AFL Toast RND 21: Defeated The Dogs

[TheFrenchCut]

Those last 2 free kicks to Bont were rubbish by the way.

But on the plus side good to have confirmation we should all load up on him for the brownlow.

 

[DERO]

Ball was "Knocked out in the tackle."

And one arm tackles like that are "dangerous."

You think the umpires make the rules?

They were bullshit freekicks created by an organisation justifying jobs for boys.

Carn man

You asked

Te the umps……that was absolutely going to be HTB against Cox when he got caught after taking a bounce but I swear the ump blew the Whistler before he’d even been tackled! Could not wait to call it!

Typically you're given the opportunity to dispose of the ball. No idea what the hell that was

I could be wrong, but it seemed like he bounced between two attempted tackles.

Is an attempted tackle a tackle?

If they have a fingernail on you when you bounce it's HTB.

Modern football at it's finest

bit of a weird performance in that none of the stars had games that would be even in their top 5 this season, and some guys like Hind and Ridley were even disappointing today. in addition to Wright and Francis, Cutler, Clarke & Snelling were the surprising ones to me

Te the umps……that was absolutely going to be HTB against Cox when he got caught after taking a bounce but I swear the ump blew the Whistler before he’d even been tackled! Could not wait to call it!

It's an automatic free-kick the moment you're caught bouncing the ball as it's the rare occasion that a player is literally dropping the ball. The tackle happened before the whistle. Why Cox took a bounce is beyond me

And since I've dragged myself into it. First Bont free-kick was correct, no prior opportunity and then ball knocked out of the tackle, initially I thought Shiel was unlucky as I thought he had no way of knowing the ball was gone, but he knocked it out of Bont's arms, so. Second Bont free-kick also correct, ended up a being a sling tackle and Bont's head hit the ground. Historically umpires have been very lax in calling these tackles, to the point that we've seen it paid as HTB and then the player gets suspended 2 days later, so Redmond is a bit unlucky, but it was there.

God I already regret that. I'm leaving for the Dylan Clarke thread

Much rather a win like that over a higher draft pick. This belief will do far more for the young group

 

[citizen-erased]

Sorry but all you limp dik big girls blouses that thought we'd lose by 20 goals shame on you. Call yourself supporters. We were huge last week. That was epic ✔✔✔✔

sometimes its nice to lie to yourself, but hope for the best
i wasn't even gonna watch today. not sure what possessed me to put it on.

Seems it worked.

That was a good forward line performance.

Oh, and that was minus Heppell & McGrath plus couple of handy kids in Perkins & Jones.

also, if you want to console yourself, imagine how Carlton fans are taking this.

Great win.

Last 2 Bont kicks, blaming the umpire is a waste of energy. Source of anyone's frustration is the AFL.

The inconsistency of the umpires is a frustration as well as the AFL. The umpires are human and make mistakes obviously but they are mistakes that can cost you a game. The Bont one which resulted in a goal would be called HTB a lot of the time surely? He took on a tackler who he beat, and then dropped the ball during the 2nd tackle is the way i saw it.

 

[maskmcgee]

Just demolished the best defense in the comp.

Agreed, but you still need to get the job done, we haven't beat Richmond since bringing over a lot of their people in the last few years.

And yeah **** richmond, them and west coast can get ****ed.

 

[citizen-erased]

On the umps as well
For all those late howlers, how's the lack of feels when Clarke executed a perfect kick inside 50....to then call not 15.

Great sportsmanship from Stringer helping Bruce up from his injury well done to him

 

[silk]

Amazed AFL.com.au was able to resist the urge to go with the title "The Wright Stuff" ... Maybe a thread title for us here?

Enjoy the win lads it's been a while since we beat a top of the ladder team and the best part is we can still play so much better than today.
