Appalling umpiring. Stevic against the Saints. Should be dropped for that.

Well thank goodness. Sanity prevails. Hocking is an idiot.

Which is a huge problem. If they want to take contested ball collisions out of the game, then legislate it before the season. Making a rule after the event should not be retrospective to the event that starts this debate. And I say that this is the event that started the debate, because it is...

Thought I would pop over to offer some support for your boy. If he gets rubbed out tomorrow night, then the contested aspect of our game, that has made it great over the last 100 plus years, will be on its last legs. If blokes are supposed to conduct a risk analysis on every contest they...

Brad Scott anyone? Will save us some cash. On a serious note, it seemed to me, as very much an outsider, rightly or wrongly Pyke had to go. Last years pre-season camp was surely the main catalyst. Lost a lot of the players then it seems.

Just popped over to see how things are here with all of the fallout in the last week. Can't help but feel for you people with everything that has happened (even though I'm still hurting after 1998) Anyway my view on the GF is that it should not automatically be at the MCG. For arguments sake...

No I am not. I am saying some of our players needed a rest. That is all I am saying. In my opinion we would have struggled to beat the Tigers if we had not rested players. All I am saying is we have given our players the best possible chance to be fresh in our next game, being an EF, against...

No I'm not suggesting that what we say matters, but I am suggesting that the club needs to put this behind them and have the players focusing solely on next weeks game. Because if the club maintains the rage in a public sense, in my opinion it has the potential to impact on the players mindset...

And as a further thought before I more than wear out my welcome, is everyone at Crowland nee Thanks mate. Maintaining the rage I see. Might be best for you and your club to move on from this because your boys have a game to play next Saturday night. Don't give the players another excuse not...

Just by the way, if you take North out of the equation; and you can as far as the Cats v Crows and Lions v Dogs games were concerned yesterday; Adelaide stuffed up themselves by losing to Geelong. Don't try to blame another party for yesterday's outcome. Blame yourselves. However if you want...

Sorry but that is pure b*******

Sorry to contradict you there mate, but we followed the protocol. Have a read of this link. The AFL changed the rules after Freo's mass resting of players two years ago. http://www.fremantlefc.com.au/news/2015-08-30/lyon-to-seek-afl-approval-to-rest-players

I think you might view this differently if the roles were reversed. We rested players solely because we needed to get our players in the best physical condition to play an Elimination Final, wherever that might be scheduled next week. That is all it was about. Barring an extraordinary turn of...

Excellent post.

That would surely be the most absurd outcome out of this. Firstly our club wrote to the AFL to seek permission to rest a number of players. The AFL considered the request and approved it. I know they are travelling badly the AFL, but to then turn around and ban us from the finals would be...

Just thought I'd mention that North will no doubt bow out next week. But seems that last night's result meant nothing anyway. Right now the Lions are up by 16 against the Dogs and if they continue you could have a home final. Wait, what was that result down at Skilled? Oh the Cats by 40...

I haven't read right through this thread, but I for one would not be considering withdrawing my membership. The Tippett/Trigg/Reid fiasco is not the fault of the club as a whole, rather just those involved. And while I may be missing some of the facts, as I understand it others in the club's...

I would just like to pay tribute to all those boys retiring from your club. The first 4 have been wonderful players while Hentschel could have achieved so much more had he not been sadly cut down by injuries. As an opposition supporter I hated the way they used to cut us up whenever we played...

I doubt if he will play. I suspect it is just a ruse to give the Pies brains trust something to think about. But if he does play, play him in the goalsquare and force Collingwood to put their best defender on him. He might struggle first game back but he will do his job by tying up the...
