arms around the body is a free. bottom line. I've shown you the infringement in a clear screenshot. the flailing by rachele happened after which is completely irrelevant to the initial infringement.
yes rachele was trying to sell it, because Lever gave him every reason too. There is absolutely 0 excuse to have his arms around Rachele like this. This is what the umpire saw and it was rightfully paid. Unbelievable that you can excuse the arms around the body like this.
Don't say I need to...
You gotta be joking? How much more evidence do you need. We've had years of this stuff. In big moments too.
I dont care if he shanks a kick and it goes straight to Adelaide for a walk in goal. I can handle skill execution errors. But I can't tolerate stupidity in decision making on the footy...
How can you say with a straight face that it wasn't a free? It was so blatant and so unnecessary. And then he looks up at the scoreboard dumbfounded at how it could've been called (lol) which only further showcases his lack of footy IQ. It will probably go in the 2025 umpiring manual for...
You shouldn't condone Lever's stupidity. It's that sort of thinking that Lever probably has which causes this repeated behaviour. 2 goals a game from low level IQ and dumb frees. It undoes a lot of his good work.
His Brisbane moment in the finals a couple of years ago typified him as a player...
...33 pressure acts, equal most on the entire ground from both teams.
Agree on Windsor. Another game where he fails to hit 60% disposal efficiency. *I'm including the kick on the full to Billings that was somehow called in play. He also pulled out of a contest moments before Oliver pulled out...
Good: Mcvee. I said in the pre-season that I wanted him to get more of the footy. 3 out of 4 games this year he's had 20 (including the kickins) but he's been fantastic.
Bad: JVR dropping marks again. Even basic chest marks.
Ugly: Kozzie Pickett likely to miss a week. Just silly. Yeah it was...
I agree. his best is great. but geez, starting every game -12 because you know Lever will do at least 2 mind boggling mistakes is a hard pill to take. You don't want your defenders to be your dumbest players. That's why McVee is so good.
We kicked 3 goals in a minute in the 2021 granny. It can be done. My counter is, we don't need a goal. Why not just slow it down? The fact that he didn't even think about it and just played on is concerning. Same with most of the players. Very low game sense. But that's my biggest gripe on afl...
lol. the chase down where he had no awareness? And then being soft on a ground ball resulting in the Fogarty goal?
Just kidding. He had a poor 2nd half. Good first half.
Low IQ plays
Lever dumb free kick that was always going get paid.
Viney playing on with 1.30 to go. err why?
Petty firing out a handball when we needed another stoppage. Dumb.
Salem not looking backwards when in D50.
Sad to see that after 6 months of footy of pre-season we've learnt nothing...
That's a trash win. don't celebrate it. we haven't learnt how to play the tight moments well.Not 1 guy in the 22 understands that we needed to possess the damn ball.
I'd want Windsor on my list before them too. But if there was a grand final tomorrow both of them are ahead of him.
James Strauss was a better kick than all of them.
I totally agree. But when people are comparing him to Judd and giving him votes etc. then I think it's fair to remind them that he's just an 18 year old who averages 14 touches a game. A guy who is a fringe player (at the moment), has been subbed out of a game and will likely be the sub again a...
He did. And then retreated pretty quickly when Rioli stood back up to him. But I liked the initial reaction.
But we do need much more of this. After that gutless reaction to the Maynard hit, I've lost trust in the players to stand up for each other. That was so incredibly weak.
Stuff the...
