Things only dumb footballers would do

[00Stinger]

What I don't understand is when two players are on the ground fighting for the ball, then one player drags it in under the other player and lies on top of him holding it to him, earning himself a free kick. Quite often they're making no attempt to take the ball from them, even when the guy underneath is trying to knock it out the player on top will continue to lock it in to him for a free kick. For me that is a dumb and counterintuitive way to adjudicate holding the ball.

Yep this.

The guy who grabs the ball (and pulls it back in) is trying to take possession of the ball in most cases, yet he is the one punished?

Seems floored

Another one shot in his mates shoe … another pissed in his own mouth

Didn't 1 (about 15-20 years ago - A Canberra player I believe) take photos of forcing his own dog giving himself a blowjob?

Edit - Joel Monaghan - 23 years ago

Furore over league star's dog act

THE NRL career of the Canberra Raiders star Joel Monaghan hangs in the balance after he admitted last night to simulating a sex act with a dog.

Tarryn Thomas should be in here.

Gets stood down after already getting training to not be a s**t human as a consequence of a Club and AFL investigation, then continues to harass women and threaten their families via text.

Scum or dumb? Take your pick.

both

Crush up their arthritis meds and put it in a small baggie so it looks indistinguishable from cocaine.
Cause, why wouldnt you?

Yeah righto

I guess “my son’s an idiot who overrated himself and instead went untraded and undrafted in both drafts” isn’t much fun to talk about.

I always scratch my head when guys run through the protected area. Could maybe understand a few years back but it’s a very black and white rule now, I don’t think you’d see Pendlebury giving away a 50 for running through.

Unsurprising that he is a “new world order”, Q anon, “trans people control the government” guy now

Ollie Henry goes home to mumma, kicks a goal and gives it to the cheers squad that cheered him for 2 years, nexminit SPLAT!
Best karma ever!

 

[Fizza]

For mine its any player that does a low percentage play or breaks a golden rule under no pressure. Eg takes a mark, has time, and kicks across the defensive 50 to a contest/poor option or further to that, kicking to a contest in the corridor when they should be going down the line when their team is in front and they don't need to take a risk to win. Also if a player is 40m less from goal on a reasonable angle and instead of taking their shot, tries to hit up a short target.

Tex reads bigfooty confirmed, took the advice on board in training.

One NRL player shat in a hallway of a motel.

That was Nate Myles and it was allegedly an accident after he got pissed and locked himself out of his room. Julian O’Neill and some of his Souths teammates did it deliberately, into a teammate’s shoe in one case

 

[Sherrinator]

When they set it up/kick from outside their range and it lands 2 meters out from goal which is an easy rushed behind.

If you can’t find a lead, Set it 15 meters out!! So when it lands it’s chaos and anyones ball.

WAY too many players don’t know their distance. They either hook it badly or set it to the goal line.

All these millions on coaching and not one coach has ever seemed to care in the modern game. It’s all defensive tactic, zone, set ups etc. How about increasing your chances of kicking a *ing goal when you have the ball anywhere within 60m of your goal?

Dumb dumb dumb.

They looking for that 7 point play

Got to be one of the most frustrating things because its so easy to avoid.

Clearly they were not focussed on the game. And it happens at least a couple of times each weekend. Every weekend. Every year since introduction.

was tackled during a round 1 game, while being tackled he bounced the ball which is of course holding the ball.

For months afterwards the smart arse bulldog video guys would slip the footage into game reviews.

Ralph Sewer (382 SANFL games with Woodville and Glenelg + 12 for SA) allegedly took a teammates hubcap off his car, had a crap in it, put it back on the wheel and then let the tyre down......

Back then (1980's) it was the footballing thing to do!

 

[PhatBoy]

Julian O’Neil pissed on a lady from an overhead pedestrian bridge

And on the leg of a casino dealer beneath the table.

He also tried to set fire to a kid in a dolphin costume on a booze cruise

On the flip side he suffered the tragedy of losing an infant when a tv fell on her and crushed her

O’Neill was one of the most gifted players I have ever laid eyes on. Just missing a couple of IQ points

 

[Freomaniac]

Surely someone can mention something what stupid stuff Fremantle Dockers players have done? LoL

He has the unique record in the SANFL. Playing career from 1969-1990.

Played in 4 decades of league football in 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s

Were you young enough to see Mark Jacko Jackson play?

If so, did he do any stupid stuff on the field? LoL
