No Oppo Supporters 2023 General AFL Discussion - incl. AFL Grand Final

[bedford]

No longer at that stage. The AFL needs to start charging for the action, not the outcome. They've got the chance to stamp things like this out before we have a player who doesn't wake up from one of these hits.

No damage done

The AFL have updated the crowd at GWS to 8,169 , looked to be 300 there

 

[bedford]

So clever

 

[Kiama Chris]

Wasting your time.

 

[Bloods86]

Goals, was Freo's leading goalkicker. 36 actually.

Not at all , very intrigued by people that put this stuff up ,instead of saying something themselves

Let's hope he kicks 21

 

[bedford]

McAdam gets 3 because he's going to tribunal , what is the difference between him and Pickett

The idea that intentional high hits are ok just because there's not lasting damage to a player is a pretty dumb idea.

I never said that . Pickett and McAdam should be 3 and totally different to Buddy who was just dumb , but he's old school and probably at times he hasn't changed from when he started .

Buddy deserved the week. He squared up intentionally with the shoulder/elbow, got someone high. He tried it and missed earlier in the game. Has done it plenty before. "Just dumb" is a poor excuse. He needs to be better.

Personally I think Pickett should get more than 3 even if that's the "by the rules" result that should have been applied (and somehow he didn't even get that).

All i'm saying is that Buddy started with a different game and yes he has to learn . He's never been a dog on the ground like blokes like Baker , Libba and King

He's had plenty of time, he's been reported and banned for this stuff before. Starting years ago.

Who said he's smart apart from footy ability

It's not a matter of being smart or dumb.

It is with some in all walks of life , even on here

Plenty of people with below average intelligence know that continuing to do something that can seriously harm others, is wrong.

 

[bedford]

Just realised that we are away 5 out of the last 6 games !

 

[Olian]

Hardest thing to do in a contact sport is to protect players from injury. The sport has come along way in stamping out mindless rough play. However, players will still bump (which they are allowed) and 99% of the time it’s timed well. However, if you get a player high you are in trouble. The game is doing what it can. Buddy deserves a week.

Worst injury of the round was Howe. No one to blame but bad luck.

Apparently 360 showed the Howe injury tonight , that's poor , but so is the slob of a host

I think it’s 2 out of the last 6 at the SCG.
We go to Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne and Homebush in the last 6 weeks.

Sorry Gold Coast and Melbourne so 4 out of 6 away

 

[Old Kenny]

And he's still going on about it saying Buddy knew exactly what hes doing . This is the same rat that took a Swans player out with his knees in a final , might've been Craig McCrae

Craig O’Brien?

 

[Mister B]

That rat King on SEN just said it's a joke Buddy got 1 , should start at 3 , he says just so happens we play Hawthorn and he won't be needed . Seriously hate this henry the 3rd

A joke that this campaigner is so vocal against this sort of stuff yet was quite happy to cave O'Briens face in with his knees in order to win a Grand Final. Prick.
