Late to the party, what’s this new 50m rule when it’s a 1-2?

danger fell over after a little contact and gets a goal. [censored] joke

Yes i had no idea about this ruling

Love them or hate them, it looks like Geelong have weathered the Pies best efforts, and and now settling. Selwood - a sook and free kick hunter but one of the best captains I have seen - is now a liability.

Don’t think it’s new Dub. You can’t hold a bloke after he gives off a handball and is looking to get it back. A 50 is awarded.

Thankyou. I aim to please (and confuse).

Well I’ve watch a lot of footy and never seen it before. Maybe one if those dormant rules that’s been rejuvenated?

Years ago they paid it more regularly, they don’t pay it anywhere near enough these days.

It's fairly new (last two years or so?) - designed to stop snipers and promote attacking footy. Whether it does that... 🤷

Gee Tom Stewart makes some costly mistakes.

I believe it was brought in after an early 2010s GF where Ablett Jr either did this, or had this done to him. It's called the Ablett rule, i.e., illegally blocking a player from getting a handball receive is a 50 rather than a free to the infringed player. Rarely enforced, and usually incorrectly awarded a free to the infringed player (not a 50 as per the rule).

One actually happened to (I think Hunt) in the Dees game last night when Langdon tried to handpass to him but Hunt was impeded. Hunt got the free, but IMO it should have been 50 per the rule. It totally destroyed our momentum in that passage, which I believe is what the rule was brought in to prevent.

We got one last week.

Terrible. I am going to ch 32

[monoccular 17,678]

OMG - Selwood the ducking winger HTB, goal Collingwood .... then a second free.  Great culture Cats.

Then, Selwood again missed an easy tackle on Sidebum. 

He is going too get really angry and maybe completely loses it.

Selwood getting jeered, then run down from behind, might just be the best thing I’ll see all weekend. And I saw Langdon’s goal. 

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,323]

Hey, Selwood gave away a free kick (HTB). But who gave away the second free gifting the filth a second goal?

[Bang Bang Bang 5,850]

And an additional free against and goal to top it off. I’ve died and gone to heaven. 

[John Demonic 5,916]

Bit annoying that Collingwood look like being one of our competitors in the finals. In the sense that they might be able to make a prelim via the 5-8 route.

Geelong well past their bed time once again.  They should really demand day games only.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,323]

I think it's clear ... no Gary Rohan, no Jee-long.

tweet just came in from Chris Scott

apparently a lot of Cats team had the sniffles this morning

Pendlebury was airing his concerns to the ump about Geelong players “going to ground.” What does that mean?
