That deliberate out of bounds was the worst I’ve seen in my life, what a shocker 

[brendan 3,417]

Giants are $2.35 against us next week 

[dl4e 5,645]

Why was Kennedy awarded that mark.

Shocking deliberate against the Giants

I’m still laughing my head off, came off the outside of his shin for crying out loud. A minute later Shiel’s kick was more deliberate and nothing.

That umpire should be sacked or have the decency and retire, bloody wowee ?

If you choose to soccer it off the ground then pay the price if it goes wayward. Why should umpire have to guess the intention of the player.

We taught the swans how to kick for goal poorly.

Nah mate, that decision was horrific, I don’t know why you wouldn’t agree.

Because the rule is quite literally 'deliberate out of bounds'. It has to be the intention of the player to get the ball out of bounds.

Too often a miskick is adjudged deliberate.

"it was horrific' isn't reasoning. Here's my expansion. Umpire cannot see the face of the player to guess if he deliberately kicked it to the boundary or not, all he can see is a player hacked it towards the boundary. Why do we want the umpire to have to look if it was an accident? Do you want him to ask the player? It's different to a long bomb that BOUNCES to the left away from its original path.

Yeah but I’m a long suffering Melbourne fan there’s a difference. 

[Dee Zephyr 17,990]

Davis back on but limited as Griffin off icing the upper leg, Finlayson off with an ankle and Lloyd off with an eye injury. Talk about getting crucified with injuries in games.

It scraped off the side of his shin, if he isn’t sure and can’t see it (which was the case obviously) then he can’t and shouldn’t adjudicate deliberate. It was a terrible decision. 

[Gorgoroth 12,352]

Giants down to no bench or just Davis with a dodgy back.

so many injuries.

Are GWS playing that well? Haven’t been watching closely

Maybe it's just me and what I want to see. I don't want to see unskillful hacks rewarded with the benefit of the doubt. Player made a choice to not pick it up, should wear the consequences of where it goes.

Cruelled by injuries. Saved by dodgy Sydney kicking

[Mickey 4,197]

And here come the swans

All good mate. I can understand your theory if he’d flushed it and it went out, but it just came off the side of his shin, not even at an angle consistent with the direction he intended. Also, not sure there’s anything in the rules about hacks and soccer kicks? Tigers have this as part of their game plan. Anyway, good discussion, let’s hope GWS get bruised and battered here ?

It being a slow saturday and not wanting to have too much football on my mind, I went and saw a daft movie.

As I was going in I had a little chuckle and a raised eyebrow of hope at the quarter time scores with Freo ahead of Geelong.

By the time I came out, Freo had done about as well as the "charming bromancey nerd trope" minor characters did against the megashark.

There are moments you should just look away.

So don’t rate the movie? Was going to watch it tomorrow

It delivers what it promises and has a fun time doing it. I'm not regretting seeing it even though 'fright' movies aren't my usual thing.

Most importantly, it definitely worked for holding my attention and keeping my mind off footy!

Maybe the Freo players were watching it too? Their minds definitely weren't on football for the same period.

Syd v Hawthorn is going to be a ripper next week
