Incorrect call. A player getting tackled has to dispose of the ball and he did. Didn’t change direction. Bemarrassing = Bemusing and Embarrassing. At a umpiring seminar we attended deliberate was a topic. One of the examples shown was similar to Howard’s. Most people automatically said deliberate. ...

No I did not, again that is you imbecilic view which is your perception of reality.

Do not forget I am the ‘soul’ voice of this forum!

Go ask a N umpire what the actual rule is. An AFL umpire adjudicated the decision and correctly paid a free kick. Wrong AGAIN Curly! But Curly knows Football :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Perhaps it was an AFL conspiracy against the Saints? Or was it the umpires cheating again? An AFL u...

Will be highlighted in the match review Things like that are the epitome of toughness Had no impact at all, never got a touch after that incident. It knocked the stuffing out of him! 100% correct, Lonie deserves some respect for his fearlessness. Lonie has never lacked endeavor or courage, for a gu...

In the rooms after the GC Suns game he (Marshall) could barely put weight on his foot, he was moving like it was broken or he had a large sliver of glass in it. Billings was limping but moving ok. To a layman (me) who clearly knows nothing about medical or footy injuries, Marshall looked like he nee...

And you’d be incorrect no offence.

Wrong again Curly, learn the rules.
You do not understand footy at all.

Accurate. And Joffa, if you don't think the umps had an impact on the outcome of that game you need to watch it again. 93 posts from you and the majority of them directed toward poor umpiring or bias against the Saints, extremely Curly like in your input. Not sure I’m the one who needs to rewatch t...

Perhaps move him to the back pocket to play on the resting ruck man?

Same situation will be deliberate 99 out of 100 times.
Clearly a free in my humble opinion.

I watched Roo warm up pre match and at training many times and he rarely missed shots at goal. Simulation of game fatigue and pressure is almost impossible at training. Perhaps sprint a 50, take a shot with 5 teams mates screaming abuse at you. When coaching cricket 25 years ago (much to the anger o...

I would’ve called it deliberate every day of the week And you’d be incorrect no offence. No, he's right, as were the umpires. Again though, a stupid rule that could be easily amended to the standard every other ball sport uses. If you are that close to the boundary and pick the ball up and are tack...

Not to mention what appeared to be a 30 second allowance when the Geelong player was about 70 metres from goal - the shot clock did not come up so obviously no one else thought he was having a shot. Good call, opposite of Marshall who was going to have a shot and was called play on. Do you need to ...

Personally I think the level on interpretation of rules makes the game borderline impossible for a human to adjudicate the game correctly and consistently. The speed, the angles, the various interpretation required to make split second decisions. I don’t think the umpires cheat or are incompetent (l...

Appalling from start to finish. The moment we wrapped Selwood up spun him 360 no free then tackled again only to see the ball dropped no free. We tackled like possessed men with no reward 85 tackles for basically zero. Hill legged no free but holding the ball. Ryder jumps in the ruck free against g...

Pass, no interest in this.

Lonie WTF 🤦‍♂️ We have no option to cupboard is bare. Our injuries have really exposed our lack of depth and quality on the list. Kent is in poor form and coming back from concussion. Dunstan not AFL standard. McKenzie recovering from calf injury. Woods not AFL standard, he was a terrible pick up H...

So did he have 4 years with a trigger for a 5th or 5 years?
Both get reported.

Do the right thing Hannebery and retire.

As a side note I posted on Saturday - I was told the Suns expect Ben to be playing in Melbourne in 2023 but Saints weren't front runner for his signature at this point in time.
