No Oppo Supporters General AFL and other clubs discussion thread. **Opposition fans not welcome** Part 4

[TylerDurden]

Gee I love Clarko more and more - after getting completely bent over against the Dogs he refuses to blame the umps - never explain, never complain.
Then Hardwick comes out and nearly condones Martins off the ball hit because he can’t handle a tag. Don’t mind Hardwick usually but they’re finally getting some injuries and they don’t know how to handle it

They're not used to getting belted either. Good times.

Just heard Chris Fagan talk after Brisbanes win over Port Adel, he seems like an intelligent guy who knows what he is doing, no wonder he is doing well at Brisbane.

 

[PT Bar None]

so WWE rules are in effect, closed fists are illegal, but open hand palm strikes/slaps are fine.

Only a matter of time before we get a "ref bump" and Dusty brings a chair onto the ground

 

[OnTheRocks]

Another week and the umpiring is being talked about again. When will they ever get their shit together and just officiate our game and have minimal impact to no impact on the results?
Looking forward to watching our team today and not the umpires.

He is Intelligent but he also has a great young list

And he has the General. Probably the smartest move he has made since he got there.

Both have had a huge impact.

I think I understand the rules now..

If you touch someone with a fist, it's a free against.

But if you fell someone to the ground with an open hand, it's ok.

Seems legit.

Karate lessons at Waverley this week

Except those frees against Hawthorn (With the exception of impey) were with open hands.

What? You don't enjoy watching professional footballers who have played the sport practically their entire lives appearing awkward and unsure as they approach contests, looking perplexed and frustrated when free kicks are paid against them for actions which beach grey rules open for interpretation depending on the week that are impossible to officiate consistently?
You don't love watching players and fans, employing a 'if you can't beat them, join them' mentality compromise their integrity by pleading for deliberate out of bounds/rushed behind free kicks when they would never want to see such an injustice paid against their own team?

It's as if the AFL are trying to turn their crowds into soccer crowds.
Unfortunately, watching this farce of a sport now evokes more frustration than joy in me.

Best decision that club has made in a long time. Fagan instilling a culture that has players wanting to be there, then getting Hodge there to help. How much more would that help the young guys belief? Luke Hodge WANTS to be here, Luke Hodge BELIEVES in ME!
Good on em

 

[Yardie]

And they will continue to enforce it

Agree, there are 20 more games it needs to enforced in by the AFL.....

Those decisions were correct, though...the AFL told us so

 

[grumbleguts]

They also warned essendon that they were being investigated.

 

[Off The Couch]

They also said no tanking occurred at Melbourne

 

[Bugs1977]

Yep the AFL at the moment are like...

What's the deal Taylor, one club shift per season please.

The dopers still trying to change the rules?

 

[Nugett]

How many weeks for Dusty?

It’s not how many weeks for Dusty, it’s hiw many weeks for the giant’s player head butting Dusty’s elbow....

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Wow Gold Coast look very very good early. Doing a number on the dogs

 

[11sjw]

So is the Gold Coast's first quarter putting our effort or our deficiencies from last week into perspective?

 

[Nugett]

It was the right call. And they will continue to enforce it.

Even though in the 5 games since then it hasn't been called once.

Has Sicily been in them 5 games since it was last called? They are calling it the Sicily rule...

 

[Nugett]

Unless your name is Jaegar, Jarmen or James.

The letter J must have been last Sunday’s letter on Sesame Street, oops I meant the umpires meeting then

Like Clarko and Bolton he is an ex teacher. Correct me if I’m wrong he may have been a principal?

 

[grumbleguts]

Duryea butchering it with the best.

Free kick count 9 - 2 throwdogs way.
