Having a quiet day. Needs to lift his workrate.

stat board's ready to melt, archer's attempted two sentences in a row!

 

[mainboardboycotter]

Doubled that 50 words with a glowing appraisal of Brad Johnson and stern criticism of the rules committee... he's on fire now!

 

[Bazzar]

He was so excited at one stage he nearly lost his faulse teeth

 

[happy_eagle]

[SOSBenny]

so im guessing nothing of real interest on FC tonight? Good...means I can get to bed early

 

[sante]

What've they talked about?

 

[Dew_from_70]

What've they talked about?

- kane and his bladder control, richmond's captaincy
- judd
- lucas's injury
- tunneling
- knights (was in the hot seat)
- melbourne's early struggle
- lack of freo youth

how has nobody even bothered to mention croad's injury? structure wise he's probably hawthorn's most important player and neither FC or foxtel's on the couch bothered to mention it

 

[blues4flag]

Honestly, for the first 30 minutes he was nothing more than a spectator. Did not say a single word during the whole Kane Johnson segment (which must've went on for a 15-20 minutes) until Hutchy explicitly asked for his opinion.

 

[Boozeroo]

Massive improvement on the last couple of weeks, and with Firrito, S Thompson and Pratt were the only thing of note for the Roos this week.

 

[Bazzar]

Rubbish. 3 Minutes at most.

 

[scarecrow2k1]

He was very good tonight, quiet early but got going later

 

[serenityNow]

Bout bloody time.


missed it tonight

 

[scarecrow2k1]

Wasn't too bad an episode, now that Footy is on that's what they focussed on for most of the time

Forgive my ignorance, but I missed the show. What exactly is tunneling?

 

[Godfrey Jones]

how annoying is huchy breathing down arch's face, he's such a close talker...

you cant get a shot of arch without hutchy's ugly mug staring at him on the side of the screen

if i was arch i would have shoved him back

 

[Fino]

Forgive my ignorance, but I missed the show. What exactly is tunneling?

When someone goes up for the mark and the defender takes his legs out from under him, causing him to misjudge the flight of the ball and land really badly. Banned in basketball, and starting to be noticeable in AFL, especially with Riewoldt this weekend.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Ignoring Archer for the moment this show has become a complete borefest. I would prefer to watch 'on the couch' (despite rarely agreeing with Walls and Sheehan). At least that show does not advertise itself or try to be something it's not.

 

[Godfrey Jones]

Forgive my ignorance, but I missed the show. What exactly is tunneling?

when a player is in the air for the mark, and the defender behind him cleans him up by going for his lower body while still in the air

arch admitted to doing it and says there's no intent to hurt the bloke, just to "nudge" him under the flight of the ball

the danger is however that the bloke in the air is likely to get toppled sideways and even land on his head

 

[scarecrow2k1]

Forgive my ignorance, but I missed the show. What exactly is tunneling?

A player goes up for a mark, the defender cannot spoil so they push their body under the players legs, causing the marking player to lose their balance and hit the ground hard. Happened to Riewoldt several times on the weekend.

Arch admitted to doing it, but was taken a bit out of context, he was attempting to say that he was guilty of trying to push his opponents under the ball, and sometimes they'd be in the air so tunnelling would result

edit: it appears heaps answered this whilst I was writing...
