What's worse than 'diving' to get a free kick?

I don't ever like getting into the your team/my team tit for tat rubbish, but does the OP remember Simon Black's sterling baskbetball effort a few years back?

I'd actually like to see players appealing for frees to be banned from the game. Let the players play, let the umps make their call. Only time a player should be allowed to plead a case is touched through goals, where a video review is an option.
 
Boomer Harvey 20 mins or so into the last quarter. Gets a questionable holding the ball decision. Knows the umpire is behind him, so deliberately knocks the ball out of Priddis' hands, and then throws the arms up and asks for the 50, feigning that Priddis has thrown it away.

Gets the 50.

At best, it's the equivalent of diving to get a free kick. And we're not a big fan of that sort of thing in Australia.

At worst, it's blatant cheating.

Seriously Boomer, great way of losing respect of the average footy fan.

 
Only a clown wouldn't. He claimed a mark that hit the ground, is that not cheating?

There was an umpire 2m away from the LeCras mark with a good view. Clearly he thought he held it long enough. The umpire was blindsided in the Priddis incident and Harvey hit it away and then claimed Priddis did it. :rolleyes:

Right, so if there was an umpire on the other side who saw Harvey poke the ball, suddenly he's no longer a cheat? Brilliant work Holmes.

No he didn't he asked the Boundary umpire if he held it. So in other words he guessed that he marked it.

Keep making shit up to suit yourself.

Josh Kennedy claimed a mark after he shoved Scott McMahon in the back, under your interpretation definite cheating. A non-decision he kicked a goal from of course, but you keep telling yourself the Harvey decision cost you the game LOL!

The fact that your players choked is more of a disgrace than anything Harvey did. Tried to play like millionaires in the last and got found wanting.

Not gonna talk about Fremantle, because really who gives a shit.
As for West Coast, they have played only two teams in the top 8 and got pumped by one of them.
 
Are WCE fans serious?
I don't really condone what Harvey did but West Coast are the worst culprits in the league of drawing unwarranted frees and looking for an advantage.
I'm aware my team also does it and has achieved similar sly things. WC fans need to get the f over it.
People love to be outraged.
You included, getting all outraged about Eagles supporters having a whinge.
 
You are right, lack of education is holding you're whole club back.
I just thought it would be funny to point out that it's "your".

I have nothing to actually add to this conversation.
