Brace yourself for ordinary umpiring.


Up and coming umpires will probably be better than the prima donnas we’re used to. Umpiring in the VFL is infinitely better than the AFL

I live for the day when despite getting reamed by Umpire Ian Robinson in the first half - we’d still come out in the third quarter kick a lazy 8 goals and tell them all that they could stick it up their arse.

You would think that. But they'll get overruled by the senior umpire 100m away. Just watch.

Exactamundo.

Remember when Diesel got 44 possessions in a match back in 1993 (can't remember against who) when 40+ possessions was almost unheard of. The junior umpire naturally wanted to give him the 3 Brownlow votes but was intimidated by the senior umpire Johnny RUsso who hated Diesel and refused to give him any. Wanganeen won by 1 vote. Robbed.

The umpire in question apologized to Williams at a Brownlow night a few years later
Russo overruled him 3 times
So Diesel no votes
Apparently Diesel didn’t back chat the umps once that day as well

Was at that game. It was such a dominant performance, admittedly his first half was better than his second half. Can remember the gasps on Brownlow night when he didn’t get a vote that day.

Completely robbed.

Not just a Teague thing - I think the side has suffered this for quite some time now - Very rarely do we get off to a good start - I think the last time we did is when we were 5 goals to nil against Richmond then faded away .

It will be really interesting how team come out of this break it may suit some and not others - It has been good for us on the injury front with Betts and Harry being available

It has been a totally crap year lets hope our Blue Boys can bring us some joy to offset it


Maybe Teagey could get the womens team in to sort out their starting attitude. If the men can start playing like our awesome womens team, we are away... :-)

We get the jump for a change, then maintain that intensity for the remainder of the game.

I wonder if JSOS joins Cripps in the middle . Trained that way this week. I'd love to see that
Add Walsh in there and its a new look, with 2 big boys vs Viney and Petraccaand Oliver.

I have a good feeling about this game.

Cripps Curnow and Murphy with Pitto cleaning up a few in close works for me too.

There's been a few references made to Harry McKays impressive condition and form on the track since the break.

Levi and Harry will be a nightmare to handle. Both excellent marks.
Both can play FF and CHF.

Just have to win that ball.

In the same way that Bob Skilton is always referred to as “Triple Brownlow Medallist Bob Skilton” , Greg Williams should always be known as “Moral Triple Brownlow Medallist Greg Williams”.

Well said Agro
Great suggestions.
I will use that from now on.
Might see some traction.

Interesting to see Darcy Cameron may debut Thursday if Cox doesn't get up.

We were courting Darcy before the trade period but went cold on him, probably because Pitto was on the radar.

I watched Darcy play a few NEAFL games and I was impressed. Could see huge upside.

When we were courting him, I thoght he was a steal and a huge loss to Swans future ruck stocks.

Goch I hope our rrecruiters are proven right with Pittonet making his debut in Kreuzer's absence.

Sic 'em Pitto.

I'm really excited about Weiters. Was huge the first game, apparently was a stand out in match sim the other day. This guy can lead our backline and be in All Australian discussions for the next 10 years.

Yep. He'll be way better than Rance.
