Yes, it's very good to be the King. 🐯
 
Do not care either way, but how was Pendlebury not penalised for deliberately kicking out of bounds?
The corrupt umpiring is so blatant.
he played basketball back in the day

Daicos kicked a virtually identical goal in the first quarter, to bookend the game.
Poor defence by Carlton.
They had no one on the defensive side and allowed Daicos to run past and goal.
They did, Cerra was defensive side, but he was soft and fumbled the ball, leading to the goal.
 
The deliberate rule needs to be re-written. How was the Pendles clearance in the final minute not deliberate? He had the entire ground to kick it to and booted it directly to the boundary line & turned the ball to ensure it bounced in that direction also.

Rule needs to be cleaned up massively. It needs to be written that if you kick the ball between 90-180degree's straight from where your standing - irrelevant of the way you are facing & the ball bounces out of bounds without it being touched, its automatically deemed "deliberate"

So in the case of pendles, in the center - he can kick it straight, or if he chooses to kick towards the boundary in any capacity and it goes out of bounds without another player touching the ball, that is an automatic deliberate. There is no ****ing way that a player standing in the middle of the ground can be kicking a ball 50m and it going out of bounds without any player touching it, nor even around to contest it and it be considered an accident. Its either deliberate or a shit kick and the opponent should get it back to speed the game up.

It means that a player that has the ball on the flank or wing decides to kick it "down the line" towards the boundary and the ball goes out of bounds, then the umpire can still call it deliberate at his digression, but the benefit of the doubt needs to go with the player. It would have to be blatant

I'm not even sure i would be annoyed if they chose to call "deliberate" anytime the balls goes out of bounds directly from a kick without another player touching the ball, unless its inside either teams forward 50 either Or if the the ball goes out of bounds on the full either foot or handball/incorrect disposal - that is also deemed a free kick, getting rid of players who just handball towards the line and miss a player by 15m.

The league made the f-ign stand rule which ruined the flow of the game & makes the game look ridiculous, yet a rule about almost eliminating "Out of bounds" is sitting right there and they just ignore it. Would straighten the game up considerably. Essentially the only "neutral" out of bounds would be one knocked out of bounds due a contest.

Elliot Yeo

It's quite well known over here that Yeo has taken Reid under his wing.

You might think senior leadership is all fluff, but really, it's not. It's just as important as getting your draft picks right.

Ok so if the Saints offered their 1st rounder to west coast for Yeo, reckon they would take it?

Sure Yeo is "helping", but its not more important than getting more young talent, they would trade him in a heartbeat. Or if we asked for Yeo for Baker, they would take that in heartbeat too. Would YOU be happy with that trade? I know i wouldn't.

So is Yeo's leadership essential? Or just the best available atm? Is it so irreplaceable that if someone offered you an even moderate 1st rounder for him you would turn it down? Or would you accept it and then ask Gaff, Sheeds or Kelly to take over the role?
