No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club’s news - Part 10

[Mitchell Madness]

Time for the 50m penalty to go to 25m max penalty. Too many games and goals are being decided by poor umpiring or very minimal indiscretions.

25m for infringing the mark/stand rule.
50 for other incidents

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Waiting for Geelong to be rubbish is an exercise in futility…. Surely it has to happen one day ?

There's too many other rubbish teams for them to compete with, and there will be more with a 19th and 20th team.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Xerri got a free reversed because he ruffled the hair of a cats player. My flipping God.

Cottrell just did it to Marshall and there was no reversal.

 

[hardway]

Can the mics be turned off or lowered on the umpires. Only so many times I can listen to someone say STAND!

 

[NewkTheLot]

References to partners is the only actual story here. It’s unprofessional and will also be perceived as a lack of respect for women/women used as fodder for sledging and banter. They can argue that it was behind closed doors but it’s like anything - you put it out there on a whiteboard in plain sight, it’s your responsibility.

It’s an in joke from when Prior played for them. Of course there will be people like you who clutch their pearls about it but it’s a complete non-issue

 

[Maybloomer]

Cottrell just did it to Marshall and there was no reversal.

The exact same action and 2 different interpretations and penalties. That pretty well sums up the umpires and AFL to a tee.
Those muppets at AFL Headquarters are so quick to jump on everything that is wrong with the game and won’t look in their own backyard. For what it’s worth, a reversal for a taunting, i.e. a head rub, is the most pathetic example of how the muppets have stuffed this league.

Would love Carlton to get up over the Aints

and the football media are 99% "yes men" and it's an echo chamber of self-gratification

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Free kicks in the goal square after a goal has been kicked are a disgrace.

The free needs to be brought back to the middle.

 

[Viddiot]

Did you know...when you look up the word 'composure' in a Carlton branded dictionary...you can't find it! LOL!
(I should add, i still like Brad Hill.)

Aaaand the Saints kick 8 in a row hahaha

 

[Hawko1979]

Brad Hill is such a great user of the ball inside 50

Sorry disagree, that push could have caused injury with the fence involved. Totally not necessary should actually be reportable or at least a fine

 

[I got the outside word]

Carlton are ****ing junk.

 

[Rich]

Rebuilds are hard work

People like me? What exactly do you know about me? Piss off mate.

 

[marklar]

25m for infringing the mark/stand rule.
50 for other incidents

You really want them to guesstimate 25m?
When they are already soooo good at 15 and 50 already.

Play on!

was sling tackled, he came off the ground complaining that 'nobody came to support him' and it required Tom Stewart to console him.

Call me crazy but I think pushing a bloke into the fence after he’s kicked a goal is a disgrace.

Maximum available penalty should apply (ie. free kick taken at the most advantageous spot for the infringed player / team).

What if he’d kicked a point?

Should be a free kick and 50 from the point of the ball. So if a goal is kicked, it is from the middle. It should be treated the same as taking a player out of the contest (which is also 50

After Bailey Smith was sling tackled, he came off the ground complaining that 'nobody came to support him' and it required Tom Stewart to console him.

Fair enough I reckon. He was ragdolled and nobody cared.

 

[grumbleguts]

What’s more amazing is that it was the Lions of all clubs. “Anyone know details about our opponents’ personal lives that might get under their skin? Let’s get it all up on the whiteboard …Lachie, any suggestions?”

Or Dane? You might have somethings to say?

 

[PenAndPaper]

Fair enough I reckon. He was ragdolled and nobody cared.

Usually happens when the rest of his team thinks he's an unlikeable flog.

And then it's the "talk to the hand!" when a player asks for an explanation.
