Oppo Camp Non-Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2018

Can anyone tell me how many weeks buddy got for elbowing?

Zip, nada, nil, zero, zilch.

Can see Hawkins doing something similar this week and getting the book thrown at him though.

Your joking right?

 

[BotsMaster]

It's true. Even Vince got nothing for bumping Dale Thomas.

Where the * was Christian in 2013!?

 

[Whit3y]

It's true.

* me

 

[winty]

Your joking right?

Franklin escaped penalty with MRO Michael Christian saying he tried to evade the tackle and his actions while in possession of the ball were not unreasonable in the circumstances.

"Franklin had the ball under his left arm and as he tried to shrug and break the Hamling tackle (he) made high contact, but (I) didn't believe that he breached his duty of care," Christian said.

"When a player has possession of the ball his duty of care is perhaps not as high as if he was tackling or bumping, and (I) believed that in the circumstances he's entitled to try and break the tackle, which he did and was eventually able to get the handball off."

I said to a mate of mine after that first goal (which was the result of the missed trip to Danger) that I'm getting really sick of the AFL world deciding a "story" to a game (in that case it was the Bombers response) and the commentators, AFL in general and seemingly the umpires jumping on board.
Check it out with all seriousness, look all week at the media and what "story" a game seems to be creating and watch 50/50 (or worse) free kicks favour that story. We know the commentary has for a few years now, seems the umpires have jumped on board.

And that trip to Dangerfield was the start of the appalling umpiring for the rest of the game. Did the experts review that decisions, does the umpiring actually unnerve players so that they start to second guess any play that might result in a free against?

Surely Buddy's elbow falls into the "duty of care" nonsense the AFL spew out?

You would think so, but obviously not. Similar to how his arc isn't play on, but it is for any other player who deviates off their line.

Or his drug strikes

Maybe his "bruised heel" was another enforced lay-off.

Hahaha. Buddy doesn’t get suspended for anything.

But in saying that i don’t really think what he did deserved a week, as long as they stay consistent with these things when a player is being tackled. No doubt someone will get rubbed out for something similar this week though, as per mro standards

Someone better tell hawkins to keep his elbows down this week

Well worth the watch

 

[Cronin]

Well worth the watch

This guy's got more courage than I do, good on him

Will we have the ends renamed too to the X-Men end and the Avengers end?

I made that comment during the match because that's exactly what it seemed like with our guys during the match - we had numerous holding the ball decisions go against us (at least two could easily have been free kicks for tripping with both Danger & then Crameri grabbed around the legs, hell the tackle against Crameri wasn't even held), while we would make good tackles with ball-up the call.

I have no doubt there was confusion in the minds of our players

Callum Mills has busted his foot in an innocuous incident. Won't play again this year.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

KB would be proud of this.

Half the first quarter gone and only one goal.
