Everyone who hangs shit on him.

The frustration he generates seems, from my POV at least, to outweigh the fact that he seems like a wonderful young man.

Fair call, he does cop it a lot for sure.

How do you coach Brett Daniels after that? The poor kid is going to need therapy

I thought the two 50s against him and the call for advantage were all poorly umpired (these were my live thoughts, haven't watched any replays).

First one, Dunkley calls for the ball and umpire never said who the free was for. Benefit of the doubt.

Second one, he's been burnt once so he's making sure he gives it back to the right player and the umpire not only refuses to clarify, but then pings him 50.

Advantage, it all happened at the same time and should have been brought back. Daniels probably didn't even know there had been a free kick.

Chris Scott is the recently divorced daggy dad who has gone full makeover and still thinks he's a chance with the ladies.

Re: Week Two Finals Series

Just watched the last quarter again and still can't quite fathom how the Giants lost that game. They had so many chances to ice it and just made so many mental and physical mistakes.

You have to tip your hat to Brisbane - they were so cool in a crisis and didn't rush or panic when they had the ball, and most importantly, converted in front of goal when they had their chances - especially big Joey D at the end - Mr Clutch.

This was billed as chaos versus control, and for 3/4 the chaos of GWS was too good for the control of Brisbane. But when the whips were cracking in the last quarter, and the roles were reversed, it was Brisbane that reverted successfully to a chaos game whilst GWS completely lost control.

So this leaves us with 4 - can't really stand any of them but one will get to taste the ultimate in 2 weeks time.

There should be a rule in play, if a player calls for the ball (like Dunkley) did and he throws it back to him then no 50, it's such a big move for players to easily exploit, if he calls for it then it can't be time wasting which i guess is why that rule was brought in? Plus agree too with the other, once bitten, the ump should have been clear from the start who was to take the kick, umpire error cost him.

Nick Riewoldt was the first I ever remember doing it and from memory it went a long way to Freo losing a close game.

It's shithousery at it's worst and I can't stand it.

Was going to mention that exact incident earlier.

That and calling in the umpire to set the mark and then using the umpire to shepherd the defender are massive wanker issues that the AFL need to sort out.

Did you know Port were a younger team than the Hawks on Friday night.
