Pity about the injuries because Elliot yeo is an absolute gun
 
How is that not a free?
Umpiring is extremely one sided.
I never used to buy into the Eleni Crows bias (maybe because I don't watch the Crows too often), but just watched that quarter and FMD, she is very biased. Even in the last minute Clear free on Walker attempted screamer not plmayed. The non officiating umpire had to give HTB against Rachelle.

It's beyond ridiculous how she is still allowed to umpire Crows games.
 
How’s the tackle on Oscar Allen to keep him from a marking contest and save the game. Some dubious umpiring in that one.

It's quite remarkable how well Adelaide are looked after by umpires.

I seriously don't understand why.
It is weird when the AFL has spent ten years and heaven knows how much money trying to get people to accept GCS. It's not like pushing the Crows towards finals is going to make them any more money.

When they introduce AFL doctors to all games they can bring in professional full-time umpires.
 
Touk miller plays and the sun's would of won
 
I thought that was outlawed because of betting. You know, that service provided by the league's major sponsors :rolleyes:

They should be penalised Draft picks and premiership points

She was brought up through the sanfl old boys club that would have spent those years nattering away about crows lovely boys and port criminals.

Hear something enough times and it’s bound to your molecules. She couldn’t change her spots if her job depended on it.

Entrenched into the old boys club

And those same connections that help them, plus their complete love of the status quo and unwillingness to challenge the vic majority makes them no threat to the power base that also enjoys the status quo.

I’ve spoken before about my disgust at west coast and Adelaide’s failure to take front position in leading for change to make it a more equitable competition. They’ve got the ability to call the non vic clubs to join them, and they would, and to actually achieve change.

Instead they’re too busy slinging mud at their neighbours and being proud to boast about being the big fish in a shallow pool.

Adelaide are like the house n word on a plantation. They’re one of the “good ones” as long as they’re complicit.
 
Good luck to 'em. They are better coached than we are, fitter and better able to cover the areas in their squad where they are weak. They also have a few promising youngsters who'll do well provided they don't go to the mandatory training sessions on how to be a flog.

They aren't as good as us, but you wouldn't know it by watching them.
