Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2021

[Baudolino]

Edwards, Prestia, Vlaustuin. Maybe.

Well damn.

 

[Spearman]

So you can't pin the arms any more, and you've got to instantly decelerate on contact, and gently lower them to the ground?

don't forget the whispered "you're okay, you're okay, the ground is your friend" while you do it

 

[frggr]

Ass-berry with a late ankle

 

[Cataholic]

Yeah nah.

That's in the back, not dangerous tackle.

Playing a contact game and legislating against contact is destroying the game from within.

 

[Listingbadly]

Quick question. Doesn’t Lincoln MacCarthy play for Brisbane?

 

[Spearman]

there will be a class of player joining the league that are big like NFL fullbacks who will just be there to break through tackle, because if you match his force to bring him down you will get pinged.

 

[God Mode]

******* Daisy "Brisbane covering the ground well" are you blind, bloody hate listening to her voice

I actually really rate her. She generally has better things to say about what is happening during the game than any one else in the commentary team.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Brisbane have been rather awful tonight.

They’re not a threat at all for the flag IMO.

 

[frggr]

Yes?

Agreed.

They never were IMO.

Them and Port are the epitome of teams that would need home finals just to have a chance of making the GF.

 

[frggr]

Hahahahaha BT just called him Jack Hawkins

 

[Cataholic]

It's really easy to roll the player in that situation.
He didn't and instead dropped into his back.
It's more in the back than dangerous tackle, but he did pin the arms and drive his head into the ground.

Rolling them means having superior speed on the moment of contact.

Pinning the arms is text book..... Which is now being outlawed essentially.

It beggars belief, I know, but there'll be incidental physical contact throughout a game because that's what the game has been built on. Physical contact.

 

[winty]

By the way Richmond are carrying on, you'd think they'd just won the granny.

 

[BotsMaster]

Quick question. Doesn’t Lincoln MacCarthy play for Brisbane?

Yes

 

[winty]

Hahahahaha BT just called him Jack Hawkins

He wishes he was as good as Hawkins.

 

[calder_daddy]

Though I dislike watching the tigers win.
Watching Brisbane absolutely shit the bed again is just as good if not better.
Charlie “w***er baby shark” Cameron is a down hill skier

All the more crushing fur next week at KP

 

[catstorm]

By the way Richmond are carrying on, you'd think they'd just won the granny.

Yeah a bit weird, you would think a team with so much success would just treat this as job done.

 

[Grimoz]

Maybe so but that wasnt a good call as they looked cooked, and also her whiny voice is annoying

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

That ‘was’ their GF.

Her voice just cuts through you doesn't it?

Not directed at you specifically, yeah footy was better in the 90s and earlier - agreed. But it also absolutely destroyed lots of blokes brains.

As much as we want the gladiatorial battles of yesteryear and the hardness and the biff, we can't have blokes effectively sacrificing their post-footy lives for it.

 

[Strange Cat]

I bet the tigers fans will flock to Bigfooty now after a few weeks hiding from the world

Johnno Brown “Richmond handled the hub better than anyone last year”

You mean the breaches, the constant sooking and sense of entitlement
