What a joke the footy public are.
Seriously, anyone who doubts the idiocy and stupidity of the football public need look no further than the latest popular footy myth - Riewoldt is a diver!!
My god.
The AFL and the media must just sit back and giggle at how easily led and easily preyed upon their client base is.
Anyway, let's just do a hypothetical and say that Riewoldt is a diver and gets looked after by the umps.
Throw in the fact that Joel Selwood is a serial stager and ducker, and Paul Chapman who can't even walk down the street without diving randomnly face first into the pavement every time a bypasser gets within 3 feet of him, and his protegy Andrew Mackie who although not in the same class as Chapman - tries very hard to emulate his performances - what the hell will the game be like this week???!!!
Will the umps stop paying frees to Riewoldt because he's a diver? And stop paying frees to Chapman for his ducks and dives, and stop giving Selwood freebies for dropping his knees, and stop giving Mackie and Corey frees for their regular renditions of the old 'face first slide on the plastic with detergent on it in the backyard' trick?
Seriously, if the footy public are correct and Roo dives, Chapman, Selwood, Ablett, Corey and Mackie stage chronically - what sort of game will we get this week??
If the umps put the whistle away - who will be better off without their opponents getting 'looked after' by the umps?
