Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[Spirit Level]

Adelaide are seriously good

 

[ozzie69]

I could cut 20 players right now from their list and not even have a passing regret.

They are three to four draft periods away from even being competitive

Then they need to wait until these draftees are in their mid twenties before they could compete. Poor dears would be oh so young.

 

[FreoRicci]

You'd expect they'd be in Dean Cox's ear.

Beautiful. Or Ashley Hansen at Carlton.

Untried coaches for rebuilding club. Enjoy

Commenting gold by Hudson ‘everyone wants a ticket for the Taylor show at the MCG’

Why would anyone with a future go there. 3 years of hell then get sacked just as the kids get 50 games into them.

 

[gaskin]

The **** has happened here? I saw the score at half time then switch it on and Radelaide are in front.

 

[muzzington]

Felt reminiscent of 3rd quarter versus Melbourne last year.

 

[Spirit Level]

Best game of the year

 

[gaskin]

That's a point. You can't overturn it.

 

[MadMundy]

Everytime Nick Daicos isn't on screen, everybody should be asking "Where's Daicos?"

 

[CakeEater]

Did lol at the Adl bloke ripping Cox's glasses off in the melee

 

[gaskin]

I'm surprised so many people don't know that free kick and 50 rule. Mind you, if umpired correctly there would be 15 of them a game.

 

[noise36]

Great game but , that wtf was that umpiring with that fifty and gifted goal at crucial time?

Far worse holding and tackling without the ball happened 30 second slater at the centre clearance, not a peep out of them.

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

Adelaide are seriously good

But the have to beat Collingwood and Stevic

If you dispose of the ball and are then held by someone who is not in the process of tackling you (which Sloane was not) then you get a free kick and 50. The rule is there so that a player that disposes of the ball has a chance to get to the next contest.

 

[gaskin]

Cracking second half and finish.

 

[danstar]

That match was never in doubt, once it got to the last 3 mins anyway. Pies have perfected the game plan to hold onto lead in the last minutes when its tight

It was brought in because Gary Ablett Jnr was trying to use the one two handball to free up space for him to get an unpressured kick, so his opponents were taking him out when he gave off the first handball.

It's a good rule that the umpires totally forget

 

[Retzlaff]

We are capable of beating the Pies at the G

 

[s_wd6]

I know Collingwood winning is better for us, but deep down I still would've preferred to see them lose.

Poor Adelaide though. Lost by 1 earlier this year to them and 2 today.

Yeah but not at footy

 

[Lach72]

Nice of the ump to allow Elliot to whack Dawson in the mouth so hard he was bleeding and not pay a free kick in front of goal that would’ve won the Crows the game…

Then apply that to 15-20 times a game.

I just saw that. Yeah should have been a free really

I thought that too but Collingwood seem really clinical this year. The best sides seem to sneak goals at crucial stages. Today was no different.
