    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

    The umpire signalled the free for that was for a push in the back. From that picture, how could it possibly have been a push in the back?

    It was a mark anyway, so it didn't matter either way.

    It's amazing some of the calls the umpires get away with. That picture and the replay of Barry Hall almost having his head decapitated with the umpire calling play on doesn't give the AFL much to stand on.

    yet the geish will come out and say we are wrong and the umpires are right.

    Never argue with idiots, they just bring you down to their level. St Kilda fans are a special lot..i think it stems from their lack of success.

    Genuinely disagree on that. Watch the replay, Mattner hit him with his shoulder and didn't have arms outstretched in a marking attempt. The fact they hit the instant the ball arrived saved him from a report and suspension.

    The Saints fans were going berserk at Vosso and how Ryan could not pay the free to Hall is beyond belief, he was only a metre or 2 away from the contest. It was either too high or holding the ball.

    In the first Q we gave away about 4 professional frees to prevent their run into an open forward line. Smart play by Hall and a couple of others.

    Yeah agree on this one I thought it was a good decision, reminds me of of an old sketch on the Champions, they were trying to convince everyone in the crowd to call out "good Umpiring" every time the maggots got it right.

    Cheers

    I just don't understand why they get so cocky at times. They have won 1 premiership & more wooden spoons than any other club, yet their fans still think their team is heaven-sent.

    Deluded bastards!
