Oppo Camp - Non-Eagles Discussion

Who gives a **** about finals anyway So overrated It’s all about the draft these days

To be honest, and as unpopular as it may be, my feeling towards this issue is that no resolution is possible without removing incorrect disposal entirely.

If players weren't penalised for ridding themselves of possession by any means under tackling pressure, the requirement to maintain the tackle longer and cause a potential slinging action in order to gain favour of an umpiring decision evaporates.


It would also have the following knock-on effects:

• player safety improved
• holding the ball becomes suddenly becomes a much easier rule to adjudge
• stoppages are much quicker to reset, leading to less congestion
• inside to outside transfer of possession becomes more likely, causing play to become faster and more open
• increased open play ends up with more one-on-one contests, which allows the elite players of the competition greater opportunity to display the full range of their skills

It's blasphemy, but gameplay, umpiring and player care would all be improved.


Besides, the interpretation of what constitutes a handball now is becoming increasingly blurred anyway - look no further than what Liberatore and Oliver get away with in each game they play.

I think if you get rid of the "made an attempt" part of it you simplify it further.

Did he dispose of the ball legally yes/no.
If no, holding the ball.

Great effort from Powell-Pepper to shove Guthrìe away and kick that goal. But remember when he tried to pull that shit on Ginbey and got done HTB? Man I can't wait to see our split-pick king bully everyone in a few years time.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Narkle against the team that didn't want him...

 

[DanWCE]

Not much stopping Port so far. This is a record win streak for them I think. You hate to see it

They'll choke in finals like they always do.

Who's he bullying tomorrow? Though tbf we've had such a weird injury run I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in a bar fight.

Surprised it wasn’t a 2 week suspension for a dangerous tackle

Only hate it because we have their picks. I don’t have the same animosity against Port that most do. Like to laugh at their failures but they’re relatively likeable at the moment

Kids gonna be such a unit in a few years. Reckon him and Hewett once they mature will have have the power/strength and agility that Yeo will have. Hoping they get as good as Prime Yeo was

 

[Wettoaster]

Good luck to Narkle, thought he had a good game, spoke well post game too.

I'm always invested in my Willie, but aside from that I don't really like Port much. Had some epic wins over them, been boned at the trade table a couple of times.. Crows are my second team this year, and I don't even know at least half their players

Port/Hinkley following a known formula to win the premiership - draft/trade a Riolli and win the premiership the following year

Don't forget the premiership year contract extension in August, when Port are set to review

He arrived to a club in crisis, but Simpson has set the stage to eclipse Malthouse and Worsfold

Adam Simpson's contract extension to 2022 shows the West Coast Eagles' confidence in their coach ahead of one of his best chances of bringing home a flag, writes Clint Thomas.

Yes.

We are going to prove that the converse of that theory is also true - Trade a Riolli and finish bottom the following year.

So Danger has a collapsed lung and cracked ribs.
Not sure how long he's out but it's a huge blow for Geelong.

They have a good 3 or 4 weeks from memory but have a tough finish.

Despite Barrett blowing smoke out of their clacker in today's Sliding Doors, I don't think they will make finals.

Wonder if both grand finalists have missed finals the next year before.

Last happened in 1963, after the 1962 GF of Ess v Carl.

So only happened back when the league was an amateur Vic-centric competition. Oh wait.....

 

[Tugga27]

Only 36 000 at Adelaide oval last night.
Second on the ladder and had won 10 in a row.

I'm glad our crowds are dropping off.........

LoL I was thinking how much of a soft **** he was being after a fairly regulation collision in a marking contest.
