AFL 2019 Round 5: North Melbourne v Essendon, 4:20pm AEST MS

[Rod Stroker]

Contact below the knees rewards soft *****

Harsh. MacMillan was bending down to pick up the ball but was knocked off it. Soft free though

 

[CrowInFiji]

The kids deserve better than this. Start doing 1000 per goal and 200 per point.

 

[Andronicus]

Lol Essendon fans shocked a call went against them

Have been more against them than for them......

 

[Jobe Watson]

Yes. Penalise the guy who goes and gets the ball just because he brushes alongside a player's ankle.

 

[Kram]

Vote Greens

 

[HBF]

Last ep rated over 2m

So did the second last ep as well

 

[SterlingArcher]

That free to Macmillan was absolutely there by the rulebook.

Which is why the rulebook needs to be mercilessly burned.

FFS. It's such an easy change too. Knees/legs first when sliding in = free kick. How has it come to this.

 

[George]

I'm sure if you have children you would've used the Royal Children's Hospital before, and if you haven't I'm sure you will in the future"

Gee thanks BT...

 

[Foucault1989]

Ziebell has had 1 disposal which was a shanked kick

Ziebell is on his last legs

 

[beema limapep]

So is Essendon's to be fair. Both teams have been poor.

Fair call. I checked and Ess 10 North just 6.

I get they are both attacking sides but I reckon North need to stick a few more. Essendon are moving the ball too freely

 

[Chadwiko]

Have been more against them than for them......

Hahahaha what game are you watching.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Every time they play a contact below the knees free kick without someone getting injured shows how reactive the rule change was. Would be in the 300 frees to nil injuries range in the last two years.

 

[Boppo]

At the game and loving the new runner rule where they have to exit the play before the bounce. Keep it for good.

Is there another team in the AFL where the captain is not best 22? Zeibel looks slow and lost.

 

[Geelong63]

Ziebel putting in a blinder.

One possession

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Dying from climate change and underfunded healthcare doesn't appeal to me. I'm selfish that way.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Hahahaha what game are you watching.

The one where Kangas have 9 and Essendon have 8.

 

[Blues_Man]

Brian Taylor is such a f
flog ..raving how the Ball is in Merretts hands the best kick in the team ...who them proceeds to kick it straight to a North player

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Really don't mind the umpires rewarding the player who keeps his feet & plays the ball

Until last week, people said the same about Nathan Jones. It's only early...

 

[Blues_Man]

The one where Kangas have 9 and Essendon have 8.

And getting an Armchair ride from the Umps

 

[TheWeapon]

17 free kicks in a quarter already

 

[beema limapep]

Hahahaha what game are you watching.

Frees are 8 all.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Nathan Templeton is such a liniment sniffer

 

[MJG14]

Brilliant. And so accurate.

 

[Red Bull]

North gotta tighten up on Bags here
