Oppo Camp 2016 non-Geelong match and general football (Australian Rules) discussion - Part II

[Pure_Ownage]

Not sure how it can be assessed as 'incidental' contact when it's the only contact that Sloane made, especially when you consider how forceful the contact was. By definition, that's not incidental. If he'd got a bit of the ball as well, perhaps incidental would be appropriate.

They will class it as a legitimate attempt to spoil the ball and the contact was in the act of that therefore it wont be reported. They have done similar with other incidents this year. I would give him a week but i doubt it happens.

Typically it's hard for players to get suspended before the finals, the MRP are notoriously soft before the finals series.

Except when it's geelong players and we are a threat to hawthorn. Cough 2013 cough.

Jasper Shittard is the worst footballer EVER !!!
Even Jordan Murdoch is 100 times better and turns it over less and can hit a target at least once a game.

Go say that on the all australian thread. Many think he is ahead of enright this year.

 

[Seeds]

They will class it as incidental contact while attempting to spoil. I dont agree with that but i reckon it will happen that way.

Absolutely agree our failure to get % the last 2 weeks will cost us a home QF. FWIW i still reckon we will beat adelaide over there it just would have been easier over here.

Did he at any point have his eye on the ball? From that footage it didn't look like he even looked at the ball. All eyes were on eberts head.

I gotta say this is a fair photo shop effort someone went to ....

 

[Hoooops]

May the #silly fellow continue.

 

[JUBJUB]

Dees gone to sleep
Carlton up by 20pts

 

[James1970]

Dees yet to get a free-kick in 40 minutes of footy.

I love the 'new' Melbourne, but hopefully they lose this week. If there's no chance for them to make finals, chances are we wont be up against it so badly next week. Keep rolling, blues.

If they do lose today, they'll still be hyped up for Roos last game.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Carlton. Stop spudding it up and get the job done you useless scrubs

 

[JUBJUB]

Blues by 3 goals at 1/2 time
So they now lose by only 30pts

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Holy s**t. I cheered for Liam Jones to kick a goal.
I feel uneasy.

 

[Frappe]

interestingly Dee's 4 free kicks to 3/4 time

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Apparently Easton Wood now injured.
Absolutely cursed are the Dogs.

 

[STP18]

North and Bulldogs decimated by injuries, play majority of their games at Etihad. Etihad surface is top-notch according to the AFL. Complete bollocks.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Hutchy absolutely pulling no punches.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

Hutchy absolutely pulling no punches.

That's actually pretty staggering if that's legitimately how that glove works Cloke and the pies should have received a much harsher penalty.

 

[Baudolino]

Hutchy absolutely pulling no punches.

Something something something all journos are evil something something OMG Hutchy is, like, SUCH a flog something something I'd prefer to ignore the message and focus on the messenger something something.

[Baudolino]

No, but seriously, that was a huge eye-opener. It'll be interesting to see whether there's any AFL response to this (assuming Hutchy is correct and that was the exact glove Cloke used).

Sidenote: that clip has 380,740 views?!?! What? Surely those numbers can't be right. The most popular AFL vids posted to YouTube don't come close to even vaguely close to attracting that view count no matter how long they spend on the website. A Footy Show clip reaching those numbers in a single day seems insane.

Video's autoplay on facebook. So one guy likes it and then all of his friends have it on their wall. They scroll down their newsfeed and it gives the video a view even. They refresh their page and it gives it another view.

He's correct, that's flat out cheating.

Well, well, well. Sloane got a week.
