.16 under a roof is pathetic kicking

 

[finbarr]

If Rozee could get fined because an opposition player pushed him into the umpire, then yes.

I think it's an absolute no-brainer he cops something. It clearly caught the goal umpire off guard.

[Jonts]

So far

Its a fine or straight to tribunl by definition in the rulebook

There is no room for getting away with it completely

Intentional, has to be referred straight to tribunal. no other options in the rulebook.

Crows youngster learns fate for baffling goal celebration

The MRO has investigated Jake Soligo’s umpire touch and handed down his decision.

[JakeNeadeFan]

He deserves a week for being an idiot. It wasn't aggressive but it was just stupid.

 

[ozaddy]

He deserves a week for being an idiot. It wasn't aggressive but it was just stupid.

Intentional, could even be considered that he was trying to influence the goal umpires decision. It would be a very poor look on the AFL to start handing out fines for intentional umpire contact.
