    Round 21 games

    I was looking forward to having a look at the Collingwood v StKilda game tonight, but alas channel 7 strikes right away in the first Qtr.

    Daisy stuffed a kick something shocking on the camera wing which grubbs along the ground, and Bruce's response (quote)"Thomas goes down the line". WTF?

    Then Maxwell takes a dive Greg Louganis would be proud of off a Gilbert nudge and Ch7s commentry states "Gilbert should know better than that giving away a free".

    Would you expect anything different from that commentary team.
    The curse is dead.

      That was Tom Harley, he's an absolute muppet. He fits in nicely with McAvaney and Cometti. It's going to be a looooooong few years with just 7 at the helm.

      I thought I'd seen it all in the AFL but again I'm left dumbfounded. Chris Tarrant gets reported for a shepard. The AFL sit back and scratch there double chins wondering why people are starting to turn away, it's not the blow outs that are causing it.

        I try to block out some of the 'comments' and try and enjoy the game.

        Absolutely staggered at the Tarrant report. Looked like a textbook bump that went nowhere near the head. Rules committee have the umpires jumping at shadows. Will go absolutely nowhere.

          Just flicked on to the Ch 7 report on GWS. Choco Williams has been in a very good paddock.

            This is almost scary, I was going to post almost the exact same, word for word.
            About how people are turned off due to a player getting reported for a Shepard not the blowouts. This was a joke! Wasn't even off the ball, wasn't high, wasn't overly aggressive! Soon the Afl will be a non contact sport.

              While we are on this game. Does anyone else think Collingwood are getting away with a lot of "moving FWD of the mark" non calls?? As well as contacting players after they have a mark?? I only notice now a days after the Murphy/Hooper 50m penalties from a few weeks back. Not that I'd ever accuse the AFL umpires of being inconsistent.

                Sure enough 1st qtr the dogs get a FWD of the mark 50m paid against them!
