Autopsy AFL 2021 Finals Week 1 - EF1 Dogs v Bombers Sun August 29th 3:30pm EST (Uni of Tas)

[HTPunter]

Merrett lost his head, playing extremely undisciplined. Drop the tough guy act ffs, not fooling anyone, use your skills and smarts.

 

[Falchoon]

Quite seriously, Macrae's diving at legs needs to be penalised.

There's a rule specifically for it.

 

[gordo2016]

Its is just me or is Cody Weightman trying to become the most disliked player in the AFL?

Seems like he would probably like that.

 

[deck]

Not sure the criticism of Weightman he hasn't done anything to over exaggerate any contact. He just happened to be lucky enough to be on the end of the free kick.

 

[SSwans2011]

Is it just me, or has actually being pushed in the back become seemingly no longer a prerequisite for in the back free kicks this year?

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Youre allowed to push people in the side when the ball is within 5 m so it doesn’t even matter whether it was before or after.

It was a farcical decision. Same with the supposed hold against Gleeson. Same with the high against Draper. Same with the 50 against Young. Same with the hold against Laverde.

Who wants the umpires influencing the result to the tune of 5 goals ( 4 to dogs 1 to Essendon)

If you make that sort of contact after a kick anywhere on the ground then it's a clear free. You're not allowed to dump a layer after they dispose of the ball. THat's clearly what happened.

 

[Vyrone Trickery]

I actually said as much way earlier in the thread about one of them. Not the other three though. Or his entire career to date…

He hasn't actually played for any of the free kicks, though. The free kicks kind of just fell in his lap, he didn't ask for them.

 

[nipst@r]

Classy. Want a bloke knocked out because of a football game. Your kids must feel safe.

Getting knocked out is a consequence of leading with head and playing for free kicks. You initiate high contact eventually your going get hurt. Umpires need to stop rewarding it and stamp it out.

 

[tenacious d]

I'm torn, want to see Essendon go many more years without winning a final but would hate to see the umps get their win.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Durham ohhh boy

 

[The 747]

Every now and then in this thread there is a post that is not just sooking mindlessly about umpiring.

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

You moron

 

[NonPhixion]

if the game is over, Stringer please just give Weightman a couple behind play

been good

 

[Toffee Lion]

Geeeeeeeeeee. What is old mate doing on the line there.

 

[theyellowsash]

Gotta laugh at people who think that knocking over an opponent who isn't looking when the ball is 50m away at a stop in play is 'tough'

 

[danster168]

You've had three soft 50m penalties for three misses.

4 easy kicks for Weightman (the dogs most accurate kick) in front of goal isn't on par with 50m out to Draper, their worst kick.

 

[Tas]

Strong mark in the rain.

was a good player.

 

[rainwizard39]

Yes, my reactions are that of a sook. Not the bloke wishing physical harm on someone over a game.

It was more of a tounge in cheek anyway comment. So don’t get your panties into too much of a twist.

 

[Obzerva]

They are now looking for Lee Harvey Oswald now.

one of the stands is the Gunns Stand

 

[PhatBoy]

3 weren't there according to me.The only one that was there was the first high tackle.

Who gives a shit if it happens to Gawn.

He got tackled without the ball and dragged down. It was a free kick mate

 

[HTPunter]

Devon Smith might be even more unlikable than Toby Greene, if possible.

Loves a whinge just about anything, and is actually a mediocre half forward at best but rubs it into the opposition like he's a 1980s full forward beast.

HAHAHAH OH BOY
