Ben Brown Staging

[Dirty_11]

The umpires will let ruckmen grapple if both ruckman choose to. When one ruckman is trying to run and jump at the ball and the other looks at him and moves to block his run the umpire usually pays it.

And yes, BBB put a bit of mayo on it which I didnt particularly like.

Have said many of times.Until the AFL make the umps full time these type of decisions will continue.

Gillon McLaughlins bonus should just about cover the costs.
The guy insists he can't do a competent job on a measly $2 million + a year. He needs massive bonuses to motivate him. Even then he fails miserably.

Say whatever you want about Benny, but Rance's dive against the bombers is the best i have seen.

I remember seeing a Goodes one against the Tigers where he threw his arms up and thrust himself forward like he'd been shot. Got a free. The replay showed the Richmond player was meters away.

There's this classic one by goodes against the tiges. Occurs between 3.20-3.40, not as good as Browns pike with the somersault and mctwist but still pretty special

Only one who gets carried away is BB when flopping

Okay, good thing no one from Richmond has ever done that.

I agree. If a player breaks a rule that a Richmond player has been previously penalised for, then that rule is not broken and the action of the player should be supported and admired by all.

No it didn't, it showed he got hit in the face by a trailing hand of a player going the other way.

Very kind of him to stage as a VFL reserves player today for us

 

[citizen-erased]

I look forward to the howls ... no it is Essendon supporters we are talking about here ... SQUEALS of anguish on Friday night when Ben, having got separation from Hooker is felled by a blow from behind from the great dolt and justly awarded the free kick.

I can just see it now, the male figures in their sub-Carl Williams fashion sense screeching "dive", their partners, failed MAFS entrants they are looking up from their phones for once, the imbecile children trying to overcome the calming effects of the medication they are on with endless gulps of coke and Monster squealing "baaaaaaaaalll" as soon as any North player is tackled without any reference to the actual context of play.

Many squeals.
None of anguish
Cool story tho

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

He did the exact same flop as last week and the ump gifts him a free kick what bullshit.

 

[Beerfish]

There was a pack that went up at one stage and he was right in the middle of it but instead of putting his arms up he looked like he was cowering from the contact with his hands near his head. If he'd put his arms up and looked at the ball he'd probably have taken it. He'd definitely have got hands to it first. Just bizarre.

Ben “Flopmeister” Brown.

Prefer mitch "dont need frees to kick em" brown
Never thought I'd say that

 

[boncer34]

Very first ruck contest he went to do the same thing and clearly remembered he'd been called out during the week and stopped mid flop.

The funnier thing was that he was trying to do it from behind too.

Got halfway through his flop and suddenly straightened up fine.

Was rather amusing.

 

[Topkent]

In all seriousness he was more paranoid about his opponent tonight than launching for the footy. He's a powerful tall bloke and he plays with no presence. Was constantly throwing his body forward everytime it wasn't on a platter for him. He needs to jump and stay strong, focus on the ******* ball.

 

[Joao]

He is hardly the only one that does this but geez it looks bad. Probably because he is so noticeable on the field.

Seemed to be constantly falling forward in marking contests today. Just try and catch the damn thing!

 

[windyhill]

You ok JeanLucGoddard , purely a welfare check old son.....

 

[eth-dog]

His direct opponent had as many goals as him.
