Non-Lions discussion 2023

[M Malice]

Was that a deliberate interchange breach

 

[scoman]

Don't the Kangaroos know that Harley Reid is going to be the best player in the history of the game?

Well played in the end by the Roos well played indeed

 

[Nunez]

That is the most Norf thing ever.

 

[Hollow Knight]

That was either taking Norfing to a new level, or one of the most cynical ways to tank I have ever seen.

 

[Lace Out]

How strange

Crows getting slaughtered by the Dogs... they will be fired up for next weekend.

After being praised by the media all week and proclaimed as being priemership contenders they were pretty average.

Yeah it sucks playing teams coming off beltings, or huge wins, or close losses

 

[Nathan Barley]

Rankine could get a week for a high bump

 

[aj1992]

Holy shit how did Sydney make the GF last year?

Playing a team that got belted is fantastic!

But it fires them up

Would that last for the duration.Self-doubt is constant.

Hope he doesn’t, went in for the ball side on as everyone is told to do.

Shouldn't be telling people to do that

 

[mattsmob]

Shouldn't be telling people to do that

Shouldn’t be telling people to turn their body when going for the ball?

 

[Lace Out]

Don’t blow this Freo

Not if an opponent gets there first like the bulldogs player did

 

[MSB ROYS]

Don’t blow this Freo

Geelong 3 goals - two from frees and one from a very borderline 50. Very lucky. Freo are in this game but need to make the most of their opportunities.

Just watched it again and still don't think Rankine has done anything wrong, only way he could've avoided contact was to not go for a ball that was there to get. Just a footy collision for mine.

Footy collisions have been suspendable for quite a while

It's on "the list" IMO.

• North Melbourne makes a 76th interchange.
• Dean Bailey taking a dominant James Frawley off Riewoldt. Riewoldt then kicks 3 goals on Lynden Dunn.
• Dean Bailey moving defender Brad Miller in to the ruck and ruckman Paul Johnson into to the backline. Richmond come from behind to win after the siren.
• Demons inexplicitly using 18 less rotations than their average. Commentators note how fatigued the Melbourne players look in the 4th quarter.
• Pagan benches Fevola after he kicks his 6th goal
• Dean Bailey benching Liam Jurrah in the third quarter after he caught fire and kicked 2 goals. Didn't come back on until late in the fourth.
• Carlton decide not to tag the incredibly dangerous and incredibly taggable Travis Johnstone after consistently tagging him to good effect in previous games. Johnstone has 42 disposals and a goal.
• Fevola being put in for pinky finger surgery with 2 rounds to play.
• AFL releases statement that there is no evidence of tanking, then fines a club $500,000 for "not tanking" while board members of said club were openly bragging and winking to sponsors about tanking.

 

[TS13]

North fans acting like there's a conspiracy against them because they have "never seen that free kick paid before". No shit, you're the first club that can't count properly...

I don’t see why the interchange umpire doesn’t just put up the crime scene tape so the player trips before he gets to the field. “Says nah Mate, you’re done”

 

[Lace Out]

Looking like the Cats will be bottom four
