Round 13 "Ross is in Vegas Games"

*smile* poor from May to give it to Gawn on the ground straight after the siren. Just a really poor look.

You do that off the ground and away from the cameras.

Listening to the last from the car. Had his moments good and bad in the last.

With my 12 year old. Leant a new term when he told me the commentators were and always “glaze” Daicos. I ask am I right in what you’re suggesting? He said with a smile - yep.
 
Bit unclear on what Gawn said, but looks like May told him he shouldn't have played on not realising he was told to play on.

Gawn should have just said to him, we had 30 seconds dickwad, we didn't have time to dawdle around kicking in the backline like you do.

The thing is he had to play on. There was only 40 seconds remaining. They had to move that ball lightning speed. It was just a poor execution across goals.

Exactly, the only kick that gave them a chance was a long kick into the corridor which he went for. The decision making was right, the execution was poor.

As I said in another post, only poor culture killers lament someone for skill errors. Coaches train players to take the right option and expect skill errors at times, but if the right option is taken they won't bash them over it. Shows what May's really like, went after the skill error instead of the multitude of decision making errors that had Melbourne behind with 30 seconds to go.

‘NOT UNREASONABLE’: CAT CLEARED OVER BUMP

Geelong’s All-Australian defender Tom Stewart has been cleared to take on Essendon under MRO guidelines that allow bumps within 5m of the ball.

Stewart crashed into Gold Coast captain Noah Anderson late in Saturday night’s win over the Suns.

The clash drew the attention of the MRO given he ran past the ball to collide with Anderson, who the Suns said had been “cleared of any major concerns”.

It is not known whether that includes all rib damage, but coach Damien Hardwick said Anderson was not concussed in the incident.

If Stewart had gone past the ball to bump Anderson and caused head-high damage, he would have been responsible for the contact.

But there are three factors at play when MRO boss Michael Christian considers if a bump within 5m is legal – whether the player who received the bump was in a vulnerable position, whether he could have expected the contact, and whether the contact was unreasonable in the circumstances.

Stewart’s actions were risky given the possibility of high contact, but because of the lack of any injury to Anderson’s head, the Cats star has been cleared to take on the Bombers.

“It was the view of the MRO that Stewart’s actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances and did not constitute a reportable offence,” the MRO said on Sunday night.

Cats coach Chris Scott said it was a classic hip and shoulder to the body.

“The AFL has done a really good job over the years of shifting the zeitgeist around the way you should approach contests like that,” he said.

“Anyone that understands the modern game would be really impressed with the way he (Stewart) approached that contact – the early decision to come forward (at) full speed, looking to win the ball first.

“Then, when you can’t win the ball, and this is the part the AFL has been really clear with … you have a duty of care to the oncoming player. If contact is unavoidable, you need to be very, very careful.”

Contact was avoidable, he bypassed the ball!

Boy, the Dees got hosed by umpires today. Close game, the umpires made the difference.

Thank God for a decent game, horrible short bye weekend.

First time ever, I think the game is in trouble, the actual standard of football. Between the standard and the umpiring the spectacle is dimmed. Along with unintelligent 24/7 media circles, find myself de investing. First time ever.

Why wasn't a 50 paid.
The Collingwood didn't move outside the area after Gawn marked the ball.
The umpire immediately called play on,
Why???

Without May they get done by ten goals. Watch the game Tiny Tim.

Never said he didn't play well. Read what I wrote.

Only a flog like May would think he's entitled to berate Gawn on the field straight after the siren, he's a horrible person.

Yep. I was thinking today I need a half year break from the game.

Endless, rubbish chipping around sideways and backwards, maintain uncontested control. Forwards that couldn't kick a goal from 20m dead in front to save themselves. Umpires paying "nothing" frees galore because for all intents and purposes they don't have much to umpire now, and then giving them to their favourites. Sycophantic and biased media telling lies. Shock jocks like Corne, McClure etc making stuff up.

It's a glorified game of basketball, just on a bigger field with more players, and a corrupt officialdom controlling the media around it all.

And then there 's Gerard Healy....

Who cares in that instant and the one in the third he was right. Flog or no flog Tiny Tim he was right and it has nothing to do with whether he’s a good bloke or a *smile* bloke. You’re getting personal here and missing the point.

You're the one getting personal with the childish Tiny Tim label. Do better.
