But isn’t this a rumour - shouldn’t we wait for the club’s official injury report before spreading unfounded rumours about McGovern?

Injury - Blue Healers Discussion - 2024

Any news on McGov Prob too early

That’s great then we can delete all mentions about McGoverns injury then.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Port turn 35% of their kick ins to an inside 50. At the top of the table. We are sitting on 21%, in the bottom third of teams.

Might be something to look out for.

Port is the only top 8 side at the pointy end of that list, doesn’t appear to be a particularly useful stat.

 

[Red_man2008]

Umpires have been instructed to reduce the time given for players to dispose of the ball during a tackle. Our game will be the test case I guess now. Let’s hope we bring our tackle game v port. Opportunity to get a heap of extra frees.

This is not what the umpires need to fix however. The issue is with dropping the ball and incorrect disposal while being tackled. This game could be an angry one.

Port might have played some particularly porous teams... North, WC, Hawks, Tigs, etc.

Hard to read their form line outside of their outstanding Geel win.

But we've never won at Adelaide oval against an SA team.

Not overly confident going in but I wasn't against Bris either.

Would this be a better win than beating Brisbane up there?

The in the back rule has also all but disappeared.

Tackle a player - drive him forward into the ground and no free kick.

Totally agree.

Our game will create more debate about the issue.

Agree, incorrect disposal is the biggest blight on the game whether that’s in a tackle or perfecting the crow throw but it’s particularly frustrating in a tackle

The Curnow one is more about protecting the player from injury which is a byproduct of the tackle and suspension interpretations costing players weeks on the sideline suspended.
It’s actually a great example of the game sorting itself out and working with the new interpretations, which is what would happen if the umps just paid incorrect disposal all of the time.

Problem is, they’ll go hard this week and by finals time it will be back to what it was last week which is the ultimate frustration

I’m hearing McGovern is playing with Marchbank boarding the plane as the emergency.

Hope you are right that Gov is playing

That would never of happened if the umpire had actually paid a free kick to Curnow for the blatant push in the back from Andrew as he was attempting to mark. That's what the commentators should have been asking, not the holding the ball decision

 

[HereComesJuddy]

I’m hoping the same

Hawks lost by 1 point to them at AO in the dying seconds a few weeks ago, I’m sorry no excuses if we fail again at AO. This is a mini final

I would really love for us to break the cycle this week and beat and Adelaide team at Adelaide Oval.

being out/playing underdone will help us immensely and hopefully the HTB changes will also

 

[myblueroan]

Agree.

While Weiters, Saad, Newman, McG, Kemp, Cowan and Boyd keep building as a defensive unit, why wouldn’t we keep playing Williams on the forward line?

Looked dangerous around the contest, and that last goal he kicked was a beauty….even the clip around the head from a defender didn’t put him off.

Weiters seemed to think he'd be staying forward as it's working. ( interview)

Hope everyone is ready to lose their minds with umpirwe decisions tomorrow nite.

Seems to me they oughta fix incorrect disposal.

 

[Coops93]

With the announced changes to HTB expect some hot holding the ball calls in this game.

Thursday night primetime, everyone will be watching to see what the new interpretation looks like. The AFL knows this and will want to set the tone for the weekend.

Good! It's wet! Better than constant pile ups

I think it's good too.

Watching Charlie getting tackled I had 2 thoughts - A) That's clearly holding the ball and B) That's either a knee injury or a concussion waiting to happen.

100 percent.

The adjudication of this at the moment is diabolical. Saw Cripps just let go of the ball in one tackle because he knows the umpires will call play on. It's getting ridiculous and is a blight on the game.

Monsieur Cripps May need to unload a little faster as he circumnavigates!

 

[kreuze_missile]

Our Thursday night fixture has become the testing ground for the AFL’s new holding the ball rule.

Fortunately the AFL has a great track record for implementing change so I’m sure this is going to be fine…

 

[Arr0w]

Really looking forward to the game. Will be a great test against a side that plays well at home, looking to cement top 4

God help us. That’s all I have.

Monsieur Cripps May need to unload a title faster as he circumnavigates!

I am a bit unsure about this rule change/adjustment/interpretation. Let's see what it looks like in practice.

Personally I think if a player is strong enough to stand up in a tackle, have his arms free, and take his time to get an effective disposal away, then he shouldn't be punished.

If the tackler pins the arms, and the ball is dropped, or can't be disposed of. Thats when you need to reward the tackler.
