Oppo Camp Taylor Adams (Traded to Swans 2023)

[watt price tully]

Gotta admit I didn't like Grundy's chances one bit from outside 50 and when he passed to Adams I may have said 'that's even worse'. But to his credit he went back and delivered a vitally important goal. Kudos.

Yes he does it once or twice a year or two

 

[Rorzza]

Taylor has been lowering his eyes and kicking short in recent weeks, good shite, smart too!

Example today of why he isn't captaincy material.

Captains don't give away 100metre penalties when the game's on the line.

Tries his heart out but f?ck he does some stupid things on field.

You would imagine we can have Pendles for another year. Warming more and more to Maynard.

…..he was wrong too which made it worse

I’m tipping the people making the decision are taking a far more thorough, and wholistic approach to deciding if Adams is fit to be Captain.

Still apart of the criteria though for mine. Needs to set a team example not a selfish one

That’s probably why I said “an example” and not the entire reason.

The first fifty was an utter disgrace and makes a mockery of a so called elite sport. He did not move off the mark and he in no way infringed upon or held up the player with the ball. The fifty placed Hogan 25m put from goal so I'd almost support a hearty F U for such a blatantly insane decision.

When is the umpiring fraternity going to start using common bloody sense? If you umpire by the literal letter of the law , the whistle would be blown 200 times a game for minor but technically justifiable infringements

Umpire like it is the last five minutes of a close grand final with the exception of 2018 when a blatant infringement which did impede a player from contesting the ball was ignored by a coward who is still umpiring today.

 

[Anzacday]

He did not move off the mark

You might like to watch it again mate.
He clearly moved after the umpire told him to stand.
Our preference is to get “outside 5”.
However, if you are not quick enough to move you have to stand once directed to.

He didn't cross the mark. The don't move rule is as absurd as the protected area rule which was designed to stop the habit of holding up players who want to play on as was the stand rule. Yet in 99 percent of occasions when the fifty metre penalty is given, the player with the ball either had no idea the infringer was even there or was in no way prevented from playing on.
That is why I asked for common sense.
The rules are both insane and a blight on the game. It's simple. Was the player impeded or prevented from doing what he wanted to do by the illegal action of his opponent? If not then swallow your whistle even if a player happened to wander 20cm closer to the kicker than he is supposed to. If he directly impedes the players decision to play on- ping him

A light hand brushing ever so lightly across an opponent's shoulder should never be penalised as a high tackle either and usually isn't. That's called a commonsense application of the rules

You’ve shifted the goal posts here, from didn’t move off the mark and did nothing wrong, to a lengthy rant about how you don’t like the rule.
Adams moved. He was in the wrong, those are the rules now, and players know it. Common sense says you don’t argue with the umpire when you know you ****ed up and give away a second 50, if you’re going to argue for common sense.

Umpire screamed at him to stand 3 times and instead he danced around like a headless chook, everyone knows that’s 50… then starts abusing the umps and gives away another 50 which put gws within 10 points of us and 4 minutes to go… extremely poor leadership from a senior player to lose their head in a pressure moment.

I think you’re being a bit too harsh there Kap.
Adams puts his body on the line every week.

Heart & soul player.

how about the protected area non-call for Noble near the end... actual contact by another player whilst trying to take his kick, no whistle

Pretty sure that the people who vote on the captaincy are more than able to get past an on-field indiscretion. Comfortable it’s only BF posters who hold those grudges.

 

[Mollythedolly]

Still apart of the criteria though for mine. Needs to set a team example not a selfish one

One indiscretion doesn’t counter all the other selfless acts he performs during a game or even week to week.

I think umpires pick and choose when they enforce the “stand” rule. There’s generally a lot of leniency and the allowance for the player to demonstrate whether he’s standing or retreating beyond 5m. Then they’ll pull a penalty out of the hat that’s inconsistent with how it’s been umpired across the rest of the game. Ditto the remonstrating. I thought they’d moved beyond penalizing arms out if it’s not done in an aggressive manner. Can only assume he must have said something as well.

 

[OniAu]

It does when its undisciplined and all the other acts are expected of every player in the team

He put the heat on the team with what he did on the weekend , for a senior player thats not good enough

Why does it matter as long as you are jumping up and down on the mark and have not encroached by even a centimetre!

All they ever had to say was you cannot step sideways in either direction but you can wiggle your ears , raise your eyebrows or shrug your shoulders as long as you are on the mark

That is why it should be on the scrap heap along with the protected zone B S.
