What part of Adams - our best clearance mid - being out of the team don't you get. Not the entire answer but aside from his clearance numbers his absence affects team balance and especially midfield balance.
Correction - 99.9% will not readThere is no vendetta. Spacing it out and making it easier to read is not a difficult thing to do. It’s up to you but 95% of people aren’t gonna read it in its current format.
Disagree when that player is the main in and under extractor - have him and Sier at the coal face frees others to play more outside where their true skill set lies.One player isn't going to make that big of a difference. If you have a ruckman with the talent of Grundy and guys like Pendlebury, Treloar, Sidebottom around the ball, you shouldn't be getting beaten the way we do. In saying that, they might be happy to lose the clearances given that we are a strong post stoppage contested ball side. Lose it on the inside, but win it on the outside where there is less congestion and more ability to spread.
They’re saying the umpire got it right, but the rule will come under review at the end of the year - ie. ‘we ****ed up, but won’t admit it’. Expect the umpires to pay those marks for the rest of the year.Has there been a statement yet from the AFL about whether the umpire got the ruling correct?
If you put your thinking cap on you might jsut be able to figure out that those 2 statements are not mutually exclusive.

Nope. Just nope.I actually agree with the Howe decision. Allowing climbing for the mark is good for the spectacle of high marking, but kicking someone in the back horizontally and then marking at normal chest mark height is not.
With you on this one.Nope. Just nope.
Spot on.With you on this one.
A mark. Simple.
The whole leg / foot and stops can be dangerous, sure, but the context is important.
Howe just launched using his leg because of positioning, no ill intent at all. No nastiness, no danger.
Hence should be a mark.
A foot stomp, a foot grip, a kicking foot, a thrusted foot etc they rightly can be penalised.
More than anything they really need to start thinking of applying a common sense approach.Spot on.
Some of the umpiring was genuinely mind boggling.
Yep. All i really want out of umpiring is two things - Common sense, and consistency.More than anything they really need to start thinking of applying a common sense approach.
The feel at the ground and by all the players was, great mark. That simple.
If it’s a dangerous nasty act, then sure penalise.
Common sense.
Buckley rightly pointed out in his press conference we look for the one thing the rule doesn’t cater for, the outlier.
McDonald was preparing to stand on the mark, and all the players were running forward. If the decision was correct according to the rules, then it needs changing.More than anything they really need to start thinking of applying a common sense approach.

Bit like "Melbourne weren't tanking but we fined them anyway".They’re saying the umpire got it right, but the rule will come under review at the end of the year - ie. ‘we ****** up, but won’t admit it’. Expect the umpires to pay those marks for the rest of the year.
Good point, hadn’t taken that into consideration.With the exception that Common Sense means different things to different people
For instance even among supporters on here, there is disagreement on free kicks, let alone the disagreement that exists between other club supporters, commentators, the umpires and the AFL
Consistency (even if many consider the decision incorrect) is far more important i.e. if it is going to be a wrong decision, then it is going to be wrong for both sides all day
Swooper18, my view is that a lot of people (me included) appreciate the amount of time and affort you put into your weekly post match summaries (hence your 10 likes), however a lot more (me included) would actually read the statistics and detail if you just accepted and acted on the constructive criticisms and positive suggestions for improvement. No one's having a go at you, far from it.I’m 28! I also work full time

Oohh.Still have work to do but we won the game by around the margin it really deserved considering we should have been miles in from early on.
Stephenson, Mihocek, WHE and JDG all good inside 50.
Treloar beast mode on ball.
Ran, carried and kicked longer- something he should do more of constantly rather than always look to be the inside man.
Sier- perfect introduction back to senior football.
Jeremy Howe best game for the season.
Finding touch again.
James Aish I thought was brilliant.
Overhead marking is superb and won key 1v1 duels.
Callum Brown doing some very nice things at right moments.
Sidebottom super.
Luke Ball disproves your theory. Made all the difference.
And Jolly perhaps. Either way, after looking back through the stats, the only real significant clearance losses we've had were against Essendon and Melbourne on the weekend, so not as bad as I thought. We're a good post stoppage contested ball side though, so we can get away with it at times.
I think they'll pay the mark if the marker has both fee off the ground and is actually jumping for the ball. If one foot is planted and the other just kicks out to fend off a player that's when the Greene-rule comes in.They’re saying the umpire got it right, but the rule will come under review at the end of the year - ie. ‘we ****** up, but won’t admit it’.
