AFL Toast JLT2: Geelong vs Essendon, Central Reserve, Sunday 11/03/18 @ 1:05 PM

[Mercurial89]

They started banging on about Sellwood legs getting take out. Hurley had his legs taken out and the player wasn't in possession of he ball and doesn't rate a mention.

Its just a discussion point after the horrendous call against roughy last night.
There is ambiguity in the rule for a lot of the media because it used to be a sliding rule, now its any forceful contact even of you have the ball.

 

[JayDon]

Whats the record for most total frees in a game

Agreed!
Stringer Full Forward 2nd Half!
Begley Forward Pocket!
UNLEASH!

Whats the record for most total frees in a game

72 we are on track for 80

Edit: Also no game from 2000 onwards has had more than 60

Love the attack on the ball by our midfielders.

Love seeing McGrath on the wing. You know when he is involved in a passage he will find a spare man quick and open it up.

The whinging about the umps reminds me of what one of my coaches once said when someone was complaining about being pinged for a push in the back

"Play in front and you wont be pinged"

and then Geelong player gets shot on goal (for a goal) for dubious in the back by Begley in the next play.

Lyon saying McNiece took Selwoods legs out when he was handballing it....

Lyon needs to get out of the box he is embarrasing himself

He probably isn't safe outside the box too many Billy brainless fans (predictive text but I'm just gunna leave that in there)

not that it isnt annoying but this game wont count towards any actual game stats

 

[iBeng]

Not sure if anyone has answered this, I’m not sure, maybe someone else may know

Yeah ive had a look around but not seen anything

 

[adsla69k]

I'm really not a fan of Green. Should have draft Miers to replace him.

 

[Bigjobss]

Myers has been the big tough body we need, and effective, I hope he has a big season

 

[The Prosecutor]

8.2.50 in a half of footy with Essendon in front yet all I'm seeing is bitching and moaning about the umps and other stuff.

The record for most free kicks in a game is 72, there's been 40 paid to halftime. I think it's fair people are frustrated by the over umpiring.

 

[adsla69k]

We should go and get Ellis Yoelman this off-season. Lol

Unless you're Green!

 

[MarkG]

Positives

Effort
In front at half time
Straight kicking
Zach Merrett
Zaharakis (5 tackles) good running
Devon Smith

Negatives

Way too many passengers
Hooker, Walla and others way off their best
Menzel playing as though he has no opponent
Hawkins making Ambrose look 2nd rate

One of my coaches used to say "aw where's he going with that? Get him off!"

Season proper yes, preseason game no.

 

[Bombers36]

Selwood and Duncan doing what they like, apart from that some good signs. Zerrett and Heppell look in good nick, Bellcho has been good I thought, our tall forwards all look dangerous and McNeice has done some nice things also so will maybe keep his place in the back pocket over Baguley with a big second half

Yeh all those "high tackles" and "in the backs" piss me off, not only do they crush the flow of the game but they reward play where the contest becomes more about fooling the ump and not about playing the ball, bad for footy.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Would like to put our foot down in the 2nd half

Agreed re Ambrose.

Would love to see Hooker play on Hawkins and Stringer to FF for a quarter.

That dropped mark from Walla

McNiece > Bags any day!

Nothing worth calling apart from giving away a couple frees!
