Of course they won’t. The more appeals there are the more it adds to the media cycle 👎

'Stupidest one yet': Verdict in for Pickett as Dees' bizarre Tribunal case savaged

Five years is plenty to get it right. Surely Nicks goes if they can’t turn it around.

'Suffering from paralysis-by-analysis': Adelaide Crows have gone from box office sensation to under-performing turkeys

Time to reinstate the additional one week penalty for these ridiculous stupid appeals.

What are you on about Don ?

Six Points: Clutch kings do it again, footy's dirtiest player, and debunking 'Vic-centric' fixture myth

Four wins zero losses on the official AFL Ladder. What are you looking at ?

Players are getting away with too much dissent this year. The total opposite of what was occurring last year. Need to get the balance right. When players are still arguing with the umpire a full minute after the initial decision it’s totally out of line.

Mistaken identity? Docker at centre of dissent controversy claims he abused HIMSELF as AFL ticks off drama

I’m ok with one week but Pickett should get more particularly given his history.

So he missed then ?

The MCG is the biggest ground argument is short sighted and makes it seem like a vic competition with a few token interstate teams chucked in to increase national revenue and help prop up a few ailing vic teams. Oh hang on that’s what it actually is 😛

Personally I’m happy for the Blues to play Freos home game in Adelaide every year 😛

Yep a number of those frees could have been called play on and no one would have thought twice about it. Picking out a missed call at the end of the game is cherry picking at best. As for the second free well when a player is still arguing with the umpire more than a minute later it’s the least you would expect to happen.

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

Mostly agree with this. The grand final situation is ridiculous given we are now 35 years into a national comp. But it appears we’re stuck with it until at least 2057.

That’s the way I like it Macca. The less talk about the Blues the better. I just want to keep counting the wins.

Did he even hit him high ? I saw Fyfe reach for his upper chest/shoulder, but didn’t see any impact to the head. And at least Fogarty was actually contesting for the ball, not intending to hit the player.

Pickett is a grub, no doubt about it

They went on with it for far too long. I get a sudden negative reaction to a decision you may not agree with but it quickly reaches a point where players should pull their head in.

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

Freo got 6 goals from free kicks. That leaves a paltry 3 without umpire assistance. Wow, just Wow !!

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

I’ve rechecked the scoreboard. Carlton scored a paltry 73 points but it was still enough to beat Freo. A team can’t expect to win if it only scores 9 goals.

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

Freo only scored 63 points. That’s not a winning score. Their opposition scored more than them. This is why they lost.

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

Well written Tim. Freo choked yet again in a game against the Blues. The incessant whinging by their players and supporters is laughable and really quite pathetic. The better team with the highest score, most scoring shots and least free kicks in their favour won the game. Goodnight !

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

Ratten may not have been the “one” but he was certainly better than the next three coaches that followed. Sticks Kernahan and Greg Swann have a lot to answer for and both jumped ship quickly when it became obvious how wrong they got it.

The problem with coaches staying too long: Will Brisbane have the courage to punt Fagan if they don't contend?

Cripps should have got 3 weeks but then he wouldn’t have won the Brownlow 😁

Only 4 points off a premiership last year so it would appear crazy to move him on any time this year. Agree though that most clubs wait too long, and repeat their failure year after year. Carton have been criticised for sacking coaches, but the criticism should have been for appointing the wrong ones in the first place.

Yeah I agree. Time for you to move on. You don’t belong here.

You sound just like a LNP voter with one of those fake heavily biased sky is falling in claims.
