Look who’s telling someone to deal with it then calls our club f***ed.

You’re a piece of work.

Yes, maybe.

It’s a bit of a grey area.

He was not in possession of the ball when he went behind the post. It was a throw.

I'm a fan of letting that go. Probably a throw, but he has intentions of kicking it.

There isn't much great in AFL these days... Let's enjoy a highlight. It was bloody good. And very, very smart.

If you count that as a throw a heap of double grab marks need to be called as throws.
To be a throw he has to be deemed to have given away possession otherwise it is dropping the ball.
If you drop the ball and accidentally kick the ball before it hits the ground it is deemed a kick.

So should we have drafted him instead of Clark or Coffield ?

It a good debate to have but I would have picked him over Coffield. Not saying Coffield wont be a gun, he looks like he will be but we need some one who will kick goals rather than another HBF. Jack Higgins was the best at U18 for a reason and I would have picked him and Hunter clark as Hunter is already in the midfield which we need . Coffield will be an awesome defender and I am not unhappy with him but we have so many HBF and no small up forward that is kicking goals like Higgins.

I remember Carl Ditterich was the most hopeless set shot kick for goal.
Instead of releasing the ball to fall under gravity or directing the ball to his foot he would lift his forearms and hands before releasing the ball.
The ball would initially rise upwards before falling towards his boot.

He was never called for throwing.
A true gentleman he was only reported 19 times for not being polite to opponents.

Can't agree. We have too many smalls already. Steven, Gresham, Sinclair, Long, Lonie. Can't go in with so many (plus Higgins). We are beaten by big-bodied mid-fielders. Higgins is good but not for us.
