By special comments I assume you mean 15 minute sentences that end up no where?

The current Law 18.10(b) in the 2021 version of the Laws of Australian Football is being too rigorously applied. It has also become a “crowd rule” where umpires are too readily swayed by the crowd.
The official wording of the law is:
18.10 A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player who:...

- (b) Kicks, Handballs or forces the football over the Boundary Line and does not demonstrate sufficient intent to keep the football in play
One goal assist, which was a miskick scrubbed along the ground, cleaned up by Lloyd before a beautiful snap around his body from about 40 metres out. I watched the game - no way was Toby in GWS's best 8 players on the day, even when the game was on the line.
Anyway, I'm being confused with someone who doesn't appreciate Toby or doesn't like watching him play (other teams besides my own
). That is not my intention, he's an absolute jet.But people get a bit carried away at times and defend him instinctively and unconditionally, which can be as bad as those people who criticise him incessantly, and there's a few of those.
I want Greene to take this finals series by the scruff of the neck and tear some oppo teams apart. He's let his team down in some finals in the past and I want to see him go next level. He turns 30 in a couple of weeks, so time is running out.
I've always said that the best way to adjudicate deliberate OOB is for the umpire to ask himself would that player have kicked, punched or run the football to that spot if the boundary line wasn't there?
If the answer is 'yes', then it's not deliberate.
If the answer is 'no', then it is deliberate.
It is a simple decision when viewed in this way.

Anyone who makes it about them not the game
When it mattered he definitley was one of the most influential players, 9 score involvments equal too and better than dustys ammmmmmmmmazing grand finals.One goal assist, which was a miskick scrubbed along the ground, cleaned up by Lloyd before a beautiful snap around his body from about 40 metres out.

Also can’t work out why teams aren’t aware right at a stoppage where the defenders are and numbers of defenders v forwards - they will have a 7 on 4 situation and still bomb it long and then have to hope their defence can sort it out.
The best teams use more handballs initially to get a clear kick that can go to a forward. Or they do a Richmond style take out the mark by making sure it bounces or is hard to mark. Other clubs just bomb it to the likes of Moore, Sicily and Andrews who take a chest mark and it gets called an intercept
I'm a relic from the 70's and 80's but cannot believe how often full time, well paid footballers run too close to the man on the mark when having a set shot at goal.
When you run too close you inevitably pull the kick and hook it.
I reckon I see it happen 5-10 times a game.

Alright, if you wanna make this about Dustin then I'm checking out of the thread.
Hahaha treading in dangerous waters there, great way to shut down a thread.

If you're not watching what other defenders are doing to impede a forward's progress to the drop off the ball then I don't know what to tell you. The blocking free to me is one of the most confusing ones out there based on how they pay/don't pay them.

The brayshaw one is hardly an unpopular opinion. It's actually a verified fact. He's a smarmy self entitled flog.

I like Brayshaw as commentator
"Bang! Bang,Bang,Bang" was good commentary for my favourite Dees moment ever and I will always cherish that
