Brodie Kemp to debut for the Blues this weekend. Great to see, he was a gun junior and has had a s**t run with injuries thus far. Not his fault he ended up at that mob.

I got the shits last night.
Was on one of the footy shows.
Praise Libba and how good his form is at the moment3
They showed 4 passages of play.
Three had blatant throws out of congestion.
Why is no one in the media calling them on their BS?

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Grundy deal looks no good early

Going through the motions now he had the deal

All good, we'll take him off their hands in a few years once the great hickey is ready to retire...

Provided Collingwood pay half his salary of course

Hey, punters: Stop abusing us over your busted multi bets

These days, you can't watch an AFL game without being bombarded by betting odds and ads. It's time something is done about this, to protect the younger generation, writes Josh Dunkley.

The wonderful and bizarre world of social media and self-entitlement;

I (Dunkley) grabbed my phone, opened Instagram, and lo and behold someone had sent me a picture of their losing multi bet, which would have paid out around AU$2,500 had I finished the game with 20+ disposals. Unfortunately for him, I had 19.
Along with the screenshot was a message that read: "this is what you cost me tonight. That's bulls---. You need to transfer the money to me right now." He even sent me his bank details! I honestly find it quite amazing what people say and what they think they're entitled to.

I told a few of the guys on the bus and quickly discovered I wasn't the only one receiving these types of messages. Half the team confirmed they too had copped similar sprays from punters.

That's full on insane.

The rules have changed you can flick pass again and it's bullshit

Seriously, are these people normal?

 

[Ticky009]

This time last year we were 0-8.

 

[SM]

This time last year we were 0-8.

Find that hard to believe considering we won Round 1.

 

[Olian]

This time last year we were 0-8.

We were 3-5.

 

[SM]

We were 3-5.

Yeah at first I thought it was a joke about the season being delayed, but then I just couldn't figure out what she was getting at.

 

[BloodySwan]

This time last year we were 0-8.

This time last year we had only won 1 game. We had only played 1 match but that's besides the point.....

Really high on him in his draft year and his ACL really derailed top 3 potential.

Will be good to see how he goes

Not that I'm biased in any shape or form but..

Kane Cornes loves Will Hayward

Means SEN will start talking about him and this forum will love him soon. Hayward's made it.

The rules have changed you can flick pass again and it's bullshit

They don't even other flick passing. At least that was a skill. These are good old fashioned throws. Two handed throws. One handed throws. Dropping the ball as soon as tackled. Deliberately let ball go. Nick Dalsanto says the rule is difficult for the umpires to adjudicate. It should not be. The AFL has made this rule difficult. Dislodging and prior opportunity require interpretation.

Here is the rule:

Holding the ball - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

It is far more complex than it used to be. The rule used to clearly state that if a player did not handball or kick the ball it was holding the ball or incorrect disposal. Not now. These stupid bastards that run the AFL are just making everything more confusing. No wonder the umpiring is a disgrace

I was looking at the Swans Academy draw in the Nab League and can see that on June 5 they are playing in Melbourne with no venue listed....same day as Swans v Saints at Marvel.....how good would it be if they could play a curtain raiser, would be a early start, maybe 10am? But would be a good opportunity to get to see what’s in the academy this year

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I think the rule changes the AFL brought in this season have been a huge success (there's a first time for everything!!) But they need to have a look at the throwing, incorrect disposal, dripping of the ball.

They need to reward the tackler, but also penalise the negating tactics where a pinged player stands over the ball and their opponent. They should award a 20m penalty for the first infringement and a full 50m penalty if they transgress again. That'll get the ball moving quickly again, and go back to when the tackle was rewarded.

 

[kickthething]

Yep. In my mind it's incorrect disposal in both cases, either dropping the ball, making no effort to dispose correctly, or throwing via the "push ball" where the hand holding the ball does most of the propulsion.
Go hard on it for a few weeks and watch the behaviour change. Players adapt to interpretations.

Enforce this and you ruin Tom Liberatores career

That's really hard for an ump to keep track of, you're asking them to keep track of on every player on the field. I feel its a bit cumbersome & not fair to the umpires.

And this is a problem how?
