Gerard and Robbo discuss the interchange rule that caused controversey in the Geelong-Hawthorn match. Carlton coach Mick Malthouse faces some tough selection issues following the Blues loss to Collingwood. CO-HOST Gerard Whateley saved his best for last during last night's episode. The usually mild-mannered and even-tempered AFL journalist went off, branding the league's interchange steward officiating the Geelong-Hawthorn blockbuster as a "car-parking attendant" with an "over inflated opinion of who he is." Whateley's reaction followed an incorrect decision to ping the Cats for having 19 men on the ground during the hotly contested last quarter. It was revealed a short-time after Hawk David Hale kicked a goal from the free kick that the Cats had in fact three players on the bench. "This is utterly unacceptable of the AFL," an incensed Whateley said. We don't need knee-jerk reactions (rule changes) but we don't need fools. "Turn around and count them," he said swivelling his chair around on set and pointing to the back wall. Put your flag down mate... stop intervening, stop interfering and just worry about counting. Earlier in the program, Herald Sun chief football writer Mark Robinson was critical of Harry O'Brien's handling of a spat with Magpies coach Nathan Buckley. "He's embarrassed himself here Harry," Robbo said. (He's) got to grow up. The conversation then shifted to Carlton's form line. Robbo said Carlton didn't get a $1m coach not to play finals. He said Blues lack of effort is embarrassing. Robbo said Malthouse was "out-coached" and his team was "outplayed." He said the points turnaround was "staggering." Meanwhile, Whateley said the "Blues lack of willingness to engage in the physical contest was startling." Robbo and Gerard reviewed the AFL match review panel sanctions handed down to Eagle Patrick McGinnity and Crow Shaun McKernan. Robbo on McGinnity: "We don't like to see guys thrown head first into the ground." Gerard on McKernan: "I don't understand why they would do anything to reduce that act...it was a shocking moment. That is a four week suspension - why you would discount him for that act is manifestly inadequate. Robbo on McKernan: "That's weak, it's hitting a young fella. The game was let down (by the MRP's sanction). Also, Robbo thought Port Adelaide forward Justin Westhoff was "really lucky" to cop a week for decking Essendon defender Cale Hooker with an elbow to the jaw. While both were "comfortable" GWS spearhead Jeremy Cameron was cleared for his bump on Bulldog Jason Johannisen. It was coaches night on 360 with regulars Rodney Eade and Mark Thompson on the panel. Mark Thompson says he feels embarrassed by the Essendon drugs scandal. Thompson opened up about his experiences with ASADA investigators last week. It went as I thought it would go. It was pretty intense. It was very detailed, trying to remember things that happened 14 months ago was very difficult. Bomber told Robbo: "It was pretty challenging." Thompson said the investigators kept mum about their findings so far. They didn't say that we were OK, they didn't say that we were in trouble. They didn't comment on that sort of stuff. The focus stayed on Essendon, this time injuries to Jobe Watson (collar bone) and Brent Stanton (leg). The conversation shifted to Collingwood and Harry O'Brien. Eade said the rebounding defender had met with Buckley and would be at training on Tuesday. "It's sorted out..." the Magpies opposition analyst said. It's great because he is a quality player and its good he will be back. Nathan is an extremely strong individual and very team oriented. Everything is about the team and the club first, second and third. I think he has held up very well. Everyone knows what direction we are going in and I have every confidence everyone is on board. Geelong Chris Scott shares his thoughts on the standard of umpiring this year. GEELONG coach Chris Scott was critical of the AFL's match review panel after it handed Adelaide forward Shaun McKernan a two-match ban for striking Eagle Brad Sheppard. McKernan floored the Eagles defender with an elbow to the head. The three-match ban was reduced to two on an early plea. But Scott said the system was flawed. For that to be worth two weeks - I think everyone in the world would say well that just doesn't smell right. Scott also revealed he has warmed players including the mercurial Steve Johnson to tread warily when choosing to bump - instead of laying a tackle. Johnson has missed the past two matches on suspension. He is eligible for selection this week. "Steve has 80-odd carryover points now and needs to be really, really careful," Scott said. We can't put our head in the sand - we have a few players when they are not in a position to tackle they choose to bump. The answer to that is you have to be in a position to tackle. You just cannot bump anymore, it's not worth the risk. Earlier in the program, panelists Mike Sheahan and former Sydney premiership coach Paul Roos questioned Carlton's lacklustre 2013 campaign. Roos said he felt Friday night's match against Collingwood was an opportunity for the Blues to "really click." But "after 15 minutes they really capitulated." Sheahan went as far as to suggest Blues veteran Chris Judd might not go around again next year. I think there's some chance Juddy won't play after this year... I wouldn't be surprised if this is his last year. Sheahan went on to break down the Blues best 22 grading them from A+ to C. He had captain Marc Murphy and veteran Chris Judd as the only players in A+ range. There was nine B+ ranked players including Bryce Gibbs, Andrew Walker and Andrew Carrazzo. Goal sneaks Jeff Garlett and Eddie Betts were given Bs, while Blues including Ed Curnow, Dennis Armfield, Jarryd Cachia and Kane Lucas made up the C+ and Cs. Sheahan said the Blues' demise was either a case of bad recruiting or bad development. Carlton had nine top-12 draft picks including three No.1s (Gibbs, Walker, Murphy) lining up against the Magpies on Friday night. The panel, including Gerard Healy, agreed the Blues had "serious structural problems." CARLTON champion Wayne "The Dominator" Johnston was the special guest. The four-time premiership attacking midfielder revealed a chequered past including a dependence to pain killers. Johnston refuted rumours about his involvement in illicit drug use. The 209-game veteran told of his anguish cradling his fifth son, Matt, who died in 1999 from an asthma attack suffered during a football match. 2013 AFL Season Round 12 Calton V Hawthorn at Etihad Stadium Melbourne 14th June 2013, Chris Judd on the final siren Picture: Petch Colleen Source: CARLTON was high on the agenda as was Collingwood and Harry O'Brien. Former Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd the Blues had missed the "Judd window" of winning a premiership. Lloyd said the Blues next premiership was not going to include the likes of Jarrad Waite, Judd and Carrazzo. I think they're probably going to be worse next year. Lloyd said slumping Blues Betts, Yarran and Gartlett aren't doing enough to keep their spots in the team. The Classified panel canvassed issues including Lance Franklin's future, a GWS push for Tom Bellchambers, Cats skipper Joel Selwood's upcoming 150-game milestone and Richmond loss to North Melbourne including Tiger Trent Cotchin's drop in form from previous seasons and Brett Deledio's inability to cope with a heavy tag.
