(P.S. that advantage paid to Ablett was a shocker and that rule is bigger blight on the game than any other IMO).

Our midfield doesn't bat deep enough at the moment.

But I agree.   We have a lot of eggs in the Harry McKay basket.

It's a farking joke of a rule.... the whole idea was to not blow the whistle and let play go on if it's an advantage. 

But when the umpire blows his whistle and 35 players stop except for one bloke with the ball it's a disgrace.

There should be no whistle or no advantage rule.

There should be no whistle or no advantage rule.

Particularly when we were called back when there was a clear advantage and allowed to play on when there was no advantage.

If the play stops, as happened with the Ablett goal, there shouldn't be an advantage opportunity.  If the play is continuous, allowing advantage is appropriate.

It's not rocket science but it should be within the competence of all umpires to determine when to apply the advantage rule.

How is Kerr going?
Will he get a call up soon as part of the play the younguns policy?

There's no excuse for letting a mistaken advantage call proceed.

It's one of the few times a ump can change his mind and re-start play.

Be later down the track when he might get a game IMO. been impressed with his mobility and kicking, I thought he was your stay at home traditional FF type but he has been played up the field in the NB's and reminded me a bit of Jake Stringer with some of his work. Doesnt get enough of the footy at this stage to warrant a game but when he does get it he looks like a good footballer...for pick 65 or whateva he was there is some value and reason to be very optimistic about his future.

Exactly!

In the context of our last game, we should have had one advantage call revoked and Ablett's goal should have been disallowed and the ball brought back for a free kick.
