Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 12 - Port v Blues Thurs May 30th 7:30pm AEST (AO)

Not that I agree with that crybaby. But yes the AFL have wanted you to make finals consistently for a decade now.


Remember 2016 when you had the most prime time games in the comp off the back of nothing in the previous year?

Firstly, wrong year. Secondly, what time slot you play has nothing to do with the outcome of the game. From memory we got smashed just about every game that year.

Steve Hocking has ruined modern football

STAND chip STAND chip STAND chip STAND chip

Chip-mark was around long before the stand rule. The stand rule speeds the game up.

 

[Dee Train]

This game is even making league look exciting….

 

[Atomboy]

This low scoring Ross Lyon football is the worst

 

[ams4crows]

Carlton don't want it enough, Port will win this purely off the back of their desire to stop Carlton from scoring

 

[boncer34]

another horrendous <10 goal aggregate half

the game needs to change back to what it used to be

get rid of stop-start STAND and let's see some scoring again!!

How does letting the man on the mark move increase attacking football?

I'm all for tightening things up but I'm really not sure how Newman's expected to get rid of that there

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

I'm all for tightening things up but I'm really not sure how Newman's expected to get rid of that there

Definitely an overcorrection.

 

[Matilda05]

Does in the back not exist as a rule anymore?

 

[Skull Face]

If that newman one is paid for the rest of the year im going to jail for whoever made this dumb rule

 

[windyhill]

Yes Horny !

 

[jakson68]

That boy has to stop playing for frees

 

[Chopperdave]

Funny thing is if you go back and watch games from 1980’s Holding the balls were paid almost every tackle so all those people saying how good footy used to be might want to take a look at that…

JHF finding his goal kicking radar.

 

[Fadge]

The umpire didn’t say “Don’t pull the ball on the ground, that’s against the rules”

He said “Could you please give me the ball?”

A completely reasonable request. The only reason a player would ignore it is to buy some time.

How hard is it to understand?

If a player has the ball and the whistle goes, he's allowed to put the ball on the ground to move on and set up for the ensuing ball up. That's not time-wasting.
If the umpire is already in position to take the ball, asks for it and you don't give it to him, that's time wasting.

And this is precisely what is wrong with the laws of the game.

Astounding that you guys are ok with an umpire being able to pay a free kick against a player despite them playing to the rules of the game.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Game is flowing more freely as a result and it's making tackles relevant again.

I like it.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

This is such a overreaction, will be the Collingwood rule to combat the way they close out games

The ball winner is disproportionately punished, one each way now

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

This game is even making league look exciting….

Yep, thank goodness the scores are close, otherwise it would be rather dull.

 

[jakson68]

Nice finish

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

That HTB against Newman was shocking.
This interpretation won't last long.
I'm sure a lot of neutrals will be enjoying it when it goes against Carlton, but they'll all be screaming when it happens to them.

I like the faster whistle when it's no prior and obvious that it won't come out.

 

[MarcusP2]

“A real m0ng kick”

If that gets picked up on he’s gonna be in some hot water.

Short for mongrel, been used for years by JB.

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Dixon is absolutely cooked

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

How's that not HTB?

 

[Cyclonus]

Not HTB against Marshall?
