North:

Beat Sydney
Beat Port
Beat Eagles and Dockers at Subiaco
Getting smashed by Adelaide

Greatest trolling team ever.

Not really the umps fault that the rule is ratsh*t.

When did this 'genuine attempt' sh*t originate? I noticed it started to get popular in 2012, then it was amplified by 100 last year. It really is a blight on the game, and then they try to introduce more ratsh*t new rules to counteract it

Can kind of see what they're trying to do, stop players just smothering the ball, or locking it in to themselves, to stop momentum etc. Frustrating when you have the numbers and the opposition player just holds it in the tackle to slow down the play and cause a ball-up.

But now the umpires just see every tackle like that. Too cynical about the player with the ball.

4 goals down is getting smashed? We made that up in less than 10 minutes last week

 

[Jonno94]

BOG: Umpire. Got North right back into it. Absolute class gifting them a goal in the goalsquare.

btw Eddies goal looked in from the wide shot imo.

lol

They've overcomplicated the rule way too much. Should be as simple as Prior opportunity? Holding the ball. No prior? Ball up.

Of course there will be people that take advantage of the rule just like every other rule, but it's so much better than the ridiculous pileups we get now from waiting for the tackled player to put on some bizarre mime act then blowing the whistle.

North must be hellish to follow, holy hell

Tell that to the poor ol Tugga fans

I for one enjoyed Eddie Betts' little rib-punching episode in the first quarter

Don't forget they trolled the **** out of Richmond last week...

Anyway Crows are a much better side with better leaders so I'd be surprised if North did a last week. Wtf is up with them though, good side but would be 80 points down if they ran into a red-hot team in the finals and pulled that out. Thompson is a brilliant rebounder but he's just not strong enough for the Clokes, Hawkins and Walkers of the comp.

 

[SA HAWK]

Great run by Atley.

 

[HBF]

Here come the Roos?

 

[Rod Stroker]

Kerridge. They must bring him out of the SANFL seconds just to play us

 

[Pusswah]

Wow, this is why people weren't heaping on the praise in that "Are the roos top 4/serious contenders this year" thread v0v

 

[Kakkle]

Time to sub Pee Tree into the game.

 

[Atley]

Harvey is goal hungry

 

[Hinkstuff]

Kerridge. They must bring him out of the SANFL seconds just to play us

He's played every game this year.

 

[tige19]

Are you ******ed? Was Roughy in peak form in his first month back after returning from Achilles surgery?

Yep, looks slow, very slow

 

[CrazyJoeDevola]

3rd kick into man on the Mark.. wtf

 

[TARANTULA]

Boomer carries this team every week I swear.

 

[Donakebab]

Boomer pushes a team mate out of the way, ignores others in better positions and kicks the goal himself.

Classic Boomer.

 

[Rod Stroker]

He's played every game this year.

And done bugger all. Till tonight

 

[SterlingArcher]

Gave Ablett a bit of a run the other week, but any old SANFL seconds player can do that...

Got to get more out of Petrie, Ziebell and Adams - 2 kicks between them, these blokes are leaders?? (Ziebell and Petrie in leadership group at least).

Hes a horrid little creature

Lol **** off you obviously don't watch Adelaide. Very quickly made a name for himself as a very tight competitive tagger

 

[Tatts22]

A square up would have been a free in the goal square

Sydney and Dockers were in terrible form.
Eagles are terrible against anyone not in the bottom 4
Port was there only impressive win but they always beat them
