They said earlier Port have the most free kicks in their forward 50 for the season by quite a big margin, doesn’t surprise me one bit if Dixon is getting those

Yeah, the Crows board member mentioned it a couple of times.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Ah, the classic bring up the total number as an indicator.

Yeah, makes you look stupid when you say we are kissed on the dick.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Watch Port v Hawthorn. He was held all game long.

When you are physically bigger than anyone else and you're one out. Nothing else the defender can do.

Stop carrying on like Dixon is the only key forward in the comp who gets held.

 

[The 747]

This is turning into a schmacking.....

 

[PAFC_1870]

Stop carrying on like Dixon is the only key forward in the comp who gets held.

We are watching Port. We are talking about Dixon.

Obviously you know that as you are spending the whole time hoping Port loses.

Enjoy the game. I am.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

We are watching Port. We are talking about Dixon.

I'm talking about the way that contest between a key forward and a key defender gets umpired.

In a Port Gameday thread after Dixon got a free kick.

 

[mrmonkey]

Not looking great for the swannies. Hopefully they can stay competitive in the second half.

 

[Duckenthusiast]

Jokes aside, that was pretty s**t. Gotta reward the tackler. We might be getting the better end of it today, but every second week we are getting reemed by it. A couple seemed unlucky as the umpire clearly wasn't in a good position to see whether there was a handball,but that last 5minutes they just refused to pay HTB.

 

[Duckenthusiast]

Stop carrying on like Dixon is the only key forward in the comp who gets held.

He is the only one that gets consistently triple teamed. Two players wrestling is different to 1 player with 2 arms around you and a third man up taking an uncontested mark.

 

[backtozero]

HTB is so bad this year and has only gotten worse since Clarko had coffee with Gil.
Don't mind admitting that Port should've had some paid against either.

 

[RiskingHead]

Didn't realise Gameday threads are umpire b*tch fests.

That's like being at Everest base camp and saying Gee, I didn't realise there's a mountain over there

 

[HalloweenJack]

With such low scoring games this year it wouldn't surprise me if the AFL has asked the umpires to pay more free kicks in front of goal.

You see a lot of soft free kicks paid that should be called play on.

I think you are correct about the instruction to the umpires but the Dixon free has to be the softest free paid this year.

 

[PAFC_1870]

This. Every team has had good and bad from it.

The whole season htb has been a joke. No point bringing up individual cases.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Freo fans may disagree with you.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

In a Port Gameday thread after Dixon got a free kick.

Like I said, I'm talking about how that contest is umpired.

Which part of that confuses you?

 

[PAFC_1870]

You seem upset.

How about you focus on the game.

Umpire makes dodgy decision, in other news, water is wet.

For every soft one he's paid I'll list 10 he wasn't.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

He is the only one that gets consistently triple teamed. Two players wrestling is different to 1 player with 2 arms around you and a third man up taking an uncontested mark.

There's no rule against triple teaming a key forward.

Dixon is by no means the only key forward who gets manhandled by a defender while the ball is in the air. That's been happening to Josh Kennedy for the best part of a decade. Do you think it started with Dixon because he's finally become a top-liner five minutes ago?

Who cares about Kennedy in this thread?

No one is triple teaming him now. He's a lead up fwd, completely different.

5 mins ago. Lol.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Stop saying stupid things.

Stop bringing up the Eagles

 

[The 747]

Dixon getting triple teamed is something that needs to be addressed by the coaching staff.

For comparison, both Geelong and WCE put a lot of effort and tactics into trying to get either Hawkins or Kennedy one out where they can mark it. If Dixon is getting multiple players going with him it is on Port to have a bit more nous about how to exploit that, which then stops it happening.

Do you spend all day on the internet correcting people? Dixon has been mauled since he got to port. A combination of not being a lead up forward, being the main target, and our poor delivery. No s**t triple teaming is not against the rules. Did you see the part in the same sentence where I said 2 hands around him?

 

[PAFC_1870]

No denying that at all

He'd be even better well coached, but on the flipside he came here because of Hinkley so...

 

[Sweet Jesus]

I'm talking about the way that contest gets umpired. And some of you muppets seem to think a key forward being manhandled is exclusive to Dixon.

No one is triple teaming him now. He's a lead up fwd, completely different.

Who? Kennedy? Yeah, he leads. But he also plays out of the square and finds himself under high balls being manhandled by defenders.

Completely different. What a load of rubbish.

Stop saying stupid things.

5 mins ago. Lol.

This season. Five minutes ago.

How many times has he kicked 50 goals in a season?
