I'm glad for Diesel that he's feeling better for it, but reading the article I think he's putting a more positive spin on Jackson's word than the supremo intended.

Always thought he would go on another year at least if they handled that better. Would be a small fine these days. Still the best player to watch play for me.

Now what about awarding the 1993 Brownlow medal to him

Remember the round 22 game against Melbourne, Williams was the absolute dominant player on the game, and a game he really behaved himself finifhing with 44 possessions?
Junior Umpire wanted to give Williams the obvious votes he earned, but was vetoed (illegally) by that shit senior Umpire...what's his name? Help Agro?

This is fact following this admission by the junior umpire of the day.

Should never be forgotten and should always be raised as outstanding unfinished business by the AFL.

What about the non free kick to Andrew Walker at the close of the 2011 Semi final.

Bastards

What about the mark of the year? They still use his in promos, never Krakouers.

Not to mention the absolutely atrocious umpiring in the same game.. disgusting.

Junior umpire was Bird (first name Murray I think) the senior umpire was John "it's all about me" Russo.

Who was the flowering umpire who picked up SOS's fingers in the goal square after they were severed when he touched Michael Longs kick in the 1993 Grand Final.


No doubt related to the umpire who missed the fingers of Simon Wiggins smashing into the ball in that game against Geelong in 2002.

Yeah that kick after the siren of Peter Riccardi's was dropped perfectly on the boot, but tumbled through the air worse than any Kernahan helicopter, clearly touched.

As for Michael Longs run and goal. Umpires too caught up in the theatre of the moment to deflate everyone by calling it touched. However, nothing would have helped us that day. Worst day at the football ever. We were gone 10 minutes into the first quarter when Wallis flattened Hanna off the ball and not one single Carlton player remonstrated

We had one go our way much earlier, dying minutes of the 1970GF, Blues 4 points up, ball deep into the Collingwood forward line, McKenna clearly pushed in the back, play on, ball rebounds forward of centre, Jezza swoops, left foot snap, bounced 40 yards end over end. Sealer. Collingwood fans go absolutely ape shit. Carlton fans go to Heaven.

Nothing to see in 1979 with Harmes Sheldon, ball clearly in.

I am outraged that you have even mentioned it - its a non issue

According to most Collingwood supporters I know Wayne Harmes was in the front foyer of the Old Hilton Hotel on Wellington Parade when he tapped it back in.

@#$%&! Russo, John Russo. Registered.

I'm going to think this through...there is plenty of ways of getting that flower back in the news.

John....makes me want to flush him

Not going to argue if he was pushed or had the ball punched but I reckon he held it long enough to be awarded the mark. Yeah I was there along with all the other great CFC moments. of the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

70 was the game my older brother left in disgust at half time. He got home half way through the last quarter put the radio on and taped Harry Beitzel and especially Jezza's goal.

It's bouncing, it's bouncing, it's bouncing, it's bounced through. Carlton are going to win the Premiership. They're blah, blah, blah.

I still play it sometimes. Not recently as I think the tape is so brittle now I'm scared it would just crack.



Oh what a day.

And '93 and Diesel's Brownlow. It should be taken off the Essendon*** good ordinary player and given retrospectively to the rightful owner.


The AFL has investigations in to everything else, why not that.


Also, J. Russo is a lawyer I believe. Need to be a fit and proper person. One of good character. This example alone disqualifies him. IMHO.
