Round 14 - Other Games

[AstuteTiger]

Go Dogs, beat those pesky Cats

 

[Tiger Rob]

Mate of mine is an umpire and he reckons this week a new rule has been brought in where if the head hits the ground during a tackle, it is automatically deemed dangerous and a free against.

I reckon you can put a grand on players head butting the ground by the end of the round to get a free

I also heard this on the radio tonight...apparently an AFL VIC directive? The other Scott brother’s portfolio??

2 errors by AA backman Stewart hands dogs their first goal

Jeez I hate cameron

 

[zgod]

Half the cats side must be imports.

 

[Redford]

Pissweak English. Could have filled the hole in front of Cameron but didn’t want to know about it.

My mates an umpire in the amateur leagues in Tassie, assume it’s for all leagues?

The Bulldogs have a few soft puppies on their list.

 

[tigermouseau]

Lots of throws already. None called yet.

 

[Tiger Rob]

I thought the umpire said that to Grimes last week after the Pickett tackle as well. I'm sure he said his head hit the ground, then Grimes said what are you meant to do and the umpire said well that's the rule.

That’s my recollection too TBR, I think we have a new rule.

 

[DragaTheCro]

Geez the Handbaggers love having a whinge to the umps. Menegola clearly (and stupidly) played on before the siren went and he then complains to the umps afterwards.

 

[QRtiger]

Any injuries.

 

[AstuteTiger]

What I find ridiculous (well no skin of my nose), 20% capacity (7K)), but these 7000 people are all sitting together on the wings.
Shouldn't they all be separated? I remember early this year at the G it was pretty spread out and only your group/family sitting at the end of the aisle.

Of course, stadiums can save money by keeping shut some of the grandstands by crowding everyone together but that defeats the purpose of the Gov allowing crowds in as I'm sure reduced capacity means stadiums need to spread everyone around the ground.

Duncan out for game, Henderson late out

Exactly. More about control than common sense.

 

[Redford]

Geez Flopperfield looked slow then.

 

[WildStyle]

The obvious question is how does a player execute the tackle to ensure that the tackled players head doesn't hit the ground? What could Pickett have done differently? Seems like a luck of the draw type of thing.

AFL will soon be AFLX played with 18 on the field for each team and on a normal sized oval.
