POSTGAME: Rd 14 vs St. Kilda

[Axis of Bob 10,500]

Nah, he's pointing at his direct opponent, who is less than 2 metres away, demonstrating that he's legally allowed where he is.

This is just before @Clint Bizkit's screenshot

Raises both arms, as if he's trying to block Kent from kicking. Which led me to panic, even if he was able to follow Steele.

Great, another thing that could have potentially broken our hearts! Turf the protected zone. 

[Dee Zephyr 18,246]

Lol, it really is amazing how quick our brains switch into MFCSS mode in the dying seconds of a close game with us in front. Must admit I was even pleading with Melksham not to do anything stupid on the mark after giving the free kick away before the Kent mark.

We've all seen too much haven't we Dee Zephyr! I was having flashes of Joey Montagna breaking the line and running into the open goal in those dying seconds!

But isn't Kent already moving off his line so play on? He quickly wheels onto his left foot

I love the food in China! So many choices and different styles of cuisine that we never get to see here. 

Not my cup of tea. Give me Japanese or Vietnamese food over Chinese any day.

You have my vote Jaded and they don't hate us either

And just quietly no wonder Freo are struggling. Last year they lost Langdon and Brad Hill. The year before Lachie Neale. That is a lot of talent to walk out of the place. 

I reckon it's a pretty big indictment on Ross Lyon as a coach. Two of the best wingers in the game and Neale has been a star for a while now.

I'm sorry, but what a dumb player. I didn't notice this at the time, but bloody hell, it's pretty clear, isn't it?

I think the umpire has to call "play on" before the player on the mark can move over it. Depending on the quickness of the umpire, that does give the player with the ball a small advantage. I'm OK with that...the player making the play should have that advantage.

I don't know how you can make such a sweeping generalisation.  I love some Japanese food and some Vietnamese food and some Chinese food.  Having been married to a Japanese person for over 20 years and having traveled there numerous times, I am more than familiar with the many different dishes (many of which are not to be found here)... some of which are, to my taste, inedible (try the dried fish called Kusaya, or Nama-ko which is a raw sea cucumber dish.  What we get here is just a fraction of what is available in those countries... particularly Chinese food (in China) as there are so many distinctly different regional dishes... and of course, to my tastes, some are almost inedible as well.

Anyway, how can we tie this in to post game discussion... kicking around the foodie's football?

To be fair, he was playing under excruciating circumstances.

[Moonshadow 16,619]

Can you image this site melting down had Kent got the 50 and kicked the winning goal against his old team?

Who hates who? Sorry to get political but you made the call. There is a saying, Scratch a Ukrainian, find a potato. Scratch a lot of Australians and you find a White Australia Policy.

Little bit of Viney bias there, AF.  And slightly harsh to call him 'dumb'.

Watch it in real time.  He pops the arms up with enough lean towards Steele that it not only holds Kent up for that extra second or two, but Viney can then also move further towards and then run with Steele, and thus he doesn't bring any attention to himself.

Giving away the free kick was stupid enough.

I did not realise that was a free kick at the time. Assumed it was on tbe full.

What was it for?

Clearly the Chinese hate us, they are the Nazis of the 21st century. The proof is being stuck up our noses on numerous occasions over the last six months. Nothing to do with racism. I have an Asian son in law and two half Asian grand children who I love dearly so don’t pull that BS on me.

I spent a bit of time in Yokosuka about 15 years ago, my favourite dish was Okonomiyakie (hopefully correct spelling). I hope to get back there one day and do some travelling. From there I went to Vladivostok where I almost got kidnapped, didn’t mind the food though.

Well, fair enough then.
