Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread XII

Sydney just toying with Freo. This is going to be an ugly scoreline.

Looks like one of those rounds where the top teams flex their muscles...

GWS, Sydney and Tigers...

I hope Adelaide are ignoring it

Well they kind of did it last week vs Port.

Geelong in front..

What if it were Roughead instead of Dalhaus? It would've been to the chest and play on.

But it wasn't. Just as it doesn't matter that the player you've caught high in a tackle, concussed while shrugging contact or punched in the throat is short rather than tall, it isn't a defence for a boot in the chin.

The onus is on the player to avoid contact to the head, excepted in very limited circumstances where contact is drawn by ducking (nope), dropping the knees (nope) or leading with the head (nope) or incidentally (nope) in a marking contest (nope).

Well then Geelong are flexing their muscles

 

[Beerfish]

Now Caddy done with a hammy.

 

[raskolnikov]

If we finish 8th let's hope Sydney don't finish 5th.

 

[Beerfish]

Houli is such a shit footballer.

 

[raskolnikov]

Richmond are no chance for the flag. Straight sets.

 

[raskolnikov]

I thought Rance never has a bad game.

 

[Harlequin]

Just saw the Sydney, Freo score

Good gosh is Sydney that good or Freo really poor?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Smash them Cats

Yes.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Would love for us to smash Freo like the Swans are doing but all I can see is a 3-4 goal grinding win.

 

[Harlequin]

Yes.

Thanks Beery

That's what I thought

After careful consideration of the evidence and consultation with my attorney Howard Moon, I believe I've come to a profound conclusion. The only plausible explanation for contemporary events is that you, BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!, control Essendon's on-field displays with the power of your mind. Your performance anxiety is directly responsible for their wild inconsistency.

High contact is not against the rules?
A fend off to the face with your hand is high contact. You don't believe the same might apply if using a boot?

No it's not. A player is allowed to protect his space by raising his leg. Just like it is OK to knee someone in the back of the head as hard as you like.

This season Daniher and green have both raised their boots similar to what Greene did and no free was paid.

Umpires clearly got sucked in because it was Greene who did it.

Wow free kicks Geelong 20 Richmond 7 at half time...

 

[vast]

Thankfully I see port finishing 5th lol

 

[TD_B52]

Said it all year, but the tigers are overrated. Barely getting wins against average teams. They don't bat that deep, second teir is second rate. They're going to fall hard.

Call me crazy but I'd rather play Sydney at the SCG than Port at Adelaide Oval in a final. We haven't beaten Sydney up there in a while but they're typically close games.

That's crazy. As long as you lock your car at AO it should be fine.

Daniher shouldn't have done it either. Pretty clear the contact was intentional.

Only in a marking contest, and even then only when contact is "incidental".
