Review Round 19, 2024 - Brisbane Lions vs. Sydney

[ZoBlitz]

Definitely happened yesterday at a centre bounce, the Swans players where waving their hands around that we only had 5 in the 50 meter arc, the umpires had a quick look and must have noted we only had 17 on and bounced the ball.

I noticed that too and wondered whether that's a zone violation but I assume if you're running with less players in a zone, you're handicapping yourself already so you can't be penalised.

So Could you hold 5 players off on the bench and then have them all sprint to the backline in a close game?

I think you get in trouble for not having one in the goal square but interesting idea to have 2 or 3 charge off the bench

Watched the final 2 mins then on youtube looking for the Andrews contact. Dunno if he bangs his head but he lands on his elbow with a bit of whiplash to his neck.

Thinking of the GC game, you'd be forcing teams to potentially send a seriously injured player back on to stand in the goal square if you can't start fewer players than required.

I remember GWS playing 17 for at least a quarter against Carlton a few years back, and even 16 for some time while an extra injury was getting triaged - requiring minimums in that scenario would've meant someone with a hamstring or ankle injury would have had to have come back on to field, and that smells massively like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

 

[cheekyLionsFan]

When we will know the MRO result from our game?

 

[Brett C]

Cornes and others calling for Hipwood's head over the "tunnel".

I've watched it several times and tried to get a read on the incident but it happens so quickly i can't really work out if it's "intentional" or an accident?.

Opinions?

EDIT: Just saw another angle on the Main Board and it looks pretty ugly.

Think Hippy might be doing some time for that.

Hippy is not a natural footballer and this incident proved it.

Was surprised it wasn't a free kick against but wondered if it was play on because it wasn't a marking contest.

The field umpire was 3 metres away and just put his arm up in a "whatever" type reaction

 

[CarterS]

The answer is No.

 

[Cockliff38]

Sam Edmund on X saying Hipwood will be fined and not suspended. Phew

Clug - 5 and 4

Cam - 2 and 5 ?

Gulden 4 and 3 ?

Big O - 3 and 2

Zork - 1 and 1

Pretty sure that is the only possible combination of votes?

 

[Tom14]

Went back through Sydney's other results and 77 is their equal lowest score this year, and 65 is by far their lowest expected score all season (next closest is 80 v GWS).

I’m sure the other team to hold Sydney to 77 is doing very well!

 

[Squizz89]

Confirmed only a fine for Eric. Pay it and run.

By the by neither or Cams goal in contention for goal of the week

 

[Nathan Barley]

Confirmed only a fine for Eric. Pay it and run.

Great reporting on the AFL website saying Blakey was flying for a mark and not just jumping to grab the ball

 

[Tom14]

Grasshopper17 Good to see us finish a game strongly and run over the top for the second time in a month. I'm choosing to ignore that they were 2 rotations down, we count that performance!

 

[M Malice]

Confirmed only a fine for Eric. Pay it and run.

Now we await news on Harris's injury possibility... I re watched the last quarter this afternoon and he looked fine after the game chatting to one of the Swans players on the field.

 

[mpal6]

Hipwood - Good Bloke - win !!

EDIT: oh and KCornes, suck a big one ya muppet !

The answer is No.

Obviously this is my favourite one, it definately makes you want to sing at the top of your voice and celebrate with Charlie, happy vibes...... but Port's "You'll never walk alone" before their matches gives me goosebumps.

Those two songs will always be connected/remembered to our clubs.

 

[McIvor]

How good was Hugh in the last quarter

 

[Nathan Barley]

That goal from the centre clearance was one of the flukiest goals I've seen

 

[CarterS]

Those two goals on the trot from Hugh definitely changed the momentum of the game. He's gone up a level with his goal kicking this year.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Papley fined for umpire contact in the 3rd, he get a bit heated on the pine ?
