Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[kirky]

Essendon doing some damage to teams in the 8. Very entertaining.

It ensures our pick will be pick 4 at worst.

AFL and the umps have jumped the shark with this 'new strict interpretation' of high frees.

They've targeted one player to make an example of (rather than the handful that have made a career doing it), refuse to pay ANY high tackle against him, and have taken all responsibility away from the tackler not to get a player high.

It also ignores that a shrug, or lowering your body to make an evasive action, are all techniques used to evade or break a tackle.

Baffling decisions this year re umpiring.

I was about to post that I’ve never seen a game where so many players are tapping the ball to the advantage of teammates. Not in the ruck but in general play. And then bang, in the goal square an Ess player slaps the ball to a teammate who kicks the goal.

It’s really smart footy. Something we don’t do often enough nor as well as other teams.

We seem to take possession of the ball and get tackled when a simple knock on would be so much more advantageous.

It’s a trend in the way good teams move the ball and something we should emulate.

I wanna speak to the manager!!

We are a process driven side

Do this followed by this and dont go outside the lines

I agree. As long as the player isn't dropping the knees or leaning into the tackle the free should be paid. Disaster waiting to happen at the moment.

5*.

Brisbane will get Ashcroft and, hopefully, North don't get a PP.

You can feel the belief with Collingwood, both players and crowd

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Carmichael with 2 last quarter goals coming on as the medi-sub.

 

[jackster83]

Jesus, not taking Carmichael is looking worse with each day.

 

[ams4crows]

Carmichael genuine goal kicking mid.... We stuffed that one up royally

 

[fuic08]

This Carmichael fella looks handy, wish we had access to this sort of player.

 

[kirky]

Unbelievable Collingwood.

Belief. It comes down to belief.

 

[Crow_68]

Josh Carmichael would easily be in our best 22 - you absolute muppets Hamish and Justin.

 

[pjcrows]

Sure am glad that Brett Turner got 10 touches in our SANFL side yesterday while Carmichael is scoring crucial goals in big AFL games.

There once was a boy named Ginnivan
Who milked free kicks by cheatin
The interpretation was changed
No reward for a stage
His goals are now at the minimum

Another great game of footy.

We have the worst recruiters. I can't believe the club keeps persisting with them.

 

[TRP1996]

Howe did he do that.

 

[Crow_68]

Oh dear Jeremy

 

[Crow_68]

Oh boy wowee

 

[kirky]

**** me dead!

 

[Maddogmetro]

What an incredible kick for goal by Elliot.

 

[jackster83]

Amazing finish. How quick did they move that ball from defence?

 

[Crow-eater]

Wowee. Elliott what a goal.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

How the **** do they keep doing it?

 

[pjcrows]

Ah that reminds me - time to go watch Dawson's goal.
