2014 Non Eagles Discussions Thread

As I live and breathe, did I just see Ash Hansen running for the Dogs?

Probably, he's an assistant coach there in some capacity

 

[Captain Awkward]

Umpiring could be interesting in the last quarter of Carlton v Adelaide. Especially if it's close .

 

[Wosh]

started rubbish but has turned into a good game

Yep, he's been running for them since joining as a coach as mentioned

 

[ep2018]

How lucky have Carlton been this season.

 

[Wosh]

I really wanted Bluey to come back to the Eagles on a succession type plan, so glad to see him doing well at the Suns though.

both teams were knackered in the last and could barely run - and yet Carlton ran over the top of us. I don't think our fitness is what it should be.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

And just dropped a mark in the forward pocket when he had no one on him, lol

Eliot Yeo thread.

 

[eaglespremiers]

What are people's thoughts on the Ablett incident?


If there is actual contact to the head (and Picken wasn't staging) I think he might be in some trouble.

 

[Wosh]

Will be very interesting to see if he gets off ala Judd, Goodes etc.
It's a shame, he really is the best player in the comp and a third Brownlow would be deserved.

I think most people would agree that it would be a shame.
But just reading the AFL Guidelines as reposted on news.com.au:
“…the fact that an act of striking occurred behind play or off the ball or during a break of play or with a raised forearm or elbow is usually conclusive that the strike was intentional.”
Thus reckless and high will result in a reprimand, but will make him ineligible for the Brownlow.

yep

Sympathize with the MRP here. They're basically deciding whether ablett will get the brownlow based on a rather innocuous elbow, but an act which is no softer than other players have been suspended for. If he gets off there will plenty of people saying ablett got special treatment

I'd be happy if he got off because he's essentially a fair player

 

[Quinz]

After investigating the footage and the medical report from the Western Bulldogs, it is the view of the Match Review Panel that the contact from Gary Ablett on Liam Picken is insufficient force to constitute a strike.

Control+C Control+V boys.

I actually think he should get off.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Yep, he's been running for them since joining as a coach as mentioned

I went to a Dogs game at Etihad last year and was cheering him whenever he ran past, much to the confusion of the people sitting around me

With Clarko a big chance to spending a fair few weeks recovering there is a chance he will not be coaching when we play them next week.

Not that I have any experience buying home tickets but I'm pretty sure they sell out fairly quickly. If that's not the issue then good luck to you

Sydney smashing Geelong. They look pretty dangerous

 

[Quinz]

Sydney looking ominous. Supremely disciplined side, great at not falling for the Geelong flops and dives as well.

 

[ep2018]

The team getting smashed tonight is the same team who kept our team goal less for three quarters

Yep awesome stuff - the running power off half back and the harrassing, - both outstanding. Haven't seen the cats hammered like this before.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Why the hell couldn't our club do what Sydney did and keep a strong list together and compliment that with great young kids.
