    Don't forget its at the earlier time of 7:30 this evening with the All-Australian awards at 8:30.

    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

    Is white line fever on before it? I'm too lazy to go into the lounge room and check.

    The grey area of umpiring will always present problems but the biggest concern re. the Barry free kick is that it was so unnecessary, apart from being wrong. As some critics have suggested, they should stick to the obvious ones, not focus on incidental rubbish. Their first task should be to get the bread and butter ones right.

    No White Line Fever tonight.

    I'm keen to hear what the ex-umpire (forgotten his name) has to say on Tuesday.

    That's one thing that really ****s me - it had absolutely no impact on the play so why award a free kick. It's these stupid technical decisions - whether right or wrong - that are harming the game.
    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

    Ultimately, we lost because we did not score as much as the opposition. We had our chances to win in the last minute, and almost pulled it out of the fire. Inside the last minute of play, we managed to kick the ball into our forward line three times. Schneider marked it once and got a goal. Had one of the other two kicks been marked by a Swan instead of Gardiner, we could have pinched the game.

    We are right to feel hard done by with the umpiring, but it's not the end of the finals yet. Our path to glory is now harder, but it is not insurmountable. Let's focus on next Friday's final against the Cats. If we win that, the Saints await our arrival on the MCG turf on September 17. I believe the winner of this final will win the flag.

    Raise your hand for a WCE vs Swans re-match.
    Vicky Pollard: Oh my god I so can't believe you just said that this is like the time I threw Anita's nokia in the canal as a joke and she's like you have well got to buy me another one and I'm like get over it and then Paul came over who's adopted anyway and started saying that I fancy Mark Bennett but oh my god just because I have sex with someone doesn't mean I fancy them.

    I'm hoping we get one in the Grand Final. What a game that would be!

    My honest feeling is that Geishen is a poor administrator who had the audacity to say that the error beared not on the result? Do you think he could take 6 from 2 to equal -4.

    The first review from the AFL in October should be to find a new Umpires Chief!
    I agree big time.
