Just to confirm Don – the AFL is instructing the umpires to favor Carlton over Freo to influence the result of the games. Is that what you are saying?
Or are the umpires doing this themselves without AFL involvement?
Be good to understand who should sue you for defamation.

Love to whinge about the latest umpiring shocker? That's exactly what the AFL wants from you

mrl is not funny.
The End.

Macca is 100% correct.
People who claim arranged outcomes by the AFL and by extension the umpires are delusional.
Yes, games are often decided by appalling umpiring decisions.
No, that does not mean it’s all a big conspiracy.
Fair enough being apoplectic about the umpiring, but that’s as far as it goes.

Have to admit we got a very good run with the umps last night.

Footy Fix: The worst grand final rematch ever just proves the Pies have slightly fewer problems than Brisbane

Only one of these groups is telling the other how to live their lives. You can believe in whatever sky fairy you want, however it doesn’t mean you can ban books and rule over women’s bodies.

Happy Easter roar peeps. BTW nobody came back to life. Grow the f up.

Can’t argue with any of that, at 0-3 and facing Brisbane at the Gabba I’d take a win against the Helen Keller 22.

Macca – cute kicks look stupid when they fail and Einstein when they work. Let’s respect players who have a crack.

Fair play Don – Freo looked very good.

What absolute tosh.
Worth noting every time someone has a moan about Collingwood it puts a little skip into the step of supporters. Especially when it’s just predictable rot.
You should charge Collingwood rent for your headspace.

Worth remembering that BT and Brayshaw being terrible commentators is not Collingwood’s fault. Most Collingwood supporters (certainly me) agree they are the 2 worst commentators and should be binned.

Gaff intentionally swung an arm at Brayshaw and so is liable for the consequences. Did he intend to break his jaw – almost certainly not. In the event there was a send off rule, yes Gaff should be sent off.

Webster intentionally hit Simpkins late and so is liable for the consequences.

I personally don’t believe Maynard jumped with the intention of bumping Brayshaw, I believe he jumped to smother the ball. If it can be proven Maynard jumped to incite contact with Brayshaw then he is liable for the consequences.

We are arguing different parts of intention, I’m saying the action itself is intentional and so the player is liable for the consequences. I think you are arguing the intention of the consequences. Note – I could be wrong like that time in 1996.

Leigh Matthews is wrong - the AFL doesn't need a send-off rule, and introducing one would just make things messier

Good point Knackaz – there is absolutely no way a woman would be sufficiently capable in a football related job. Get back in the kitchen!

'Dripping in inequality and stupidity': Footy is back... and so is AFL interference

For the people that constantly whine about GWS and the Suns getting a leg up, please confirm you are also happy for your club to get less money as the broadcast rights would be less.
Probably the same people that complained about Sydney, and Brisbane, and Adelaide, and Freo joining the comp.
Please understand that a national competition is the only way to grow the game – which is to the benefit of ALL clubs.

'Dripping in inequality and stupidity': Footy is back... and so is AFL interference

If you think the Webster and Maynard incidents are comparable, you best get your eyes checked as only one is working.
Intention 100% must be part of the conversation. How can unintentionally injuring someone be met with a send off?

Leigh Matthews is wrong - the AFL doesn't need a send-off rule, and introducing one would just make things messier

If Maynard would have been sent off then the rule would be unworkable. It would only work for a Webster type clear malicious incident – Maynard incident was not.

You are correct Melbourne should have won that game – couldn’t kick a goal for love nor money.

I would have lost my mind if I was a Swans supporter. But to suggest it was an organised conspiracy is blatantly ridiculous. You were on the wrong end of a terrible umpiring performance – that’s it.

Six Points: Meet the AFL's dumbest team, and the most ridiculous ban in MRO history

Just confirming you guys are stating that the AFL explicitly told the umpires to favor Western Bulldogs in the Grand Final against Sydney in 2016.
AND the umpires accepted this blatant corruption and cheating and carried out the order.
Is that what you are suggesting? Or you are both just full of it?

Gold Coast did what YOU told them to do?
Thank god they were listening!
Could you please tell Collingwood players to try harder, have some form of a defensive gameplan, and improve the run & carry.
I sincerely hope THEY are listening.

'In hindsight I should have stopped': Cox apologises over pre-match Giants coach altercation after AFL's 'please explain'

Leigh Matthews would play about 4 games a year if he was around these days. His sniping has been brushed under the carpet for years. A thug.

AFL Oracle: A prelim finalist ALWAYS misses the eight the year after - so who will it be in 2024?

Don – you should put some money on Freo.
Paying very nice odds to finish top 2 or premiers.
And it’s such a certainty it’s almost too easy.
I’m organising a re-mortgage to free up funds right now.

Is that humble pie you are eating Macca? All of the claims that Josh would get top 10 ahead of players like Gulden and he didn’t even make top 50. And he’s not better than Nick, not even close.
