And just like that razor makes the discent rule active again.

 

[Roostorm]

And on cue razor ray enters the game…..can almost bet on it when the other team needs a leg up….

 

[tricknologist]

I really wish Ray would **** off. He always tries to make himself part of the show.

 

[koshari]

I really wish Ray would * off. He always tries to make himself part of the show.

Which would be fine if we were talking about a freak show

 

[The Nostradamus]

Top 4 teams are going to create a big gap to the rest

Dogs the only ones outside of that I think can create issues due to their elite midfield and naughton up front

 

[zoomba23]

Don't ask me what I'm doing on a Richmond page, and certainly don't ask me what I'm doing on Reddit, but this is peak nuff behaviour

I don't get much gossip but I have heard from a friend that Razor isn't actually too popular with his colleagues. Not that they hate him or anything, but apparently most (or at least a sizeable number) of them do think that his flair for the dramatic and willingness to do media has actually made the rest of their jobs a bit harder. When the bloke who seems to get the most attention outside of the game is also mediocre at his job and a wee bit of an attention seeker then it rubs off on the rest of them.

About the only person who would call Razor a rockstar is BT, who seems the most willing of any commentator to take directives from AFL house and then run so hard with them as to almost come out the other side.

Fair enough. Personally I don't mind him and respect the fact that he talks honestly about the job and spewing before games due to nerves and stuff like that. Takes guts to project that out into the public domain.

I don't think he's bad at the job either, all things considered. But can see how his persona could make the other umps feel a bit iffy. Either way, the mental image of an umpire who needs to look out for a million different things, consciously changing his whistle tone depending on the team that the call corresponds to, is spectacular

It was probably the greatest comment I've ever seen about umpires.

 

[Hojuman]

Carltank supporters turn up v Gold Coast at the 'G 1.10 p.m. ?

Lucky to crack 30,000 l reckon.

**** all there

 

[Devington]

8 scoring shots each but a 20 point difference

 

[muttley45]

The constant pro Carlton commentary is irritating

 

[DuckYeah]

I always piss myself laughing when I watch Harry snap 40 out directly in front lol

 

[Marstermind]

The constant pro Carlton commentary is irritating

To be fair, it would be hard to commentate on Gold Coast at the moment when they literally can't get the ball.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Typical of Carlton to show up once their season is over and the pressure of finals is off.

It would be the highlight of the Non-North season should Carlton lose from here. Please let it happen.

 

[hotchilli]

The Suns can't get anything right this quarter.

11 shots to 14. I wouldn’t be surprised if GC come back after half time

 

[koshari]

i reckon its red rover. thats a matchwinning quarter.

 

[Duck the GOAT]

Amidst all the Cotchin tributes...reminded me of the 2015 EF.

Tribute to Benny "The Glove" Jacobs. His concussion more or less perfectly aligned with when we fell off the cliff.

The light just starting flicker back on.

 

[cznsnowy91]

Cerra is having a really good year. Would be annoying for Freo having to watch him carve it up

 

[Hojuman]

Can Carltank win the flag from here ?

 

[Cyber_punk]

Can Carltank win the flag from here ?

Nah. They'll finish with a few more wins, just miss finals and their fans will be fooled into false dawn for next year.
