Game Day Port Adelaide vs West Coast, AAMI Stadium, 11.10AM WST

[TurboHead]

Why the plastic screens at AAMI? Port supporters aren't spitters are they? Haven't seen screens like that at Subi

No, you're new to football ... The only other possible explanation is you're an idiot... I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt ...

Resorting to petty name calling says more about you than it does me.

 

[PAdman]

shit, fell asleep again thats how bored i was.

uninspiring win but a win nonetheless. not looking forward to the next two weeks with the flogging we'll get.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Yeah the Emac one was htb. Its a stupid rule but its the rule. Despite 0 prior opportunity, you cant sit on the footy and make no attempt, even if its held to you. Dumb rule but it is the rule.

 

[Roobs321]

Up 2.2%. Even if North won their next 2 games 150-50, they still wouldnt catch us if they win 2 games and we just win 1.

Unless Hawks flog us

Well, reason resulted in you inventing facts and interpreting the laws incorrectly. So either new to footy and don't know much or an idiot ... Not name calling, just logic in the face of evidence ...

No, the rule says you can't dive on the ball. They ended up on the ground after the tackle - the ump applied the wrong interpretation.

I agree its a stupid rule, I hate the rule, but it was there and would have been payed every day of the week.

 

[the harry]

Which was worse, this game or the one vs GWS?

 

[Keys]

Ffs. I didn't even see the eMac holding the ball and I know it was wrong

 

[TurboHead]

Ha ha, they showed a pic of Adam when talking about Scooter

 

[Hairy Lager]

Can we all now agree that Dalziell isn't up to it? Cheers

Swift thread, lack of chance etc...

 

[HoneyBadger35]

No, the rule says you can't dive on the ball. They ended up on the ground after the tackle - the ump applied the wrong interpretation.

The rule, maybe not the rule but definitely the interpretation, is you have to at least pretend to get rid of it. You cant just sit there waiting for a ball up. You hear the mic'd up maggots harping on about genuine attempt, Emac one was there cause he didnt do anything once tackled.

 

[Tiff]

I feel nothing.

Bring on next week.

Who wants to take me to the Collingwood game. I'm good company, will buy beers and may give wristy.

 

[FLETCH41]

Was a shocking game but a win on the road by 48 we will take that! At fox footy for showing Adam Selwoods photo when talking up Scott! How many times do they get mistaken!!

 

[Eagle87]

I agree its a stupid rule, I hate the rule, but it was there and would have been payed every day of the week.

That rule applies if you dive on the ball/drag the ball in ... EMac picked the ball up while standing and was tackled to the ground and wrapped up. No prior. Ball up. Every day of the week.

The fact that folk don't understand the laws of the game is of little surprise.

Again, the rule is different if you dive on the ball v tackled immediately after taking possession. I know what you're saying but he had both legs and his arm pinned. It's a ball up every time.

Right so it was called holding the ball against an Eagles player and a couple of Eagles supporter disagree (who would have thought). Impartial observation and conformation is important when verifying the facts, thats how it works, not one persons option.

 

[TurboHead]

All Selwoods look alike.

I hate the rule but the umpires have been hot on 'genuine attempt' all year. Rule needs changing but wasn't the worst decision of the day.

Incorrect. He tried to hit the ball but his arm was held and the ball was held in. He physically couldn't move either arm. AND more importantly he had no opportunity. It was a ball up.

You, again, are missing the point.

???

The commentators also disagreed.

what technique to you give? if it's the screw rolling wrist then you're in.

It wasn't "the worst", it was in the Grand Final though. Awful decision.

Agree to disagree.

At least we're all on the same page that Priddis was BOG and AA quality yet again.
