NON-MFC: Round 03

[pitmaster 3,583]

Toby Pink giving us a clear demonstration of the yawning gap between the SANFL and the AFL. He'll need a month of counselling if he stays on McKay all day.

No they haven’t.

Its not a free when the back man touches his opponents side and the forward  holds his hand in.

It’s also not a free kick when the forward just throws one arm behind him and the umpire imagines it is being held.

Soft as butter some of their frees giving charity goals.  

when the backman holds onto the arm and stops the forward going at the contest it should be a free

every time

Some North players have to be on 200k+ more a year than they’d get at another club, just to meet their salary cap requirements.

Them and the Eagles are an example of where the minimum salary cap doesn’t work.

we were in the same position too in the post-daniher, pre-goodwin era

players being paid on potential not performance

It's not always the frees they pay, it's the ones they don't, Cripps constantly throws the ball, two handed

Norf should have a got a couple of holding the ball frees in Q1. Nothing to see ... play on !!

[Demon_spurs 1,881]

Be interesting to see if the surface of the ground contributed to Jones's injury, ive seen a few puffs of sand coming up

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,621]

North can't take a trick. They're playing Coldplay after every goal the score.

GO ROOS!!! 

[DubDee 26,191]

Hopefully Benny Brown gets some of these soft frees tomorrow

Clubs should be able to bank some of the money to help attract free agents. We’ve gotten so creative with points systems, we should allow some leeway.

Agree, but that wasn’t what I described to you on two particular incidents.

Commentators agreed btw, not that that proves anything.

Ooooooof course that's the outcome. Hey parents everywhere, the AFL condone players thumping opponents in the solar plexus unawares and off the ball. Keep that in mind when supporting your kids into a sport.

Correct. And sometimes he shrugs it out. Never penalised.

IMO the umpires appear intent on punishing North for being rubbish by rewarding Carlton every half-free kick they can find.

[Demon Disciple 12,313]

Low impact for the Pendlebury strike, seriously?

It was medium at the very least, as he floored Neale with it………..oh but wait, medium impact would mean suspension
