Just wondering how many of the players who played on Saturday ( if any?) went to Shanghai?
Would playing Summerton have been the best thing for our AFL side?
young, howard definitely maybe AJ too? not sure
Yep AJ went over too.
cool wasn't sure but thought he did. he definitely played on saturday hard to miss that mark in the 2nd
SANFL have got a lot of rules to think about.I tried to research that question about the Stewart report and whether a 50-metre penalty should have been awarded. The SANFL website was no help(what a surprise!) with no info on the rules used in that league. However, the rules used in the AFL a 50-metre penalty is only given after a free or mark is awarded, not when a report is made in general play. I take this to mean that had Snelling marked the ball and hen been met late resulting in a report then a 50-metre penalty would have been awarded.
The Eagles game showed that the SANFL may have to re-think the 25-metre penalty. Although 50 metres is a harsh penalty for small indiscretions there was no doubt that the Eagles were using the 25-metre penalty to slow up play.
On your last sentence, yes they did. They took a physical approach to the game and we crumbled a bit. Fair enough to them though they knew we were young and lacking in leadership so they got away with it.Before we think whether Stewart nailed Snelling unfairly my view from the cheersquad admittedly a fair way away was this
Marshall had the ball (mark?) and Snelling was calling for it quickly coz he was free (20m? away).
Marshall umm'd and argh'd before popping a lazy little high'ish short pass that was NOT to Snellings advantage.
This gave Stewart time to impact the contest (he was really motoring). BANG and the crowd were soon hushed when it was obvious
Will was hurt. The bottom line it was a kick i'd hope Todd will learn from because the incident should never have come about in the first place.
Call me one-eyed but imo the Eagles were out to impose a physical presence from the outset.
Exactly. Snelling was open as he was running with the flight but that dickhead took his eyes if the ball and took him out.He flattened him. It was cowardly. It was right in front of me and to even mention Marshall's kick is ridiculous.
Nah, Marshall's kick was a perfect 'hospital ball'.He flattened him. It was cowardly. It was right in front of me and to even mention Marshall's kick is ridiculous.
SANFL have got a lot of rules to think about.
The last touch out of bounds rule is terrible. I like the no 3rd man up rule the AFL has too. It helps rucks get in the game a bit more.
Also us being able to play our bloody captain should be allowed.
It works well in the sanfl. Everyone knows the rules, it's very simple to call for the umps as well.I'm honestly at the point where I want the last touch out of bounds rule in the AFL. Deliberate is so ****** these days that they may as well go the whole way with it. At least it wouldn't be a lottery requiring umpires to be mind-readers like it is now.
ok each to their own. If Todd had kicked a very short pass to Will's right then non event.to even mention Marshall's kick is ridiculous.
I've wondered the same and diplomatically couched it in terms of self belief. In the Todd Marshall thread there is a link to the DeniliquinNah, Marshall's kick was a perfect 'hospital ball'.
Off topic but Marshall needs to lose his 'I'm so cool' persona. Saw him warming up pre game - kick to kick with a teammate ... he fumbled and scrubbed some kicks with a ''whatever" attitude. It wasn't a good look.
The kid has the talent, I hope he doesn't waste it.
No I agree with you both. But there were two issues ... 1] Snelling being pole-axed by the oppo, and 2] Marshal's kick. You cant blame Marshall for the bad "tackle" on Snelling, the umpire should have dealt with that. But Marshall also needs to learn that hospital passes are a no-no. They create a contest, possible turn-overs, and at worst, potential serious injury. He will learn.Yes, let's use that as an excuse. Marshall kicked a hospital ball so Snelling should have expected contact/high contact/ to be flattened. Heard it all. Blimey
