Don’t worry Geeflog media will hush it down and say we are just naughty boys
is Roco the only mainstream sport's journo that's finally starting to begin to do their job these days?
What’s staggering is that these ’journos’ who do nothing else but watch and supposedly analyse AFL haven’t noticed this before. Haven’t got a whiff of it. Haven’t heard anything from an entire supporter group of a club with 100,000 members. Nothing.
Edit:Oops saw this was already posted. Sorry.
I think he was responding to this from Robbo.
I have numbers but I'll need to wait until AFL Tables updates for the week. We're definitely last but it is a question as to who is not at all close behind us.

Is that photo of Miller with knee on throat real otherwise he could be in trouble??
Start of the 4th Qtr the Tiges are defending deep and the ball is hacked forward and it hits Dusty and flies up into the air, after which Dusty catches the ball.
He was on his own and there was no contest between two players, so the umpires couldn’t play their favourite game: ‘sorry we didn’t see it’.
There’s absolutely no rational or acceptable reason for the umpires to have not called it a mark.
The thought of an agenda feels insane to think about, however the amount of ‘non calls’ is infuriating and impacts on the enjoyment of watching the game.

I’d say it is. I was at the game and I thought I saw him do that but have not seen any footage of it. TBH I don’t blame him, the boys were frustrated with the crap that was dished out to them from the Umpire opposition team.

I have been going to the footy since 1969
For us older fans remember when there was only one field umpire - they were the days
I simply NEVER remembering talking about umpiring as much as what is being talked about now in those days
Of course there were the odd bad decisions. there was some booing but I never ever remember going home and complaining ad nauseum about free kicks which is what is happening now
The game was far better umpired when there was only one guy, his interpretation and he stuck to it all game
I also dont remember players getting as wound as up as they do now
For each additional umpire over the years the game has changed for the worse
The constant whistling that goes on now does my head it - it completely stops free flow of the game and noone knows what t he hell the free is for or who is to take it
I know the AFL will not countenance any criticism of their game and keep saying it is in the best shape ever but it is not
It is becoming a huge turn off for fans
I'm pretty sure Pickett gives away 10 free kicks a week
And no wonder Bsker wants out. He has had his head ripped off his shoulders 2 weeks in a row for no whistle.
Boo the pricks. Don't stop just booo.
Put it on the banner. 'The Umpires are cheats"

That bloke will get life from the AFL for having the temerity to complain to the opposition Umpire team .
