Chat with 2 umps and captains about the safety of the pitch


Keep going you sooks

Ball bounce 3 inches more then it should have after hitting a crack, India want to call it off.
Seriously, how soft are batsmen. This is why we get MCG like pitches

Get off Smith whats with his head shaking all the way off in disbelief every time he gets out?

A wonder Mr Fidgety didn't ask for a review for this dismissal.....about the 1st time all summer he hasn't - get off!

I reckon he's shaking his head because he's p!ssed off with him self for getting out, nothing to do with disbelief, IMO.

Go cry in the change room, reeks of spoilt little terd.

Alex Carey would have got us over the line.

Easily Happy Gilmore, from Part time Hockey player to winning the Tour Championship after being 4 shots down against Shooter McGavin on the back 9.
Tell me, who else is making that putt.
Nobody.

Yeah, but Not everyone's dad is high performance manager tho.

Hence why Andrew Simonds is smashing them, same conditions as when he was playing.

Great site to see. Embarrassing how Aussie batsmen play it.

Because we haven't had a good spinner for some time now.

The 2nd half of this season hasn't been anywhere near as bad as it has previously been.

Worst goal review over rule ever. Clear goal.

Nic Nat 1 match for a strong tackle. Total Crap.

West Coast have a responsibility to the game to challenge Nic Nats ban. Absolute joke thats a week. Its a free kick for in the back and nothing more. I watched nearly every game over the weekend and there was 2 things that stru ck me with tackling.
I reckon there was at least 6-8 occasions where you could see a bloke was going to be run down and in each case the tackler clearly got into the back much like Natanui but you can just tell the umpire is gooing to pay holding the ball before he is even tackled. His mind is made up becaues you can see what is going to happen. You still need to be tackled correctly.
The 2nd was players getting pinged for holding the ball when the tackle barely retarded them at all. Very quick on the whistle

MRP said Nic Nat had both his arms pinned before driving him into the ground.
1) Never drove him, just momentum of 110kg guy going forward.
2) 1 of Amon arms are free.
3) Deemed as High Contact,it's not.

Game will be Gaelic Football in 5 years.

West Coast v Richmond next week will be a ripper.

That was some serious footy by West Coast.
Jack Redden and Jack Darling would be close to the most improved players in the comp.
Only if we could do that at the MCG.

Simpkin got off, as he should have.

Sounds like fun. 3 blokes, sitting around at a pub, whinging about everyone and everything.

Worst review ever.
Umpire calls touched, Goal umpire calls touched.
They review it for some reason, clearly touched. Called goal.
Embarrassing.

Armchair expert wrote:WORST FREE EVER

Almost reportable against Gray, and he gets the free kick.

Umpiring is at an all time low, it's appalling the amount of incorrect disposal the game currently allows in the name of keeping the ball moving.

Im not one to defend umpires, and whilst I've seen several bad calls this season, overall I dont think it's too bad. I miss the days of "Jesse" James handing out his own judge, jury and executioner on the field which quickly brought players in to line.

The umps these days have to contend with:

- More congestion than ever
- Fast game than ever
- Interpretation changes mid-season
- Flavour of the week rules

Not an easy gig by any means

It's an impossible gig because we keep adding rule upon rule. Take a step back, reduce the amount of rules, make it simple, so umpires aren't calling on rules that they can only get right less then 50% of the time.

Typical Sydney Scrums game.

Well west coast cant win the flag, the same blokes that go missing in the big games are still there, still dominating in Perth, cant get a kick on the road. Buyer beware Gaff and McGovern. Kennedy, Cripps and biggest front runner LeCras. Im still not convinced on Darling either

Same amount of scoring shots. We were slightly off after the bye, especially going forward. Kept coming tho. Could have thrown the towel in.
McGovern played a Genuine CHb tonight and played well on Buddy.
Correct on LeCras. Cripps is a spastic. Can't have Jetta,Cripps,Masten and LeCras in the same side.
Rough on Kennedy, delivery was horrid tonight, and playing FF, your opportunities are only as good as your mid field allows.
Sydney needed to win this match more than WC did and it happened.

