So which decisions did you think were wrong on the weekend? It's a pretty black and white rule actually, don't deliberately handball or take the ball over the goal line. In a marking contest defenders can still punch the ball through. On the weekend we saw some great play out of defence...

Well since Glass supported the new rule and so do I if he stuffs up he stuffs up. I'm looking forward to Wirrapanda side stepping one defender, kick to the half back line with a skillfull precision pass and the ball moved quickly through the midfield because the oppositions forwards didn't...

Um, then how come the video footage showing what would be penalised involve a Hawks player?:D Yes, Hawthorn obviously had a team rule to block players but they also tackled them after they disposed of it. Saw this many many times and your own coach said he encouraged his players to "push the...

No it isn't, Judd handballs to a player 5m away and is tackled to the ground illegally, previously the free is paid, if clear advantage is not there then the ump pays a free to Judd, he takes 5-10 seconds to take a kick while the offending team gets their zone set up. I saw this alot last...

151 people have read your OP and 15 have replied, most of us supporting the new rule. Pull your head out of the sand and stop opposing change mate. As to how will this improve the contest? It obvious and we've seen how it does. When a defender has the ball with the goal line to his back he...

So much of an over reaction:o So did the 12 AFL captains who supported the change also have no idea? I'd suggest that these 12 captains discussed it with 12 coaches as well before supporting the change. This will create more one on one contests and also encourage long kicks to packs 10-15...

I think it's a great innovation:thumbsu: I took a close interest in seeing how it went in the pre season games and 99% of the time the umpires called it correctly and the backmen instead of going the boring soft option actually used their skills and dare to clear the ball. As a spectator...

Well done regarding this rule change IMO:thumbsu: I posted several times last year that teams were deliberatly taking out / tackling players after they had disposed of the ball and at times drive them into the turf, Hawthorn was one club that literally broke a rule on purpose to gain a...

Re: We still won't know what Nick Maxwell did wrong. Babbling is what your last two posts have been Bollox. You asked me to be specific, I was specific and clearly defined my point of view. Since my post clarifying my point of veiw you've babbled on about nothing and added absolutely...

Re: We still won't know what Nick Maxwell did wrong. Collarbone is below the shoulders and Maxwell wouldn't have a problem with that particular bump. It would be seen as just bad luck as long as the other rules were not breached i.e. the ball within 5m and the player reasonably would have...

Re: We still won't know what Nick Maxwell did wrong. I edit a spelling error and thats the basis for your come back?:confused: Thankyou for confirming that my post isn't babble or a backflip:) Then you round off your impressive counter arguement with "You spoke rubbish" so there!!!!:o...

Re: We still won't know what Nick Maxwell did wrong. Geez Bollox you are defeating your own arguement, now you'r the one making sweeping generalisations after criticising others for doing the same. Maxwell got a month because of prior carry over points, a bad record and not taking a...

Re: We still won't know what Nick Maxwell did wrong. So according to you its fine to shepard someone with your "arms out" and break someones nose.....even though it was an accident?:eek: So in your oppinion players have no duty of care to play within the rules and avoid head high contact...

Re: We still won't know what Nick Maxwell did wrong. Really, you would guarantee it? How? You think if Maxwell ran past the ball and did exactly the same thing to Judd or Ablett or Goodwin the result would have been different? Crap! Or as you would say Bollox!!!! How hard is it for...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Verdict upheld and still Pie supporters don't understand that head high contact is unreasonable when laying a shepard.:cool: All we need now is for the Tigers to roll them and for Maxwell not so Smart to be watching the first three rounds of the...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Rule # 1 in creating a thread You got to get people fired up. And here we are:D Oh, and it wouldn't have mattered how correctly you criticise a Collingwood captain or player, 99% of Pie supporters are one eyed and think rules are just there to...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Good post and well thought out:thumbsu: As stated he may not have intended to hit the chin but he took a risk with the shirt front and a broken jaw was the result. His carry over points sure didn't help but thats got nothing to do with the...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Nick Maxwell, Collingwood, has been charged with a Level Three engaging in rough conduct offence against Patrick McGinnity, West Coast, during the third quarter of the round one NAB Cup match between Collingwood and West Coast, played at Subiaco on...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Um, what teammate was he helping out on this occassion? Sure a captain should do the 1%ers and help the team out before chasing personal stats but ignoring the ball, running past it to clean up a player and inadvertantly breaking his jaw and...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Actually I've copped a few and dished out a few..................never had my jaw broken or broken someone elses though. Best effort was a shirt front on a FF in a GF, he was carried off winded with a bruised shoulder, given that he was 190cm and...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Yee of short memory!!! You may recall last year Waters did something very similar to O'Bree? Ignored the ball which was at both players feet, went for the solid bump, caught O'Bree slightly high (high on the shoulder / head) and ended up...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Let me clarify....................if head high contact is made the tribunal as one of the factors has to decide what level of impact occured. If a player ends up with a broken jaw you would assume that they could tick the ''high / severe level...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Um.........I'm pretty sure the AFL came out and said last year the head is off limits whereas the shoulder (thats the two knobby bits below the head and neck:D) are areas that you can make contact to within the laws of the game.) Feel free to come...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw The point is moron is they are different, one was low impact and had no effect on the fitness of the player and the other example was severe impact and serious injury was caused. The tackle with low impact and no injury is obviously different...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw Two players charged with a high tackle. Player 1's opponent got up took the free and played out the game, is available for selection next week. Player 2s opponent was knocked out, found to have a broken jaw , didn't return to the field and is...

Re: Maxwell's shirt front breaks Eagles jaw So far all pretty predictable posts; Don't be soft Its a mans game It was just a shirt front etc etc The main issue I am not happy with is Maxwell totally ignoring the ball. In fact to me it seemed he ran around the ball and had eyes on one...

Pat McGinnty will have surgery today after being shirt fronted by the Collingwood captain last night. McGinnty was contesting the ball along the boundary and was actually running outside the field of play with a Collingwood player pursuing, Maxwell who came in from the opposite direct totally...

Re: Merged GF umpire thread At qrter time I thought the umps had made a bet on the side. 3 goals they handed to Geelong for dubious frees. Then the a Hawks forward nudged a Cat backman in the side and got pinged for hands in the back WTF. The Mitchell bump on Abletts shoulder wasn't a...

Well, moving the thread to the Umpires area would kill anything. I certainly don't make a point coming in here often, I went back onto the main board, couldn't find the thread and put 1 + 2 together and found it in here. And yep, pretty dissapointing, one decent response and two other...
