Re: the umpires today - made mistakes in favour of both sides. We were on the wrong end of the stick in the 3rd Q but things swung back our way in the last - deservedly so as we were first to the ball on most occasions.
One thing I'm confused about (maybe someone here can elucidate) - why does a brilliantly executed tackle on the goal line which results in the incorrectly disposed ball spilling through for a point not result in a free kick to the tackler?
I mean, if it happens on the boundary line the free kick seems to trump an 'out of bounds' call?
Happened to us twice today.

Excellent point, was left wondering on one occasion (must've missed the 2nd).
Hopefully it features in their analysis.

Cripps got pinged for the ridiculous third man up rule today when it seemed that he had nominated to contest the hitout. On another occasion he ran in as if to contest the hitout but pulled out at the last minute. Perhaps we'll see more tactics to exploit the rule as Grigg did recently.
Like Nathan Burke, I wake up each morning hoping to hear that the AFL has realised its mistake and changed the rule back.

The "deliberate" rule is also farcical at times imo.

This rule change to me is close to the most baffling one of the last 15 years and there has been a few very average ones.
I don't see how a 3rd person coming over the top made the game worse? Sure that team might gain an advantage, but the problem is?
Where too many rucks getting injured?
Was it resulting in extra stoppages?
I really do not get it and it would be really great if they reverse it back. If the 3rd man up infringes illegally or impeded the competing ruck there was always a free anyway, so I think it was a non issue and it should have been left to the coaches to counter it.
Very poor decision by the AFL

I'm yet to hear any justification for the rule change apart from statistics that the third man up doesn't necessarily mean more or less stoppages. I'm also yet to hear any credible football commentator say that the rule is a positive change. Most seem perplexed as to why the rule change was necessary.

What a great win though, if we were to win one game and that game influenced Essendon missing finals I would just about be prepared to accept that season.
6 players with 8 or more tackles including Kreuzer and 2 kids.
Great work blue boys
Line in the sand game. Played for each other. Put the body on the line for each other. All of a sudden i saw A BRAND. We still need a forward line and a couple of key mids, but today, I actually feel the wheel began to turn. Go the bluies.

I used to lament to my wife in recent years that there was nothing coming through. We all could see that. Now it is a feast for the eyes,with many yet to display there wares. What a debut for Williamson!! How good is Sam Petrevski-Seton? Marchbank and Macreadie already look like 10 year veterans. Silvagni is growing with every game. Will be a star. Plowman is a star already. We have Charlie Curnow, Harry Mackay, Zac Fisher, Ciaran Byrne, Gallucci and Lebois standing in the wings. Add the return of Phillips. So much to be excited about.

Am I being over generous to suggest that Murphy, Gibbs and Cripps were able to do what they did because the big bodies of Palmer and Kerridge were doing some of the grunt work that is not reflected in stats?? ( Didn't see the game or replay, just asking!)
