joboss Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I actually had to watch this several times just to see the "contact". Then watched it a few more times as I couldn't really believe it. An umpire trying to get his 2 minutes of fame methinks. Minson 'umpire push' incident 'pretty laughable', says Beveridge http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-05-24/bulldogs-ruckman-will-minson-sent-off-in-vfl-match- Does seem laughable looking a the vision. Your link didn't work for me for some reason. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-05-24/bulldogs-ruckman-will-minson-sent-off-in-vfl-match- Yeah it was pretty laughable - BUT - those are the rules, looks like the ump had been taking tips from Lindsay Thomas the way he was flaying about. Minson's actions are pretty intentional even if there's no malice involved. Not that I'm a fan of Minson so it won't bother me either way what happens but probably a fine of some sort... A red card for that is absurd. Minson shouldn't be touching the umps, but the ump was just being an over officious jerk IMO. Yep… Officious, attention seeking and irksome,, like a maggot on a BBQ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstanley Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Just watched a replay of Offsiders. Alastair Clarkson was a guest on the panel. Very interesting show. They spent about 14 minutes on AFL but his other comments were interesting. http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/news/offsiders/video/201505/OFSm_Tx_2405_512k.mp4 Edited May 25, 2015 by ripstanley 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Can Chimpy give us any clues to the margin this week.(swans v blues) My only dilema is will it be a 2 or 3 figure margin Well, looking at today's headlines, it could well be a 3 figure margin. Coach Mick Malthouse takes swing at Carlton boardEmbattled Carlton coach Mick Malthouse has reiterated that he will not be standing down as he took a swing at the club's board. Speaking on radio station SEN, Malthouse said that the coach is "the first to go" to relieve some of the pressure on a beleageured board. "Good boards stay sound. Boards crack under pressure," he said. Malthouse said that when former CEO Greg Swann and former president Stephen Kernahan - who got him to the club after a poor 2012 season under Brett Ratten - left the club, he knew it would be difficult to keep his job. But he said the talk pre-season, around the football department and the club's position, had been positive. "Oh, totally, totally," he said, when asked if the goalposts had shifted. Malthouse ridiculed the club's decision to hold off on making an announcement on his future until after the bye. When asked if he thought he would be coach after that weekend, Malthouse said he wasn't sure what people could learn in two weeks that they didn't already know from his 30 years of coaching. "The question should be, what do people learn after two weeks? "We play Sydney with a depleted side and we play Adelaide with hopefully a couple of blokes coming back but we're not too sure about that either." http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/coach-mick-malthouse-takes-swing-at-carlton-board-20150525-gh9i84.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WB play Etihaus really well. Essendon or Richmond...not sure Freo. Could freo go undefeated this season? I don't think so, but if they win this week (danger game), I reckon they will be undefeated until round 15 when they play the hawks.

I'm sure Mick will leave with his usual dignity and class I'm guessing he won't be leaving too many friends at Carlton. Just like when he left WC and Collingwood.

Popular Post AlexRRR Posted May 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2015 Malthouse the professional, proof that the Blues board much like the Demons of yesteryear, why did I choose the Blues cries Judge, ho why? Pagan and Malthouse both highly regarded at least 5 flags between them plus an up and coming Ratten shot down and the Blues still on the bottom of the ladder, they just haven't ever adapted from check book recruiting to drafting, doubt any worthwhile assistant will be eyeing off the snake pit that is princess park for there next promotion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogs are appealing, funnily enough though, the Ump who was "put off his line" (whateverthefuck that means) accepted Minson's several apologies during and after the game (last one was apparently just before the tribunal) and recommended a reprimand and fine for the offence...
