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

[Carl Spackler]

Gazz has a soft spot for the mighty hawks and knows some of the boys really well. He is quite close with clarko as well. He is a Hawk at heart from his pre demons days and I actually find him to be one of the better football analysts above plenty of others.

My wife refuses to listen to him and won't let me have SEN on in the car when she's with me.

 

[Kil Phearns]

Franklin gets the sort of soft free he would never have gotten in a month of Sundays at Hawthorn, kicks a goal.

 

[MinerBoy]

Spot on.....but was the right decision though.....
No prior and attempted to legally dispose of the ball.

That’s one of the areas the game has gone so wrong. Shouldn’t matter one iota if you have prior or not, if your disposal is incorrect it should be penalised.

Melbourne has the same issue last year. Anything short of their best intensity and they bleed goals.

And the flip side for the Dons is that anything less than unaccountable circle work where they can all run free sees them look shit

Watching Buddy in his twilight years reminds me of old fat Elvis. He now turns corners like a school bus on the way to the toilet like he has the shitty walk

It’s sad to see.

 

[Davo23]

Does Carlton just draft players without footy brains or awareness?

And, speaking of lack of footy brains, Daisy Thomas is such a waste of space.

ROFL he really looks well past he's best, how many more years has he got at shitney?

Exactly

 

[Kil Phearns]

But, but...Buddy is worth every cent! Ask that banker Andrew Pridham.

 

[Brishawk]

Lynch gives away fifty and then the giants players remonstrate with him by grabbing, pulling and pushing him. Not reversed.

 

[Brishawk]

Short injured. Dislocated elbow it seems. Injuries mounting for the tigers this year. Regression to the mean is a harsh master.

 

[Lotus]

That Jayden Short elbow injury was scary on slow mo reply. Richmond down to 1 on the bench.

FFS Cogs come to hawks - you’re too beautiful to be wasted at GWS

 

[RoughysMullet]

Umps giving lynch a freebie

 

[Brishawk]

Two kicks in a row due to inappropriate touching. Well done afl. This makes the sport so much better to watch

 

[Brishawk]

And another free kick due to 666.

 

[Off The Couch]

It’s a little confusing in that to create niggle the tagger would have to be bumping, jostling, basically man handling a player but it’s the guy on the receiving end who retaliates who cops the punishment.

Worst rule change ever- game is so bloody over umpired now, just let it go FFS

Exactly. They have empowered targgers and instigators by focusing the punishment onto responders.

Fans : Hey umpires can you go for 5 seconds without embarrassing yourselves ?

Umpires : How long was that ?

[Off The Couch]

And Martin knocks Kelly over and nothing

Umpires : How long was that ?

To be fair to the umpires, the AFL has given them a sh*t sandwich.

And is it just me or is Tom Lynch decidedly underwhelming?

Saw that too. FFS.....just seeing these things now makes so angry. Umpires have declared that those decisions last week were correct yet now they’re not paying it. WTF is going on???

Umpires should just call it “Contact” like netball. It’s halfway there already.
