Dixon really is Tex purchased from Ali Baba. Tries to do all the clever little things that the Racist does so very well, the pinpoint field kicks, the clever taps and look away handpasses.... but just manages to fk it up every time....

He's a ******* spud.

Carlton fans whinging about the umpiring in the smh

Why it’s time the AFL pushed back on this forgotten rule

Push has come to shove for footy’s forgotten rule; a Giants star has become a modern-day great after crossing to Geelong; and Carlton ruckman’s comeback is anything but the pits.

www.smh.com.au

On Saturday with the game poised, Geelong’s Ollie Henry took a mark on the goal line. There was a video review about whether he had marked inside the field of play, and after it was examined at length, it was decided he had.
What was not debated, but should have been, was the fact that before this there was a hefty shove in Lewis Young’s back. There is a reason it was not debated, and it wasn’t just because the video score review doesn’t (and shouldn’t) extend to reviewing those things. It was not in debate because there seemingly is never a debate about the fact players continue to feel free to shove opponents under the ball at will.

Carlton captain Patrick Cripps has a word with the umpire on Saturday afternoon.
Since the AFL – rightly – removed the hands in the back rule, umpires have taken the view that nearly everything now is permissible. Commentators use silly euphemisms like “worked him under the ball” when a player times the shove of an opponent just as he leaps, and hence goes flying forward. “That’s just good body work.” Well, it is if you accept getting away with a push in the back is good body work.

But the commentators of this play were left aghast at what Henry got away with. Goal-kicking great Jason Dunstall was surprised and bemused, David King perplexed.
“It’s an extraordinary push out,” Dunstall observed on Fox.
The generous view of the Henry moment was he might have pushed Young in the side, even though Young went cannoning forwards.

It was a missed free kick. And yes free kicks are missed by umpires, that’s accepted, and it might just be put down as an error. But the concern is the AFL won’t consider this and incidents like it an error because otherwise it is doubtful they would continue happening so frequently.


The Henry mark was one instance, but it happened again on Sunday when Swan Hayden McLean shoved Hawthorn’s Jack Scrimshaw under the ball. There are examples in every game.
The AFL first introduced the hands in the back rule because a push seemed devilishly hard to police. Then it abandoned that mandatory rule because the lack of leeway in interpretation made the cure worse than the cancer. Now we are back with players being freely pushed out. The AFL needs to push back, not push in the back.
In a game where the Blues were also penalised for a dubious stand 50 that resulted in a late goal, when the umpire told Harry McKay to stand but Patrick Cripps did instead, because McKay was injured and wandered away, the Blues had a right to feel they didn’t get the rub.

Dunstall is a Carlton wank from way back

Yep.

But pies filth and carlspoon both excused from playing at the bowling alley for 30 years.

Bullshit everyone else has to go there, one in all in.

I think Carlton went there a couple of times while they were glued to the bottom of the ladder.

Bwad Snott is a dumb carnt. Coping it royally and rightly deserved.

Fancy saying TT deserves a 2nd chance in the current climate.

He had multiple chances Bwadley.

No wonder this pumpkin was entrenched with the other half wits at AFL/FIFA house.

Him and his twin brother must have got half a brain each, and Cwis got the better half.

Old St.Kevins boy,where early abuse w/o consent is encouraged & part of the curriculum

Cornes can say what he likes about us lol.
Rather have a small rebuild with a cracker draft hand, 3 flags in the bank compared to a middling poort destined for yet another finals fail stuck in no mans land.

Port’s draft hand this year is 34, 52 & 88. So if their current list isn’t flag worthy they are fooked.

And the funniest thing? Cornes has been crying for the head of Bevo for years but supports Hinkley’s retention.

AA listed players? Port = 8. Dogs = 5.

And Hinkley has coached two years longer than Bevo for zero flags and zero GF’s. Bevo has 2 x GF’s and a flag.

Since Bevo took over only 1 x team has played in more than the Dogs 2 x GF’s, and that is us with three.

theres something deeply not right with the cats. like theyre got ties to the mob or something. everyone bends over backwards around them to make sure they never drop off.

Every time Selwood opens his mouth you're reminded of how many concussions he had during his career

If you spend 300 games milking head high free kicks it's gonna happen
