Opinion Non-Crows AFL 9

Well if they had a free graphic design intern they could make an ad like that.

I'm pretty sure they already do.



It's the only thing that explains this, so you would've thought they'd offer some pay incentive.

So you can't wait for them to Lcoemwe their new intern?

Reminds me of this

It's like Twitter. Except we charge people to use it.

"Please design a logo for me. And some pie charts. For free."

get the ball before making any contact with the Carlton player?

 

[MarcusP2]

Didn't Toby Greene get the ball before making any contact with the Carlton player?

No, never touched it, realised he wasn't going to get it and tucked the arms in.

As mentioned in one of the footy shows...are we going to end up with a 'right of way' for players going for the footy?

Interesting article.
Naive me just assumed Harley's issues were not drug related, rather a biological predisposition to depression/anxiety.
Whilst the AFL probably do more to protect thei players than 99% of other workplaces, you have to wonder what the effect of sweeping things under a rug has had.
On the counter side, naming and shaming Harley probably wouldn't have been the best course of action either.
AFL is in a pretty difficult spot if you ask me.

Not sure it's "naming and shaming". It's Harley's father who is driving this, challenging the AFL's current (patently ridiculous and self-serving) doping rules.

He does get the ball

Three photos below:
He jumps
Dislodges the football
Crashes into the player

I thought you meant in his marking attempt.

That would be illegal front on contact anyway? He wasn't trying to mark it and hits the Carlton player's hands first (with his shoulder).

The fact is if he kept his eye on the ball and actually attempted a mark he would've been fine.

He didn't so he got a game.

Players aren't obliged to kamikaze-ly hurl themselves into a contest with no self awareness or leave themselves wide open

Kick intended for Greene
He flies for the ball
Carlton player courageously goes back with the flight
Carlton player gets there a millisecond earlier
Greene realises this and braces for contact
First contact knocks the ball out of the Carlton player's grasp
Greene then makes contact shoulder-to-head with Carlton player

Apart from stepping aside I'm not sure how he's supposed to approach that contest

How did he realise that in a millisecond? He had already decided not to attempt the mark.

Yeah there's some overlap

But he jumped for the ball, realised that the Carlton guy was going to get there first and then braced

All happens in a split second and as I said I'm not sure what else he could have done

He's definitely unlucky and I don't think he tried to flatten the bloke. Just think he was always I'm trouble for taking his eye off the ball.

But like you say, he's basically penalised for being more responsible.

I hope nobody is subjecting themselves to this horribly skilled game. Far out it’s bad.

 

[Harris1991]

Petty dominating. Absolute garbage.

Scary that this guy is one of our grotesquely incompetent football depts priorities.

 

[whattagun07]

Petty is pretty shite

Have we given up skill for speed?

Who was bagging SANFL football the other day?

 

[BACCS]

Have we given up skill for speed?

Some of these kicks going forward are just truly horrendous to watch.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

WTF, add should read come work for us for nothing

Why don't they go & find another school student like how they designed the jumper...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Petty is pretty shite

Forget about him until he is free agent.

There are some decent FA available next year who are more of a need.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Have we given up skill for speed?

We have given up skill & speed.

 

[Harris1991]

Richmonds Pickett is a dirty player. I wish we had a few like him.

 

[King Of Money]

Looks like both teams have adopted Adelaide's game plan of keeping the opposition under xx points... And surprise surprise, neither team look like winning.
