Good to see Collingwood wearing their clash guernsey of white and black , which is different from their normal black and white.Bomber wrote:Common occurrence, especially v Collingwood.MegaBonus wrote:
I propose - give Collingwood a wild card into finals regardless of ladder position, so umps don't have to continually stick their tongues up their muscat week in week out. AFL happy, ferals happy........
The rules are quite clear. YES!Kim Gyu Ri wrote:Should Essondon have had a free kick after the swan player climbed the goalpost?
they're proposing 'English style segregation of fans' after more violence at the Blues-Pies game... Forgive me, but what advantage does this give the team on match day?MegaBonus wrote:^^^^^^^....yeah, like Essendon getting preference to play on ANZAC Day

Friday night footy?MegaBonus wrote:youre able to attract better players who want the limelight and the extra $$$$. financially healthier clubs tend to perform better over the long term.
- Fri night footy - which your club hijacked from the Kangas
ANZAC Day game which you and the Pies have criminally monopolised
Dream-time game at the G
Good Friday game
What personal attack? Being called a Labor supporter?MegaBonus wrote:attack the person when losing the argument....whose playbook have you been reading????
BTW - theres no way I would want the crows subsiding the Ferals which we have in the past to save them from themselves....so there goes your theory about political persuasion...
I think you're being a bit too precious there. But as usual, rules for some, completely others when Essendon are concerned.

Two more men have been charged over the violent brawl that broke out at the MCG on Saturday.
The latest arrests and charges mean police have now narrowed their search on one remaining Carlton fan.
Police arrested two Rosebud men, aged 41 and 20, this morning and later charged them with affray.
Both men have been bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on August 16.
It follows the arrest of 36-year-old Diggers Rest man earlier this week.
Crowd violence is back in the spotlight after multiple brawls and reports of poor behaviour at the weekend.
3AW was flooded with calls from disgusted and upset supporters following Collingwood’s 19-point win over arch-rival Carlton.
One fan, Ross, said he’d “never be going to the football again” after being thrown to the ground.
“I’m sick and tired of this,” he said.
Another man was also seen “relieving himself” on a police car while leaving the MCG.
There were also reports of spitting and children crying as they were caught up in the mayhem.
Robin, one of those to call 3AW, said she spent the last five minutes of the match trying to break-up fights between fans.
She said it happened in the Carlton members area.
“There were four, full-on fights where people were knocked out,” she said on 3AW Football.
“Security didn’t react quick enough so members of the public had to get in to stop these fights.

REPORT: FORMER CARLTON PLAYER JAILED FOR FIVE YEARS
Former Carlton player Chris Yarran has been jailed for five years.
The West Australian is reporting the 28-year-old received the hefty sentence after pleading guilty to eight charges stemming from a “three-hour methamphetamine-fuelled carjacking rampage”.
During the frenzy, which occurred in Perth in November last year, Yarran reportedly punched and headbutted a police officer as well as terrorising drivers. He also attempted to snatch a police officer's gun.
Yarran, who played 119 AFL games for the Blues, joined Richmond in 2015 but never played for the Tigers, before stepping away from the game to deal with mental health issues.
If only current Carlton players could show such "enthusiasm"! :wink:Michael wrote:REPORT: FORMER CARLTON PLAYER JAILED FOR FIVE YEARSFormer Carlton player Chris Yarran has been jailed for five years.

When you look back to when they got rid of Ratten, it's got pear shaped ever since. He'd be laughing right now.
I agree with that, the removal of Ratten to bring in Malthouse was crazy decision and set us back again.Bomber wrote:Yep, Bolton's gone.

Collingwood super-fan Jeff “Joffa” Corfe won’t be attending AFL games until league CEO Gil McLachlan apologises for the way fans have been treated in recent weeks.
A Richmond cheer squad member has been banned for three games for calling an umpire a “green maggot” while a Carlton supporter was given a warning for labelling an official as a “bald-headed flog”.
Joffa says he’s now unsure of how to behave at the football.
“I’m too scared to stand up,” he told SEN’s Whateley.
“I sit down and listen to the match-day commentary. This has gone too far.
“Who’s filming me? Who’s watching me? Are there integrity officers two rows back?
“This is horrible. This is not football.
“The supporter is the biggest stakeholder of the game and we are being treated like garbage.
“You go into any workplace, any home, any shopping centre and everybody is talking about this right now.”
Joffa says he is boycotting games on behalf of all supporters around the nation.
“I’m sticking up for all my fellow supporters around Australia and I want an apology from Gil because I think we deserve one with the way that we’ve been spoken about, the way that we’ve been portrayed,” he said.
“I’m not going to another game until Gil McLachlan apologises to supporters right across Australia because we are hurting. We are hurting so bad, this is not funny.”
