Opinion 2018 Non-Crows #4: You say Potato, I say Portato (Cont in Part 5)

[Elite Crow]

Lol Eddie Mcguire and his spoilt brat sons storming off out of their leather chairs as soon as the game ends. Proper flogs.

Bit rough to bring his kids into it, they looked embarrassed when Eddie was losing it and they would be following their dad out.

Besides you have no idea if they are spoilt.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Nice play on the Nike shoe saga in the united States of extremists.

If it bounces back in off the umpire it's play on, isn't it?

It's play on in field but around the goal line it is different. If in the opinion of the goal and the field umpire that it would have been a particular score if it had not have hit the goal umpire, then that score will stand. They actually got the call right in that instance. If the goal ump was there, it would have hit the goal post. It was correctly called a behind. This is the problem with commentators who have never bothered to read the rules of the game.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

You read like a book mate.

I bring up mcguires racism and you turn to this to defend your kinsman. Because you can't defend him openly.

Since when has Gov been captain is what Elite Crow would have been going wtf...

 

[Crowked]

The AFL need to outlaw deliberately using your studs to collect an opposition player. No issue using a knee or other part of your body, but a serious injury can come about from studs. I don't care if it has been legal up until now, as the game has changed with a duty of care... & it's a bad look which we need to bring to an end.

Absolutely. This is going to end with someone losing an eye. Dahlhaus was close, and something should have been done then.
The one yesterday should have been a free kick against anyway IMO. There were 2 distinct actions. Kicked the player, then took the mark. No different to distinguishing the 2 actions of a dangerous tackle. There are 2 seperate actions. You can’t kick a player. It is not legal.
Beside this, Green is not clever doing this, he is a spiteful coward. Would never want to see my son doing that to anyone ever.

What ever station I was listening to maybe 6pr said that if it hits the goal umpire it’s play on.

Thanks kinsman

And they are wrong. They used to be right, but it's been changed for quite a few years. I said in another thread that I think all commentors should be made to do a test on the rules before they are allowed to commentate.

For a mark
14.2 PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES
(a) For the avoidance of doubt, a Mark shall be awarded if:
(i) a Player catches or takes control of the football before it has passed completely over the Boundary Line, Goal Line or Behind Line; or
(ii) before the football was caught or controlled by the Player, it was touched by an Umpire or any other Official.

But when in reference to a score:

12.1.3 Clarification and Examples
For the avoidance of doubt:
(a) if the football touches an Umpire, and in the opinion of the field and/or goal Umpire it has affected a score, play will be stopped and the Umpires will determine if a score should be recorded;

It was changed during pre-season a couple years ago when Betts kicked the ball into an open goal and it bounced off the goal umpire and back into play. The decision was made because goal umpires shouldn't be considered goal keepers that you have to kick around.

I have no idea why the umpires are over the goal line anyway and surely if the ball goes over the line and bounce back in it’s a goal?

 

[kirky]

So the winner of GSW/Collingwood has a 6 day break and not at least a 7 day break against Richmond.

Especially with video replays, their positioning is not required as it use to be in the past.

Even without the video, they have no need to be so close.

When you know your partner is a douche

 

[footy4ever]

I think either the Pies or GWS are a chance against Richmomd

Wishful thinking I think. I think Tigers might smash Pies and certainly GWS. I see Pies as the only chance to knock Richmond out, only because when the Pies are flying they're ridiculously arsey and impossible to stop...like Richmond. GWS are probably the most skilled side in the comp but to me they're just lacking something. I can't quite put my finger on it but GWS would be the side I'd most like to play against in the GF. They still appear to be wet behind the ears, even with Greene's smarts and little acts of campaignerishness. But here's hoping either can end Richmond.

 

[footy4ever]

Yeh i reckon they will at some stage. Probably after someone loses an eye!

Yep, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

This competition is honestly such a farce. Giants or Eagles, please just win it. VFL is such a joke.

Living in Toorak, either that or they're very young art conniseurs.

In all seriousness. He’s the club president. He shouldn’t be behaving like that at a game.

He’s a passionate footy supporter. Wears his love of the club on his sleeve. Nothing wrong with that.

Thats the thing. It isnt like a straight arm fend off to the chest ala Dusty. Its a kicking motion, so using that logic, if people think this is a smart and reasonable way to fend off an opponent then surely punching someone as a way of fending someone off is fine too. Seriously?

INT - Restaurant - evening

Jesus is seated at a table. A WAITER approaches.

WAITER
Good evening sir. Would you care to
start with a glass of wine?

JESUS
I'll have a glass of water thank you.

Im all for more physicality in the game of football, but that is just thuggish behaviour.
