I read your board sometimes if I feel like a good belly laugh - this is a public forum or didn’t you know?He is not the one reading opposition boards and sooking about it on the main board. That's you
That’s about the averageHow old are you mate, 15?
That’s rich. 15 would be the average IQ of your mob’s supportersHow old are you mate, 15?
Have a look at your own board. x10 whatever else has been posted elsewhere combined. It’s full to the brim with irrational lunatics with the occasional rational poster (few and far between). I think if you look at the Geelong board you’ll find that the numbers of whinges about the umpiring is far, far lower than what Richmond spews out.
It’s a public forum, isn’t it? Do you imagine that no opposition supporters ever look at your board? I need a good laugh… Are you saying that Richmond supporters never look at opposition boards? I mean, wtf are you on about? Get realWhy do you feel the need to read the Richmond board?

Cop out.
You go to our forum for a good laugh, fair. For my good laugh I pull up the wiki page for Jason Castagna and Patrick Dangerflop and laugh at how Castagna (a VFL level player) has infinitely more premiership medalsIt’s a public forum, isn’t it?

Yep. That really is a joke worth laughing at given how Richmond supporters have been ripping into Castagna latelyYou go to our forum for a good laugh, fair.

That's what makes it funnier. The fact that he is a spud and we know he is a spud but has infinitely more premiership successYep. That really is a joke worth laughing at given how Richmond supporters have been ripping into Castagna lately
I could name any number of very good Richmondy players who never had premiership success, e.g. Matthew Richardson, but so what? Whatever gets you through the night - enjoy your next 37 years in the wildernessThat's what makes it funnier.

Kevin Bartlett. He’d throw the ball in front of him as soon as a tackle was laid and got paid countless frees for it.It's not rubbish. Have you been sitting under a rock for the last few years? This is how the umpires adjudicate HTB these days. It's not the 70's, 80's or 90's anymore where you were grabbed and if you didn't dispose of it in a split second, you were gone.
And they changed the rule because of him. They should have changed the rule for Selwood but they waited for Ginnivan to copy him before they were forced to....Kevin Bartlett. He’d throw the ball in front of him as soon as a tackle was laid and got paid countless frees for it.
How can anyone criticise Selwood given all the knocks he has copped and blood he has shed is beyond me. He obviously puts his head over the ball more than just about any other player in the history of the game. If the AFL is serious about protecting a player’s head in a contest, then dropping the knees is irrelevant (not that I agree with that accusation anyway).And they changed the rule because of him.

It's the main knock on him. Yeah we know Geelong bias will make you say that but if you are realistic some of the tackles are so low, that the player making the tackle can't realistically expect it to end up high. Players like Selwood angle themselves and raise their arm forcing head high contact in those situations. Yes, it's a skill that draws a free but it has never been in the spirit of the game.How can anyone criticise Selwood given all the knocks he has copped and blood he has shed is beyond me.

I think - and it’s only my opinion, of course - if a player gets to the ball first, then it is up to the tackler to lay a tackle in such a way so that the player in possession of the ball doesn’t get any benefit from allegedly ‘dropping’ his knees - if the tackle ends up too high for any reason, too bad. The free must be rewarded.
The head has to be protected regardless of the circumstances otherwise the AFL is going to be sued big-time one day. Also, whoever is first to the ball must be rewarded.
My two cents worth.
