  2. I must say when I clicked on the article, I saw the venue was Docklands…
    Thought that was strange for this type of match, but I feel it was put as that because there is a potential boxing event occurring between these 2 teams

  3. quick one
    keep rioli jnr or grab butler, points probably not going to matter. Butler going to stay? Points better than mrj?
    TU keep rioli jnr
    TD trade him to butler for extra cash this week
    thx

    1. Butler has been named on the wing, if that means anything to you. I see it as potentially good JS as he isnt on the bench. If you aren’t looking for points and only cash it isn’t bad to trade Rioli if you instantly need cash.

      Call is definitely related to the true intentions of the move

  4. Big day today! Pies looking for 3rd win in a row! Very nervous. Got the vc on Sicily so I apologise if he goes sub ton for first time in ages. Anything over 130 I’m taking otherwise I’m rolling with Darcy. Go pies and good luck all.

    1. Best of luck mate. No Elliot hurts you guys, that bloke always goes off against us.

      Hopefully a cracker of a game.

    1. What do you do when 2 umpires have different rulings?
      The further umpire pays a free, the closer umpire doesn’t believe there is a free. Does the free get paid or should a ball up occur to neutralise the call?

      1. Same goes for whether both umpires pay a free for opposing sides. How does that get sorted?

  6. When everyone was jumping on Darcy Cameron a few weeks ago, as a pies supporter I thought it was crazy. But I jumped on too because I thought, obviously everyone knows something I don’t.

    Very happy I was wrong and picked him up.

    1. I actually made a strategic move 2 weeks ago to bring Cameron in as his cash growth was looking positive, his scoring looked good while Grundy was out, he helped my byes and the plan was always to swap him out to English after next week’s byes.

      Plan still on track at this stage

  7. How ya feeling Abs? Got a hawks comeback in ya? Or you calling it now? Lol. Both Crisp and Sicily doing well but would’ve liked Sicily to be on more at half time. Hate when it comes down to captains choice going well to win leagues.

  8. Abs can and should feel somewhat hard done by at the moment with the umpiring … suffice to say that the Pies are getting the benefit of all the calls … frees paid against the Hawks for something (eg insufficient intent) and less than a minute later, exactly same play by Pies and no call … it’s been that way all match by my obs, as a neutral supporter …

    1. and they get a good call there, by the ump 60M away over ruling the ump who is 3M away … what a farce of umpiring … bad call against Pies that one …

  10. Is anyone else starting to get so frustrated with the umpiring they are tempted to just turn the AFL off?

    What a f***ing mess.

  11. The ball is just following Daicos around all day today … benefitting all that held him …

    Don’t let the umpires stop you lol.

  13. How was Howe supposed to man the mark when he’s being wrestled with by 2 other Hawks players? That play on shouldn’t be allowed.
