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

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Two hands around the waist impeding him from running at a ball that was 35m away.

Free kick every time.

Followed by the arm chop that knocks the ball loose.
Take your pick. Hold or arm chop.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Nah, #FREEKICKCURNOW mate

Let’s not hold the defender accountable for poor defending.

I'm not saying the free kick wasn't there. I'm saying it was. I'm just saying there was no need to do it and there are better alternatives for a defender to execute in stifling a forward from marking it.

Naturally if you put yourself in the shoes of a forward, while contesting a forward, and read the ball, more often than not you'll find yourself either marking it or stifling it more frequently.

 

[Chism]

Hahahaha no HTB????

 

[Worm4]

Different holding the ball rules for Port ?

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Get ****ed! Arm free...

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

JHF hands free, spun in the tackle.

Umpires still confused.

 

[Hoops]

Weren't they just going to blow the whistle quicker? Didn't realise they had a harsher interpretation of htb

 

[zyzzbruh]

Having your hands free is prior. At least that's what the rules consider it as. You have an opportunity to handball it, or if one arm free, reasonable time given to drop it to attempt to kick. Making a genuine attempt has always been a factor in free kicks way before the tightening of the rules.

Not trying to, despite having the limbs free to do so, is the equivalent of diving onto a ball in a stoppage hoping for a ball up.

HTB.

Watch more footy.

Having hands free is not the same as prior. If he tries to drop the ball to foot and it hits the deck with prior, it's htb. It's not without prior.

That example just then with the Horny one was exactly the same thing. Horny had an arm free and made no attempt, because clearly he can't in that position flailing sideways against the deck. Why wasn't it pad then?

No I think you’re spot on. I’m just horrible at this sarcasm stuff.

 

[Plugger35]

TDK is turning into an elite ruck/forward, a shame the Saints missed out on him. I guess we will just have to settle for Weitering.

He’d still miss the goal

At least he would get more chances to miss the goal if they gave him the free kicks Curnow gets.

 

[Chism]

JHF hands free, spun in the tackle.

Umpires still confused.

Only confused one way.

Port wont be pinged while we will cop 8 of em.

 

[YeoShuey]

Kemp a great goal kicker.

 

[Worm4]

Gotta say , Thursday night footy is rubbish unless friday is a public holiday.

 

[Randomizor]

When did Carlton drop McKay?

 

[Corkintheocean]

Daisy not going to last long at Channel 7 speaking intelligently, with humour and validly questioning the integrity of the league.

 

[Xtreme]

An uncharacteristic miss from JHF

 

[Blues_Man]

The new interpretation only applies to visiting teams

 

[DirtySandman]

Things commentators say that I hate

“Thought their way through it “

 

[Chism]

At least he would get more chances to miss the goal if they gave him the free kicks Curnow gets.

Like all 6 or so from the whole season??

Check the stats and your own spud in King has more free kicks so far from less games played ya muppet.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

There will be plenty of times when they get it wrong for both sides.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Having hands free is not the same as prior.

It is if you have reasonable time. Which was tightened with the new rules.

HTB.

That example just then with the Horny one was exactly the same thing.

Wasn't, because JHF wasn't swinging 360. Didn't have the reasonable time before being sat upon on the ground.

Not HTB.

 

[JimmyBC]

Free every day of the week

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Port playing for high contact a lot

 

[Randomizor]

Like all 6 or so from the whole season??

Check the stats and your own spud in King has more free kicks so far from less games played ya muppet.

He’s had 12. So between last year and this year he’s had 50 frees for. Any other forwards with those numbers?

 

[Cyclonus]

Free every day of the week

Didn't look like it live, but was on reply.
