Player Watch Darcy Fogarty - Re-Signed to End of 2031

[AFC979810]

I bitched about him not playing to his potential, but it was another user who tied themselves to the mast of 14 touches.

It was me....

Ha ha ha - and boy did it wind some people up!

Only player in AFL history to never get to 14 touches in his first 49 AFL games. #statthat

 

[GameofSloanes]

Bullshit.

If he wasn't BoG today, then he was bloody close to it.

Apologies it seems you weren't the one who thought fog was no good if he wasn't getting 14+ possessions, i have misremembered.
Fog was excellent yes, and has been most weeks since about round 8

Fog first 7 rounds: 6 goals
Fog since round 8: 33 goals

Would be good enough for 5th best in the league per game, since R8

 

[Pugsley]

The bloke is an absolute unit.
Pissed me off when he was tackled, hand balled it and the 4 umpires didn’t see it.

Clearly disposed the footy.

 

[StonesThrow]

Clearly disposed the footy.

I think they called htb for the time it took to handball it, which is also dumb. The way they're umpiring these days, he should have handballed earlier and tried for holding the man.

Gotta love the maggots. Game was over and they were still trying to carry the Bulldogs.

You said he didn't have potential.

 

[Betts are off]

Watching Fog ragdoll defenders yesterday was a thing of beauty.

He looks ultra confident in his ability to manipulate his opponent now. His first 100 games were a bit of a roller coaster. But I have a feeling his next 100 are going to be pretty special!

Curtin delivering the ball to Fog and Thilthorpe... yes please

Don't **** it up, Nicks

Just on the holding the ball call. He took a mark. That's prior. As soon as you play on from a mark you have expended your prior opportunity to dispose of it.

It's umpired very similar to the old "take the ball out of the ruck" rule. If you play on, and are tackled, you must dispose of it IMMEDIATELY. Fogarty still tried to break through the tackle. Yes it's hot, no maybe they don't pay it every time, but to the letter of the law it's a free kick.

There was two - I agree that was fair enough
There was another he handvalled to the ground and still got called

He went to play on, not realising that idiot team mates would run directly in his way, dragging their opponents there as well.

Get out of the great man's way, peasants

And while he wasn't great in those early season games... the whole team sucked balls.

Fog being a forward spent a lot of time where the ball wasn't.

My post isn't a criticism of him either, it happens. If anything it's good to see him have the confidence to burst through mere mortals, even if it doesn't always work.

Not quite Vader, not quite.

You said he was over-rated, that he had less potential than everyone thought … and that you would get him off our list ASAP. That he was a wasted list spot.

You were constantly saying that he would never amount to anything worthwhile AND that he had ordinary attributes for the modern game.

Anytime you hear Fog”s name, or see a post on it … you just need to say “I got that one totally wrong.” and not try and sugar-coat it in anyway.

I know you tried the “well if he’d played like this before I wouldn’t have had problem with him” which emphasises the entire issue most of us had with your original position.

 

[GROTTO]

I wish the AFC asked the AFL for a please explain for the FOG called HTB when he clearly handballed.

in today's HTB climate, where players dropping/throwing the ball out of tackles seems to be the desired action - this was a glaring miss. a real blight on the game... I've tried to explain the rules to fresh Thais/Americans over the last few weeks and it is a real... embarrassing? experience.

 

[jamesclean]

did he say this? not super fussed (I support this message) but I didn't hear it in the posto myself...

I love Fog, always have and always will.

But Im not a fan of this before the game.

Remember how it ended for Burton a few years back.......

[MrBarry]

Nothing has brought me more pleasure from our season than seeing him really kick off.

 

[FR0GGY]

The htb annoyed me, because the tackler didn’t hold him or the ball up, even if he had prior.

If you listen to it after the game. The presenter kinda shapes the conversation for him to say that.

Tbh I think the explanation is just a simple umpire error. The umpire just thought he dropped it instead of handballing it, which if he did, it was the correct decision.

Umpire called it based on what he saw in the moment and obviously got it wrong, shit happens.

I think the difference is that when Burton did that it was clearly a party line he’d been fed and asked to say. The last few Showdowns Port have really pushed this narrative trying to manufacture some kind of emotional response for the playing group.

Fog there is just answering a question honestly and genuinely. I don’t see anything fake or forced in it.
