Wanker goal umpires in action already. If you can't tell from that tell your story walking.

They are a blight on the game.

Gonna be a season with more one sided blowouts than we've ever seen with these rules

Think you will find they are instructed to make their call and ask for the replay to confirm. Not his fault really he is following directives from higher up.

Agreed 6,6,6 will lead to this for a while.

There is where the AFL suffers! If your’e a Carlton you legit have nothing to watch them play for this season except pride.

No wonder fantasy games have become so popular

If unsure.

Perhaps a bit harsh to call them what I did but the game needs decision makers. Holding the ball/too high/ no prior is a far harder call but no review as it slows the game up too much but has a far bigger impact on the result.

Wonder if McGovern regrets choosing Carlton yet

[mighty_tiger_79]

I'll tell ya now, i had Cats missing the 8.
If Chris Scott makes Plan B, Plan A, we will go through undefeated. We are rubbish but the rules will help!

Looked like a ‘W’, so I’m guessing it’s about what happened during the week, as she is a Carlton player

A touch dramatic don’t you think?

They’ll be ok, At least they’re trying to rebuild the right way.

The Fremantle Dockers have been left red-faced after having to stop using the term "clinical anxiety" to describe the health of star forward Jesse Hogan following backlash from medical professionals who suggested it was not a real diagnosis.

Fremantle stood down its star recruit on Monday evening, with Dockers GM of football Peter Bell confirming via a statement that the 24-year-old ex-Demon had made poor choices around alcohol due to "clinical anxiety".

However, several Perth clinical psychologists contacted The West Australian on Wednesday regarding concerns over the terminology, with one saying "clinical anxiety was not a diagnostic category and using the term could confuse people about mental disorders".

The Dockers later confirmed that it would no longer use the word "clinical", with the word no longer appearing on its website regarding Hogan's issues.

The spectacular decision to backtrack from using the term comes after club coach Ross Lyon urged the media to "back off" from asking questions regarding the status of the star forward.

In a fiery press conference, Lyon stressed that the issues surrounding Hogan were down to his "well-being".

"It was an unavailability for selection because of the well-being issue and a mental health issue that we’re working through. And there was no suspension," Lyon told reporters.

"So outside of that, we really need the respect the issue and I understand over a period of time — and I was talking to Nick Riewoldt today on the phone coming in — that when people come out — and there has been a number of players in recent history of the AFL with well-being and mental health issues — there is cynicism around that, particularly from the media.

I’m not saying there not trying to do it the right way but let’s be honest they will play 1-2 horrendous quarters a week there season will be over by round 5 and they will play 18 dead rubbers from their point of view.

Geez Walsh goes alright.

Fair player there.
