I believe he was the umpire that Hird accused of being a cheat a couple of years ago. So his loyalties might be torn.

Yes, so torn that he developed a split personality. His good side will favour Essendon his bad side will grind Swans into the paddock.

[TheHood]

If it was Goldy, then we'd be basically better off forfeiting.

Hopefully Scotty Mc will get a little confused and red is red and pay them equally down the line.

[Glenn]

One Mc to many on the umps list for the game.
Good to see Tadgh and Nick D back in the side.

Scott McLaren is 1000x worse than Goldspink. Goldie is stuffed to everyone, McLaren has something major against the Swans.

[woo]

goldspink is back this week.....fyi..just heard it on fox..think he is doing the carlton game ...dont quote me on that

[573v30]

We've got home ground advantage, surely McLaren is going to pay a few free kicks our way.

[DST]

If both Kennelly & Davis play that is very close to our best 22.

Just need Crouch back into it for Bevan for a little more pace and poise and LRT for someone to give us that extra tall down back for flexibility.

Come to think of it, we could really use LRT this week especially if Sheedy thows Ryder forward which is likely considering there is no real match up for him down back.

Don't hold your breath,the reason why it happens at subiaco is because of the vocal crowd.The Sydney crowds are too quiet and i reckon you get more yelling from a deaf mute.

rusty14 says "Paddy will kill o'laughlin."

If that happens i reckon we'll move O'Loughlin onto him. Thoughts?

[NMWBloods]

Paddy Ryder is very very impressive.

O'Laughlin,was he promoted from the rookie list? Gee the commentators are going to get between him and O'Loughlin.
