Round 15 - Non MFC Games

[praha 11,240]

Last night was an absolutely amazing contest.

Mainly because the umps let so much go. They just let them play. Long passages of play without any stoppages, players working tirelessly to get into space and take the game on. It was a great performance by both teams (bar Collingwood's first 20 minutes and their forward entries in the last 5).

How many soft high tackles, slides, holding the mans and in the backs did they let go? Wet conditions, scrappy contest: they let them play.

Great game to watch. Reminded me of '90s football.

Just saw the Adams video incident for the first time

Angry little sh!t isn't he...

Exposed temple area. Very dangerous.

Should get a long holiday but it won't happen

The broadcast deal stipulates that. The AFL want the players on TV. Means the incident is forgotten quicker

Cynical attitude?

Yep....

Yes, was a cheap dogs act by Adams. Not just once either. If he gets off, it certainly sets a bad example to other levels of footy

[Seraph 1,824]

Adams wont get off.

It'll be intentional, high contact with low/medium force.

If it's medium force I think it goes directly to the tribunal?

Whatever happens, it'll probably be 3 weeks down to 2 with a plea, although it deserves 4.

What a tower of strength and great leader is Travis Boak!

He consoled Ollie and other players last night, looked after his coach during the week, did interviews before and after the game, gathered the whole club in the rooms to sing the song. (BTW, I thought it was neat they sang it as their tribute even tho AFL had asked clubs not to).

He showed similar maturity after Port lost John McCarthy.

Boak strikes me as an extraordinary young man. Not as experienced but up there with Hodge as one of the very best captains IMO.

Not a bad player either

Boak is awesome. Remember when they were a rabble, lost a coach and president and so he re-signs. The next year they totally turned it around. Boak, Hinkley,Koche.

Your underestimating our very own who i think is up there with the top 3 in the competition.

Personally i thought it was disrespectful to play their stupid 'never tear us apart' song. I also disagree with them singing their team song. Why should they be any different to all clubs who paid their respects last week?

What a refreshing change for a Friday night game?

Carlton's playing tonight.

mick's still got pull and he's no longer the coach

Like you, I believe he has got his fingers in quite a few pies.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,408]

His did Richmond ever beat the Swans and Freo.

[Sir Why You Little 37,133]

What a rubbish first Quarter...

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,408]

Tigers only won last week thanks to some dubious umpiring late in the game.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Over umpired and just a sh*t game of footy.

[Nasher 33,617]

Tigers only won last week thanks to some dubious umpiring late in the game.

Last week I thought Richmond were smashed by the umpiring all game and got the inevitable square-up in the last term. They won because GWS were even more putrid than they were. It was a shocking game, and this one's not much better. The Tiges are lucky they haven't come up against strong opponents in the last two weeks.

[rjay 25,092]

A shocker....

The decisions in this game???? what are Evans & Campbell doing to this once great game.

[dazzledavey36 55,359]

Shocking game and shocking umpiring.

[dazzledavey36 55,359]

And Cotchin is a soft little sniper! Cant stand the [censored].

[Gorgoroth 13,023]

For all those who want us to get Yarran, I hope you are watching him.

Over. Rated!

[rjay 25,092]

...and for those

Beat me by a half second...

He would thrive under Roos just like his little mate has.

Id still take him.

[Gorgoroth 13,023]

This game rivals us vs lions last year as worst game I've seen.

Such deplorable skills by both sides.

I've never liked him, I really hope we don't chase him.

Carlton are [censored] terrible and the Tigers are a joke as well. I have no idea how this side can roll teams like Freo and the Swans.

[daisycutter 29,740]

what a fantastic game of football
