The Association Football AFL Thread 3.0

As soon as you become airborne like that, you should be looking at weeks off, regardless of whether the player becomes concussed. That's so bloody dangerous.

I'd like to see them classified as coward bumps too, put a negative term on taking out someone who's not ready for it.

Yep. The AFL is really soft on concussion.

 

[Bradesmaen]

You lost to a side that is better than you, in a state that you’re notoriously s**t in.

St Kilda had 9 of their best 22 out from a best 22 that didn't make the finals last year.

St Kilda had 9 of their best 22 out from a best 22 that didn't make the finals last year.

So what you are saying is you lost to an even worse St Kilda side than the one from last year?

Yes. That's the point about ******* up despite the soft draw

 

[Magma]

what is actually so wrong with mcadam's bump?

 

[RPCB]

Yes. That's the point about ******* up despite the soft draw

So it wasn’t that much of a soft Round 1 if you only consider St Kilda a bad side because they had 9 of their bets 22 out. The draw was made last year when St Kilda had a full squad.

You support Adelaide. You don’t want to know what’s wrong with McAdam’s bump.

Not a lot imv. Shoulder to chest.

The entire first few weeks. Keep up. We have Roos, Eagles, Adelaide, Gold Coast in the next four weeks. St Kilda without injuries are predicted to easily be bottom 10

he's flattened him out, so what? doesnt leave the ground, might catch him high due to the force. should he be gentler in future?

That's what's wrong with it. Seems pretty straight forward?

 

[gaskin]

Yes. The onus is now on the players to protect the opponets head. There was no need for McAdam to fly in like that. It was reckless and has not been a normal football action for 30 years.

Where in the bottom 10 would you say? That is 9th to 18th. 9th to 12th would be considered a decent team and capable of beating top 8 sides. St Kilda would likely be in that range you would think. Your next 4 fixtures fair enough, Fremantle should be heavy favourites.

i guess if he shoulders him right in the head he gets only 1 week. just be nice about it

Geez, I wouldn’t say he didn’t leave the ground. He was literally airborne, it was pretty dangerous. I think he will be lucky not to escape a ban.

Buddy? Buddy doesn't stop, prop, and then jump up into the player. That's the only reason he got off lighter, and even I think he should have got more. McAdam stops, lines Wehr up, and leaves the ground. I just saw it again On The Couch.

mcadam? he just runs through him. luckily wehr is a big boy and lives.

i dont see how mcadam leaves the ground, he might hesitate a little bit but he bowls right through him. if he'd stopped he wouldn't have hit him nearly as hard

This is the third post in a few minutes that you have made like this. May I suggest you stop watching AFL and stick to watching YouTube clips of old SANFL/AFL from the 1990’s? That seems more up your alley.

In the meantime, as I predicted…

Somewhere I'd say 12-15. We were heavy favourites for this game. We sucked. Our coach sucked. I wouldn't be surprised if we lose 2 of the next 4.

yeah it's called discussion

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

It was a crude and unacceptable bump that's worthy of a couple of weeks. The real farce is Pickett getting just 2 for a worse hit. If McAdam gets 4, than Pickett deserved at least 6. It's just a case of the AFL playing favourites again with a household name.

 

[SM]

But if you don't think he left the ground then you're either being wilfully ignorant or just don't know what you were watching. Either way it doesn't leave much to discuss.
