How the high shoulder charge on Hughes wasn’t a send off is baffling. No arms.. late and high

Yep as a casual watcher, If Billy wasn’t in the box the commentary might as well just be “■■■■ melbourne”

It wasn’t even a penalty until the Storm reviewed it.

I generally think commentary is pretty complimentary towards the Lions and Swans and others when they do well. Fark they’re nicer to those clubs than they are to Essendon.

Tbf, Storm have come in and shat on their league for 30 years

Umpires should be sponsored by SpecSavers. Missed opportunity.

Of course that would require a sense of humour and self-awareness, neither of which are strong suits of theirs.

That’ll do it.
