14 matches between Essendon and Sydney that have been decided by a goal or less now
That hasn’t been HTB for a couple of years now, rule was changedSo the umpires have just forgotten about HTB if you take it from the ruck and get tackled?
They got rid of that in 2019, even still that was HTB.So the umpires have just forgotten about HTB if you take it from the ruck and get tackled?
Even during his playing days he was on the wrong end of many single digit games (right in front of me game is an example). Yes cruel indeed. Swans survived despite been wasteful in front of goal and Franklin delivered when it mattered mast.Poor Ben Rutten two loses 2 points or under, it's a cruel sport
He took 4 steps then stood still before being tackled. Not priority though hahaThey got rid of that in 2019, even still that was HTB.
Watch Tex do the same on Sunday and get pinged.....So the umpires have just forgotten about HTB if you take it from the ruck and get tackled?
Maybe next year.Watching 3 x 1st year talls, I'm wondering what the hell are North thinking drafting mids... & why are we no debuting Thilthorpe?

Yeah, what he saidThat hasn’t been HTB for a couple of years now, rule was changed
It's not the worst move. We'll have PSD as a threat, Stephens is out of contract and not exactly established (though, probably should be with how he finished 2020), despite being a top 5 pick two years back. Could be a shrewd pick off if we play our cards right and get lucky.We shouldn't, but FAITH would disagree.
different games? that carries an implication that not everyone would makeSo you're telling me that there were only seven significant contributors in the win against Geelong then?
Rightio then. Must have been watching different games.
Didn't they change that rule..ie it used to be an automatic free if you took it from the ruck and got tackled, but now its not?So the umpires have just forgotten about HTB if you take it from the ruck and get tackled?
Until he snaps.Nik Cox has to be proof that there is no player too skinny to play AFL
But you still have to dispose of the ball ‘legally’ and in time. Did Hickey? I can’t remember.That hasn’t been HTB for a couple of years now, rule was changed
You don’t if there’s no prior opportunity.But you still have to dispose of the ball ‘legally’ and in time. Did Hickey? I can’t remember.
It's weird though, if a ruckman takes the ball out of the ruck does that mean he CANNOT be caught holding the ball no matter what happens?That hasn’t been HTB for a couple of years now, rule was changed
You really shouldn’t beat around the bush, Deaneus. Why don’t you say what you really mean?!If i could be bothered, I would go back and quote every whiny campaigner who this morning is moaning about the free kick count and poor Essendon, and hold it up against what they said whatever years ago when Pannell (?) when 17-1 against us v the Bulldogs
Those poor VFL teams, poor Essendrug, won’t someone think of the children?
they can fu** off
The system is so rigged against them.If i could be bothered, I would go back and quote every whiny campaigner who this morning is moaning about the free kick count and poor Essendon, and hold it up against what they said whatever years ago when Pannell (?) when 17-1 against us v the Bulldogs

Even when they cheated, one Victorian team got booted out of the finals, to be replaced by another Victorian team, CarLOLton.The system is so rigged against them.
I mean they only got pick 1 because they cheated.
It's infuriating. Must dispose of it correctly in a timely manner just like anyone else with the ball who is tackled. Hickey tried to take off took two steps, got caught and didn't dispose of it correctly. HTB all day every day.It's weird though, if a ruckman takes the ball out of the ruck does that mean he CANNOT be caught holding the ball no matter what happens?
Because that is how umpires seem to be interpreting it (sorry Jobe... interpretating it)
He can be pinged, but as you say that seems to be the dominant interpretation.It's weird though, if a ruckman takes the ball out of the ruck does that mean he CANNOT be caught holding the ball no matter what happens?

The problem is that even if we sit quietly, they will still continue to bash our club relentlessly.I grew up in the heart of Alberton as a die hard Crows fan but Port to me are just like any of the other 17 clubs - a team we have to beat to win a flag.
They have good young players, just like Sydney do. Just like we do.
They have some aging guys and some spuds, just like North do. Just like most other clubs do.
They have some dodgy off-field characters, just like Richmond do. Just like we do.
I have no vested interest in what colours they or any other clubs wear. If Port want to rock up in a floral get up for a Showdown, go for it.
I think the fixation on Port by a few of our posters comes across a bit sad on this board. A couple in particular come to mind, thankfully they stick to the Bay because it's downright embarrassing.
Leave it to Port fans to be "those guys", be the better club.
But Fitzroy in 1991........If i could be bothered, I would go back and quote every whiny campaigner who this morning is moaning about the free kick count and poor Essendon, and hold it up against what they said whatever years ago when Pannell (?) when 17-1 against us v the Bulldogs
