Match winner?????????????????

I think they mean in general.

I was watching Slobbo on 360 and he was saying Martin spraying water in the face of Spurr was not a 50. It is nothing serious but I still thought it would be a freekick/50 metre penalty.

I think he was seriously thinking of hauling Houli up and shirt fronting him if Maric hadn't intercepted him.

I saw it as a pretty passionate response tbh. In the context of their season, that loss was massive

The amount of media attention this is getting is insane, and honestly might not've played any part in the outcome of the game. We were already setting up for goal, this just made it slightly easier.
They're managing to completely ignore Clancee's 50m for being injured

 

[Admiral Byng]

By the way, have you guys seen the video of Jack Reiwolt's post-game dummy spit?

perfectly understandable that one, if you ask me.

 

[Grape Bear]

perfectly understandable that one, if you ask me.

Not saying it wasn't. Jack has form spitting the dummy at his teammates on the field in full view, the last close one we won by a point in 2013 comes to mind.

Yep. Mayne had an "easy" shot at goal. And the split second Martin did that with the water bottle right next to the umpire, I said to myself ... "that's 50". Wasn't surprised one bit that the umpire paid it, I was actually expecting the decision. I swear I have seen penalties paid before for that.

 

[rodney hoo]

There's the rub though. It seems is only one person is allowed to have an opinion: Adam Goodes. People expressing disagreement with his opinion are being vilified by the AFL to the point where they are talking about ejecting people for it.

Can you supply a link where the afl said there going to throw people out, or is this more of you no everything better than anyone else.

Great to see that smiling face of Crowley back on the training field with the boys on the news

Meanwhile, back in the media...

Channel 7 tonight, Basil and Ross.

Basil: "So Ross, any chance Ryan Crowley might play in finals?"
Ross: Rolls eyes, "Let's see what develops"

Basil: "What was with the circle at three quarter time, did you tear them a new one?"
Ross: Rolls eyes, "I just wanted to look them in the eyes as I gave them the message"

Basil: "How about Clancee Pearce, any chance?"
Ross: Rolls eyes, "He'll be in the mix"

Basil: "OK, thanks Ross"
Ross: "By the bye, Nathan won't play this weekend"

Basil: "OK, thanks. Oh, Nathan FYFE????? You're saying Nathan Fyfe won't play? There you have it folks, exclusive to seven"

Investigative journalism has hit a new peak - just keep asking dumb questions and hope Ross feeds you some useful, totally unrelated information.

Basil, you are quite brilliant!

riteo or Seppo can we take the Goodes talk out of this thread into a separate one. It's generally been a great discussion and feel it warrants it's own thread rather than (the extremely) off-topic media thread.

Yeah I've been sitting on it waiting to see if there's enough interest/debate to warrant a separate thread. And yes, poor media thread always getting so badly derailed

I was going to recommend people should just use the Goodes megathread on the main board but I'd feel bad seeing quality discussion from our posters being lost amid the quagmire. Also some people either can't participate in MB threads or simply prefer not to. I'm leaning towards creating one.

 

[Sweetback]

I reckon you could move the Goodes stuff to the non-freo thread.

 

[Righteo]

I reckon you could move the Goodes stuff to the non-freo thread.

I think that's best for footy discussion, this is more of a societal issue. Ok, I'm going to create a standalone Goodes thread and move relevant posts there.

 

[Righteo]

Thread up, please bear with me while I transfer the posts over.

 

[Righteo]

Ok, hope I haven't missed anything. There were 4 pages worth of Goodes discussion, good call tants

The discussion might be incoherent, not sure everything was done chronologically but oh well.

Letsa media!

Go on...

If it's because of this, then I agree

 

[Purple Jesus]

Meh, looks like a high maintenance princess. No thanks.

 

[Righteo]

All the botox.

 

[clogged]

He's done all right for a bloke on the rookie list.

 

[Dockernut]

Meh, looks like a high maintenance princess. No thanks.

Hahaha, yeah that would stop me......

Not looking for a long lasting relationship, but certainly a 30 second stand.

Everyone to themselves, but looks too plastic to me.

Ross gets paid by them, he feels sorry for Basil.

Also followed by Basil trying to get out his "BREAKING" tweets from all twitter handles he is a part of. Such a knob.
