Who are the worst free kick stagers in the game ?

[DynamoUltra]

Angus Monfries has been learning a fair bit from Lloyd.

 

[Gman]

Kayne Pettifer has been known to take a dive or two...from a slight nudge...similar to Lloyd, but Lloyd just has that poise when he falls over...

 

[pharro]

Boy, did you miss the point of this thread.

I reckon 90% of posters missed the point. They are all nominating players who get lots of free kicks because they receive unfair tagging, blocking and holding treatment, and sometimes these obvious incidents are not seen by the umpires so the player lets the umpires know about it. How is that staging? Maybe whinging but not staging.

 

[Shads]

I think the lack of defense of Lloyd by Bomber fans

I think it's more like why bother as we hear it over and over all the time, more so from just hate or bias than fact.

 

[The Fireman]

Until St Kilda wins a flag no one in the wider football community will be able to take them seriously.

Hmmm deflection.

How does it lessen the savvy of the supporter anyway you can't be taken seriously if you don't think Loyd isn't the worst stager.

as I said you guys can't be taken seriously, be honest, if so many people are saying Loyd how can you put it down to hate or bias, that's just plain stupid.

Fess up and admit he is the No 1 stager.

 

[Merv]

In order

Lloyd
fevola
Franklin

Hooray, we have found a reasonable Ess Supporter. This man can be taken seriously.
Cheers.

I reckon this sums it up nicely:

According to this view, sports like soccer are for "do-gooders"; players who are tripped "lie on the ground writhing in pain in an un-Australian way". Better to be a thug than a wimp. Since when, though, in the macho world of the AFL, has staging for free kicks, diving and collapsing in a heap Matthew Lloyd-style as if struck by a sledgehammer, been "the Australian way"?

 

[Shads]

Show me some facts that prove he is No 1 and then I'll consider it.

How about majority opinion?

 

[Shads]

How about majority opinion?

All very well but not a proven fact just as you say opinion.

Lloyd stages yes but as for No 1 my opinion as seems that is what we are going on is he is not the worst.

Who then?

My be just "opinions", but +75% of people can't all be wrong....

Then your opinion is against the majority.
Ask anyone in the street or anywhere for that matter who is the biggest stager and they will say Lloyd, I think bias has a lot to do with your thoughts on the matter.

 

[Shads]

Who then?

There are a few and how do you come up with 75% is there a poll?

I didn't say Lloyd doesn't dive just that untill someone can give be proven facts that he is the worst then it's just hate or bias.

 

[JKCeagle]

If you can actually provide more than two examples of LT staging I'd be surprised. He did it, got busted on prime time TV and now has a reputation.

Given that he's been in the league for 1 season there obviously isn't a plethora of examples unlike Lloyd, Fevola etc...but I guess that fact the times he dived were in such a ridiculous fashion (and as you said, he got called out on national TV) makes him stand out a bit.

 

[Shads]

I think the same about your thoughts.

 

[The Fireman]

I think the same about your thoughts.

Why would I be biased ? It is as plain as day who is the worst.
Hmmm I'm afraid you fall into the category of one of my earlier posts.

If you look on the first page i said lloyd

The team that someone supports doesn't control their personality

 

[jerry springer]

Lloyd

 

[ant555]

Until an Ess supporters names Loyd No1 I just won't be able to take them seriously.

Matthew Lloyd 231 games.
202 free's for.
228 free's against
Yep he gets a shocking good run from the unpires. No question.
Now he does take a dive. I won't or can't argue with that but he doesn't get as much out of it as people asume he does.

This is why I've said I don't think he is No 1 but seems opinion on BF counts more than facts.

I'd agree with that

No thats just your opinion.

 

[walhawk]

If Lloyd didn't dive so often he might get some more frees.

"It's the wolf, it's the wolf!'

He is a disgrace to the game.
