The diving thread

[Blueboys11]

Not laughable at all. SPS is a disgrace and his actions we pathetic. He's a diver, simple as that.

Pathetic from the young fella.

Threw the arm, ball was dead, lucky he got throat not face. Ask Houli how that turned out. Just don't do it, you don't give away free kicks. Pretty simple really.

 

[BlueDay]

Yeah absolutely agree. He always does it and sometimes it irks a few of my fellow Lions mates that he has to resort to it as he's a god damn good footballer without having to do it. And now he's developed a reputation that will forever shadow his career. Hopefully he can reduce some of it as he gets older.

He is a ducker. That is what he will be remembered for, if anything.

Got a view on Oliver you would like the share?

MRP made the call he was hit in the body not throat.

It was a dive, plain as day.

 

[Neese]

Oliver then brushed a tag for the second half over in Perth and won his side the game.
How'd Sam fair?

2 goals, rat tail flowing behind

corner but plaits have been out of the game for fifteen years or so... sad but memories are tide up in threesomes...

SPS the new diving queen.

 

[Freo Dr]

Sicily is a well known diver but I reckon he and Toby Greene take it to a whole new level by also dummy spitting whenever a decision doesn't go his way. Has to be the biggest tool in the AFL. Exhibit A his reaction and spray to the umpire, teammate Duryea, his captain and anyone else around about not getting a free after the ball hit him in the face...

 

[Leeda]

I'm trying to chew up the potential and tell everyone to grow up but they are all sitting numb...

can't they take a joke?

how do you know this? they are future captains and I am terrified of turning them off the work load for the future.

Show some love for the new diving King, SPS.

Is it mandatory for Carlton fans to troll posters and players of the opposition club they lost to on the weekend in almost every thread?

They've had a lot of practice at it

 

[Topkent]

I knew it would be predictable but I still can't believe it. They were getting into Oliver for his dive all game and after on the boards and then the second one of their players does it it was a 'karate chop to the throat'

Gutless to call someone a diver then do a complete 180 when the tables are turned. Pathetic

Dived.

You've replied to the same comment of mine twice.
Reckon the Oliver one has been done to death and he copped his whack at the time for what I said at the time was a shit dive.
Now it's your turn so instead of standing up for your player, put him away for the weak act he did like everyone did Oliver.

...went on to lose by 30 to the bottom side on the ladder .
Just stop.

 

[jdz101]

Steve Johnson's flop after rance gave him a basic shove is underrated. Caused Toby Greene to remonstrate and get himself suspended.

Probably flop of the round for mine.

Oliver is also a much better player.

 

[Love the Drake]

No no no. You've got it back the front. SPS is/will be a much better player (he is in his first year). Oliver is a much better diver (held his mouth, stayed on the ground that long, police were looking for the shooter on the grassy knoll).

Is or will be? Which one is it? I'll make a bet with you: Oliver will finish above SPS on every single award for the year, by a comfortable margin. Want to take me up on it?

I get it, you want to stick up for your guy, but if you measure Oliver by the fact that you didn't like a dive he took one day against West Coast, you're not even interested in football. Have you even seen Oliver play?

 

[Topkent]

Waste of time talking to you. If you close an eye you'll be blind. Olivers first year was better than SPS and will be for every other year. Only thing they have in common is diving.
