2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[Redleg Crow]

GWS making our match against the Hawks seem a little different in hindsight.

Or that the Hawks might be feeling the pinch after a pretty tough game last week. (Also anyone who thought GWS would be easybeats this season needs to go back and watch our match against them last year).

EDIT - am feeling chipper also because I tipped GWS

 

[Scorpus]

Very glad we're playing GWS at home, not away

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if Hawks are a bit flat after last weeks game, like we seemed to be. Also it is a GWS home game.

 

[Mike Smyth]

God Hawthorn are pathetic divers

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Whohoo, I had a good feeling picking gws.

 

[SpeciousArgument]

there are a lot of hawks players throwing their hands up and appealing to the umpire

 

[jackster83]

Can't help but like the way the Saints are going about things (i.e. their rebuild). Good side to watch and I rate Richo.

Apologies if already discussed, but the umpires were terrible again tonight: perhaps it's a Friday night thing, rather than anti-Crows related?
Players were tackled and pushed in the back while not in possession: no free. The clunked marks followed instantaneously by the spoil were paid sometimes, but not others. Some of the "deliberate" outs were ridiculous, while the umps seem to have given up completely on the < 15m kick frees: some wouldn't have been 10 m. However, my pet hate remains the HTB. I have reluctantly accepted that it's OK to have the ball knocked out by a tackle, but I can't accept the dropping of it at the feet of a teammate, or Bruce's "little gives" to a teammate, which are clearly throws, some even one-handers! It's truly shocking to closely examine replays of matches and add up the numbers of incorrect disposals, mainly throws, which go completely unpunished.

Following up from this post last night, I'm happy to report that the umpires in our match treated HTBs much more according to my preferences! Amazingly, there were many more throws pinged today: the power of BigFooty?

 

[SpeciousArgument]

I think the AFL public in general has had enough I've loved the #freekickhawthorn this week. We all know the only thing the AFL reacts to is social media pressure

crow curse strikes again.

 

[VSTone]

frawley sniped by a team mate

 

[Cap]

You had to laugh at some of the holding the ball decisions today. Near identical to the Isaac non call but Called today with gusto.

 

[VSTone]

another gifted shot on goal for the hawks

 

[VSTone]

the afl needs to get its umpiring sorted... cant keep dishing up different interpretations and expect the masses to just swallow the shit that gets served up...

 

[1990crow]

Ceglar dives to the ground. Free kick.

 

[Sam_Malone]

This Lobb boy from GWS looks very impressive.

Wonder if he would like to move to the City of Churches soon.

Nice to dream but the AFL don't care

Yeah looks like he can play a bit! Under statement.

Given Kennedy's denials last week, it's a lost cause til he is given the boot!

 

[Huntercrow]

So GWS have well and truelly leepfrogged Gold Coast.

 

[Moonwatcher]

So the Bulldogs made them flat for the St Kilda game who made them flat for the Crows match who made them flat for the GWS game, got it

His explanations were simply pathetic.

Can't see the AFL ignoring his nonsensical ramblings.

That looked inevitable in GWS' first season.

 

[1990crow]

So GWS have well and truelly leepfrogged Gold Coast.

Theyve well and truly jumped most of the comp. Top 4 looks likely. North, GWS, us and Hawks probably top 4. Cats, Dogs, Wc and Swans the bottom half of the eight in no particular order.

 

[Huntercrow]

Is Nichols out there tonight??

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

We need more Rory's in our team.
