white line fever 👌

Wtaf, he's getting fined for that, seriously?

 

I remember this at the time. I laughed because he was on the boundary line calling for the ball. The radio commentary also had a laugh 

That is friggin hilarious 🤣

Ha ha I noticed that on the replay put pressure on the hawk player when he wasn’t actually on the ground I thought he was a bit cheeky but quick thinking.!!!

Cheeky, reckon it only got a fine after it went a bit viral.

Either way it shouldn't be the same fine as dacking a bloke

 

Seventeen other clubs have broken out into cold sweats, now that they have seen what happens when you challenge the AFL and win ...

I counted two dackings on the weekend and I’m sure neither attracted a fine. 

What a legend. 🤣

He's risen another nitch in my appreciation of him!


Very glad he didn't miscalculate and place a foot over the line.

For what it's worth, I think the fine is appropriate. If no action had been taken, players would believe they could do this with impunity. That could lead to dangerous outcomes. 

If he was already warming up around the boundary line, I reckon a heckle is ok.

But running at the player like this doesn't sit right to me, as it makes it "feel" like there is an extra defender. I don't think it's appropriate.

But as said above, exposing another player on the field should be a more significant penalty than this!


Yeah I suppose the sanction is warranted, I love that he's invested though.

It’s not a good look!! 

Agree. If left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before most bench players started lining up to scream abuse. Admire his passion though.

 

I’m not outraged.

A player could get duped and pass the ball, out on the full. Then the face palming that ensued could easily cause concussion, and we all know the head is sacrosanct.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
