Game Day Round 18 - Crows v Saints - Battle for Pick 4

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

A few of their goals came directly of dodgy free kicks... Ie the htb against fog... That was a completely wrong call.

That was absolutely holding the ball

Tackled, arm free and put the ball on the ground.

Also wasn't a shot at goal

 

[Mattrox]

It didn't seem like that at all

They obliterated us in clearances in Q1, got in first for the ball, were quick to tackle.

We started sluggishly in general, didn't adjust to the conditions with only Dawson up to speed.

Reacted strongly in Q2, more players got involved and I thought we largely controlled the game from that point on.

I saw it different. We would do something defensive well, like a tackle and no HTB. Or worse a free kick against. Sometimes we had the ball and a stupid free against cleared the ball out of our fwd 50.

And stats wise those freess against are a +8 c.p. for them.

 

[rabidcrow]

I am right now. Which is why I wanted us to lose. So that they sack Nicks and we get a better draft pick.

Then we can win more. Then I can be happy.

We could lose every game for the rest of the season and he won’t get sacked. You need to move on from this fantasy as it must get quite depressing for you. His job is under no pressure unless we start off next season like this season

Yep, we need to waste 2025 if we want Nicks sacked.

He has a leave pass with Murray, Worrell, Thilthorpe and Rankine missing chunks of the season.


I am starting to think I would prefer they just get better people to support him ie Simpson, Montgomery and Balme and we improve next year.





The thought of no Finals till 2026 is depressing.

That was a players lead sacking of Sanderson.

He picked up the ball and was immediately tackle so one of his arm wasn't free, where was prior?? They've really stuffed up the HTB change during the season.

You can't put the ball on the ground

It's an absolute of the rule

 

[ABAB]

It wasn't on the ground, he got immediately tackle when picking the ball up and was rolled over and umpire called HTB.

Ohhh I didnt know the players have had their end of year meetings for 2024.

 

[1970crow]

You are a miserable sad sack, aren't you.

Where have you been, seems like a month or so since you posted?

He put the ball on the ground

 

[Southerntakeover]

He put the ball on the ground

It ought to have been stopped and balled up long before that.

An incident shouldnt be a free kick or not just based upon whether the umpire chooses to delay the whistle.

 

[ABAB]

He put the ball on the ground

No he didn't, look at 21:45. The incorrect free resulted in a kick inside 50 and mark then shot on goal. It was as worst a free kick as the Walker ruck "infringement" inside attacking 50 in the same 1st quarter.

What on earth are you talking about?

He put the ball on the ground. There isn't anything else that happened or any other way to view it.

The Walker ruck infringement was also a correct decision. He bodied the Saints ruckman out of the way and never went back to the ball. A textbook illegal block

There were about 50 terrible decisions you could have highlighted

He picked up the ball, got immediate tackled and rolled on his back. Even the commentator was surprise it was called HTB.

And then...?

 

[ABAB]

And then...?

And then it should have been correctly called a ball up. No prior and got tackled.

But what did Fogarty do?

 

[ABAB]

But what did Fogarty do?

He couldn't do anything as he was tackle with only one arm free and on his back and there was no prior. That's why I said the HTB interpretation the AFL only introduced during season was BS. You wanted him to throw the ball with his other free arm and get pinged with incorrect disposal and dropping the ball???

A tackle with one arm free is textbook. If you don't attempt a disposal it's always been holding the ball

 

[ABAB]

Only if you have opportunity to disposal the ball, Fogarty was on his back so the only option to dispose of the ball was to drop it to the ground.

Having one arm free is an opportunity to dispose of the ball through a kick.

That's why it's the perfect tackle. If you pin both arms there's no prior and much less chance of getting the free

He roll him on his back, there was no chance of disposing the ball and no prior so ball up.

Even with no prior? Man I think I can make a video reel of about 500 free kicks we've been ripped off on this year then.
