Dylan Grimes and diving - Why the AFL needs to act

[darcytiger]

You guys think you’re angry? Imagine old mate when he’s sitting in a jail cell over threats to kill and rape about a player diving and he’s found to be not guilty! Hahah

 

[Underarm]

Difficult to fathom this. I’ve yet to see or hear one neutral commentator or fan on here who thought Grimes didn’t dive.
Guess Diving season is open now.

Wayne Heywood not neutral enough?

Call out to all neutral commentators on BigFooty? Anybody? Nah I think you may be in the wrong place

 

[WN123]

Nah,Richmond season is open and the media hold the rifles.

Sorry but we are Essendon. We have you well and truly covered in both persecution and feeling persecuted!

 

[Topkent]

I'm sure Dylan will try very hard not to be pushed in the back and Nick will try not to be whacked in the face in the future

Must be weird to be so invested and biased to your side that you think arguing against something that clearly happened on a footy forum means anything.
Everyone knows they dived. It's just sad

There are 2 types of people on BigFooty - Richmond supporters and Richmond haters. I think with tribunal decisions its best to leave it to the unbiased experts - who have spoken - end of story

 

[Poor Form]

V FOR VICTORY

Dan Butler should have been done for his monster flop in the first quarter.

Unbelievable that he wasn't

I reckon that summed up the AFL entirely.

The most blatant 50m Penalty in the history of the game, right in front of the umpire - not paid.

The most blatant flop in the history of the game - not charged.

Bizarre stuff.

I'm sorry - did you just refer to the AFL Tribunal as "unbiased experts"??

 

[chriso11]

Still, Grimes got done for staging against Brisbane. Therefore he's still a cheat.

With 2 premiership medals And 10 consecutive wins over the Bomberrrs

haha yep - while the findings are in Tigers favour they are experts to me!

 

[chriso11]

Nah we may call upon Rance to teach us how to do it in the modern era.

Even Rance and 2 Richmond premiership coaches wouldn’t be able to save you lot... We’re still waiting like patience on a statue for the “ruthless anger” and “searing pressure”

Opposition fans in isolation; "Hmm I'm bored. I better get angry about something.....Aha! I know!"

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Staggering. Dunno where it leaves the whole diving issue

The tribunal has spoken suck it up you sook.

Yeah dunno about Vlastuin

6”7 bloke weighs 100k running full pace hits him with a swinging elephant trunk.
Hits him pretty close to the throat.

You dont reckon you’d flinch?

 

[Topkent]

The tribunal has spoken suck it up you sook.

Then from now on commit to agreeing with every single decision by the tribunal because anything other than that would make you a pathetic hypocrite

Either that or Grimes is a driving pos? It's laughable he can't just accept he was beaten. Tippa took touch on his back as well but worked away from it and won the ball for a goal. Grimes took it all and dove 3 metres forward through a pack of players contesting the ball in some of the best shooting star stuff I've seen yet.

Was there contact there? Yes, there was. Stringer had his hands in the back of Grimes. Was there much pressure or force? Don't think so, it looks like it was there for touch to control the player, but I wasn't there so can't comment. Grimes took the feel and dove. Period. Simple as that. Just admit it!

I highly doubt opposition fans have turned up to support the courageous Essendon folk out of a deep rooted love for Essendon.

Keep sooking.....

Apparently Hurley wasn't allowed to flinch. But Vlastuin is? What?

 

[Poor Form]

I think you have that backwards.

And in breaking news....Benny Gale seen mowing Gil's lawn.

I suppose the upper arm is close to the throat. FMD.

 

[citizen-erased]

Benny is next in line to Gil. Gotta keep him happy

Seriously who cares
Dive or not they got the biscuits.

let's just accept it's part of the game now. And no one can ever complain about opposition players staging.
Simples.

 

[Topkent]

Keep spooking.....

Only ones who looked spooked were the tigs boys jumping at shadows
