2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread - Part III

[DD#23]

- So good

I was in the car and so only listened to the GF on the radio... that's ****ing appalling, the swans got ****ed harder there than we did in the 2012 prelim

 

[Big Crow]

- So good

Shockingly there were numerous other occurrences from the game not captured in that video - mainly Bulldog throws/scoops. That match was a total farce, what a disgrace for a Grand Final to be decided that way.

I shudder to think of the treatment we'll cop in a big final against an AFL house favourite. Not sure I could handle a repeat of the 2012 Preliminary Final umpiring.

 

[baldandbroke]

Hodge guilty.

- So good

If there's one player I hate watching it's probably Selwood, but McLean isn't far behind. Absolute duckers.

At least there's on positive from that umpiring performance, Sydney were the victims of it.

Hate Mclean and Duckwood.

That GF was fasical, Bulldogs just throw their arms up every time and are rewarded. Shocking.

Riley Knight is going to be hated soon enough if he keep his ducks up.

This is an interesting point
"The Hawks camp haven't called on Tom Papley to give evidence, despite asserting the impact of Hodge's strike was negligible. Under Tribunal guidelines he should be given the chance to defend himself, given the accusation he has gone to ground with insufficient force."

Also apparently the Hawks have 'steel arms' meaning they are expected to whack opponents running past otherwise they get yelled at by Clarkson. "If a player is running past and can impact the game, they use a strong and braced arm to try and impede the opponent's path."

Hang on, isn't there a rule that states if you impede a player off the ball in the contest, it's an automatic 50 metre penalty?

 

[GrommoT]

Hard to tell, but I like to think the last bit is "you ****head!"

Try this...

- So good

When the AFL said they needed to have an enquiry as to the poor state of Victorian football in the mid 2000's I didn't think it would include match fixing in the 2012, 2014 preliminary finals and the 2016 GF.

Priddis to take thommos spot?

i got "you **** head" aswell

 

[footy4ever]

Whether he is the best or worst player is fricken irrelevant

Basically what Caro was saying. I loved her look of total incredulity and distain when she said "don't be ridiculous...." I know she's polarising but I Love Caro (except when she gobs off about Crows and Tippett)

That's the everyone except Hawthorn rule

Thanks for that.

 

[rezagun]

A lot of Americans believe the NFL and NBA are rigged. Watching that makes me think the AFL is rigged too. Clubs should take the AFL to court over this stuff because when they don't the AFL just keep serving up this crap. Mark my words this'll happen to us too and if you don't believe it then go and watch the 2012 Prelim Final. I hate Sydney but that just makes me mad.

Damning.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hodge guilty.

Good guys discount runs out on 3 chances

Seriously, hitting an opponent 3 times is just stupid.

Deserves a game for being a very slow learner!

They're not hitting them .. Clarkson makes them do it, and they call it "steel arms" ..

Missed it. What did he say?

No way near.

The match fixing in 2012 was because the AFL could not have the Crows winning the premiership and getting done for draft tampering in the same year and with Tippett playing in the Grand Final.

 

[Tyls83]

Fox footy, given how much they love themed rounds, how about a Paddy free round. Every single day is a saturation of him. Poor old Riewoldt's retirement entirely glossed over.

Did they know about it then?

Caro outed it months before but no one paid attention.

Of course not, how could they.
