Were we actually robbed?

[pupstar]

And to the OP- robbed of what? I mean really a win against a battling Swan, means in the bigger scheme of things nothing.
What will get good folk talking about us around the watercooler is the likes of Wardlaw.

He changed the dynamic yesterday

I wonder if George would have liked a win in his first game , Every win is important to young players reguardless.

I think effort is more important for us currently. Amd sure George realises we arn't any good. And in 12 months you'll all look back at see it for what it was.

What was it.

Only my opinion but give me the win any day.

Just stop it, please. You don’t know what happened and even if it was a mistake the person who made it shouldn’t be made to feel worse. There shouldn’t be more repercussions any more than blaming an individual player for a costly error.

I don't give a fugg how they feel - CANT YOU PEOPLE TELL WHEN IM TAKIN THE PI55?????????? Talk about come in spinner.

By the way I have no idea how the interchange works. If we were over doesn't the AFL have steward at the actual point who can say no, or stop or whatever?

l wouldn't say we are not any good. Aside from the first 15 minutes we either match or were better than the Swans and seem to be playing better as the weeks go on (aside from a couple of hiccups along the way) eventhough at a slow pace. Improvement should only be looked at by performance and not results for such a young team...No doubt TAO you will disagree...

Its the responsibility of the club steward to be organising the rotations. They will be told at 10 to go, then 5 to go and then 1 to go which was the problem as 2 players came off at the same time putting us 1 over........

So who counts? Is that an AFL official?

We've got a great one there. A bit of getting used to the speed of the game, which took him about 2 mins, he'll be winning games for us. Sheezel was right, this kid is going to be something special, or the start of.

Afl and club stewards. Stewards are told at 10, 5 and 1...so no doubt stewards should have been more aware with 5 to go...

With what counts and what doesn't I can't believe there hasn't been a fugg up before.Who decides if its an injury? Obviously some are envious but some must be open to interpretation. How do you do that on the run?

All that said, it would be easier if any future interchanges were actually prevented from occurring.

The free for our doctors going on the field was a ripper .

Mate you'll see once I state something I don't tend to bore people with discussion on the subject.

I though do take on board others views, and appreciate your pov. Yes we've had some good moments for sure.

Wardlaw, Spicer, CCJ were 3 new green shoots, hope they all continue

Yeah I reckon that was an umpire stuff up they should have halted play.

We don't need to go last to get Harley, we just need west coast to go last, but second last might be helpful.

Trouble is, WCE get #1 but trade it to a Melbourne club for let's say, #3 and whatever else they have of value.

 

[Samsquanch]

Will Powell comes off for Tom Powell?

Okay then.

If you see them side by side you can't tell them apart. Will and Tom could be twins.

#3?

They have freo's pick dont they? Which is currently pick 9, giving them as its stands 9 and 15, vs our 2 and 16.

Ours would be about 1000 points better than melbourne.

But yeah, I don't know for sure how it would all wash out. I don't know if we even go that way, it depends on how this draft ends up looking by the end of the year.

Not Melbourne, a Melbourne club (the example I was thinking of was Hawthorne). Just hypothetical anyway. My point was that WCE could trade their #1 to some other club.

No doubt the AFL will introduce something because of this. Another North initiative.

A red light or something by the bench that turns on and can be seen by all on the ground that no more changes can be made.

It wouldn't have helped in this instance yesterday, because we had 2 players come off and exactly the same time for interchange number 75 and 76.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I wonder if Shiels coming off with cramp threw the rotations and interchange plans out of whack and they weren't ready for him? Like he just took himself off with little notice for the bench.

 

[Hopper10]

Just be thankful there’s no gambling happening on AFL games, some might think Hansie Cronje was the Steward on the counter?
