Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 6 - Tigers v Swans Sun July 12th 3:35 AEST (Gabba)

[SterlingArcher]

1.2 for the quarter total

Thank **** for Gil and Steve Hocking and the committees that made the game higher scoring by interfering constantly. Imagine if that quarter had been low scoring!,

Tigers parking the bus

Yeah flood defence try and force a long kick then try and handpass it through on counter attack. Afl needs to bring in rule about keeping 1 or 2 attacking players inside attacking 50 at all times

Tom Lynch having a blinder.

BT has somehow made Hamish Mclachlan come across as the voice of reason and that's no easy feat.

In all fairness though. Imagine trying to commentate a game like this. Just a horror show

Terrible half. Neither teams will play finals playing this boring defensive shit.

I know we've been hubbing pretty much all year but this is the first time there's been no games in Victoria. Anyone else finding themselves zoning out then realising this is Richmond vs Sydney played at the gabba. Same with last night the Melbourne home game in Sydney felt like an away game at the gold coast and then seeing the North Melbourne vs Essendon score in the bottom corner of the screen my mind imagined an mcg game even though I knew it wasn't still felt weird flipping it over after the dees game very surreal haha. Or am I just strange lol?

The players certainly have zoned out.

Another thrilling high scoring contest, can't wait for the 2nd half.

 

[Millky95]

He's super easy to hate.. But goddamn I love the way he plays. Aggressive, passionate and backs himself.
His celebrations are hard to stomach though..

If he wasn't wearing a Swans jumper I'd hate his guts out

 

[SterlingArcher]

Right above the rule in the rulebook is that the spirit and intention should be to keep the ball in play.

Mills didn't have any of either. He invented the pressure, and had time or space to get rid of the ball.

It'd be absolutely ridiculous to apply the rule as "if you get pushed over it's not a deliberate rushed behind". Players would abuse that so obviously. Clearly in the spirit of the rule it's a Jack Riewoldt free kick, unfortunately like most rules in the AFL it just has grey area and room for subjectivity, however I'd argue it's the exact sort of situation the AFL wants to prevent - don't give up and invent pressure to be knocked over the line for a point.

Don't disagree, but Hamish is right in saying we should be happy with this. Richmond haven't scored a goal in a quarter and a half and we're still in the game despite losing our skipper early.

 

[SSwans2011]

Terrible half. Neither teams will play finals playing this boring defensive sh*t.

We're not playing finals regardless. Better off losing a tight low-scoring contest than getting spanked in a shootout.

 

[Hawkie_McHawkHawk]

What’s going on with Blakey? He looks horrible out there. Low on confidence and completely out of it.

 

[juss]

Lynch wasn't a good choice today. 6 days after hand surgery, wet conditions, already had Chol, Riewoldt and Balta, if not young Coleman-Jones in waiting.

 

[danster168]

since when aren't you allowed to step over the line? people saying he got pushed over are completely missing the point. You're as bad as the commentary team!

You can deliberately rush it if you're under pressure. Was he under pressure? Yes. End of discussion.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Swans getting shafted by the umps this qrt

 

[dean33]

This game is awful. 3 goals to 2 goals in the 3rd quarter.

 

[The 747]

Ugh this game, my eyes.....

 

[base615]

These idiots disputing the deliberate. FFS.

Nope, you've missed the point. Deliberate is not even a consideration if you've been pushed across the line. The action to cross the line must be initiated by the player with the ball before they can then consider if it was a deliberate action.

Just about game youd think with the scoring rate

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

That's just about game.

15 points is too much for Swans to claw back

 

[The 747]

This game might be improved by heavy rain

 

[Sterge]

How can anyone watching this garbage think its Richmond parking the bus or making it boring...
