Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 11 - Walyalup (Freo) v Pies Fri May 24th 6:10pm WST/8:10pm AEST (OS)

[Shane Heard]

Oh I am, I call them out every week on our board.

Let me let you in on a little secret, just because my team is s**t, doesn't mean I'm going to pass up the chance to take the piss out of other team's fans for acting like little children.

So you want to to be like North fans.

Good luck with that

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I LOVE that this free kick was paid. I'm an absolute crusader for removing these time wasting tactics from the game to speed it up and increase scoring. Dude had ZERO reason to give the ball to Daicos. None. Zip. There's no reason to be confused.

I can promise you that that guy will never do that again. Bang, rule was effective.

Keep it up umps, make the players adapt. Give the ball straight back, keep the play flowing, don't give a team a chance to set up defensively through sneaky time wasting techniques.

Hope it expands to marks/free kicks, no more lying on the ball, no more grabbing at a player, no more pointing at the player.

Love this.

 

[beerbandit]

Ah well . 2 points are better than none.

Dust off and move on, that’s what the Pies will do.

 

[eddiesmith]

Pies fans claiming that the umpires lost them the game but Collingwood won the free kick count.

Interesting the free kick count.

I looked at one stage it was 14-16 Collingwood, Freo got 3 free kicks after that including the bullshit one, next count was 14-19 Collingwood…

I wanna be whatever entertains me the best, if it makes me like North fans cie la vie.

To be fair Collingwood fans do make it easy with how they're acting

 

[PerthBoy86]

Why are they carrying on about a draw, you know the higher ups are thinking of it, like when they started talking about twilight or night gf. I mean soccer has draws in the regular season, seems to me there'd be even more reason to have shoot-outs to decide those games, like what's so terrible about a draw in the H&A season? I kind of like how it's unusual and it throws a spanner in the works of the ladder.

 

[YeoShuey]

It looks like poor Nicholls couldn’t be bothered to walk an extra 3 steps. Lazy.

 

[ReidBetweenTheLines]

Do they umpires no longer ask for a ruckman to nominate for ballups around the game any more??

Love this.

They also let out a warning shot earlier with the 50m paid for clear time wasting, but stuff that usually players get away with.

The issue, as always, is the inconsistency. I'm all for cutting out the clear s**thousing tactics, but you need to make players aware before and during the game, and you would need it to then be applied equally across games/rounds. It's pointless if they adjudicate it as a "rule of the game" but are then slack in others.

 

[eddiesmith]

I thought the free kick against Sullivan was probably unnecessary but heck it's going to be blown out of proportion. It's really not that hard to give the ball back to the umpire.

Yet the irony of paying time wasting is he had his back to the umpire and was getting up, it’s actually quicker to give to Daicos to give to the umpire than waiting for him to get up, see the umpire and then give it back to him.

 

[cactuscall]

Always the pathetic excuses..way to go go

You're way past the point of anything you post actually being considered by other decent users or even respected by the worst. Most people like to engage in genuine discussion and opinion, but not you! Pathetic existence you must have to make these sorts of continuous posts. The question is, why bother?

On you go to the ignore list to make Bigfooty a better experience.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

How is it time wasting when the clock is stopped ?

More time for defence to set up, same reason all time wasting occurs throughout the game after free kicks, contested marks and ball ups. It's a blight on the game.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Collingwood board and the whingers on the main board will give me some good entertainment tonight, quite pathetic to be honest, you can run with the umpire excuses or the 6 players under 10 games excuse all you like, if you were good enough you would have won, plain and simple.

Im
Not having a whinge about umpires at all and in fact pies should have won, but if that is the way you want the game to be umpired than the games in great trouble.

I mean, he looked at the umpire, turned around and gave Daicos the football. It was still a stupid free kick to pay, but if it's true that Nicholls did give them a warning earlier in the game, then fair enough.

 

[SSwans2011]

On another note, for all the shit he cops, the way Nick Daicos dealt with the free kick was admirable. Tried to diffuse the situation and prevent 50m from being paid, great leadership. Respect.

Father Whateley insisted last year when Hardwick bolted that the Richmond coaching job was an absolute plum job to land.
In reality it was always a one way ticket to death row which Hardwick and most informed fans knew.
The preacher should stick to scoring for his local cricket club …

That's what the Foxtel boys club said, but what other choice did he have? You could only just get on with it and get your bone head team mates to do the same. Anything else is futile.

Incredible what players are labelled admirable for these days.

 

[Corkintheocean]

Do people realise that Freo was a younger and less experienced team than Collingwood?

You do realise that Pendlebury and Sidebottom playing throws the avg age and avg games figure out of whack?

A lot of other players (including Nick's teammates) would let their emotions get the better of them there. The hero worship from the media is a bit much, but he did well to not let his emotions get the better of him.

Difference is I don’t complain about 50/50’s like most of you guys. I am referring to clearly obvious non-frees.

The ego of this dude

 

[hoss]

Bitter and twisted. Lol, relax

I'm extremely relaxed. You seem a bit upset over the result. Great effort by Freo over an older, more experienced Pies team.

I get your point, but Steele is the same age as Walters.

 

[Elixuh]

Richard’s isn’t some random, he plays like Charlie Cameron (without the self indulgent rev of the motorbike)

Shultzy is good depth to have then!

Glad you agree. Tell it to old mate.
