Media outlets in general always going on about dream team and super coach and basing the better players on those stats.

This year for me;
1. Essendon Fans - James Hird is not Jesus in disguise. And an 8 goal loss cannot be blamed on umpires.
2. Collingwood Fans - Still think their the best team by a mile even if the Ladder reflects otherwise.
3. Carlton Fans - Sitting in the top 4 doesn't mean you will make the Grand Final. Having 4? First draft picks won't hurt.
3. Aker bagging Gia - He showed you, little twat. Notice his form following your ridiculous jealous comments of 'he is not upto AFL standard'? 6 weeks of pure brilliant football. Just fade out into the darkness already please.
There is no more dropping the ball rule, only holding the ball.
A player can get tackled & just let go of the ball, then it's classed as being knocked out because of the tackle. Some many players do it these days & nothing gets paid, hate it.

That people think that both teams should get similar numbers of free kicks from the umpires.
Don't for a second think that this hasn't been deliberately contrived by city hall, ie: respect umpire round, giving the umpires a profile far outside their natural station in the game. When someone like Shane McInernay is publicly praised for his wretched and game-changing decision in Riewoldt's favour in the 2009 PF, it merely confirms that the mug punter is being conditioned to accept all the garbage and hyperbole dished up in relation to the umpires.
Opposition team's supporters sitting amongst Bulldog members at a home game. Rats in the ranks, sneaky quiet until there is five minutes to go and they get up shouting once they sniff a win. I'd push them over the balcony if I was sure they wouldn't land on Bulldog supporters below.
and the extension to this, to somehow give more weight to their argument. they throw up virtually the whole squad e.g. "Your Hodge's, Franklin's, Rioli's, Mitchell's, Sewell's etc etc"
My bugbear has become the proliferation of twilight games on a Sunday, shelving any chance we had of growing a healthy membership base from young families. If you want to look at declining numbers, in 5 years time look back and analyse what effect this form of fixturing has achieved. At least with Oakley his disdain for us was out in the open.
Imagine if they paid a free kick whenever this happens? It would drive you mad. Why would you bother going for the ball in a congested situation...far better to sweat on the bloke going for it.
My pet hate is our own supporters latching onto something they don't like early on in a game and never letting go i.e. criticising Gia, Hill, Williams etc, yelling out "kick it, kick it" every time we grab the ball, "go forward" when there is no-one in front of the player with the ball. You get the idea.
Press conferences annoy me. Especially if it's Ross Lyon or Mick Malthouse speaking..... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
