@SENWABreakfast @TAB_touch He doesn’t need a system - he needs to turn his mind off completely. Go back and kick it on instinct before a thought enters his head

[Mike @MikeTheGoodOil]

@AJG_87 Gross in for Champ as def fwd (more hunt). Must rip off the TK bandage (elite ball-winning is pointless with his turnovers), Francou in. Herbie in for Davis who still lacks composure. CDT to channel Ginbey at CHB, learn some mongrel. Bald Hewett in for Johnston, gives mid minutes

@reidallaboutit9 @AFL @WestCoastEagles Second apology from the league in two weeks re wrong Harley calls will be issued

[Mike @MikeTheGoodOil]

It’s time Mini & @WestCoastEagles challenge the @AFL about umps’ ongoing Harley bias. Had the worst FK differential in the league last year, lives in a state of justifiable frustration and we’ll see the 2nd apology from the league in as many weeks on a wrong call #aflcatseagles

“Crowd noise” is being broadcast at Adelaide Oval. Sounds like a wind tunnel #aflpiesfreo

Now more than ever we need AI in AFL umpiring

@EaglenationPod Seeing Judd in Allan again. Will be a star

[Mike @MikeTheGoodOil]

@AJG_87 I know you know Tim Kelly is in this team AJ

[Mike @MikeTheGoodOil]

If I’m Michael Voss or Brad Scott I’m pulling the guernsey on at training and getting stuck in

@BlueJays @MLB @MLBJapan @Sportsnet Come on, baby! Doooo the Okamoto!

@tommorris32 Cycle the GF and Gather Round and then we can cycle Origin. Fair’s fair

[Mike @MikeTheGoodOil]

@tommorris32 It was in WA because WA paid the AFL for it. SA has Gather Round, Vics have the annual GF farce. Origin is only back at all because of WA’s proactivity; it’s WA’s now, and we only want the Vics because we don’t hate SA (see annual GF farce)

@TimGossage @SEN_Cricket @BBL @tommorris32 @ScorchersBBL “Umpire’s call” should be binned; a review should be either out or not out. Always give the stump’s edges to the batter or don’t. But if kept, it’s hard enough to adjudicate lbw without the batter forcing their way into that mental process with gestures designed to influence

[Mike @MikeTheGoodOil]

@TimGossage @SEN_Cricket @BBL @tommorris32 @ScorchersBBL It’s not on for a batter to get the benefit of an incorrect call they intentionally influenced. Let’s be clear here; “umpire’s call” in an lbw is, and will only ever be (until scrapped), correct when it was originally given out. It’s always in line, always hitting

[Mike @MikeTheGoodOil]

Pay the catch, @ICC. The ridiculous “in control of the body” crap must be dropped from the catch rule. Controlling the BALL is a catch, you moustache-twirling, cup-and-saucer-holding, waistcoat-wearing, monocle-having, fun-sucking fuck-knuckles #BBL15 #scorchers

[Mike @MikeTheGoodOil]

We’ve heard “night-watcher”, “night-watchie” and “night-watchperson” on ABC Grandstand this match as the traditional “night-watchman” is deftly dodged. Interested in what “third man” will ultimately become. “Third person”? Fine off”? “Deep-backward-third-slip”? #Ashes #ashes25

[Mike @MikeTheGoodOil]

Murphy is the anointed successor, Rocchiccioli the long-term in-form spinner. Play them both at SCG. Rest Green and Richardson #Ashes #Ashes2025 @CricketAus
