Must have been snipers in the crowd.Then lay on the ground like you've been shot?
goodes has been diving all his career, and sniping small players off the ball. But the weekends effort was a step above even his form.
Why? I thought Lloyd's comments were very good.Mathew Lloyd having a go at him is a bit rich.Lloyd was the biggest diver of his generation.They changed the rules because he dived so much.
Goodes did actually get hit in the face. Like with Thomas, I have no problem with a player highlighting contact. Otherwise I'd be spitting about Deledio's dive late in the last quarter.
That said, he took a spill last week which put himself out of a contest. That I have a problem with on pure numbers grounds as a supporter.
As far as being booed is concerned, Goodes has been booed throughout his career at Victorian games. Well before any of his confected controversies. Only those who boo him can answer why. But it has nothing to do with diving or "sniping". The booing came a long way first.

And surprise surprise not a mention about it from the AFL. He is so protected its a joke.It was the worst dive I have ever seen. The contact was across the chest and minimal....what a joke! Deserves all the media scrutiny he is getting.

Clearly contact was made high on the chest. He is a serial diver, you should move on.Goodes was hit head high without the ball. Only problem I saw was the umpires missed a free kick.
Move on!
And yet the photo shows clear contact on the face. Go figure.Clearly contact was made high on the chest. He is a serial diver, you should move on.
That hand looks same color as goodes' not the same skin tone as the Richmond player. Would love to see the reverse angle shot.And yet the photo shows clear contact on the face. Go figure.
Thats because it is Goodes grabbing his face. The reverse footage clearly shows that.That hand looks same color as goodes' not the same skin tone as the Richmond player. Would love to see the reverse angle shot.
Couldn't give a toss bag. If that is the worst thing he does on a footy field, all good.
Im not big on hypocrisyWhy? I thought Lloyd's comments were very good.
Are you talking about footy classified?Im not big on hypocrisy

Do you have this reverse footage?Thats because it is Goodes grabbing his face. The reverse footage clearly shows that.
The footage has been shown constantly since Saturday night on all the footy shows and news.Do you have this reverse footage?
Yet no one has used the reverse footage here. Odd since it would either prove/ disprove whether contact occurred.The footage has been shown constantly since Saturday night on all the footy shows and news.

Pretty clear it's about nose level, actually (you know, that soft cartilage right between your eyes). You ever been hit in the nose at that sort of speed? That's what happens. You flinch backwards.
At full speed, it doesn't look like he gets hit, so it looks like he's diving. But you can actually see he does get hit, which means he's not. Pretty ******* simple.
