The diving thread

[Milanista28]

Lol. We get it lads. Geelong is the only team in the comp that throws the ball and gets soft frees. You lot have nailed it. Keep it up!

No, Other teams get these frees as well it's just that your team openly encourages this sort if behavior, Your captain leads by example. Definitely looks coached to me.

 

[Danger!Selwood]

I don't respect weak bastards who who should be in the olympics for diving.

Like who hero?

 

[romeohwho]

now apparently Geelong are the only team that dive and flop too.

Yep. That is true. And only team that gets free kicks in front of goal.
We sure are a blight on the game. And loving it.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Like who hero?

hero #14

 

[bumsonseats]

Not surprising that they average 20.4 free kicks a game.

Half of those are paid to Selwood on a quid pro quo basis

 

[JackFlash]

The sudden realisation that your club isn't good enough isn't getting you misty?

I realised the Crows were not good enough six weeks ago, i still haven't changed my mind. Neither team will play off in this year's Grand Final on that form tonight.

It's been an ongoing thing for years, especially since Scott took over, and it comes from the top down. When your very coach and your captain are umpiring sooks, it seeps into the culture. Most of the players start doing it. Diving, ducking, sooking to umps for frees, whining like a school kid when a free doesn't go your way.
Danger wasn't like that at the crows. Now, all of a sudden, magically he is.
Duckwood is the most free kicked player in history.
And the umps fall all over themselves paying them frees, often right in front of goal.
It's a farce.

lol just like the Hawks follow the little angry mans and courageous Hodge's lead with the thuggery hey?

Weak? Lol.

You'd shit your pants if he looked at you sideways

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Only at Simond Stadium.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Weak? Lol.

You'd shit your pants if he looked at you sideways

He'd fall down and expect a kick. Beyond that, pfft!

Like who hero?

The two flogs in your username.

Please do try and keep up.

If you honestly think they are weak then you're dumber than you sound.

Lol so so salty. I agree Geelong won't be in the GF though. Rely too much on danger and the umps.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Weak? Lol.

You'd shit your pants if he looked at you sideways

I'd give him 2 dollars as I walked past him flat out on Malop street.

 

[yeahmate]

Id rather my

lol just like the Hawks follow the little angry mans and courageous Hodge's lead with the thuggery hey?

Id rather my team be known for thuggery than diving and sooking though

 

[Jimmy_H]

Do they practise this at training? Not trying to be a troll or anything.

 

[Fastback]

Haha, richest statement ever from a Hawks fan.
Never seen a louder, more fair-weather supporter base in any sport.

Look harder...and closer.

 

[Chris Pelchen]

I hope this thread isn't locked.
It's a real issue in the game, and Geelong are the biggest proponents of the dive at the moment.
The AFL need to do something, Geelong are ruining the viewing pleasure of neutral spectators.

Lol. About time people finally caught up. Chappy bartel stevie j enright selwood. The diving has been going on for 10 years. Its been coached into them as admitted by the scott bros.

 

[bumsonseats]

Lol so so salty. I agree Geelong won't be in the GF though. Rely too much on danger and the umps.

Your arrogance bewilders me......you have won nothing mate.

 

[giggler99]

Yep. That is true. And only team that gets free kicks in front of goal.

I wander what we will be the only team to do next week? mmm... lets see.. tunneling, chickenwing tackles, Shirt fronts..

 

[Danger!Selwood]

Lol so so salty. I agree Geelong won't be in the GF though. Rely too much on danger and the umps.

Haha, you're funny. 6 weeks ago we beat you by the same amount. A lot can happen in 6 more weeks. Don't think we can play much worse.

Umpires were shit, you had the rub for the first half and us for the second, whole thing was over umpired to be honest

Ooh yep, you might go on to something there. Nothing gets by you.
