Anyone who has a decent understanding of the rules:
Was that free against dawson for tripping rozee the correct reading of the rules? Never seen it happen before, he grabbed rozee around the thigh area, rozee wrigglss out of it and the hold drops to the shin area.
If someone tackles around chest area and the player drops to evade it so the tacklers arms go above the shoulder, umps will call play on, so shouldnt the same judgement be used in this instance?

personally don't think it was, he never actually got tripped over (though it likely would've tripped him over if it continued)

just overumpiring

jake soligo is gonna be some player one day. he's electric

The only way to actually stop these incidents, and not undermine the game, is not to put it on the suspended player. It's almost always the guy hurt who is at fault. He's the only one who can protect himself.

Would be curious to see how many head knocks from slit tackles are from players taking the tackler on and having a textbook tackle completed but the final result being the sling

didn't see the tackle but if im reading this correctly and a tackle starts around the waist but finishes below the knees then it should be correctly deemed a trip

 

[jannissary]

IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO PORT????

how could both esava and BZT fail to take a mark on the line???

feels like he's just being extremely wasteful tonight, little impact.

 

[the PILL]

Phwah. I know our game day threads can be emotionally colourful at times etc but Ports tonight is next level.

I see what you did there

i'm ready for my sack hinkley thread reading tomorrow morning

 

[Blind Turn]

Have you ever thought of going on that music quiz show RocKwiz?

 

[Ati Tude]

Phwah. I know our game day threads can be emotionally colourful at times etc but Ports tonight is next level.

It's being updated that fast, it is hard to keep up with it. Pretty funny stuff some of it. Full Portington mode really.

 

[Blind Turn]

Why didn’t Port bring this abysmal nonsense against us? Pricks. This is one of the most underwhelming performances of any team this season.

we got beaten in the ruck

Wheels falling off for the power

Rozee (injured), Georgiades (lower leg?), Marshall (ankle)


Excuses for Ken to keep his job or done if they miss top 4?

is such a selfish footballer when the going is tough. Seen very little to no second efforts, little attempt to bring team mates into the game and pot shots at goal when team mates could have better odds of goals



in other news, bad kicking is bad football. 23 scoring shots to 18 yet down by 30 points is telling

 

[Old Campaigner]

crom

 

[TheGrizz]

Just checked the score - Port kicking 5.18?!?!?!?

 

[jannissary]

yep, they shit their dacks from the get go

 

[Blind Turn]

Yes we did. But keeping on topic, why didn’t Port bring this abysmal nonsense against us? Pricks.

 

[windyhill]

Rankine, close to the most exciting player in the comp.

 

[Blind Turn]

well they were 10.3 at half time instead of 3.7

Pricks.
