AFL need to look into Rhys Mathieson!

[Stevienic23 1,183]

Who would have thought he'd still be around 5 years later. The bloke is rubbish and has a head like a dropped pie

[Slartibartfast 17,788]

My mate said it well. “Skunk”. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

Serial pest. 
 

Throws back his head as soon as he is tackled. 
 

Grub. 

[DeeZee 7,445]

I don’t like him

[Dr. Gonzo 24,368]

I hate it but glass houses and all that. Spargo and Kozzie have been guilty of the exact same thing this year.

LOL post-match when Hodge asked Mitch Robinson about Mathieson’s antics. Of course he’s gonna not only condone it but actively encourage it, coz Mitch Robinson. ?

[John Crow Batty 8,879]

He deserves brownie points for getting under Richmonds skin. He also played arguably his best game for the Lions.

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

I loved him last night....  that will flip on its head if he plays against us in two weeks

[Dr. Gonzo 24,368]

Lachie Hunter and Toby McLean from the Dogs are two others who do the same thing and it's annoying but it's the afls fault for refusing to knock it on the head years ago when Selwood started exploiting this tactic

My opinion is make them pay if they do it. A strong round arm tackle that cops a guy in the head because he ducks into may make him think twice about doing it again.

As mentioned above, umpires need to be held accountable and their performance reviewed.

Rules are already there for ducking and staging. They're not enforced.

This whole interepative rule of the week to be enforced swill is making the game look as stupid as Rugby Union.

The fact Selwood has got away for it for so many years is not Selwoods fault.

Yep especially Kozzie, it’s about the only thing, he needs to get out of his game, he’s to good for that sort of thing.

Spargs does go in low but l don’t think he’s looking for a free

[loges 6,767]

AFL need to look into Marlion Pickett but not for ducking

[ignition. 1,478]

Rhys "Beast Mode" Mathieson was said to call himself the barometer. I guess that's compensation for playing the medi-sub seven games in a row.

Surely he has to be one of if not the most over-hyped and useless players in the system. It's a shame to hear the commentators even give him a moment's chat.

I'm tempted to say I'm glad he played against us, he wasn't damaging at all (from a football perspective). However, he had a tendency to lay the knees into backs, knock off heads with late contact, and bodyline Gawn with no intent for the ball. I look forward to the day he's delisted.

[daisycutter 29,797]

he should have been reported for what he did deliberately to gawn

we could have easily lost gawny for the rest of the finals

Should be reported for that, but won't be because the TV commentators ignored it.

[Lord Travis 10,763]

The front on hit to Gawn was appalling. No intent to even contest the ball, just wanted to break Gawns ribs. Should’ve been reported for that. Not in the spirit of the game at all.

Mathieson is just a [censored] footballer and a [censored] bloke. What kind of arrogant piece of [censored] calls themselves the barometer or the beast, especially when they’re a fringe player who can barely get a game. Pathetic individual. Glad his serial ducking didn’t earn him more free kicks last night. He is the exact thing wrong with the sport. Cheating grub and a [censored] footballer who thinks he’s gods gift to the world. Hopefully he gets delisted and winds up stacking shelves. [censored].

Ditto from me. Harsh at the end but I get the sentiment.  Lots of average blokes playing suburban footy get in and don’t shirk or play for the ump to give them a free kick. Grub. 

[Nasher 33,617]

His opinion of himself exceeds his capability. He’s mouthy and dirty. I’d be embarrassed if he was on our team. Gross.

Agreed, intentional and gutless.

Face like a stale pancake. Wouldn’t cut it as Gary Hocking’s wingman

[4_Kent_Watts 895]

Seeing that mugs face and him twitching in line before the start of the game was another omen that happened before the start of the game that gave me heart we would win. Told the Brissy supporter at work, he plays we win. 

[Nelo 813]

Typical example of a lost clogger. 

[Cards13 9,117]

The Grub of The Year Award the last 6 years has been Toby Greene and this bloke second, daylight the rest of the field.

If he was born 300 years ago he'd bluff his way all the up to be the Kings pizz boy.

Wee are amused by this observation.

However, in poker terms, he's more your pair of twos than a royal flush.

[layzie 34,147]

He's a disruptor. Plays the game as a rule bender and to an extent thats ok but it goes too far time and time again. It could have been a very bad injury so I would have thought he'd get sighted at least.
