[It Just Is]

Brisbane taking the piss out of the tribunal process but glad they are calling out players using dangerous tackles for free kicks

As Foghorn Leghorn used to say, "That boy's about as sharp as a bowling ball."

Doo dah doo dah.

State skipper.
Magpies leading goalkicker on a few occasions.

Agree he should be a Legend, but the HoF has strange criteria that they apply when deciding who to elevate. It's based on either your playing record or your coaching record, not both.

People like Fos, Jack, Oatey, Kerley et al were great coaches as well as excellent players, and if you look at their combined contribution of excellence in the sphere of their sport, the reasons for ranking them at the highest level are absolutely compelling.

Oatey should get in just for inventing the check side kick.

Collingwood premiership defender Nathan Murphy has this morning told teammates he is retiring.A meeting with a panel of experts on Saturday determined he be medically retired after concussion.

N.Murphy tribute match.
A loss for us this weekend.

You know how well we go with tribute games.

It would also trace to when coaches started having umpteen assistants and more tactical focus, who was in the box with Blight during the camry flags John Reid & Darrel Hart that was about it lol.

The answer is the same as it has been for all sports that were overall semi pro.

Big lumps that used to get injured or were slow once professional were able to get their speed and endurance up enough, which led to the good big un ousting the good little un.

In rugby the difference is so stark that pre and post professionalism are almost entirely different sports.

Really? That’s ridiculous, legend or fame status should be on the whole body of work for a sport as well as ambassadorship.

Didn’t work out for the dees in the opening round, although McRae likes to use emotion to get his boys going.

I’m doubtful it will make much difference though, the sacked coach rebound is a bit of a myth too, I think clubs lose those games just as much as they win.

For once can Hinkley go into this game with confidence and drum it into our players that they should do it easily if they apply themselves and don’t for once feel intimidated by the Collingwood team or their crowd. Embrace it, we should be confident.

So many writing us off in this one, but we are playing much better footy than Collingwood right now. They are starting to get going but I feel like their form is still a fair way off last year.

Port by 5 points. We will survive a late scare.

I think the point with that Willsy is that if the sacked coach was as likely to win the game as lose then he probably wouldn't have been sacked in the first place.

I was at the Pies Hawks clash and they basically played 1 quarter of footy.

Frampton played well from memory.

That may well be true.

But all he’s done here is cut and paste from a Nine News story featuring footage from the actual training incident from January this year.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I have no issues with Dunstall being elevated to a legend. I just think there are too many legends.

It kind of devalues the achievement. Particularly when there is different entry criteria for different states.

It is a bullsit category.

An arbitary 10% rule of those already in the HoF get elevated.

The 100 players and 10 coaches who were the inaugural inductees in 1996 are all legendary figures in shaping the game, otherwise they would not have been inaugural inductees.

They all might make it to that status in 80 to 100 years time.

Just more AFL marketing wank.

The Reddit AFL sub is the worst. Shit take after shit take, and the most sensitive mods in the world.

Oh yeah, and there's still a lot of "who else ya gonna get" port fans who love daddy.

Charlie's tackle was Low Impact
Nothing to see here

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Much like the pre and post professionalism Haka.

What even is that? They look like they're in the front row of a Status Quo concert.

So 5 times found guilty of rough play and fined, just not suspended?
And that's an "exemplary" record?
Plus he kicked a lot of goals over a lot of games
FMD!
