Changes v West Coast

"Cheating officials" - ridiculous comment.

Might as well be called cheating …an umpire like who has such an effect on a game because of his ego like he in the Hawthorn has the same effect on the result and it’s totally beyond mere mistakes

And Bangalore if you hate criticising umpires to be totally consistent why not just fully accept team selections also and then I don’t know what else you’d write about

"Cheating officials" - ridiculous comment.

That may have been a little over the top but.....on occasions in reality, it's pretty close to the mark. 2016 GF......not cheating? Mmmm.....not so sure on that.

Um, have you ever thought that it might be the deplorable week in, week out anti-Swans umpiring that is sucking the joy out of footy? Are you from the Bangalore Swans 'Lay Down and Take It' school of umpire over-appreciation? Cheating officials deserve to be talked about and on a public forum it is our right to debate this horrible flaw on our game.

I am very surprised that we are again going into a game with another big defender. Every team we play is now exploiting this area and the WCE have such size. The weather forecast is for a frigid, windy day with some showers. I will be there freezing my ... off. Maybe the inclement weather will stop our defence from being monstered?

Sorry champ i do call those out i am the one who is always in trouble for calling out those who dont perform

I want bell to succeed he has a good set of weapons that if he can bring together will be a good player but he has failed to bring them together to this point , end of

Yeah, you’re right. it must be tough being the one who gets in trouble all the time for saying what you’re thinking.

I’m not an umpiring apologist. I just think it’s wasted energy to focus on umpiring when you can’t take the decision back.

As for that poster who asked me if I’m Australian. Well I am. I’ve had my two shots of AstraZenica and I’m ready for this country to open up, the international borders to open and to get the show (my life) back on the road.

Thumbs up from me.

[TheBloods]

Yep. I would say give those opportunities to Stephens.

TheBloods, you put me onto Chad early in the season. You were also a big fan of Stephens. Why has your enthusiasm for Stephen’s cooled in recent times?

Still am but performance matters

Dont perform don't expect a game

Simple

[Bangalore Swans]

After a few champagnes open the door to an a land of fantasy.....the umpire apologist is back.

BS, we won't talk about the umpires if they're doing a good job.....sadly that means we WILL be talking about the umpires. That's a gimme in the real A(V)FL world.

So I guess the answer is NO.

Soap opera continues

[stevoswan]

Gaff a late out for Sunday's game.....that helps us a lot.

West Coast Eagles' midfield takes a hit with star Andrew Gaff to miss Swans clash

[Bangalore Swans]

Bell fan but he has gotta be better than he has been , cant keep giving opportunities if he wont take them , averaging 4 disposals a game not gooe nough

I don't believe you get into trouble for doing that TB, I think it's because of the caustic way you do it.....and you actually acknowledged this awhile ago and said you would work to 'tone it down'. We're still waiting for that.

[TheBloods]

Yeah, but why do we keep calling out a kid on the fringe citing “average disposals” that really mean Jack$&;? when half those games include limited game time. We’ve got a group of players who struggle when they’re given a chance. It we’re gonna call people out … Squizzy, for example, was poor when he came on vs the Hawks - dumb decisions lead to two goals when he failed to take the first option. Clarke does well in the 2nds but doesn’t seem up to it at AFL, Blakey has promise - but needs to get the basics right first, there are more who are not quite ready (well, at least this is what I can only assume by the limited chances they’ve had).

Bells average is mostly so low as he's been medical sub for a handful of games
