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

[Rotayjay]

I like that he is so openly demonstrative about his passion for the Collingwood

Its a game of football. Its emotive. It transcends "classes". He would look just at home in the cheersquad.

Agreed. Hate seeing corporate shills in suits watching finals, with the best seats in the house but not giving a damn about the game.

I'd take him over our current chairman. Even if he only uses 5% of his brain sometimes.

 

[TRP1996]

Hopefully you’re just saying that to rub more salt in the wound.

It doesn't matter whether everyone thinks it was a point. What matters is that JJ said it was a point. And JJ is an unquestionable omniscient authority on whether a ball has hit the post. .

 

[Crow till I die]

Should have an award for the best way a team manages to lose a game

This years Shuey winner is *gasp Port Adelaide for leading an entire game and losing on the last kick of the night after the siren

Nominations are closed as nobody else can come close.

Richie Douglas and Rory Atkins breathe a sigh of relief

it even sounds better if you say...port led from the opening bounce until the final siren....and still lost

You'd take ANYONE over our current chairman.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Would you trade Milera for him? I wouldn’t.

The trade question is a different issue. But there is no doubt he'd make us a better side.

JJ said HE THOUGHT it was a point ... little bit of a difference there.

I agree. Not only finals. I still remember being cheesed off back in 1997 when I first started going to games. I went to an event after a game and was thrilled to be there. But I could hardly hear what the players up front were saying, due to the loud chatter of corporates with their backs to the "stage" area. Nothing much has changed in that regard.

 

[GROTTO]

Would you trade Milera for him? I wouldn’t.

Despite this years result, we are in a flag window.

I would take Danger over Milera.

Danger can on his own win a game, Milera is not at that stage yet.

Hes also more than capable of losing one. How many times did he turn the pill over on Friday ??

Give it 12 months and I reckon Milera becomes more valuable.

even the one from our neighbors down the road

NOOOOOO. Nobody is THAT desperate!

Saw this floating around lol.

Excellent
Now when someone gets a boot to the face - again - they’ll be happy knowing it was a legal football act


WTF are these morons on ?

 

[Crowked]

Christian said the one in the chest should have been a free kick against.

So he recognised it was a kick prior to the marking contest.

I guess kicking a guy in the guts is legal in the AFL now. Not reportable anyway. Ridiculous. Reckon if Tex does that he gets 3

Ain’t that the truth !

I heard it explained as the act is illegal but the force didn’t constitute a suspension.
He got fined for the Dalhaus one last year.

Christian clearly has demonstrated that he is not up to the job this year on many occasions.

Need a good judge with common sense & a Michael doesn't meet this requirement to do a decent job.

Need a panel of 3, so any silly decision is more likely to be overridden by the other 2'

& clearly hasn't learnt his lesson... so the AFL keep taking the soft approach until Greene inflicts damage on an opponent.

Seriously, the AFL is being run by a bunch of out of touch morons, who pretend they protect the interests of players, but action doesn't back up the talk.

Consistency was why they had 1 - I just don’t think they thought he’d be consistently inconsistent .
Imagine what Tex would have copped for that !

 

[chazwazza]

So if a player takes a mark and his foot goes into the back of his opponent in front is everyone happy for that to be adjudicated in the same way? If not then when can you? In a players side? It becomes ridiculous.
I’ll agree it’s not a great look and possibly not in the spirit totally but it’s not illegal and you have to be careful where this starts and stops.

Appears the new rule will come into play for next season.

Its madness that you can kick someone and yet "gently" place your hands on the opponents back and its a free kick.

So sprigs out into any part of the body is now outlawed. I’ll wait for the hysterical complaints when it happens.

Not too many marks are taken like this. Maybe Morecrofts 15 years ago.
