Round 6 - the other games

[zippadeee]

5 goals to 4 at half time. Those new rules are making a huge difference hey SHocking?

Hocking is thinking about another *smile* rule that wont make a single difference.
The worse rule is the full back can run the full 50 arc without bouncing it.
That's made a huge difference in scoring. NOT.

 

[zippadeee]

Agree. Giants have defended well. Dogs can't get there handball game going.

Throwing Game going

 

[Mycotchinrules]

GWS got 4 free kicks in a half.
Bontempelli got 3

All 50-50, the exact ones we NEVER get.

 

[Ridley]

Even fox footy are complaining about the free kick against Greene.
What about the other 8.
Footscary have invented the new one. Hold the ball and then collapse forward and get in the back.
OGorman is umpiring

The worst one was the non decision when Bruin was held and dragged down without the ball. Second worst the soft free paid to Naughton for I’m not sure what 10 seconds later.

Between their illegal disposals and armchair ride from umpires they might as just put 5 goals on the scoreboard for the Dogs before the game starts.

What irks me the most is a tackle rolls so that the ball is on the far side to the controlling umpire and us (and GWS tonight) get pinged for incorrect disposal and most other teams, play on.

We kicked 13 goals against them last year in the shorter version

And they’ve all been sacked since?

GWS copping a Richmond like reaming from the umpires

 

[tigertim]

Talk of Tom Green coming to Richmond. Will some one who saw him pre drafting provide an opinion because to my eyes he looks slow and uncoordinated.

Yeah, I don’t see it either. Watched his brother Josh last night and he’s a terrible lumberer.

 

[tigertim]

Geez that sucks for Lin Jong. Tough game.

Yeah, that’ll just about be his career over I reckon.

A reimagining of one of Collingwood’s previous hits, ‘Drop the ball as soon as your tackled and flap your arms in the air like you’re being held’.

 

[Redford]

Yeah, I don’t see it either. Watched his brother Josh last night and he’s a terrible lumberer.

Me too. Josh is shockingly slow - looks like a smaller version of McEvoy - and Tom isn’t much better.

Avoid both I think.

 

[leon]

12 possessions, barely noticed him.

Tom Mitchell #2

Saw Tom Mitchell was leading the votes in the Herald-Sun AFL award the other day. What a laugh. Sure McCrae close behind.

Such football experts.

 

[tigertim]

Me too. Josh is shockingly slow - looks like a smaller version of McEvoy - and Tom isn’t much better.

Ha, I kept watching him thinking he reminded me of someone (a ruck) but I couldn’t pick it. McEvoy was it.

 

[Harry]

What? Throw paid?

We'll slap the dogs next week

I had to look that up, wow, actually won the frees against Footscray last year 25-21. I'm stunned.

I'm not watching the game tonight but Footscray do amazingly well with the maggots, GWS tend to do badly. The free kick count surprises me not at all - why are so many games thoroughly predictable in terms of free kick counts?
