    ... but it's still his opinion, and he's more than entitled to it.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Sure, he's allowed to be wrong.

    No bias, I'm sure if you dug up the threads around the time, many people were of the same opinion.

    Reporters are known to put people in their best, who many others did not recognise as being in the best. Many threads on that too I'm sure.

    Umpires/Brownlow votes constantly come under criticism when players who should get votes don't and players who should do.

    Explains why Bartel didn't win too many awards other than a Brownlow. It was other peoples opinions.

    Find a single report outside of fan messageboards that supports your opinion. Good luck. I'm afraid you are suffering from "a partiality that prevents objective consideration of an issue or situation".

    The difference between our positions is that there are unbiased media reports and umpiring evidence to support mine while you are using opinions from the fans of a defeated team to support yours.

    Why should I need to prove my opinion. Watch the game, most of his disposals in the first half of the game were very ordinary. The quality did improved in the 2nd half.

    Unbiased media reports?
    You obviously don't your local paper. I'm sure they'd be just as biased as the SA/Vic/NSW/QLD papers are.
