Autopsy Port v Crows - AFL Rd 23, 2024 - Sat August 17th 7:00pm (7:30 E) - (Adelaide Oval)

[Coops93]

What happened, commentators making it sound like there has been an assassination attempt?
Not even a free kick just 4 years ago and now listen to the carry on about it.

Are you being intentionally dense?

 

[Coops93]

Honest question: I wonder why the head doesn’t then “snap back” like other head high contacts we see?

Because his whole body is snapping back

 

[Stax on the mill]

Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant

So are you.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

SO who is the best call up for Houston?
Is Williams fit?

 

[Soggy2112]

View attachment 2082553The initial contact might not have been high but his head definitely whips forward into the shoulder.

There is 100% high contact.

That screenshot also shows that there was absolutely zero effort to get low and and avoid head high contact.

It’s unlike Houston but he saw and opportunity to lay out Rankine and he took it, with absolutely no regard for Rankine’s head.

That has not been acceptable in AFL footy for a long ****ing time and any effort to suggest otherwise is just ludicrous.

Btw just saw the replay, he’s clearly out before he hits the ground.

At the moment, the only person on report is Matt Crouch, talk about your own dirty player

 

[2notepockets]

6 weeker... Port ball
The toothless: umps are against us again....
Give me strength

 

[SC_Power]

How many weeks does everyone think that is??? I'd go with 6

4-6 definitely

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Marshall forward, Burton bCk?

 

[Duckimus Prime]

How does Port have the ball?

Because Horne-Francis took a mark, and the umpires decided to stop the game at that point.

Well done fella, but maybe you should double check whether Crouch is my teams player or not.

 

[Elixuh]

I feel like it makes it worse for Houston in terms of being able to mentally get back into the game when all your team mates and coaches are behaving like one of your family members has just died.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This will get the send off rule debate going too we don’t see too many dead set shirtfronts

 

[Soggy2112]

Bet you were quiet about the deliberate tunneling on Lachie Jones in the second.

A) Jones played on didn’t he? Or are you suggesting that your club has put a concussed player back on the field?

B) acting like those two incidents are in anyway comparable is laughable.

 

[ozaddy]

Well done fella, but maybe you should double check whether Crouch is my teams player or not.

Ahh, i got it wrong, i can admit it

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Willie

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Adelaide had this game now they have lost the plot

 

[fuic08]

So now the umps can see high contact

 

[Elixuh]

Because Horne-Francis took a mark, and the umpires decided to stop the game at that point.

Shouldn’t it be a free to the guy that got hit in the head and knocked back to 1981?

 

[Purple7x08_24]

This will get the send off rule debate going too we don’t see too many dead set shirtfronts

Problem is the bump isnt illegal

 

[chickenonachain]

Hard to believe there was no free kick paid at the time sums up how bad the umpiring is these days

 

[TY24]

Honest question: I wonder why the head doesn’t then “snap back” like other head high contacts we see?

Stop trying to defend your sniper.

It's a dog act. Accept it and move on.

 

[black is White]

Bet you were quiet about the deliberate tunneling on Lachie Jones in the second.

That should also be a week but it won't

 

[mick500]

Turns out knocking out the oppositions best player is a winning tactic.

 

[eaglespremiers]

What happened, commentators making it sound like there has been an assassination attempt?

In fairness Rankine sustained more injuries that Trump.
