Yeah, this is where I get pissed off. It is obvious that McVeigh has at times abused the umpires. It is now obvious that the umpires now "target" him for #1 paying a soft free kick against him #2 paying a 50 metre against him when he reacts to the soft free kick. In other words, they bait...

Just what i said. Talking about history books, in Roman times when a Roman Emperor was just too bad, the senate would vote "Damnatio Memoriae" and the official record would erase all traces of the bad guy's principate on monuments, coin et.c . Ironically, the bad emperors are today much mo...

Filth. I happen to know Mark (aka Spike) a bit through a club program and I can tell you he is far from a raving lunatic, actually he is a really top bloke: mature, articulate, funny, good family man... Together with his work ethics, his passion and his skills he is a real asset for the club. I do n...

I am not so sure the rule is stupid, but I fear enforcing it might just be too difficult. Hand, wrist, arm... this should not be difficult to tell the difference but at a distance and in the middle of a fast action it is. These type of rules encourage inconsistent umpiring. IMO Umpiring is already g...

Don't believe the figures - 29,000 plus at this stage of the year?? Yeah Right!! Same sort of bullshit was trotted out last year - when the final figures were disclosed by the AFL we were well below he 36 plus thousand we were shouting about! Actually this is no BS, the club and the AFL have a diff...

You know, I used to admire America, in fact I'd venture to say there was no greater admirer of the U.S. than me.

It's a very uneven fight:

whatever crap Wallsy write it will sell newspapers.
Walls is in the BS business.

No matter how reasonable Sheeds answer is, if Essendon does not play finals this year Wallsy will say: "I told you so".
