Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 4

[Hammer#8]

Giants proving that form slumps aren't all doom-and-gloom.

Just depends when they find a team and whether they can hold them off long enough leading into finals.

Like the last 4 rounds of 2015, we were a top 4 team but with no invitation for finals.

Should give us a glimmer of hope for the rest of 2017 at least.

 

[PA88]

A lot of good kicking on display. I should watch more of the other teams to remember how good football can be.

 

[charcolechaddy]

So you

Unreasonable or unnecessary contact to the face? Absolutely.

Cant jump and protect your body with your legs anymore.????

 

[Waspy79]

If a player runs at me and as I take the ball I extend a fend off elbow and it collects the guy in the face, would i be suspended?

The answer is no, it's a too high free and move on.

If he gets suspended it will be a poor decision.

Rubbish. Raise the knee, sure, but no need to put the boot up like that. The MRP matrix will see him cop a fine, which I think is fair punishment for a careless crime.

Sets a dangerous precedent if Toby isn't sighted for that

It dosent matter when you can bring in 3 fresh guns a week.

GWS have been supremely impressive tonight. As Tribey said earlier they stayed composed in defence under a ton of pressure, they responded on clean crisp counter attacking, they wrestled back the momentum and put away an 'up and about' Dogs outfit in no time whatsoever.

Dogs looked great in the 2nd, but hopefully this GWS run might be breaking a little of their confidence and they come out shaky next week.

Is it wrong that I love Toby Greene?

Shameful shit

So if he raised his knee and he ran into it and got koed that would be fine.

But what about duty of care.

How abot its a football incident and the bloke got a ****ing cut on his lip.

And it's not like he has a good record. The game is so PW now would not surprise if he gets rubbed out.

You also think that it's ok to pin arms in a tackle and knock your opponent out, right?

 

[charcolechaddy]

The weekness of our own performance is rubbing of on our supporters.

He gets a week for mine.

He was sighted, a free kick was paid against. That should be where it ends unless the AFL decide to create a new rule.

 

[edgie]

I don't like what Greene did but I'm not worked up over it. I've seen worse without even having to find another player.

We should've done something like that last week to Betts's guts.

[Hammer#8]

The Greene contact to Dalhaus is a bit undefinable for me.

You usually raise the leg like that as a block to put space between you and your opponent in a marking contest.

I see Sam Gray doing it in a marking contest every so often, but on this occasion Greene overreached and made contact to the face.

The fact that Greene did it means motivation is called into question.

Fine $ but his priors might cost him a week

 

[scottjr]

Seriously how many b grade players do GWS have?

By B grade do you mean 2nd round picks?

 

[LP7_]

I'm no expert on the rule book, but I reckon they'll be able to find something in there that frowns upon kicking opponents in the face.
