Yeah, because you want your teammate to be stationary when he receives the ball from you. Played the game much?
From juniors until I was 35. How about yourself?

I forgot
MM..... Garlett, Bootsma , Jamieson , Armfield, Rowe, Casboult and Kreuzer had 10 or less disposals.Murphy is excused for less than 10 due to an accident .
Bailey, Breust and Simpkin ( sub ) for the Hawks had less than 10 disposals for the game .
So you see MM you were out played .
Kreuzer was close to best on ground
Strategy either didn't watch the game or simply doesn't understand it.Can Kreuzer, Jamison, Rowe and Casboult be excused for playing somewhere between 'pretty good' and 'excellent' games? Armfield wan't bad either; played on Birchall and kept him very quiet for three quarters.
Possession counts used to completely judge the performance of key position players, taggers and ruckmen...I swear, it's nearly time to give up. The punch from behind will be extinct in five years, because it doesn't get you a Dream Team point.
Quite astounding then that you don't think the Lucas kick to the trainer was a reasonable one, particularly given the trainer was running away from the ball at the time. In fact, had the trainer have been his teammate, I reckon it would have been a perfect kick given the location of the Hawthorn opponents.From juniors until I was 35. How about yourself?
That kick from Lucas is at least 15m from the Hawthorn medical staffer; it's actually closer to a carlton player then the medical staffer.
Clearly, neither incident there is comment worthy from a respected coach.

OK, I'll take your 'informed advice' on that one.Did you watch the game? Because you've provided no understanding or insight to this thread.
Not a great spacial awareness in this comment. With the Lucas kick, the medico has been high tailing it out of there the whole time towards the boundary away from the drop of the ball; the Carlton player and his Hawthorn opponent were running towards the ball drop. So of course by the time it landed, the medico was 15m away and the Carlton player was closer. From where the medico would have been when the kick was placed, if it had been a Carlton player, he would have changed direction back inboard and marked the ball unopposed. Terrible understanding of football in this comment IMO.
You're probably not in a good position to comment on what a respected coach should and shouldn't say.
If that Hawthorn medical staffer had been someone with Yarran's speed I don't think he could have got to that football as a mark - the football wasn't kicked high.
You are wrong. Watch the footage. The medico made more ground after Lucas spotted him up than was the distance between that original position and where the ball eventually dropped. It's not even arguable unless you've decided stance is more important than truth. You've just got it completely wrong here.
No, I think I've got it right ...
From a neutral point of view I think the hawks got the better run from the umps .
If they don't change, expect to see all club doctors in opposition colours from now on.
Typical narcissistic rage from Malthouse. He knew Richo was a softie and would let him get away with it
So how do you suggest the umpires tell the difference between runners and other club officials if they are all wearing the same thing?
Understandable. Made some good points. Especially the Hawthorn Docs/Runners wearing dark colours. Surely they should get fined for that?
Hang on, we get a fine for wearing our own club colours. What have I missed ?
I'm more bemused why we wore our predominantly brown jumper, instead of our predominantly gold one.
No harm done though. We won. Play on.
Why in the hell would you kick it to someone who is wearing trousers?
Those incidents do look way worse on a second viewing... Pretty clearly influenced the play and should have resulted in carlton frees
I didn't like that they kept leading to the ball calling for it.![]()
