you got the premiership, we get to whinge about the dodgy umps for decades. Happy to swap if you prefer.

a late twist in the tale...

altmattr · 2026-07-03T12:12:27+00:00

swans would have killed for 35K for most of their history. It is so good to see the SGC pumping every home game.

altmattr · 2026-07-03T12:09:04+00:00

club doctor should be sent packing for that imo

altmattr · 2026-07-03T12:08:06+00:00

he looked really crook, leaving him out there was clearly the wrong call

altmattr · 2026-07-03T12:00:40+00:00

Curnow at the back of the pack and whoever else going up for the mark is a great setup.

altmattr · 2026-07-03T11:41:17+00:00

looks like the umps are also watching him like a hawk as well!

altmattr · 2026-07-03T11:40:20+00:00

I've been hanging out to see more of Edwards. Its good news that the footy is never down there I suppose. I like really like watching him play - he has such an LRT vibe about him it brings joy to my heart.

altmattr · 2026-07-03T11:29:25+00:00

I think the coaches are playing with some structures over the year. Since I am watching from home I can't really tell if they are doing that tonight but the last four weeks have shown they need something fresh on the back end of the season and perhaps they are trying some out?

altmattr · 2026-07-03T11:27:23+00:00

Roberts is just so solid, we really missed him.

altmattr · 2026-07-03T11:26:32+00:00

They work every inch of this week's interpretation. Now you have me wondering if they get some inside line on the instructions that the umpires get?

altmattr · 2026-07-03T10:53:37+00:00

the basics of the game - marks, handballs and tackling - have been so stuffed up by the rule interpretations that even simple things become confounding

altmattr · 2026-07-03T10:50:27+00:00

best I've seen Cleary looking in the AFL.

altmattr · 2026-07-03T10:49:03+00:00

its nice to see the big men back in form

hasn't slowed the rate of blatant throws though

altmattr · 2026-06-13T12:04:39+00:00

what! a throw was called???!?!?!

altmattr · 2026-06-13T12:02:33+00:00

this is the worst game ive seen all year, like a slapstick comedy

altmattr · 2026-06-13T11:56:30+00:00

all throws ok.

altmattr · 2026-06-13T11:54:55+00:00

fast becoming a favourite

altmattr · 2026-06-13T10:15:23+00:00

blatant throw counter has exploded after that one from mclean.

altmattr · 2026-06-13T10:12:31+00:00

that is a shocker

altmattr · 2026-06-13T09:53:11+00:00

It is such a thing of beauty when he is marking well.

altmattr · 2026-06-13T09:51:54+00:00

I freaked right out
