Round 19: the Chrysler Centura games.

It’s funny how the last desperate minutes/seconds amplify things that are otherwise subtly disguised.

OMG the Collingwood throwing that is allowed. The disguise technique went out the window through desperation.

Also highlighted was the way the Collingwood players milk frees by applying fake pressure on the guy on the ground then suddenly throw the arms out not touching the ball holder anymore appealing for the free to synthesise no effort to get rid of the ball. Looked so bad when accidentally exaggerated like that.

Now tell me some clubs don’t have inside running with the umps on how to achieve more frees than other clubs. I’m calling conspiracy!

I'm a big fan of Hayden Young, when he got subbed on 3 minutes before 3/4 time i took $6.75 on Dockers, 11 disposals and 228 metres gained, you ******* beauty !!!!!!
Young is s gun. Freo have best midfield in AFL with him back.
Serong
Young
Brayshaw
Bolton

What a quartet. And Darcy and Jackson rucking.

Will cause problems for oppo in finals.

The 50 metre penalty against the docker player for dissent just before half time has to be one of the worst umpiring decisions of the season.
Just awful umpiring
Yeh, he was not remonstarting or demonstrative, he was almost pointing it out to himself to confirm what he thought had happened. What a pathetic umpire to feel like that was dissent.

The subjectivity of this rule is ridiculous.

As a skunks smile is the MRO I doubt anything will happen to Maynard and Moore.
That was a bloody awful act by Moore. Deserves a week minimum. Defenders do it all the time but that was blatant

The Crows are the real deal.
How many magnificent kicks do they have!! And so many left footers also.

Walker, Fogarty, Dawson, Rankine, Laird, Hinge, Worrell, Curtain all kick well.

Top 4 is critical.

I'd hate to think how many Thilthorp would kick in his career if he was playing in the 90s
He's in his 5th year, TT.

I think we also have something to look forward to with our 3 big forwards. Imagine Harry, Jonty & Simmo in their 5th :cool:

A few questioned Nicks a while back but his transformation of the Cows has been impressive.
I like watching them play. Impressive brand. Be happy for them to win it as opposed to a lot of others.

Spot on Oldie. I don't mind if they win their 3rd.

He is, I understand that, but his game style just makes me think of the 90s power forwards

At times, Freo has both Darcy and Jackson in at centre bounces.

Why can't we put Balta in at times with Nank?

Especially if our key backs become Miller, Young, Gibcus, we need to invent creative ways to use Balta as a shock trooper.

Go on, tell me why this is a stupid idea.

It's not stupid at all, C. I've been suggesting it for a while; throw Balta in the middle to be our 'Crippa' - except he's just as big but faster, seriously good leap, more athletic overall - to be a burst mid. Can also break tackles and apply strongly.
It suits him because he's a " see football, get football ' type of player who struggles if he has to think too much or makes unfortunate errors. Also might take his mind off "Woe is me" mentality atm.
