I question goal umpires questioning their own decision when it’s blatantly obvious.

It's been overdone. Good concept but with the appropriate technology to support it.

It really stopped the flow of the game
Re: The Monday Soap Box - Round One
Okay, I was fuming when I came home but somehow I decided to watch the replay and to be honest I thought the commentary team did a great job at just calling the game. My rant is that that level of commentary needs to be the standard for the season.
Hudson, Johnson, Lewis and Hill really worked well together.

The Ch 7 Saturday night coverage at Pissant Park was dire. Luke Darcy, Hame, Jobe, Ling, Erin Phillips (great player, pretty awful media talent) is about as unwatchable as the footy on the TV gets.

The Food Van at Footscray v Werribee at WO on Saturday.
For the 2nd week in a row I'm having a rant about this. Last week the ice cream van disappeared before the end of the game. It was 35 degrees and everyone wanted an ice cream. This week we had a food van selling snags in a roll for $10.
Yes $10 for a 60c roll and one of those God awful thin sausages that cost about 60c you can buy from Woolies.
It took 10 minutes to get it. The dude asked me if I wanted cheese. I said "yes sir" so he gave me the sausage roll without the cheese. When I said 'hey mate you forgot the cheese" he looked at me as though I was starting an argument.
First he rips me off then he gets gnarly with me!
Well the Doctor is bang on with this. The club should be able to organise things a bit better than this. I popped in and was surprised at the pricing especially given how poor the standard of the food was.
I get that everything is going up but why is the quality of the food going down at the same time?

Considering his jumper was XL it was easy to spot.

Bailey Williams joking around ten mins after the game.
I know it's irrational, yes Rocco i know, but it still pissed me right off!
I had just decided not to put my head in the oven and then saw this!

Re: The Monday Soap Box - Round One
My soapbox is I had to watch that sniping grub Kosie Pickett play.
He was bloody suspended in Melbourne's last game of the year.
I spent all summer content in the fact I wouldn't have to put up with his smug punchable face come round one...
Thats why I'm pissed off with round zero, nothing to do with fairness or equality...

One of my pet hates is music & announcements blaring. I now where noise cancellation headphones - it doesn?t block out much but at least I go home without a headache.
Add to that at MCG the still adverts were still showing on big screen when play had restarted during many passages of play, really unprofessional.
Re: The Monday Soap Box - Round One
Poor grammar, sorry woofers.
Wear not where.
Edit doesn?t work for me, my whole post disappears when I try to edit.

I'm actually not going to a game until they stop this crap.
