Sure signs someone doesn't know anything about footy

He's just trying to justify the non free kick against Monfries on the weekend.

No, that was a free kick. Poor umpiring.

 

[estibador]

Player (A) gets ball, 0.5 microseconds later is tackled by player (B)

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll"

To be fair that seems like the best way to get a htb decision these days.

 

[donbooger]

Enlighten us why it can't be?

Far to many tackles and higher pressure around the ball these days. A stricter interpretation of holding the ball will favour second to the ball enormously, it may not be so simple or beneficial as the general footy thinks it may be.

 

[Hollow Knight]

When they abuse a senior defender for leaving his opponent to bail out a young teammate who was totally out of position, only for them to suffer a bad bounce and then their original opponent gets over the top and kicks a goal.

"THAT WAS YOUR MAN ADCOCK!!!!"

*that Gabba cringe*

'lowering the interchange cap, which was a good idea in the first place needs to be lowered further'
'ross lyon is overrated'
they're impressed when a player dribbles a goal from acute angle
stat freaks - 'gary ablett leads league in clangers. he just butchers the ball'
'Corey Enright is something less than an all time great'
'jack is the best riewoldt. check the coleman standings'

"We applaud what u have overcome"

 

[donbooger]

It can't be as simple as it has ever been, for 120 years the rule was never discussed, now the coaches, media, members and supporters are consistantly asking what the hell is going on with the HTB rule? Clearly it is not as simple as you think.

Agreed, dont think the answer is to severely tighten prior opportunity though. Just give the public and umpires a number of steps as an estimate to go with instead of leaving it 100% to the subjectiveness of each umpire.

"Zac Dawson is a shit defender".

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Players need 50-75 games to find out if they can play!!!!

Jack Stevens is my favorite Saint Kilda player.

Any reference to a 'catch'
Any reference to a 'referee'
Asking who all those orange/pink people (the runners/waterboys)

These do my head in. "Dylan Shiels" is another that just kills you. "Ryan Hargraves" from a few years back as well.

The friends we go to the footy with every fortnight have a guy behind them who has been a Freo member for 16 years but constantly asks our friends who the players are.

Also the types that ask "is *player who retired 4 years ago* injured or something?"

Some old chook at the Gabba looked devastated when I broke the news to her earlier this year that Jamie Charman retired in 2011.

Andy Ottens and Jarryd Lyon as well for us.

This...

I am just going down the park to play some AFL with my kids.

Yeah, but that is very clever positioning by the AFL.

Google = web search
Kleenex = tissues
Breville = sandwich maker
AFL = Aussie Rules football

Anyone making a post on here/news articles about Bulldogs captain Ryan Griffin

 

[estibador]

"Ross Lyon doesn't play yoof!"

187 games to draftees since he arrived at Freo suggests differently.

 

[hutchy31]

When they think the free kick count is an accurate barometer of how effective/biased the umpiring has been....

My apologies to prolific BF contributors on game day threads.

 

[flamethrower]

Any combination of North Melbourne/Western Bulldogs/Melbourne have no supporters and should merge/relocate/fold.

 

[Admiral Byng]

If the umpiring was fair, an equal number of free kicks would be paid to each side.

Oh, she would be incredibly sad, I had a person ask me earlier this year if Byron Schammer was still on our list, hasn't been on it for a while now.

 

[Captivating]

They call a backman a defender.

When they think Priddis is a gun midfielder.
