Also we did get on incorrect disposal paid late in the game. North player had one hand held, they always pay those.

Oh I totally agree, it should be paid.So why not want to pay frees for good tackles
None of this distraction rubbish Gerard and Whateley talk about
Keep prior opportunity no worries. Protect the ball winner / ball carrier.
But so many frees missed on this
End of the third quarter tonight I think it was - ripper one handed throw by Cripps. Not paid, no umpire in a great position for it. But players can do that sort of stuff now as you are unlucky to have it paid
I hear what you are saying but executing a tackle requires a player to work hard to be in a position to tackle, execute a tackle without breaching the rules and do so in a way that the player can not dispose of the ball after being tackled, doesn’t spill the ball due to the force of the tackle and had a prior opportunity to dispose of the ball. A hell of a lot is within the control of the tackler in that scenario. Rugby union has an analogue where a player must release the ball after being tackled (there is a skill to bringing down the player and then getting to feet and reaching over the player to get the ball back or force them to hold onto it and give away the penalty). Can’t think of any other examples off of the top of my head.It is still a penalty imposed for a failure though, isn’t it?
The rule is ‘incorrect disposal’ or similar - not ‘sweet tackle bro’?
I know what you’re saying: the tackler creates the error in disposal & is awarded the free kick as the result, but it’s still really a penalty on the Player not disposing correctly & in that sense, its like other sports.
Sliding Doors with Barrett has always been an embarrassing piece of journalism. But his constant attacks on Clarko is taking the embarrassment to the next level now.
How he can be allowed to get away with blatant misinformation is beyond me.
At no point did Clarko sook about ‘perceived umpire bias against his players’.
couple of occassions where we didn't but his body over the ball, pretty soft actions.Is Sam Walsh going to be a Rhys Palmer? Some bad signs tonight. Lacks some real skill.
As for Jack Martin...Can play enjoy watching him.
Very Trent Cotchin like IMO. I think he will develop into a very fine leader and an elite, skilled 200 game player. I'd absolutely love to have him.couple of occassions where we didn't but his body over the ball, pretty soft actions.
He's young, but you'd want to get that out of your game

Yeah although I think a large reason for that was literally Carlton's inability to apply any pressure for the first quarter and a half.True, but the game was good to watch.
Sliding Doors isn't journalismAn embarrassing piece of journalism?
Why? I disagree. It's just journalism.
IMO it's always a readable column and generally makes valid points.
For example, his comment regarding McGuire and Collingwood is spot on - but Collingwood supporters would undoubtedly call it "embarrassing journalism" because they wouldn't like it.
In Clarko's case, Barrett's comment isn't unreasonable, although it's right at the edge in my view. It's fair comment.
Clarko didn't speak of umpire bias. That's why it's perceived (meaning implied).
But surely you have to concede that Clarko thinks we're getting the raw end from the umpires, with 69 tackles and no frees.
Sliding Doors isn't journalism
Mind you there isn't much that gets published that is these days.
It's pretty good at it's job of generating traffic and setting up future content when the website then expands on whatever got traction among the masses
Fair pointand yet here you are clicking on the article and reading it, then coming here to talk about it and getting others to seek it out, click on it, read and then come back here to agree with you.
That broad definition you use is shiteIf you want to define journalism as only reporting facts, then it's not journalism in that very limited sense. But journalism is far more than that, and includes opinion journalism on sport and entertainment as well as everyday news and politics and the like.
So like it or not, of course a column like that comes under the broad definition of journalism.
croc media is aptly named for very good reasonThat broad definition you use is sh*te
He's not reporting news he's creating content for clicks
The AFL website is part of Croc media now, it's all a self sustaining bullshit cycle between all of his radio tv and print brands
Entertainment maybe, fluff certainly but news, hardly, intelligent content even less so
There are 2 types of journalism people. No one is exclusive to one type, especially in a football environment.If you want to define journalism as only reporting facts, then it's not journalism in that very limited sense. But journalism is far more than that, and includes opinion journalism on sport and entertainment as well as everyday news and politics and the like.
So like it or not, of course a column like that comes under the broad definition of journalism.
We are in Nsw (Collingwood next week, Melbourne the week after)6 teams heading to Qld not including the HFC.
Does that mean we will be going to Sydney?
I prefer to think of Barrots sliding doors, like reading in a toilet, is it really necessary? It won't make you any dumber if you don't read it.and yet here you are clicking on the article and reading it, then coming here to talk about it and getting others to seek it out, click on it, read and then come back here to agree with you.
I swear if i see Barrett in the street & I can get away with it ( ie - no CCTV cams around etc. , witnesses ) I'll break his nose!hes a bitter norf supporter.
Most likely it is cache material (templates etc) which stop it taking a while to loadJust a random question on the bloody AFL website: I use Safari on a MacBook Air laptop. In the last week or so, every time I click on an article I get a popup window asking: "Do you want to allow "https://www.afl.com.au" to use up to 1.2 GB of storage on your Mac?" Then there's the Allow or Do not Allow options.
I'm naturally suspicious and keep clicking the dis-allow option. it is getting tedious though.

It's quite enjoyable watching the people on here flip-flop their views on journalists based on what they're reporting.
Good story about Hawthorn = "Oh he's on the money. Hawthorn fan from his childhood"
*Then writes negative story about Hawthorn*
"Who the fu** is this guy? What a mouth-breathing Hawk hater. He's headfu**ed!*
