    Stretcher Rule

    Can someone explain this to me? 3 mins to go, Lions Vs Swans, Swans by less than a goal, ball in Lions forward line two on two ball in play. Reasonably open ball still in play. 30 seconds earlier, Sinclair hurts knee deep in Swans forward line. Swans call for stretcher, appear to notify ump...

    Can we get Browny to Play for the Roys?

    http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/jonathan-brown-trains-with-balwyn-in-eastern-football-league-sparking-comeback-rumours/news-story/29f8a50da1bb87b6b46bfb4624e66070 Just saying, it would be great to get Browny down to play a game or two at Brunswick Street. If he's blowing out some cobwebs at...

    What's worse than 'diving' to get a free kick?

    Boomer Harvey 20 mins or so into the last quarter. Gets a questionable holding the ball decision. Knows the umpire is behind him, so deliberately knocks the ball out of Priddis' hands, and then throws the arms up and asks for the 50, feigning that Priddis has thrown it away. Gets the 50. At...

    Martin Flanagan is right.

    http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/cut-out-the-hype-and-maintain-the-atmosphere-20120930-26trd.html I thought exactly the same at the Prelim the week before. I wanted to feel and hear the build up of the crowd just before the game, but I got blasted by ACDC till my head exploded. Then at...

    Three Hours of Dumb.

    I just watched three hours of dumb..... * Goal Umpire - the guy was positioned close to the line, so he can judge it if is going to go over the line. Goal Umps go to that position IF they think the ball may not carry the line. So the ball hits the post 8-9 feet up (ie. it is clearly going to...

    Lack of AFL Common Sense - Eagles Vs Crows

    The Eagles wore the home strip, navy shorts. The Crows wore the Away white strip, white shorts... Congrats to the AFL for CREATING a clash. Both teams wore jumpers with a large proportion of white on the front (plus another light color in yellow in the case of the WCE), and a bird moniker...

    Umpires Should Not Guess Or Assume.

    Not saying it cost us the win etc. BUT, Umpires should not guess or assume, if they are on the back side of a contest. Black laid off the quick handball to open the play in the last minute of the game. The umpire appeared to be behind him and thus had his vision of the ball and hands skewed...

    Roys Greatest Dummy Spit

    Something from another thread got me thinking - what was your favourite Roy player dummy spits? The one that got a mention was Michael Reeves in 1986 at Prinny Park versus Richmond. Another I remember was Molly doing his na-na after punching a ball into the crowd after it had gone through for...

    True Story

    Two minutes into the last quarter on Saturday night, when Cam Cloke kicks the goal from 55 metres out. The runner goes past Chris Judd, and Juddy says "hey if we win where is the after party?" The runner says "there's a pub across the road, I've got guest passes for all the boys and I'll give...

    Bowden In a Lions Guernsey Vs Melbourne...

    There's been so serious discussion about Joel Bowden's actions in the last few minutes of the Tigers Vs Bombers game on the weekend, including a big mention by Lethal in the media. My only thoughts were - I wish we'd done that against Melbourne a few weeks earlier when we were 11 points up...

    Where's Raines?

    Folks, A couple of non-tigers discussing the footy of recent, and we both asked the question of each other that we couldn't answer.... Where is Raines? Can't seem to find him in injury lists any more, so assuming he is coming back through Coburg. Really think he adds something to the...

    Clash, what Clash?

    Ports traditional colors - black, white, teal Lions traditional colors - maroon, royal blue, gold So what do the Lions wear? white with blue socks. Surely common sense says the Lions in Maroon top and Maroon shorts as well, with Port in the traditional top with white shorts. Throw the...

    Rick O - Its time to go....

    Surely Seven can find someone a little more intelligent, insightful and articulate than Rick O for the boundary. After the match, when it was the perfect time to ask some decent questions to Matthews in an interview, all he could come out with was "Maaaate! Maaaate!" and various words of...

    Backup Ruckman....

    Not convinced that doomsday for the Dockers is here as some seem to be predicting in the media.... One question - Sandilands rucking all day. Does he need a backup like Warnock in the side? Most successful teams over the past few years have run with at least two decent Ruckmen in the side. I...

    Ruck n Roll

    So where does young Meesen fit into Bailey's plans for the Ruck this year? Are White and Johnson going to continue to get a game in front of him, or is Bailey likely to give him a run.....

    Clash Jumper or Away Jumper - White Guernsey Rubbish

    I've got to say this is really piercing me off. Last year in Melbourne I watched us play St Kilda in the Lions yellow strip. To me, there was no clash between the StKilda jumper and the 'traditional' 10 year old model of the Lions jumper, which combines the Fitzroy style jumper and the Bears...

    Bernie.

    Was flicking channels and caught a bit of a game between the Roys and the Tigers in the mid 80s. Classic 80s shootout in terms of high scoring - 118 to 142, bugger we lost. Bernie got thrown into the ruck for the centre bounces. I watched at one stage, he took the centre bounce, then it went...

    Biggest Brownlow Leak must have gone to....

    ... those folks at Roo-shoot-ohs table by the end of the night. Everytime his name came up for votes they downed half a glass. It was an obvious drinking game table. At one stage one of the ladies actually raised her glass to camera and skulled when his name was called. Full marks to them all.
