Stringer time wasting in Essendon vs North game

[ash_1050]

Watch the AFL overreact and bring in a rule to prevent time wasting for set shots. Because if there's one thing the game needs, it's more unnecessary rules.

Did nothing wrong, still a shit bloke though

sadly youe'r right.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Within the rules, but massive flog.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Was clever, didn’t think he had it in him.

 

[Knox Harrington]

You know north Melbourne are bozos when they get outsmarted by stringer.
Karma bus hit them after their dog hit on him.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Don’t know why the umpire was there hurrying him along. Is fully entitled to use the full 30 seconds without being rushed on

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

what'd he do?

Who hit him? Only watched the second half. Surely you can’t be talking about Cunnington’s bump on him at the end though

 

[BLERN]

Sees thread.

Sigh of relief when its not a north OP

Explain for us non-watchers

 

[ash_1050]

what'd he do?

Received a 50 after a late hit which put him a the top of the square. Stood around for 25 of his 30 seconds before putting the ball through.

 

[Lsta062]

Didn't North Melbourne themselves do the same thing before?

 

[GuzzLG]

Mason Wood introduced this to AFL

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Can’t bring in a rule. The player will just pull up his socks or pretend he’s getting set for his kick. There’s no black and white line where you could enforce it. The reality is you get 30 secs for a set shot.

Who cares, game was over anyway.

 

[Smartest Brain]

Brown still does a 50m runup even 5m out, so that must be true.

 

[Duskfire]

Nah that’s nothing wrong with that.

 

[Drewie11]

Dicky move

 

[Gydafud]

"Not in the spirit of the game". That's the usual out cry that follows these things.

I always thought "obvious" time wasting was against the rules anyway.

 

[The_Irony]

Smart move. We don’t cry about players kicking the ball backwards to kill time, we call it smart. Well within his right to do so.

 

[Knox Harrington]

He was getting his breath back after that bump from that courageous tough north Melbourne player

Jake Stringer is extremely intelligent.

 

[MarcusP2]

what'd he do?

Spent 25 seconds lining up for a shot on the goal line. Was just standing around, not walking backwards or anything like that.

 

[Shane Heard]

Not as bad as the Le Crarrrr, stop the clock,tie my shoelaces bull####.

Jakey love.

Suck it up haters.

 

[The 747]

I thought there already was a time wasting rule - but anyway he is within his rights to take 30 seconds for a shot.
