Serious question.
Except for that derby where Rosa got pinged and ballantyne mised the shot after the siren.It was in a contest. They never pay deliberate if its 2 people contesting a ball regardless of if he intentionally was going for the boundary.
- Basil you still suck. Nice local knowledge with the weather mate.

I'm surprised that Yeo's synergy with Nic Nat hasn't been as great as the other two. Sheed's got a good snergy with Nic Nat but he isn't getting used as much.The synergy between Naitanui and Kelly is something to behold. Shuey must be getting jealous of someone moving in on his territory.
He's been told to keep risky plays at a minimum to keep himself fit and not risk injury imo. Our season is cooked if he is, not surprising he plays reserved.NN has been in terrific form and would be the current AA ruck however, there is merit in his lack of marks. I'm not sure what it is. Is it a depth/flight perception problem?
I'm not talking about him going to the backline or playing as an extra link/mid etc but when the ball is kicked in his area he has an enormous advantage with his height and athleticism, more often than not I see him going for the spoil. I don't really understand it.
Tim Kelly said on the radio the other day that the club has 'pulled the plug on it'. Not quite sure why, but regardless, its still disappointingumpiring.
- Where the hell was the DJ today? I though there was the most miniscule chance this season of hearing Sweet Caroline over the PA system and the (hopefully) loud crowd participation element of it. Somehow Shep snaps one from the pocket, and .... silence. That gets a hearty West Coast BOOOOO from me.
Yeah no way that SPS one was htb. It was probably the obvious one where the umpires got it wrong (and in the end gifted us a goal after a 50).tbf he got wrapped up by darling and didn't even try . He knew it was futile darling knew it was futile . Darling had 25kgs and had him tight .
But the umps expected SPS to flop around like a caught salmon , wriggling and thrusting even though he was stuck fast .
The rule is bloody stupid me and my mate were laughing at how stupid it has got .
Don't know what the 50 was for .
The SPS htb was almost identical; to teh Yoe one.Yeah no way that SPS one was htb. It was probably the obvious one where the umpires got it wrong (and in the end gifted us a goal after a 50).
Not the same, but how was it not a free against Eddie Betts when he barrelled into Barass' back? (Carlton ended up kicking the goal). Add that to a longish list of missed frees (both ways).
On the Duggan deliberate, I reckon Hurn got called for a similar one maybe 2 years ago... letter of the law it is deliberate (as it was a handball not a kick, which in itself makes no sense - but that is why it is the most difficult game to umpire).

Given his knee injuries came from surging pack marks, maybe he's cautious now or has been instructed to not go full demolition mode?NN has been in terrific form and would be the current AA ruck however, there is merit in his lack of marks.

..and even those of us in Sydney would like to have been there.Positives
+ the never say die attitude of this group especially JK and Hurn - when things where looking bleak their 110% efforts were noted and it lifted the other players
+ Nic Nat - what a thrill it is to watch this champ play - let’s hope we get a whole season
+ Shep......and where was Sweet Caroline.........who sacked the DJ!!!!
+ the mids- worked hard all day - yeah some moves didn’t hit the spot but I wouldn’t swap any of them.
SM - JD - some great marks today and goals
Negatives
-the twat Carlton supporter 2 rows back that was yelling to all and sundry to “king hit” Gaffy anytime he went near the ball - I nearly king hit the tosser myself - I think Gaffy had the last laugh.
- the crowd - 1/3 Carlton, 2/3 eagles,and many empty seats.......who ever decided the weather was a factor in going - you missed out. I be our Victorian eagles fans would have loved to have been there......

Just to add to that, he also praised Nelson's elite use off half back, and said Ryan was back in the team this week after a week out with a hammyNegative: BT praising our depth and using Venables (and Ainsworth) as examples....

That might be true for big pack marks, but not for 1-1 contests or when he is the tallest player there. It appears to me he doesnt even try,Given his knee injuries came from surging pack marks, maybe he's cautious now or has been instructed to not go full demolition mode?
