I didn't but i didn't see it all either, but as he is the President of North Melbourne which is aligned with North Ballarat I thought that he may have given it a plug. I did hear him talk about some family day at Arden Street & he said he was heading there, so that demonstrates how highly he regards the alignment. However, I stand to be corrected on that.

Could not care less what Brayshaw thinks of the Roosters. All I know is that his players think it is great & play accordingly.
PS. What is it that Williamstown officials, coach, players & supporters have with umpires ???

Well you should care seeing as he (NMFC) are paying some of your players wages. I agree the players seem very motivated, more than i could say for a few Bulldogs players who seem to think it is beneath them to play in the VFL (ie Josh Hill). If you are referring to my comment yesterday that you seemed to be getting the better of the umpiring (in the 3rd quarter I think it was) i was talking about David Hale shoving his opponent in the back to take a mark & something else that went against the Bullants. Didn't realise we can't make objective comments on here about observations from the game. You certainly seem grumpy, hate to read your comments if you lost :-)

NO, not grumpy Wally, just stating the FACTS.
Williamstown football club have done nothing but bash the umpires all year, their conduct & behaviour at Ballarat was disgraceful.
