Michael Walters constant diving

[WillieNillie]

When is this going to be given airplay as a topic? His diving and staging for free kicks is worse then Shuey/Ablett/Selwood combined. Every single game this year I've seen him run head first into a opponent atleast 2 or 3 times in a game. Already has his 3 in this first half. One of them he sacrificed winning the ball completely to try and win a free kick.

The way it's going unmentioned seems a bit like lazy journalism if you ask me. I'm not lazy and I'll call him on it

He is the worst diver and stager in AFL history and it's time he was given Frees against for it. Enough is enough really

Call the AFL umpires about it then

It's 2019. You don't get action that way. You only get action when Eddie McGuire and David King wet their panties about in the media. Then it gets a action

 

[Woody15]

He’s one of the worst. Getting to the point where he is doing it nearly everytime he is near the ball.

Such a shame because he is a fantastic and exciting player.

 

[WillieNillie]

Another thing is he is really bad at it, so he is constantly not getting any free kicks for his hideous diving as well. This probably helps him escape the spotlight a bit more then those who dive less but get more free kicks out of it too

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

If he's getting free kicks, than they need to instruct the umpires. If he's not getting frees, then it's only a problem for Fremantle to sort out.

I'd say it hurts both sides of the game at this point. Fremantle more then the opposition

 

[The_Eagles]

i haven’t even seen him milk one for a free kick for years, he keeps doing it fruitlessly over and over

 

[Yeti]

It's a disgrace.

Plenty on our board have been complaining about it for years.

He is too good to be such a diver.

Rubbish. Just a player.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Baffling when he's easily good enough to win the ball without it. Not the first talented player afflicted by this disease, but it'd be nice if he was the last.

Cripps from WC says hi.

 

[dcutter]

Spot on and is rapidly losing fans.

Has gone from one of the most exciting players in the league to one of the most frustrating and polarising with his pathetic milking for frees.

Seems to be increasingly prevalent in his games. It seems nearly every second contest he’s trying to milk one.

 

[Quinz]

Worst in the league by a street. Unwilling to attempt to win the ball legitimately in almost any contest at the moment.

He's an amazing player who doesn't need to do it either, and rarely gets rewarded for it. He's getting worse by the year, didn't start his career this way.

We constantly criticise Walters for his diving on our board.

That's the difference between us and eagles fans - they defend their cheats.

What is rubbish?

That he is too good to be a diver? Explain.

 

[Chop1]

Cripps from WC says hi.

Give an example?

 

[danielnajdek]

Give an example?

About 10 on Friday night mate. Watch the game again. Ducks every time he gets the ball to try and get a free.

So from 18 dispolas, he had 10 ducks? That's over 50%? wow surely he must front the MRP? You still didnt give an example BTW. give me a quarter, time, something to go by. No? didn't think so.

 

[Vintage]

Watching the game I must have said to myself half a dozen times “he should be dropped for this bs”

It was pathetic tonight. He should be ashamed of himself.

You're kidding right? Ever watch Jamie Cripps play? throws himself forward every time when being tackled to milk free kicks for in the back.

Get off your soap box hypocrite
