Ughhh was back in Ads over Easter & my uncle (have one side that are all one-eyed port supporters) made a comment about supporting a real club with real history. How can anyone think this is an insult?? I genuinely don’t get it.
I could only listen to the game whilst reading this thread & I was still getting p!ssed off from the umpiring! When I read the umpiring comments with a minute to go I knew what had happened (the radio had switched off at this point), my heart sank, I started sweating my head off, next minute I...
Listening on the radio, not on tv tonight (I refuse to pay for kayo)....thought it started later too so just dialled in on the radio while I am doing some study.....low scoring qtr??
We have to be the least skilled AFL team out there. Just dumb footballers, not footy smarts at all. We either pin-point out the opposition or we kick it to 2:1 or we kick it so the opposition have all the time and positioning to pluck the mark. That’s before I get started on the poor...
Finished watching channel 7 delayed telecast.
Ugly: some of those out on the full calls.
Our ability to put teams away when we are up by enough
Our kicking for goals from gettable shots
Bad: our mental toughness. I knew the moment Riley missed that goal in the first few minutes of...
Its tough, there is such a shortage of psychologists all over Australia, and this is felt even more so in rural areas. During COVID (and it might still be the case) psychs were closing their books because they simply could not take on more patients.
I am studying psychology later in life - its...
I dont think he was cheating, I think he really thought it was a kick! Had me second guessing and then believing him too until they showed the replay....to be fair, it was a ripping long handball:tearsofjoy:
I'd be cheap! It is a topic the fascinates me, not explicitly focused on AFL umpiring, but in general. Our managers at work get taught about unconscious bias and how it can impact in hiring scenarios....I dont see why it would not be a factor in AFL. More so because I think there is such a focus...
I'd take Pitman now over ROB, get him in the team next week, I don't care. Anyone has got to be better than him....I cant think of too many games where you go this guy cost us the game. All he had to do was KICK THE FREAKING BALL.....he didnt need to score, he had the free, there was literally 0...
F### you O'Brien, all you had to do was kick the f###ing ball, something an Auskicker can do, that is all you had to do, the bare f###ing minimum and you couldnt do that. I dont want to see you in a crows guernsey EVER again. I switched off after that moment (I walked out earlier but the sister...
Did we not get a free kick played against us vs bulldogs for a player going for a mark and using the leg against the opponent?? Is that not what just happened now??
