    When the cowardly Bailey Fritsch played on to snap rather than take the easy set shot from 20m out straight in front. They really are afraid of success at Melbourne.

    Not a fan of the blatant disrespect shown to the umpire there. Maybe I’m alone as everyone else seems to think it was great.

    It all depends on what the umpire said to Gawn in the first place. The umpires have been very chirpy recenty. I'm not a huge fan of Melbourne or Gawn but sometimes you just have to speak up.

    I read that before he was recruited, Bailey would do all his resistence training and only when he was stuffed would he practise his skills. Good for last quarter when it really counts.

    Oh dear, really? I'm not a fan of the ham-fisted disrespect shown by the adjudicators and custodians of the game sanctioning utterly appalling decisions like the one that prompted Gawn's - let's be honest - pretty tepid, tongue in cheek retort.

    I seldom go the umps, their gig's a tough and thankless one, but found the umpiring yesterday sufficiently and irritatingly intrusive that it was regular distraction from the bloody contest. The routinely baffled look on player's faces whenever the whistle's blown until it's made clear whose free it actually is, speaks volumes.

    Gawn fended an opponent off with an open palm to the chest while effecting an overhead tap. If that's verboten now then Bevo truly was ahead of the curve in his efforts to expunge ruckmen from the game.

    That's called terrible comedy, big boy.

    Sorry, what was the context? I was at the game but haven’t seen the replay.

    It's not the umpires fault the rules are baffling. I thought his response was more disrespectful than a frank 'that's bullshit'.

    Free was paid against Gawn for Dunkley's second goal. When he stuck out his arm. Like all frees in the ruck I have no idea if it was fair or not because I don't know the rules for ruckmen and they never seem consistent or logical.

    Gawn used his hand to fend off Dunkley in the third quarter. As per usual the game came to a complete halt while the umpire sorted out who the free kick was paid to and Gawn was completely shocked that the free was paid against him and asked "why?" The umpire said "You pushed him out of the contest" and Gawn waved his hand about in the air and said "That's just ruck craft big boy" I don't see what the fuss is about personally, if you make a mistake then you need to own it and admit you were wrong. And the umpire made a mistake.

    They changed the ruck rule back in the early 2000s to stop ruckmen (mainly Luke Darcy) from grabbing the ball out of a ruck contest by deeming that the ruckman had prior opportunity and could be tackled straight away. They changed the rule back to the old method over the off season.

    That’s the one aspect of the ruck contest I do understand the rules about. Everything else is a mystery to me.

    Me too. How is it they can wrestle each other, and sometimes it is a free and other times play on.

    I learnt something today (at least I think it's correct). If a ruckman impedes the jump of the other ruckman it is a free against. Explains a lot of freekicks that have otherwise left me baffled in the past if it is correct.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right