Yeah agreed, due for a loss, 10 in a row these days is tough.
The 2 indigenous lads were a worry tonight too, combine them with the 4 yoiu mention and theres your reason for the loss. Their inability to provide a contest against the likes of Lloyd, Smith and Jones killed you. Grundy shouldnt be beating anyone.
Doesnt Cripps normally play shut down on someone like Lloyd?

Rioli was poor, but had Smith on him tonight, and Willie has played 10 games against an AA.
Ryan coming off a 10 week ankle. Risky selection, didn't pay off tonight, couldn't chase.
WC has 3 blokes coming off 4 week injuries. Shuey,Masten,Ryan, and a debutant in Brander.
No, Cripps is a retard, provides nothing but a hazard to everyone, my TV and anyone around me.

Just catching up with the aftermath now.


What was Mickelson doing???
Yes that was interesting, as was the interview with the USGA officials. They pinged him 2 shots for hitting a moving ball.

Got me wandering though would a lesser known, or a non yank get DQ’d? Thats handy to know....might use this on the 2nd at Thaxted when the pins are sitting on one of the 2 back mounds where its tough to get them to effectively stop on a dime....

Tough, it's impossible to get them to stop on that hole.

All I want to know is if we played a nice friendly game of cricket, where everyone was friends and we played the game in a nice spirit.

No, she is very good. Only favs because she is on them. 20x better than Lindop

Port over 100 tackles
23 shots from 38 inside 50s.
Very good numbers

All this why Khawaja has reeled off 2 tons playing for Glamorgan last week. Must be pumped seeing Stoinis at 3.

Head has to bat at the top because he can’t play spin.

Bloke did throw a full beer can at him. You can understand the blow up. He had a member of his crew injured a while back with someone throwing stuff up on stage why they perform.

#PrayforSydney

Question for anyone that might be in the know ... Mate has shares in a horse that just runs like a busted ass. On most occasions it's run well enough up til the straight, but once they get there and it's "go time" this thing just has no interest in running. Apparently finishes every race without any sign of puff or sweat or the like. Anyone know of any ways to get a horse interested in chasing?

Some trainers chuck them over some jumps to switch them on.

zero issue with the state of the game.... Sick of everytime their is a bad game the media kick up a stink... Every professional sport has bad games, they dont instantly look for changes...

Of course you don’t mind congestion. Sydney and Paul Roos were the ones who set the standard for it and Now Longmire. Any rules resulting in less congestion or even the last touch out of bounds rule would destroy Sydney and there style of play.

Exactly what would happen to Sydney every week if they didn't use COLA to get Franklin

I think he got a rough deal. More a victim of circumstances then a 'pull up'. I've seen much worse.

Serious question.
Who would be the highest paid wingman in the AFL?
Wingman use to be second rate on ballers years ago

Robbie Flower, Wayne Schimmelbusch, Phil Matera all say hi!

Peter Matera
Phil was the very good small forward.

Great test match. Not a 5 day boring batting sesh.

You might not have coke but you’ve got plenty of choke, going on West Coasts last 2 games at Adelaide Oval against you lot.

Franklin factor claims another

Absolutely, circa 1992-1998 it was train, race/walk home as quick as we could to get home and watch it.

I reckon I've sat through 15 minutes in the last 5 years.

Funny, people on Twitter / FB saying "Look at all these people who don't watch it commenting on how shit it is"

Well, I've never been to Ayers Rock, but I know it's there.

That’s because back then, it was the only football show on air. The news and reviews for the week were breaking on that show right then.
Now we have too many journo’s and a plethora of footy shows every night of the week, any news has already been discussed to death.
That’s why people won’t sit up and watch it anymore, we are spoilt for choice now.

You’re certainly not the only one mate!

James Faulkner written all over him.

I see him as a bowler who would struggle to get a top order batsmen unless they are trying to put him out of the park.
Very Good T20 bowler

[quote="Wedgie"]Terrible game to watch after last week's SANFL Grand Final.
Was fun finding a dickhead Crow supporter at the pub tonight who has never had any interest in the SANFL who has been telling us for the last four weeks how North Adelaide wouldn't win each week of the finals.
As he walked out the door after I said a word or two the big man didn't look happy, sheepishly his missus looked at me and said well played, well played.

Seriously. You are a ****.
You drag this site down.
You are a disgrace in the position you are in within his site.

It took 3 pretty special moments in 1 play to beat Collingwood.
