[Rors]

There is nothing wrong with stepping over the line as long as it is done straight after the bounce. He can stand there if he is there first as long as he doesn't do 2 actions.

Pretty sure you can't run past the midline & turn your body away from your opponent to protect the drop of the ball, particularly at centre bounces as that constitutes a block. I could be wrong though

The line is only there so you stay on your side until the ball hits the ground. And yes you cant just completely block a guys run but if you are there first and pretty much jump straight up there is no issue. I watched nearly all the game and didn't really notice anything strange but had someone asked me to look at it I may have.

David King on SEN seriously asked whether Essendon will be top four next year or just make the eight.

I shit you not.

 

[Rors]

Rofl... Ben Reid running down Rhys Stanley to win a HTB free kick... 2 blokes that desperately didn't want to fully extend in the run & chase at the risk of going twang

 

[NarrowMind]

Of course Geelong s**t the bed the week I back them by a margin

Ross Lyon with the Job Interview match today. Maybe I'm crazy, but to me it's clear as day that he'll be Tigers head coach by the start of the next season. Based on nothing, mind you...

I wouldn't worry.

There is a good chance they rebound quickly if they get back a bulk of their stars and have played a second team into form. They were a finals quality team before they fell apart under the strain of the CAS appeal. This could actually end up being a major benefit to them and 2 years of top 3 draft picks gives them a turbo boost at a time they should have been recruiting from picks in the teens. The club didn't get any real penalties, just the players they dicked over.

 

[NarrowMind]

I wouldn't worry.

They're going to have to have an uninterrupted 10 goal run to keep me alive fwiw.

 

[TassieSaint]

Did anyone else catch that stat on the Geelong Collingwood broadcast, most games with 20 disposals and 2 goals from 2013 to 2016, Nick Riewoldt equal first (with Wingard) with 21. This from a player supposedly past his prime. Amazing.

 

[Rors]

Please win Geelong.... Just for Pies lolz

 

[Choomah]

Lmao Collingwood

 

[CHBench]

Adelaide Oval is such an impressive stadium. Would love to see a match there. If only I could remember our last win in Adelaide...

It really is wonderful.

 

[Choomah]

Can't believe west coast gave up a first rounder for Wellingham, absolute shit truck

 

[VDS66]

Josh Kennedy has kicked 5 so far... Hinkley should have picked a tall defender. No idea.

 

[burningdwarf]

Tom Jonas is an absolute dog, hopefully Gaff isn't too badly hurt.

That was a shocker. Worse than May on Stef Martin IMHO

 

[Choomah]

That was a shocker, hope gaffs alright the only wet toast player I like

Agreed, raised his elbow into the back of his head at speed, looked seriously dangerous.

Hopefully he gets a suspension at least as long.

 

[Choomah]

Yeo is seriously rubbish, probably the most overrated player in the league

 

[Glen Buterol]

Wet Coke throwing their head back every time they're tackled. Can't believe the umps by it, every time.

 

[Defacto]
