Removing prior will solve a lot of issues imo.

More of an Answerth fan?

Its crazy how long they are letting some tackles go on* at the moment. It just invites more and more danger into the tackle instead of forcing players to move the ball on quicker

*if you arent a debut player with their first touch

I can’t believe the chase down tackles when the ball player has had substantial time to dispose the ball and they’re getting tackled and just dropping the ball and the tackler still doesn’t get rewarded. Does my head in and there were too many instances last week that was just infuriating and were quint essential what HTB is.

The government are happy enough for people to drink themselves to death and get addicted to pain meds but God forbid they grow some pot to smoke at home.

Well since you can tax #1 and #2 but not #3 what else would you expect?

Zero chance of him going from the Blues to the Saints . If he's got any sense. His next contract will be a biggie. They've built their defence around him.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Saints are just about the least threatening club over my time following footy. Cannot imagine them as a legitimate premiership threat even with Weitering

I’ve also laughed whenever ive heard Hugh being linked to the Saints. I mean if he were to leave Brisbane, and even then that’s a big if, surely it wouldn’t be to the Saints of all clubs.

You had to laugh at that young Phillipous manager tweeting King whinging about his client’s treatment.

Like Nathan said, I agree they’re up there with the most irrelevant club in my life - the only thing that seems to hold them in any stead is all their celebrity and captain of industry supporters.

 

[Mr Ripper]

We've converted another one Mr Ripper!

I don't think I'm as hardline on this as you are, Grasshopper.

Yes, I'm all for removing the prior/no prior distinction from the laws, but, for me, the ball player must be given some opportunity to dispose of the ball, as long as they are showing that intent.

The problem is players taking the piss by holding the ball to themselves to create stoppages. Dumbfounding how umpires are instructed to let this go.

Times have changed since 1984.



The philosophy behind the holding the ball law is to encourage the players to keep the ball in motion - and this seems to have been forgotten.

This mentions my pet hate… “In evading a tackle, deliberately falls to the ground.” It Happens every game as players try to draw a free kick. It’s never paid.

Pain meds make big money. The wheel is turning though won't be long until pot is 100% legal.

Travelling to Marvel Stadium every two months must be very strenuous for them though

The highlight from reading the article - the WA teams actually only get 12 business class seats per trip. So even taking the Vic clubs' own whinging at face value, half or more of the travelling party each week is still disadvantaged.

It is probably predominantly the same 12 that take the seats all the time too.
Older more experienced ones maybe.

I wonder if the AFL ignore Norths mention in the article.

North Melbourne General Manager of Football Todd Viney recently declared that requesting another AFL assistance package this year “won’t be on the cards”, despite his club continuing to languish at the bottom of the ladder.

And/or the talls I'd expect.

x Saints player sentenced to 5 years in prison with a minimum of 3 years before being eligible for parole, no sympathy for him as Meth is a life destroying drug.

Heard them talk about it on the footy shows last night. Comical the crap VIC clubs come up with

 

[dlanod]

And/or the talls I'd expect.

That was the logical one I thought - anyone over 190cm for starters.

 

[KissKiss]

And/or the talls I'd expect.

Think some club came out and said priority was given to rucks, key talls, players with back issues and then experience/leaders.

He must be the most frustrating player for suns supporters
