What should Callum Sinclair receive for his massive FLOP?

[Mr Meeseeks]

Yr ordinary team is irrelevant now, nobody gives a toss about them, it was simply an example from the game I was watching today

I do.

 

[Tedeski]

Was the best player on the ground last night too Callum. In more ways than one.

I would have preferred a free kick reversal to be honest. That arguably cuts deeper at the heart of the team and might deter players from doing, especially in the forward 50.

Should have been a 50 m penalty.
He took a mark and Cripps had no place to even bump him.
But he's received a fine, was BOG, was on the winning side & Carlton can keep trying to win that 3rd game in 22 matches while rebuilding.

 

[halalsnackpack]

Honestly they need to start rubbing blokes out for a week for this shit. It would stop in no time

 

[Sixpence]

Sinclair should be fined. Disgraceful. This isn't soccer.

Cripps should be fined for ruining my fantasy score this week. (Nothing for the bitch sledge though, Sinclair was a bitch)

 

[Blackas87]

I don't think I've seen a soccer player flop that bad.

 

[ZingerB]

Should be a "free hit" like a no-ball in limited-overs cricket. As in, the stellar "hardmen" in the opposition, who are too tough to ever dare "flop", should get a free swing at him, without repercussions.

I said that last night about this incident. Sicily tried it on Dixon today after going up and pushing him 1st. I think 17 AFL teams would love to see Dixon get a free swing on that one.

Meanwhile we got 9 50m penalties paid against us today, for being like 1m inside the protected zone and having zero impact on the play.

Oh it is called the protected zone when you play a protected team.

Yep, if they're really serious about stamping out staging, they need to take action against Rance's effort near the end of the third quarter. Sure there was some body contact on his side but nothing to cause the sideways dive that he then took - and that one duped the umpire.

Surely in their reviews of games, the umpires must realise there are certain players who repeatedly dupe them and learn to approach future contests with a little more scepticism. That should be the most telling punishment for players who dive - they don't always get their fair go when they are genuinely pushed in a contest.

 

[twiggy4PM]

Whatever Sinclair gets, Rance should get. Rance got a push in the side and threw himself forward in the biggest dive since the Titanic hit an iceberg.

Embarrassing to watch.

 

[Del183359]

Acting lessons?

 

[Suma Magic]

2 games.

Lucky none of these floppers were aboriginal or they might get the same hate Lindsay Thomas used to get.

I say used to get because now he also gets hated for being a sniping flog so its hard to distinguish the two reasons.

Its a bit of an insult to the debate around Goodes to say that Thomas copped hate for his race.

Maybe some arseholes took the chance to join in, but LT was a shit bloke over a number of years. Ducking, flopping and sniping. Remember his two suspensions in a row last year? Or what he did on debut for Port? Its no wonder, from the outside looking in, that the Roos are in such good shape after a cull of certain senior leaders over the past two seasons. Apologies to Boomer, who I still think deserved to play on until he was done.

 

[Tulip]

Oliver is a repeat offender and the disdain is growing

What else has he done? Upset an old Carlton supporter?

Aside from certain WCE fans, the only thing growing for Oliver is universal acclaim for being an elite midfielder in his third season after winning a B+F in his second...

 

[Suma Magic]

In all seriousness Rance and Sinclair should get a fine.

Not bad enough to get a suspension but it’s exactly the type of shit that they need to stamp out. They are embarrassing themselves.

If you want to stamp it out then suspend them.

 

[wce4premiership]

Disagree on reversals. The umpire doesn't see enough to know for sure he hasn't tripped, it will lead to mistakes.

Fine them after the game for staging.

Suspend them if there's no contact at all.

 

[Shooter#17]

Sinclair throws the biggest dive since the comm games, Alex Rance hold my beer....
Need to either reverse decisions or suspend players to stamp this shite out.

 

[J_Moore]

Sicily did the exact same thing as Sinclair yesterday (flopped after being bumped after a free kick was awarded)

Rance was worse (dived in play).

I’m sure we’ll see sanctions consistently applied.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Has an extremely punchable head, Sinclair.

if you can find it.

 

[Farang83150]

Rance, a continual offender re blatant staging, needs to be rubbed out for 1 to send a very clear message.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Speaking as a Swans fan, pretty embarrassing. A rare blot on a surprise stellar year from Sinkers.

Speaking as an Aussie Rules fan, let's all give thanks that our great game features high-enough scoring that this sort of shit almost never decides a match.

Unlike soccer. The "beautiful" game my arse. The difficulty of scoring means a successful stage may well lead to the only goal of the whole game.

 

[Vintage]

Free kick reversal if clearly seen - which this one was.

Plus $1500 fine for first offence, $2500 second, then suspend. Carry them forward over a 3 year period too, don’t clean the slate after just 1 year.

He’s in my fantasy team, so I can’t in good conscious ask for anything tougher than that, especially with the bye rounds upon us.

 

[Vintage]

A fine, and forced to undertake a mandatory 12-month short course at Sydney Drama School on Queen Street at his own expense.

He’ll be the one teaching I assume?
