Come on, Blues! You bloody marshmallows. 

Both Oz and indo are a bit rough but I did not know you could tackle a payer around the waist and throw them to the ground 

Oz 1.  A penalty given after review 

Martin Boyle is a great Scottish Australian but 

I don’t thing he has ever lived here

2 nil

Blues have done well to wrest back momentum after Hawks looked like pulling away

Has anyone else noticed that the Advantage rule has changed interpretation?

it seems that simply all the players stopping and requesting clarity on the free is no longer a problem. As long as one of the team wants to take the advantage.

5–10 Seconds later, “Play on”, No problem. 

But, it seems, not all the time.

Which is one of the lovely reasons why we love this game????

How was that not 15?

Umpires all of a sudden paying throwing the ball against Cripps.

The TV commentary is totally embarrassing. Barracking for Carlton. Hawthorn missed two set shots. Now Carlton are the heroes. And so good”.

4 of Blues 5 goals from frees and if Acres kicked accurately would be 5 free goals from 6.

 

Blake Acres. The player that Viney kicked it straight to. Kept us out of the prelim in 2023.

It’s the worst ‘rule’ in the game. As there is zero consistency. 

Walsh took the advantage for the Blues,  scored and it was brought back.

Other times everyone stops and the ump yells play on. Can we create an actual rule around this aside from the ump does whatever?

Big turnaround. Hawks look down by 16, score review and now only by 5.

They’re paying every 5th throw, 3rd trip, and 4th high tackle.

It is making it hard to keep up.

After a strong start by the Storm Penrith coming back 14-10

Indonesia's new very expensive coach may not last long.

The Indonesian league was known for some vicious fighting between fans but things seem to have cooled down a little in recent years

Redleg, you're kidding if you think the Blues have had the rub of the green.

I was trying to work out how Carlton was ahead. I thought there might be something that we could employ against the Hawks.

But if we are relying on free kicks in front of goals, well then, we’re [censored]-ed.

You’re right. So I think that means that we will just play it like it is for the next 10 years

It seems to be that you have to stop, in order for the ump to say, “play on”.

Fair cop. I hate Hawthorn

And in the spirit of synchronicity it's half time in all three matches

I have a real problem, I as can’t stand either of them, but Carlton will always be my most disliked. Can’t stand the club.

For me it's Hawthorn, Essendon and Geelong

Great play hawks 

Talking…they always had a free man…

There you go! Just happened again with Newcombe but he was called back.
