Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

[relapse]

Duck-Francis is the new Selwood

I don’t get the AFL, introduce rules to speed the game up and reduce congestion, then stop playing holding the ball so there’s more stoppages, they are truly heckheads

Unfortunately holding the ball is not a rule it's an opinion. No-one knows it.

And all w***er BT will blab about is Ginnivan

 

[Grooster24]

Is there some unwritten rule where if the defence kicks across the goal square it's not 15? I swear the umps call play-on pretty much every time regardless of the distance.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

LOL that same useless goal umpire reviewing that.... crikey

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Now he calls for a review. Shell shocked.

 

[Samcro24]

Oh so now you call a review

Unfortunately holding the ball is not a rule it's an opinion. No-one knows it.

But it’s a clear instruction not to pay it

Hawthorn at the MCG in a few weeks is looking more challenging for us

 

[AFC3000]

Never understood why they don’t put the hyped attendance announcement away when it’s a low number and the teams getting easily beaten.

Hahahahaha holding the ball

Umpire's are instructed to not pay it even if it is longer than a Rankine half marathon.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

That Breust HTB decision was mighty stiff... seen some absolute howlers this weekend not paid...

 

[relapse]

Port are definitely still in this, Hawthorn have stopped attacking and trying to protect their lead and that's often a recipe for disaster.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Wow. Htb?

Sunday, against a high drawing Victorian team, 36k
Mothers day, against a low drawing team, 40k

Who's the bigger club huh?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

There’s two holding the ball decisions ffs

 

[Moonwatcher]

But it’s a clear instruction not to pay it

They basically had it perfect in the 90s. They're trying to get it back to that but the umpires no longer have a feel for the game.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Umpires doing the even up.

Sure, everyone makes mistakes at work and most should be forgiven.

But I think when you have one job to do, and you stuff that up and cost maybe a client or the company hundreds of thousands of dollars, you’re provably out of a job.

Butters was clear HTB

Butters was clear HTB

Different rulebook for that guy.

 

[Grooster24]

Love how they keep putting up a shot of the crowd.[emoji16]

 

[Moonwatcher]

The AFL became an under 9's game of tag over the last decade where prior opportunity nor the ability to stick a tackle mattered. So I like that the AFL is trying to fix it.

Umpires doing the even up.

Amazing how often it happens. They clearly look at the count at breaks and try to even things out. Such an amateurish league
