Toast Round 10 = Collingwood 78-74 Adelaide

[Chameleon75]

Exactly. If you kick directly downfield to someone in the same mowing strip it’s play on then. Sometime the AFL overlook the blindingly obvious ways to remove problems

we’re the only sport that tries to make umpiring as difficult as possible and then complain about inconsistency, and now we expect them to do trigonometry. Simplify everything, make it easier and we’ll get more consistent umpiring.

Harvey’s handball in the chain leading to DeGoey’s winning goal was elite - his hands were lightening fast.
And he does that constantly, which when combined with his Footy IQ, will make him a very very good player.

Yes well observed he is so quick and accurate with those handbals .. just like then game winning one last week to Naicos!

What’s the equation for measuring static distance while on the run at an angle 32 degrees diagonal to the mown grass with the sun at 3:45pm though..?

I would need to know the length of the hypotenuse in order to deploy circular functions

Thats when you revert to "gut feeling" like presently

But is it actually known how wide they are and is it consistent across all grounds?

I thought they were 10 or 15 metres now people are saying 9?

It should clearly be standardised and the umps instructed to use them to help themselves

The 9 is the goal square. Honestly, it might be a help for 50m penalties but other than that the opportunities to use 10m line measures for running, or especially kicks, is severely limited. Not necessary

Yep and that’s probably the best we can expect I guess although I hear Melbourne are proposing retrospective scores if circumstances don’t match the expected score.
Seriously though I recommend everyone have a go at umpiring just once and see how they go.

Diagonal distance = forward distance / cos 32

The time of day doesn't make any difference.

 

[Pistol Night]

Diagonal distance = forward distance / cos 32

The time of day doesn't make any difference.

Especially at night or at Marvel

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Diagonal distance = forward distance / cos 32

The time of day doesn't make any difference.

Ah yes but what about the airspeed of an unladen swallow? How do you measure that with mown grass?

I just use Rankine's law of physics

Thanks for that. So it’s a simple equation to do on the run.
The only cos that really matters is “cos I blew the whistle”.

you measure it against those wire thingies they've strung across the top of the stands to deter the seagulls

European or African swallow?

I lost concentration after swallow

how many steps does it take to ping a hamstring?

 

[Doc1763]

I lost concentration after swallow

is that usual for you?

Alcohol absolutely

That needs a bit of work to figure out.

 

[manicpie]

112 according to him

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Good question. For an achilles the answer is zero.

Hey I count us as having played 31 guys so far this year, is that right? Given we have gotten zero from McStay and Murphy this season, that is a phenomenal effort. If Kreuger or Allan get a run soon, and with McStay to return, we’ll be putting up some pretty huge numbers for players played in a so far pretty successful season.

But it costs nothing to implement and does t affect anything or anyone negatively so why not?

 

[3rdMan]

Did you hear what ol' man Cornes has said? Can see where Kaneo gets it from..

Ironic seeing as the umps missed a high fend off free to Josh just a short time earlier. Just before Rankine's goal I believe.

Might want to see how was responsible for giving the ball to Crisp earlier, over the head left handed picked him out perfectly

 

[riddick78]

Just heard a replay of the radio call on ABC. Absolutely nailed it… saud something like “ he’s run a long way”…..

Cameron ling went on to congratulate the callers on just calling as they saw it and then bagged out the tv commentators making stupid comments like the umpires should have not blown the whistle because it ruined the moment ( or whatever they said)

I watched the last quarter last night and i believe "not in the spirit of the occasion" is what was said and i think it was Gary Lyon who said it, not sure what he meant, i'm not sure if it's in the rule book, e.g. a player can run no more than 15 paces unless it's in the spirit of the occasion.
