Macca, sure the umpires probably won't pick up most of the dives as being fake, but if they start paying frees against the blatant ones (which blind Freddy can tell), it may make players think twice about acting.

Wanganeen is a d*ckhead.

It'd just increase Wanganeen angst though, as only the poor actors would get pinged for it.

I don't mean as a player. I mean generally. I think he is an arrogant d*ckhead.

The AFL should start paying free kicks against those who blatantly act for a free kick.

no, too much pressure on the umpire.
Report the bastartd, if guilty he get's fined, repeat offenders start getting matches.

The solution is that umpires don't pay a free kick to him ever again. NEVER EVER. Even if its a legit free kick. And if he complains they can just quip, 'No you were acting'.

Also, if they want to take the next step, umpires should also penalise for every minor offense. If he so much as breathes on his opponent and his opponent falls over, well there you go free kick against Wangerneen.

Umpires should be able to pay free's against actors, which in my opinion is nothing more that cheating. But could we trust umpires to be able to distinguish the real free from the acting?

On a side note, my there are alot of post from Port people in this thread.. Obiviously our mods dont live in glass castles...

 

[noddy]

Port Power board please Moderator.

 

[Crow-mosone]

trying to convey to the umpires that something took place, knowing full well that it did not, is cheating plain and simple.

that some PAP supporters wish to support and condone this should come as no surprise.

This article is just putting into national press what we have all known for sometime. It is sullying wanga's reputation and maybe this will be the wake call for him.

Yeah, doesn't it suck when, on your own team's board, all you want to do is have a bit of a go at an opposition player and suddenly you get a horde of invaders telling you you're wrong?

I wouldn't know, couldn't care less how many "invaders" pop in & express an opinion all i'm on about is that maybe this thread should be on the "PP" board.

But that's only my opinion.

No. It only sucks to be Pork Power supporters who get all upset whenever anybody disagrees with them.

Hit him with a "we've got two Premierships" and I reckon you've got it in the bag.

One of you own started the thread I guess it doesnt hurt to have a discussion about other players with your fellow supporters, as well as having imput from other supporters!

Certainly doesn't bother me or most of us on this board if their arguments are rational..

It certainly seems to bother a certain moderator on the Port board though who either deletes their posts, or bans them.

Are you ok Stiffy? Pretty spiteful reply for such a nothing thread.

I'm still trying to work out how Stiffy's response was spiteful. I think a few too many PAPs supporters are acting a bit precious me thinks.

Careful with your choice of words there kirky, you don't want to appear overly 'spiteful' to Pork Power supporters, do you?
