he would hope to be absent for that one or he's going to be permanently marked with the exact shape of tristan xerri's hip bone in his temple

This isn't remotely comparable to the Maynard incident. Maynard was clearly going for a smother, maybe he should've gotten rubbed out for negligence but it was fundamentally a football action. The only possible explanation for Webster's actions in this incident are that he wanted to do as much...

Jy got concussed so many times last year a lot of us were worried he might have to retire. This could genuinely end his career.

Hadn't seen this one until just now. Can't imagine how they think that consitutes a report, Keath ran back with the flight of the ball and didn't do anything to protect himself while getting in the path of Lynch who was speeding in the opposite direction, preparing to leap and moved to protect...

i don't think the fact that sheezel went to ground makes it medium impact, sheezel went to ground because of the impact of mckay's lower body running into his, the high contact didn't knock him significantly at all. it was a late hit that deserved to be a free, should get off if they challenge it

Based on the Logue decision last week it wouldn't surprise me if he gets weeks, but the impact was negligible. Was a free kick and nothing more

Obviously a lot of decisions in our game are hard to call one way or the other, and sometimes a team can just suffer a string of bad luck that isn't a result of anyone's fault or intention. I think for the most part, that's what happened tonight. We can make jokes about Carlton's mafia money or...

1. The siren doesn't signal the end of the game, the umpires do. 2. You can't accurately judge the timing from TV coverage. The sound is not in sync. If you've ever been to the footy then you'll know that when there's a big thump, you see it long before you hear it because light is faster than...

should've called it Bye Bye Brad: Electric Boogaloo

have you never seen a senior player give a younger guy a bake for giving away a clumsy free?

Umpires feel an instinctive fear response during direct eye contact. Mason's sunglasses must have saved him in this instance.

Today Luke Davies-Uniacke gave Jack Mahony a spray for giving away a free, and the umpire thought he was talking to him and paid the abuse 50. So that's a fun unintended consequence, you have to wait until the umpire's out of earshot before speaking too harshly to your teammates, or the umpire...

i wouldn't hate it if they introduced this, but big goals from outside 50 are already exciting, and you'd incentivise players to take lower% shots rather than potentially leave 3 points on the table. not sure it'd be good for the game

to be fair, that's always been the president's job

would love to know where this phrase came from. i've always found it ridiculous, the purpose of the holding the ball free kick (along with all free kicks) is to penalise a player for breaking the rules, there's no "reward" about it. are we going to start talking about rewarding the fall when a...

So the force was with us then?

If it's only on the 0, you get 0 points.

Because this thread was totally a shot at Geelong?

The bad umpiring went both ways. You weren't "reamed" at all.

Re: MRP is going to be huge Good to see Delaney, Thomas and Goldstein all available, they're so important to us

I shot someone and didn't get arrested. The police's fault.
