Predict Brad's presser

[hilly]

He does dive, but it stands out because he is:

• Aboriginal
• Plays for North
• Good

 

[hilly]

He was asked a direct ******* question, there's no comment on Christensen because noone asks the question.

Then BS should have put his criticism in context.

I think there's a difference between diving and over exaggerating contact which Lindsay does from time to time. I wish he wouldn't because he doesn't have to resort to that type of thing. He is quality player that can kick goals on his own merits.

Imagine a final, NM are behind by five points. There is a quick clearance and the ball heads down to Thomas ( who is then 25 metres out) and Thomas appears to be taken high. Play on is waved and the defence takes the ball out for a rebound goal.

That is the direct ramification of Thomas diving\exaggerating contact. It will rebound on NM without question.

No that's umpire incompetence. Don't put umpires mistakes on Lindsay's shoulders.

Lindsay sadly has been tagged as a diver. With that tag will come a loss of free kicks.

Which still comes back to umpires incompetence.

 

[Muscles Thommo]

The ruthless part relates to how he eats a salad sandwich.

Absolutely demolishes it apparently. Expect a bit on the Pirates soon....

 

[King Corey]

I don't agree with Lindsay sometimes playing for frees.

BUT

I do disagree with Brad choosing to depart from his usual modus operandi and publicly commenting on an incredibly passionate player who is doing something silly as least in the name of getting a kick and winning a game.

Rather than publicly commenting on Basti or Dal for physically shirking contests or Drew for shanking straightforward shots under pressure, Brad chose to expand his answer on one of our very few matchwinning, heart on sleeve players when a private chat would've sufficed.

Odd decision.

Do you blame him? It seems you can do anything to Lindsay and he is fair game. Kelly pushed his head into the turf and the umpire said nothing in it. If he has to stage for them to see the bleeding obvious then you can hardly blame him, because when he doesn't they don't give him anything.

If the umpires are professional they should pay what they see, not make decisions based on the player being infringed.

He is judged on a preconceived bias.

A reverse Ablett if you will.

And will be until he's cleaned up his act. His diving hurts NM not just him.

Doesn't matter if he stops completely.

Once he received the label, he will be labelled forever.

Just like Boomer.

It does. It may not help this year but next year it may.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

People still think Boomer is selfish.

People are sheep. No one is going to step out of line and say Thomas has stopped his 'simulating' ways for fear of being ostracised.

 

[Wild Bill]

Thats easy. We weren't hard enough, we made too many mistakes and we made some really dumb decisions on the field that hurt us.

No shit sherlock, you made some really dumb decisions too bringing MUllet in for the 2nd time and done nothing. Blood some ******* new players for christ sake you dumb shit.

I would hate to be the dumb one of indentical twins but he's the dumbest coach I have come across.

Sack the dumbest coach ever?

 

[GarnerSmash]

Clogging up the board.

[shinboner spiggs]

Stop littering the board with bumped threads wild bill. You've made your point.
