Was this a slip of the fingers, ignorance, or a pointed shot at the game??

I think he had to finish the article with 'Aussie Rules' for Search Engine Optimisation, so maybe that last line was a bit of a template.

i still honestly believe that is the first game i can say 100% that the umpires cost us a win. I sound like a sore loser but i dont care, we were robbed. We didnt play that badly at all to be honest, seen us win playing worse. I felt we were the better side most of the game

What a shame Mummy didn't - Mcphee is up there as one of my most disliked footballers in the league- and not just for the controversy that night when he was at the Bombers.

Yep - I hate Nanny. Always irritated me. Always will.
Not happy with the melee. Stupid thing to happen more so because we aren't that kind of side and clearly can't cope with that level of adrenaline and shake it off.
I just watched the post matche interviews with ROK and Hanners. The disappointment is palpable. Good to see them not shy away and acknowledge that they aren't working hard enough so I hope they can turn it around.

Bit unfair to blame a loss of focus on the coach, that's where the onfield leaders need to take control. I think more to the point is under Kirk we would not have been sucked in, losing focus for the next 10 minutes when all the damage was done.....

On the actual melee, I reckon Benny saw McPhee head to AJ and give him a sneaky one and decided to get involved. McPhee is a lucky man, Mummy looked like he was ready to snap him in half on the fence.

Also the play whilst the melee was on encapsulated why Jesse should never see seniors again. His effort to get himself pushed off the ball by Fyfe was just pitiful.

Dare I say it...this didn't happen under Roos's coaching.

Match Review Panel: Round 17 - AFL.com.au

Summary of charges: Mumford (melee), McGlynn (melee), Bird (negligent contact with umpire).

Freo: McPharlin (rough conduct against Bird), Lower (melee), McPhee (melee).

Several thousand dollars heading into the coffers of the AFL as a result of these charges.

The number of swans to freo players was a concern though.

Seeing Rhyce in the video reminded me that he was on a really short fuse yesterday. You'd imagine there was plenty of Heath-related sledging.

Probably a sign of their frustration? Maybe Ben and McPhee have a bit of a history? Ben seems to come in directly for him.

There had to be a response though, if no one had come into help Parker it would have set a poor example to the rest of the young guys. The number of swans to freo players was a concern though.

I think the person I feel for the most is the person who paid $725 for the 'inner sanctum' experience on the Swans Auction site. The dressing room would have been like a wake. If I were the Swans I'd be inviting that person back free of charge for another go : )
