As for the umpires, the umpiring has never been better in 2016. Admittedly the umpiring was a bit bewildering in the GF, but that I think that was due the umpires wanting the WB to win. Other than the natural basis of the umpires, they decipher the free kicks much better than we do.


Oh dear.We will see how Travis goes in a Dogs jumper shall we. FMD

Totally agree with everything Thompsoc said. We need to get away from the corporate takeover of the AFL and back to grassroots football where the CFC evolved. The condemnation of comments of Eddie towards Caroline Wilson stunk of political correctness and fear of loss of sponsorship of the CFC. So the conclusion is we can no longer say what we think but have to preface our thoughts by pandering to every minority group in society. We are no longer living in a free society imo but in a society dictated by the few against the majority. The natural conclusion of all this is that at some point in time, the majority will rebel and the Populists like Pauline Hanson will fill the vacuum will become the government and that will spell doom for all of us.

That is an example of good umpiring??? Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

And the GWS penalty has been handed out.


Drumroll: $100,000 fine and the loss of 1,000 draft points

Typical and expected outcome from the AFL. Corrupt and as manipulative as ever.

Seeing they fully finance GWS the fine is inconsequential. Also, chances are that they will combine later picks to make up the 1000 points.

Well Member you do whinge more about the AFL than me whinging about Blair.
However, under the current AFL commission a vote by more than two thirds of the clubs can overturn any AFL commission decision.
What is the likelihood of that happening????
About zero!
So if the AFL is corrupt then so are the clubs.
