Umpiring to watch off the ball NOW BBB has gone!

[Lohengrin]

For what it's worth I actually find it really interesting to see what fans of other clubs have to say. It's why I like to read the other bulletin boards. There's a lot of same same but different persepctives to be found.

Also confirms that it's only the most biased of other club supporters who think the Swans aren't the most harshly penalised team in the comp.

Yeah, it's amazing that every club thinks it's harshly done by on umpiring and anything the AFL does. Club sites combined would have to produce the biggest community of whingers in Australia.

In other words you're a troll who has no clue.

Enlighten me if you are up to it DA!!

You honestly don't know what it's for?

Kanga has been around here for ages.
As a general rule he/she contributes interesting posts.
Should know better than to open up a can of worms like this though.
I don't think supporters from other clubs will ever be able to add constructively to some threads, such as this one - either at RWO or on any otehr forum.

I think the point being made was that the AFL are not out to 'get' the Swans, and in fact they have done a hell of a lot over the years supporting the Swans and providing assistance (financial and otehrwise).
And I think they are pretty fair points.
The implication that the AFL are suddenly looking at off the ball incidents now because Barry Hall is gone is a bit silly.

Sucks to be us, and it sucks to be Barry Hall, but what's in the past is in the past, and better late than never.

Some people will still think extra $ to the Swans is unfair, some will say that some of the Vic based clubs are favoured through TV rights etc (I think I'd say that )
Then we have the 'draw' where some teams cop the better teams twice, and some get the weaker teams twice.
and priority picks.
Etc
Etc

I agree, you have made good points. My apologies to Kanga. I flared all to quickly (thinking about Umpires tends to rev me up). I don't need to read past posts AGAIN, to know that Kanga is usually reasonable, and I don't need to be patronised because of RWO join date, and I am tired of hearing about the extra $ for the Swans, but I do withdraw the peanut comment.

Anyway, I reckon Buddy gets just as rough a deal as BBBH, ever did.

True, however Buddy still got a lot more frees paid to him than Barry ever did.

Could not believe they finally decided to police this after BBB left

Sadly for Baz its too little too late.

Only from the Swans. Imagine how many frees will be payed against B2 when he plays on Baz next year!

I'm quite looking forward to seeing that actually.
