    Was Didak kicked/tripped?

    Sorry for replying to an old post, but that's hilarious. Wojcinski should be in jail, if his contact to the shin was hard enough to result in a corked thigh. His thigh is the top part of his leg, in case you weren't aware. :D

    I just don't get it

    Gaz had a great game early, not many sustain that level of possession and effectiveness for a full game, or we'd be racking up 40-50 disposal games week in, week out. I rate him higher than Judd, as his ball use is generally far better, but to use commentator speak, he was Judd-like in his...

    How to tackle Joel Selwood

    The first one clearly demonstrates that unless you're a rock-ape, you have to bend down to pick up the ball. What no-one wants to point out, because its contrary to the argument, is that while its hard to "crab" at pace (which he would have had to do, some style of sideways shuffle to not...

    Was Didak kicked/tripped?

    From memory, ball was loose and wojo tried to kick at it on the ground, caught Didak. Definitely not a tripping motion.

    News Milburn plays on at Geelong

    For me, its not about selections and whether the club will pick on form, or past performance - the contribution from Milburn next year is unlikely to influence whether or not we win a flag........possibly more risk of being exposed and costing us a game than winning one. Have a lot of time for...

    MRP / Trib. Podsiadly accepts two match suspension and Hunt one with early pleas

    Still think Pods is the unluckiest man in AFL.....no-one could have been expecting Bryce Gibbs to put his head over the footy!!

    Harry Taylor

    Its a Harry Taylor discussion, not Nick Maxwell. Easy to see how you made the mistake though.

    Can anybody make any sense of the latest umpiring edict?

    Would have thought the ball isn't in play at that point, so incorrect disposal can't apply?

    Happy Days - Everyone Now Gets Two Or Three Steps

    Wasn't it only a few weeks ago Eddie Betts was getting free kicks for lurking behind the guy who'd gone back over his mark to take his kick, then when the umpire deemed he'd taken enough time, called play on. No chance to take two or three steps before Eddie had you, and no reasonable...

    Sam Fisher

    At the time, it looked like it could have been a dislocation, so while being helped off the ground its definitely a poor act. Apparently its okay though, so we better start thinking about how we can protect someone who's getting stretchered off the ground in a future game - apparently its only...

    Roast Goodbye Ryan Gamble

    Re: Ryan Gamble, goodbye Yep, a guy who hasn't been able to establish a position in the side, and when he gets another opportunity can't even do the absolute basics is a terrible outcome. Happened a couple of times, where he thought the St Kilda player was going to kick so he stopped...

    We are still the best

    Wojak slaughtered a couple of kicks right at the death, but was brilliant today and repeatedly the only person giving any run. Shave the guys head and rename him to C Judd and he'd be getting massive wraps!! (also shanks the odd kick) Hard to read too much into the game, don't see the Cats...

    What if Geelong was caught cheating?

    Can't say for sure that Manly or Parra don't have their own issues, perhaps? But more importantly, they didn't win. Take the Storm out, and who's the say the team they knocked out the week before wouldn't have rolled Manly or Parra? Why should the team that got rolled a week earlier get...

    Is Steve Johnson soft?

    Not necessarily soft, but gets too distracted by the free kick rather than playing till the whistle. Umps seem to be rightly aware of it now, so he needs to break the habit, as he's good enough to beat most guys with the ball on the ground, if he focuses on sticking with the ball. Byrnes...

    Vic COLES DIY check out systems. Loop hole!

    Hardly a loophole. Why not post "if you stuff your coat with stuff and walk out, it costs you nothing", or "go to a caryard, and while you're mate distracts the salesman you can take keys from the keyboard and drive out with a new car for free - loophole!".

    MRP / Trib. Milburn's bump and Johnson's trip

    Slow motion actually showed that contact was shoulder to shoulder, and it was a headclash that caused the damage......shouldn't have been a risk, but tv do like to replay it enough times to try to make it an issue. Clear difference on Buddy & Mooney, although both potentially unlucky, the...

    Free! The Footy Record Grand Final Edition <= Winners Announced

    Re: Free! The Footy Record Grand Final Edition Joel Bowden May he look forwards and make progress in his life after football, unlike his use of the ball over the last 10 years.

    Browny "We're not going to forget what Matty Lloyd did in a hurry and we hope he plays on next year"

    Re: Browny "We're not going to forget what Matty Lloyd did in a hurry and we hope he plays on next y Correct. If you want to square up, far smarter to do it today and miss a few rounds at the start of next year. What if Hawthorn Essendon don't meet till round 20 (could happen the way the...

    I don't know what we're all yelling about thread

    I'll add in two more. Our "kick-a-cat" Shannon Byrnes, gave very little and does everything he can to avoid physical contact. Can we put him in the ring with Max Rooke to toughen him up? Whenever he had to chase out of the forward line, if someone was in place to lay a shepherd he stopped...

    Robert Walls' Bagging Of Djerrkura Tonight

    To be fair, despite Brown dominating I can still definitely say he was WELL HELD by Lonergan, as on the few occasions he was actually near him for a contest, he was holding on everytime. Absolutely spanked. Yes there was holding each way this time, but we can't get upset about Brown getting...

    Well done Saints but..

    Pretty sure the ball was still live when contact was made, so its the goal if he'd kicked it, or another shot.

    Bomber's contingency plans.

    Exactly. Ling is the tagger, you'd find they'd make the switch quite quickly to free up their midfielder - they won't let him sit in the forwardline unopposed, but it would be pretty poor coaching to have your main midfielder sit at fullback for 20 minutes.

    Bartel should be given back the game he missed!

    True, have edited and maintain he should be given back his carryover points. MRP is a lottery, I just don't accept that's how it should be.:confused:

    Holding the ball

    If you watch enough footy (at any level), you'll see pretty quickly why its not an option for the tackler to grab hold of the jumper of the player on the ground, while sticking his other hand in the air and appealing to the umpire. With no pressure/restriction on his body/arms/the ball, he can...

    Bartel should be given back the game he missed!

    Bartel should be given back the carryover points! I can't understand how Bartel was guilty of tripping because he didn't meet his "duty of care" to move his leg out of the way and clear a path for a player, but Nicoski didn't get rubbed out for tripping Ablett. While I can't say it was...

    Stokes one week, Bartel reprimand

    Pettas, I don't know if Nathan's efforts in the flip, or your efforts in posting that link 2 minutes after my message, are the more impressive, but both get two thumbs up!

    Wallace to Morton - 'YOU COST ME MY JOB'

    If you watched the game to understand "full context", you'd also have seen Morton kick an absolute ripper from the boundary line to put them in a position where they were a chance to win.' You can't kill a bloke for one possession, and ignore the brilliance earlier. He stuffed up, but...
