Did Sydney cheat?

[Glenn_]

I know nothing of this incident but considering its only Swans fans claiming its not cheating, and knowing their history of cheating, then I'd have to assume yes.

 

[Number37]

The only surprising thing was that there was no #freekickhawthorn.

 

[BRAB]

Don't think it was malicious, no.

 

[Tedeski]

The Swans, known for breaking the rules late in close games, called for a stretcher when one wasn't needed. At the time, the ball was deep in the Lions forward pocket.

Did the Swans cheat?

For the sake of the thread let's just say yes!
That puts us 5 games clear of Fremantle!

Discuss please!

 

[J_Moore]

I'll say it again: the incident that led to the stretcher being called was a clear free kick to Sinclair. If people want to relive that passage of play over and over, go ahead.

Leppa going off like a loose cannon in his press conference, with the facts completely wrong and presumably no effort to find out what happened. What a surprise that a bloke that grabbed one of his junior players by the collar would go off half-cocked. The guy's a deadset idiot, isn't he?

 

[Tedeski]

Yes used it to halt momentum and get numbers back to stop a 1v1 deep in their defense

.......and two games clear of the Dogs!

I agree with the free kick Sinclair.

But leppa going off like a loose canon is a stretch. I thought he was composed for a man whose job is on the line and needs some things going his way. I havent been a fan of some of his presser as in the steven may one. But he said nothing wrong and admitted he may need a lesson.

 

[Bleeeeeeeeep]

People aren't looking at the bigger picture here........its for the development of the game.

 

[Tuco]

The Swans have form when it comes to cheating

Yep.

Goes back to watching the Blues play Essendon

Like North Melbourne's Tasmanian academy?

 

[Hobbes]

Should get a fine if stretcher doesn't get used in those instances

Can't really do much even if a team wanted to abuse it, they will run the player safety line.

Let's make it hurt. Make the fine in premiership points.

Move along nothing to see the AFL will investigate and award a free kick to hawthorn.

He kept saying "he went down with cramp after tripping over his own feet", which isn't what happened. The injury came after he was shepherded in the next bit of play.

Why, as a senior coach, you'd be so aggressive and run the "I'm filthy and I'm demanding answers" line when you weren't across the basic facts, I don't understand.

Every other coach would say "we'll wait to find out what happened - if the stretcher was used as a delaying tactic, you'd be disappointed, but we'll need to review the footage". It's coaching presser straight bat 101.

(Edit: Also, doesn't play regularly get stopped for stretchers/similar serious injuries? I feel like I've seen that happen a fair bit, and I'm not a full time footy coach and former professional player. How is Leppitsch not across that?)

 

[Bleeeeeeeeep]

Like North Melbourne's Tasmanian academy?

It's not an academy, it's the NMFC centre for kids who can't read good and want to learn to kick a ball good and other stuff good.

 

[Kummerspeck]

Just out of curiosity, can someone give me a timeline of events for the stretcher calling? Who made the tactical decision to call for it, how was it relayed to the trainers on the field, etc.

 

[hench]

"Loose cannon".

 

[J_Moore]

"Loose cannon".

He's an angry bloke and doesn't control it well.

Earlier in the game thread people were saying he was too composed for a close game.

Ahh please!

The Victims are crowing on top of the ladder!

Which team is it you follow?
Is it Gold Coast Kangaroos, Canberra Kangaroos, Tassie Kangaroos, Sydney Swans Piggyback Kangaroos, etc, etc?

Always playing the victims are good ole north melbourne supporters !

This (Lame and bitter) joke just gets funnier every time I see it!

Jokes are meant to be funny.

Think your maths needs work maybe get through primary school before trying to work out how many wins are between 16 premiership points and 20 premiership points.

But great childish response to something that has nothing to do with the topic at hand

 

[The King!]

Leppitsch is happy with the score review system at the Gabba today and the frees paid to christensen when not touched

Lions need to remember without that they would be 5 goals down when the stretcher came

So build a bridge and get over it

 

[BloodRet]

I actually thought it was a free kick to Hawthorn

Why respond to childish responses?
