Game Day Anzac Day: Rd 6 Collingwood v Essendon, MCG, 25 April, 3.20pm

Can someone with precise knowledge of AFL rules tell me if you’re actually not allowed to run towards a player and jump in front of them to spoil the ball? We got called front on contact for that and it cost us a goal. I always thought there had to be contact with the player.

I also do not know what the free kick for their first goal was about. Chopping off the arm? I did not see illegal contact there by Moore.

That was just a terrible call

Markov is terrible at disposing of the ball fmd. I’ll be glad when we no longer have to play him. My god, I’d prefer one of the draftees instead.

I don't think it's his disposal it's more his decision making

 

[thebaldfacts]

Frampton deserves credit for that.

Frampton looks to have been an inspired choice, despite my protestations.

Well Ruscoe definitely made contact with ball before making contact with the opponent…. Albeit with the back of his head. Probably shouldn’t have been a free technically but he certainly didn’t have eyes on the ball…


The free against Moore however was a stinker.

If Channel 7 are going to continue to inflict Jobe Watson on us, could they please teach him how to talk?

Commentary comparing jordy and Stringer lol

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

You’re kidding, right? He has had about twenty fumbles and half a dozen direct turnovers, more than offsetting the handful of good things he has done.

Sideys game is hard to judge. Alot of the ball, but made some bad errors, causing turnovers. I would say right now a 6/10.....

No his disposal is actually bad too. He often overcooks his kicks.

Is Stringer even playing or is there a Blue Light Disco on somewhere he had to attend?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

That handball in to DeGoeys back was something else, and not in the good way.

To be fair Jordy ran straight across Markovs path so he likely confused the hell out of him. No doubt he was expecting Jordy to actually want the handball reciieve. Probably poor communication from both players.

True but his replacement would be Will Kelly.

As someone who has spent hours around Jobe Watson... There's not much up in that head. One of the biggest potatoes in the country.

 

[sr36]

Is Darcy Moore your best/most important player?

Moore most important. Moore, Nick and JDG all stars. Whoever is best is preference of player type.

Because he is the ideal male Australian who we must all strive to emulate.

It's in the Watson's genes.

Be a Close game IF we win

Jobe is a Cheat

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Lipinski would have thrived in this game. Can’t wait for him to return.

I'd forgotten he was even alive.

Reckon we are going ok given the outs.

Not being funny, I always thought he'd copped too many knocks to the head.

Ex-thugby player that people seem to think is funny. Reminds me of Petter Helliar.

 

[Looney]

WTF was that?

 

[gouki88]

Why does anyone other than Daicos take kick-ins?
