Non-Lions discussion 2023

[JasRulz63]

I have no doubt that they will lift for next weeks game against Dunkley.
But if our guys play with anywhere near the intensity of last night I dont see how they have the class to keep up with us.

6 day break is no excuse either cause the Dogs will be coming off a 5 day break.

 

[HereIGoAgain]

Steven May and Melbourne would go close. For a side as good as they are, they're 1-3 in their last 4 games when May has missed.

After watching Geelong the other night Jeremy Cameron may enter the conversation soon.

 

[dlanod]

Clug & Berry (Witherden and Cox).

And if I’ve read things right here, 2016 was the beginning of our second or third rebuild.

Nah. At no point were we really rebuilding. At best we were puttering along indifferent to our impotence. Rebuilding implies a degree of intent that was never present.

Looking at their team list tonight they’d have at least 14 players in their ‘bottom 6’ players out there.

Where's that bulldogs poster who posted on the port gameday thread?

 

[Dalions]

Not watching the game but for anyone who is.
How is the Perth Turf looking?

Probably on the dogs board whinging about how much they are missing Dunkley.

 

[Tom14]

Watching the Dogs at centre bounces, they haven't replaced Dunkley's defensive role at the stoppages. Like us, they have lots of players that look good when they're winning clearances, but they also have a lot of one way runners in the midfield.

Also, why has Caleb Daniel attended more centre bounces than Macrae???

 

[Nunez]

LDU has been fantastic.

Bevo is cooked as a coach.

 

[Hollow Knight]

North very lucky. Not sure exactly what the rule book says but I feel Freo should have got a free kick for that deliberate.

 

[JasRulz63]

It's an interesting one. The umpires usually take a few seconds to play deliberate, usually because they're running in with a dramatic gesture (with Billy Bowden-esc enthusiasm). But if the umpire hadn't had time to do that before the siren went, I assume a free kick isn't paid?

Yeah again I don't know what the rule book says, but the ball was out before the siren went and therefore it seems only fair that a decision on deliberate should be made, even if the siren goes before the umpires can signal.

If it went out of bounds on the full I wonder if they would have applied the same logic?

Looking forward to an incredible explanation on how umpires interpret time tomorrow. Content league!

I think the rules agree with you (only time it seems this isn't the case is OOTF).

Not sure either.

But the umpire seemed to be saying that the siren went before the ball crossed the line.

If that is in fact the rule, then I think it was the right call

Yeah I'd be okay with that, but I am not sure that is what actually happened.

 

[BuntonRules]

Who cares? Footscray lost

 

[BRAB]

If I was a Freo fan I’d be raging

 

[HereIGoAgain]

The umps had as much of a clue about that as the rest of us. Completely baffled.

 

[dlanod]

Luckily we keep them all quarantined over the other side of the Nullarbor.

 

[Hollow Knight]

There is video now that shows the siren sounding before the ball crossed the line.

They got it right.

 

[MSB ROYS]

About not turning up for 3 quarters?

 

[Elixuh]

Nah. At no point were we really rebuilding. At best we were puttering along indifferent to our impotence. Rebuilding implies a degree of intent that was never present.

Yeah remember, from Wet n Wild to top 4. So 2010.

 

[rye]

the worst part about this for a freo supporter is their back end of the year is much, much harder than this early run....
