Oppo Camp Other Games Rolling Thread (2023)

If Adelaide and Richmond can cause a minor upset on their home deck we can potentially go 2 games clear on top.

Hardwick gone

Hardwick gone

I had to triple check that when I first heard it.. imagine if Teague does well as interim with Tigers, Ratts does well as interim at Roos, we have Bolton doing well with us...just a bit more salt into the Blues wounds

The difference is that there is an advantage in exceeding interchanges and to get rid of the advantage you'd have to wind back the game and reverse the interchange. In terms of a 6-6-6 warning - no advantage was had because the game doesn't restart until they're all in place.

It’s a breach of the rules.
And there is no other breach of the rules that does not have a consequence applied.
This doesn’t have any consequence applied.
And that’s pretty much unconscionable.

And don’t forget they let Lyon slip through their fingers because they thought they needed a “Process”.

Yeah, let's increase the number of technical frees. They're great. My favourite part of the game.

My initial comment in this was connected to the interchange rule and harsh penalty North received on the weekend, ie a free and a 50..yet this 6-6-6 rule they consistently just give warnings for. It's the inconsistency of applying rules which shits me.

Wasn't there a game this year where we gave free kicks away (twice) because of the 6-6-6 rule?

Maybe someone can recall who it was against.

I just don’t think Harley Reid is as good as WCE are playing bad for him…

I can see Eagles Trading Pick 1 IF they do finish last

 

[Black_White]

So you’d rather the rule continue to not be enforced?
Just like the head high tackle rule isn’t enforced when it’s certain players being infringed?
It’s a rule. You don’t get to pick and choose when it’s enforced. The 6-6-6 rule has no teeth. So drop it or enforce it.

If we had pick 1, I’d hope we’d trade it as well

Immaterial.
There may have been a small, small percentage of this breach that has been penalised.
But the majority of the breach have gone unpunished.
If you have a ruckman who is dominant on the throw up, but not so good at the ball up, why wouldn’t you engineer a warning to gain the throw up advantage when down by 1 to 5 points and a minute to go in a granny?
And don’t think someone in the AFL coaching ranks hasn’t already thought of that scenario.

I wasn't make a case for or against the rule, I was merely stating/asking that I thought we had free kicks against us for breaching the rule.

The rule meets its purpose and is enforced. Game doesn't restart until the 6 6 6 is in place and after the second time a team isn't in place on time a free kick is paid.

Would you like them to pay a 50 every time someone is over the mark, rather than giving them a warning to move back a metre? Umpires give warnings in a lot of circumstances to avoid technical frees. I think it's great

Yes, that's what I thought too... against Lions. Fly put it down to confusion because it was the first week of our makeshift ruck situation.

I get so angry at some decisions, couldn't remember which game. You are right, it was that game

Same. So much inconsistency. I'd probably still get angry at decisions, but if they were applied equally to everyone, at least we could all be angry together

Can't see the scum losing this one. Should be an easy, yet meaningless, kill for those flat trackers.

 

[gerryg400]

I don’t want a win for the blues but I’m worried a loss might hasten Vossy’s exit. I want him there for years.

A draw is needed.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Agreed they shouldn't lose. Charlie and Harry will probably get 10 between them. Still let my heart rule though and tipped the Swans.

Tipping against Carlton in any 60-40 or 50-50 game is serving me well so far this year.

 

[Doc1763]

Go Swans!!!

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Reckon Sydney get the job done tonight. Will have to go back and forth to the Carlton board to read the meltdowns if Sydney get right on top of them.....

 

[PepperFace]

Bullshit non-freekick paid to curnow. He was in a marking contest and the umpire called play on. What the f6ck!!

 

[Mkcaptain]

Shame about the goal but WTF was that Charlie. Didn't even see Clokey do that

 

[Doc1763]

Hard to hit the man on the mark when to kick it sideways!

Sydney doing everyone a favour and getting Carlton supporters hopes up.
