    Rhys Mathieson - ducking debut (video)

    In rugby union, the vast majority of 'high tackles' paid in the AFL would not be paid. Especially those where the hand only touches the shoulder and not the head - its really just a standard tackle. Their interpretation would be much easier to adjudicate too.

    Rhys Mathieson - ducking debut (video)

    If you think it's the tackler's fault then surely you haven't played footy before.. Also, given its original intention, the rule has become effectively broken.

    So is Fyfe the best player in the league?

    Fyfe did get 28 touches and 3 brownlow votes after a similarly long layoff in 2012...

    The never ending Priddis debate - part II

    He is one of our dominant midfielders if not the dominant midfielder. Isn't rotated through forwardline, that's a fallacy created to suite the agenda of those against him.

    The never ending Priddis debate - part II

    Yep fair post. Refreshing to see a balanced view on this thread. Although most balanced supporters probably avoid it like I should :cool: but am new and is easy to get sucked in to the 'debate'!

    The never ending Priddis debate - part II

    Being objective would also include similarly noting other players glaring errors, like yeo's huge clanger handball in the 3rd and hurns kick straight to the lap of saints player in the 4th. See, one can also nitpick other players mistakes too, yet for some reason priddis' get a huge spotlight...

    The never ending Priddis debate - part II

    Exactly, if they were ineffective (when they obviously aren't) then the coaching committee wouldn't allow such a player to gather the bulk of the midfield disposals, clearances and contested possessions. It just wouldn't happen and he'd be playing wafl. We're clearly benefitting from them as a...

    The never ending Priddis debate - part II

    Yeah but you're not meant to take any notice of his 30 other classy disposals, only his 2 clangers that undid all his other good work. Mistakes that no other eagle made in the 2nd quarter. Surely you knew that by now? :rolleyes:

    The never ending Priddis debate - part II

    Exactly. A good priddis game makes them extremely uneasy and anxious as they can't understand how no-one else sees him the way they do, so they search for anyone out there with the same view as them, and here is where they find comfort and relief and warmth and normality slowly returns to their...

    The never ending Priddis debate - part II

    That is just blatantly not true and I cannot fathom how you could actually believe this tbh. I'm really not sure what you are watching? You gave him 2nd best on ground just like the coaches and media pundits, so how bad does that make the rest of our team then let alone the midfields we're...

    The never ending Priddis debate - part II

    In my respectful opinion you (and a few others) are vastly exaggerating the amount of errors he makes. Particularly the 'hospital handballs', he is roundly considered an elite user by hand and this stands out hugely watching him live. I don't think it can be appreciated the same way on T.V. His...
