Opinion Non-Crows AFL 9

[Geoffa32]

One was going for the footy (albeit recklessly) and the other went past the footy to bump and then went back and got the footy.

Should have been a free kick against Butters though. Could have changed the outcome of the game.


Can see why the difference in MRO decision.

How the hell does Crouch get a game and butters doesn't?

Afl is full of cr@p

 

[El Doederino]

How’s that going to get him off? Crouch went past the footy got him and then went back to get the footy.
Didn’t even try to get it first.

Neither did Butters. He went right past the footy.

Crouch bumped first and then got the ball whereas Butters was contesting it the whole time, even though he missed the footy.

Should've been a free though which could've changed the game.

I think that’s a cop out though, he sticks his arms out but barely moves his hands to grab the ball. Comes in so fast he goes past the ball

He has his hands down to get it, crouch didn’t even look like going for it.

Absolutely he was reckless. But you have to at least attempt or look like you’re going for the ball.
I think butters should have got 1 but saying crouch’s action was the same is just not right.

He didn’t run past it. He went in very hard and bent over to get the ball while collecting the other player..

 

[BigBoSS_Riot]

Having reviewed the incidents, I think this is probably right.

Carroll gets hands to the ball, Crouch comes in side on and bumps him high without touching the ball (doesn't go for it until after the bump).

Banfield might get a hand to the ball, Butters comes in front on, only turns side on when attempting to gather the ball, then bumps him high without touching the ball (but has his hands down to get it).

It's harsh, and they're definitely very similar bumps, but Butters probably approached the contest slightly better.

The fact they used 'Brownlow favourite' in the article is pretty funny though.

Crouchs hands were down too. The bumps were practically identical. Except Crouch ended up with the ball. In his hands. Because that’s where his hands were.

I really dont understand how anyone with two semi functional eyes can’t see crouch go past the ball with no attempt and bumps.

Oops check FullyBigKPro post

 

[FR0GGY]

Oops check FullyBigKPro post

Crouch thought the ball was 0.5m high when he attempt to pick it up

Cool. Now freeze frame Butters.

Was looking at Crouches hands as that’s what the debate was about

It was about both bumps being near identical

But you’re right. Crouch was a lot closer to the ball seeing as the ball ended up in his hands whereas Butters was no where near it.

 

[Sanders]

Tell Wayne and ABAB

Has anyone seen them in the same room together?
