Little Birdie tells me yesterday that a former Blue Karl Norman maybe coming to the RDFL next year, he may be at one of the lower clubs with 3-4 mates joining him.......

I thought it was a great contest Doon.
I also thought my blokes took it right up to the inform side of the competition.
One thing I found hard to understand was the inconsistency of the 3 lads controlling the game in the first half. Free kicks 20-2
But they were much better in the second half. 32-15 in the end
Riddell are a great side on the spread and by foot they are pleasing to watch.
Once Wearne went into the ruck he controlled Allens influence around the ground.
Good game to watch even if as a coach I was on the wrong side of the result.

It was a great game. Broadford are the real deal. If they finish 6th, the team that finished 3rd will really wish they had made the top 2.

However Skip, not sure where you got your stats from. Just rewatched the 1st half and the free kick count was broadford 10, Riddell 12.

It's exactly the reply we expect let me say I have Also watched it.
Now the point is there are a lot frustrated by the decisions paid and not paid not only in this game (we at clubs also talk and find the same issues happening ) considering there where three umps there first half was shocking I'm happy to pull it apart and sit with any one from the umpire board and get a explanation because the frees count was one sided it was not why we lost but there where times where some decisions and considering the umpires great possioning that where extremely hard to believe
Let me say yes I have umpired it is a tuff gig and by admitting mistakes we all get better by not we all get frustrated the guys that umpire are not professionals we understand but by not admitting mistakes will never one get them the training they need and there for frustrate many
Let the game flow protect the head ( that really was poorly controlled on Saturday ) and most importantly umpire in the spirit of the game
Will this get fixed doubt it .........

Wow. Bit of an overreaction. I don't think 2 frees difference is one sided. Your captains exact words at 3qtr time was "having 3 is great, you haven't missed a thing". Very surprised to hear your reaction. I'll admit we got one or 2 wrong. Would you like to provide some specific examples of what we did so badly?

Which club is it?
He is at glenrowan I've seen him single handly win games for glenrowan this year!

One of my old family members from up Yarra once told me that Glenrowan provides Karl Norman with a lakeside apartment at Mulwala over the summer as part of his contract.
Apparently still a very classy footballer but a metro club would have to show him the money to get him to move down south in a big way.
 
Having a crack at the umps is one thing Dave but you gotta stop picking on those poor Fins fella, what have they ever done to you?

Not what your boys said in the rooms afterwards any way that's done and dusted
secondly the person involved has not been seen at the club for years and isn't a member and was refused alchol at our bar and removed from the arena are you sure he didn't come with you.
And lastly it's comments like this that show that perhaps people need to understand a bit deeper the real issues that confront football leagues clubs and towns not all clubs have cash cows some have to bloody work hard
I will say this that the good folk of broadford are doing that my friend and you should get over your past issues and get a life:confused::eek::thumbsdown:
Let me say all clubs that Finnish in the bottom half should play each other twice in the following year and same with the top half that will mean a couple sides each year should come up and down the ladder making it more interesting
Clubs with the opurtunity to have some success then will grow and the competition may get stronger
By the way if we make the six we will have won more games that is how it normally works is it charity that not all sides have to play hawthorn twice if we make the six l$&k o?t.

The umpiring had nothing to do with that result. Riddell defended better than Broadford did and Broadford couldn't stop the way Riddell moved the ball.

Not sure what cash cows or lack of had to do with the result either. Strange comment given the original comment was about the umpiring.

In regards to the draw why should it favour sides who have struggled the year before? If Sunbury miss out and Broadford get in what have they done to deserve that over Sunbury? All clubs work hard off the ground.

3.. Then play 24 rounds that's the only way it will be equal tell you now there is no answer the only thing as a club we asked for was to play 3 games twice due to the fact they where rival clubs no one complained about rock banks draw last year and our draw playing most top sides twice the season prior ?????????? So what's the answer should Kilmore play all top sides twice next season because they finished last as punishment should the premiership side be compensated for winning it and play bottom sides twice

The truth is there s no fix and next season the draw will favour some one and that some one will cop it !!!!!!

I have no issue with the current draw. As you say it will always give someone a leg up but saying it should deliberately advantage under performing clubs is nonsense.

Getting away slightly from the subject are the finals venues decided as yet? Also the GF what date is it this year?
 
Top two position hotting up four sides can make it and they will then be favorites to be premiers
And the games in the last three rounds will shape it great end to season comming up !

G'day orange ump
In no way am I saying that the umpires cost Broadford the game on Saturday
It's was more the consistency in many of the decisions especially in the first qtr from memory.
I must admit having the 3 umpires is good, but they must feed of each other to ensure that consistency.

Also players and sometimes captains will use a little sarcasm if they think they are not getting a fair crack.
But all in all Riddell deserved the win on Saturday, as I said in my previous post they are great by foot and make correct decisions when the heat is on which is something we have to get better at.
I might give you a call and catch up for a beer and go over the tape with you if you're free

Champ you don't need to clarify yourself on this site your point of view by most was read and understood and by others read and presumed that you where having a crack a major floor to this type of communication that you will have those that presume before they clarify your post and even once you clarify still have a crack ;)

But quite the opposite once again clarify before you post
The original quotes read correctly don't state the umpiring cost us
we know the gig is tuff but the lack of protection head high is baffling we teach our players to get low in a tackle to prevent this but it doesn't always happen
some one will be hurt badly that's our point
besides that the umpiring this year would be the best we have seen for a while
