Brisbane running over Richmond with a ride on mower.

What’s making it more ugly is Brisbane are kicking straight for once.

The Rankine thing makes me wonder why players take their first bounce so early on a break, run your full measure or close to it before you take a bounce, he'd have been fine if he did this.

What you’re saying makes sense but footballers have always done what he did for as long as I can remember.
They bounce it two or 3 times and run 10 meters.
Never could work out why.

The running too far rule is the worst officiated rule in the game and that's a fiercely competitive category.

Next time you see a short kick that gets paid a mark, consider what would've happened if a player ran that same distance. Theoretically, they should be pinged for running too far as it's the same distance. But they never are unless they run 20 metres minimum.

The kick outs are comical for this. Players regularly run from the edge of the square to half way down the 50 which is theoretically 15 metres. But it's never paid.

It's kind of infuriating to sit there and contrast what gets paid a mark v how far players can run.

I just got home and saw this afternoon's scores. Enjoyed a nice afternoon at the bubbles festival at the wine centre followed by tapas. Appears I had a far more entertaining afternoon not watching the footy.

About as comical as the handballs.
It should be a closed fist but I haven’t seen that for donkeys years.

You should check out the last two minutes of the Crows game, it’s soooo excellent!

Easy kill for the loins

If Richmond hadn't won 3 flags recently, I'd almost feel sorry for them.

Just change the rule. Make it 20 or 25 so it makes more sense. That's basically what they pay it as. 15 steps is more like 25-30m anyway.

We all love seeing players use their pace, just give them a bit more leeway. The way it's adjudicated is generally you need to do 25-30m+ before you get pinged.

Hahahaha that Rankine call is the worst call that I've ever seen in a game of football.

Just incredible, the AFL is absolutely trolling these flogs and they couldn't deserve it more.

Phillipou is on 0d in the 2nd qtr , have seen him playing on ball at least in one centre bounce as well.


Career is going to shit at the saints.

In the last 8 years Richmond have won more flags than I'll probably see in my entire life.

finally puts the Tigers on the board for a goal, after 69 disposals this match. The Tigers average 36.4 disposals per goal in 2024, which is the worst ratio in the competiton.

That good hey?

I couldn't care less if the bottom fell out for 10 years if we'd recently won three flags lol

I guess now is a good time to bottom out because when the Tassie team comes in it’s going to be slim pickings for the rest.
