The diving thread

[Danger!Selwood]

And Duncan's a fool who let himself be baited and let his side down. Which one do you think will be regretting the incident this weekend ?

As I said before, Geelong can ill afford to be losing players to suspension coming into finals. Normally they should have Richmond's number but the sheer number of outs will be a real challenge this weekend. It's not just a regular match either, this one's shaping up to determine who can take one of the coveted top two spots. If Geelong can't get players back on the park (and I mean fully fit players) there's a real question mark as to whether they can even hold onto the top four. That'd be a real pity as Geelong at their best are capable of beating anyone. If I was Scott I'd be telling the players to keep very firmly on the right side of the line.

Looking forward to Danger v Martin this weekend but Paddy's going to be asked a lot without the support of his captain. Good luck with this one. I hope you can scrag a win against the odds.

No doubt it was silly by Duncan, but to suggest Papley gets under their skin any differently than Ballantyne is absolute crap.

Feels a hand, takes a dive only to find it was the ump. Classic.

Or he trips on the umps legs..

 

[flashcrow]

Please tell fleshcrow that the goal umpire pushed the player in the back

That's what makes is sooo funny, and embarrassing for Geelong

This season I reckon Phil Davis has fallen over pretty easily for a big bloke. Can play though

His penchant for flopping like a dead fish at very marginal contact is something that the wider football community will eventually self-manage and call him out on. He's a terrific player who doesn't need to resort to this - some commentators have already started to call him out so hopefully he stops this crap as his reputation will be trashed if he continues.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Yeah add Phil Davis to the list of people who are happy to flop to get another player suspended. Never trust a guy with a man bun.

Surely the panel sen it. If the Greene report wasn’t making headlines people would be going nuts

I just hope sometime in the finals Davis and Papley make contact with each other. It will look like a re-enactment of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Hodge?

nah, Lindsay Thomas

 

[jack son 5]

Trips over? Yeah sure.

Starting to get sick of Geelong players pulling this rubbish. J.selwood is an absolute disgrace to the game.

No doubt about Oliver and Vince from Melbourne, but why Bugg?
Vince is getting pretty bad, especially this year. I don't recall him playing like that at Adelaide.

.

Bugg's effort against Easton Wood this year was pretty bad. Got his team a double goal too

 

[Mattdougie]

Phil Davis is the new Lindsey Thomas

How many dives has he had this year now? 6-7?

Embarrassing for a captain to be that weak and try to milk frees and suspensions.

Don't recall any staging, diving or ducking? I remember the so brave bulldogs players coming out and targeting certain Melbourne players. I also recall it didn't work out so well for your boys that day.

Melbourne kicked a goal and bugg bumped wood. Wood hit back and bugg went down cheaply, sucked the ump in.

Clayton Oliver and Bernie Vince say hi

A blight on the game those two, should be tossed from the competition.

 

[freo1]

Wonder how Davis feels right now with Redpath getting 3 for his little bit of school girl acting
