Geelong fans should be fighting for the Red card rule.
You reckon next time around the Tigers won't be up and about ? Geelong choosing to play this card in Round 15 is bewildering. I would have done this in the finals, great move for a finals match, great intensity, but Round 15?
If tigers and...
Gaff's hit on Brayshaw was 6 weeks.
So it will not be 6 weeks.
Prestia effectively out for 2 matches, so it's gotta be more than 2.
3-4 weeks.
I said 4 from the beginning, Prestia gasping for air in the hands of the trainer, as he's on his knees was uncomfortable viewing. If Prestia had of...
If you are 'good', with THIS being a free kick, 40 seconds into the game - right infront of goal, as the first of the match.
Then you'll be re-evaluating your opinion once the umpires do something as mind-numbingly stupid to Hawthorn this weekend.
Since when was a ******* spoil a free kick.
No secret that teams need to play on the edge.
Hawthorn was down the bottom of the free kick count during their years on top and now the last five years has been the 'unsociable' tigers - aka 3x Premiers.
Since the stat of free kick differential began being recorded in 1961, guess which team...
Tigers rarely win by 40+
Theyll have one burst, string 8 of 9 goals of something, carry a big lead, then the blues will peg it back to around a 20-30 point tiger win.
But boy oh boy, with the way Carlton supporters are pumping up their team, you'd think they were the premiers
Side note - not...
Didn't know where his head was, obviously. He doesn't have eyes in the back of his head, he can feel his body being held back. Btw Clayton Oliver should be banned for the rest of the year with his bullshit.
Ultimately, if Lamb didn't get knocked out, Houli would get the free kick! At the end of the day, Houli didn't mean to do it. He simply wanted a fair crack at the ball snd tried to break free from the dead weight on his shoulders. The two weeks is basically for Lambs trouble.
Should have got off to be honest. Lamb was holding Houli and cutting his run. The only factor going against Houli was that Lamb went down like a sack of patotoes. He didn't make eye contact, didn't have awareness where Lamb was, sometimes when you play with fire, you get burned. Disappointed...
Eddie Guerrero was a wrestler of Mexican descent that had a loveable, larrikin character that 'lied, cheated and stole' his way to championship glory. He would often manipulate the referee by misleading him into thinking his opponent cheated, which in turn gave Eddie Guerrero some classic...
Included these guys on the OP.
I also agree with the idea that Riewoldt/Petrie thrust themselves forward if there's any contact to the back to 'stage' or 'best position' themselves for a free kick.
EDIT: INCLUDING BIG FOOTY LIST
Drew Petrie (North Melbourne)
Andrew Swallow (North Melbourne)...
It's no secret that the AFL is in the middle of a transition with regards to their officiating. Free kicks are skyrocketing downwards to the pleasure of most fans.
While many supporters point the finger at the umpires, I think it's fair to say that umpires at times are victims of circumstance...
How did Gumbleton throw the ball in last weeks match against Richmond, then get paid the free kick for throwing the ball?
Still confused over this. Colossal errors like that make our sport embarrassing.
Re: NEWS. Jeff Gieschen: Hawks Player is a Duckers
Interestingly enough on Sunrise this morning just a couple of minutes ago Geish was claimed that Eagles players stage for frees once the tackles are applied.
Re: NEWS. Jeff Gieschen: Hawks Player is a Duckers
So you're suggesting the entire Hawks side ducks because of one Cyril example? ONE?
What a ******** you are.
There's clear proof from everyone with two eyes that the Selwoods, Hams, Shuey at the very least enjoy ducking from your side. One...
Adelaide and Port played a great game on the weekend.
Late in the final term you could see this young kid named P. Dangerfield, he was running like a mad man jumping, crunching, smashing and bashing through everyone in his path.
Why?
He wanted the ball.
He got it, lost it, went...
Goodes is a terrific player, one of the best that's for sure.
However, when he did that, I lost much respect for him. What a cheap way to work the umpires. How can we expect these umps to always get it right when ********s like Goodes stage for frees so blatantly.
Hopefully he gets fined or...
Umpire Apologise To Richmond's Daniel Connors
Herald Sun: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/umpire-sorry-for-tiger-spray/story-e6frf9jf-1225909027127
Good on them for doing the right thing, but can I just ask, if that was a player talking back to the umpire, wouldn't he get fined for it...
