Excellent first post and I wholeheartedly agree. 

Astonishingly, I haven't seen anyone else mention it. 

A few of us mentioned it in the game day thread.

King on 360 highlighted the number of throws by the Bulldogs on the weekend. A week too late but at least it's now been talked about.

Yep. They are so obvious.

Quickest hands in the west...

 

I cringed when I wrote that, and yet I still posted it. I have issues...

Fine with me rpfc.

Imagine if they had their full back line in. With our delivery into our 50, we may not have even scored

I don't get the hate for King at all. He's criticised us when we've been [censored], and he's one of few media commentators really pushing our gameplan this year as something promising.

Brownie points for pointing out the ridiculous throws that the Dogs get away with. Boggles my mind how the media never focus on these topics.

I've noticed the bullies using the annoying Hawthorn tactic of impeding by standing next to the man on the mark. I'd be happy to see it removed from the game or is it "if you can't beat em join em?"

Regret nothing.

Its a 9 point goal in my competition (over 55's vets). Asked the umpire was it dropping the ball if tackled and he said no. Admittedly we have a few different rules cause we are old farts. IMO its dropping the ball because nobody does a drop kick in the AFL. Bill Barrett was the last one I saw do one in about 1968. Almost landed in the centre circle from a kick out (no square in those days)

There is no dropping the ball rule. Hasn't been for years.

its incorrect disposal

It's not so much "hate", it's holding him to account. 

Last year he said the Saints wouldn't win a game, this year he said Melbourne would win 5 or 6, because he couldn't "see where the improvement was going to come from", and he also said Hogan would prefer to play with Freo's midfield in years to come over the Dees.

He regularly makes a goose of himself.

I am old. I still watch Fitzroy, Footscray and South Melbourne. And I still yell "ball" !

He also forecast North and Dogs to slide out of the 8. He annoys me because he sets himself up as the master tactician and all around expert. Love watching his forecasts to then see them regularly wrong.
