just out of pure curiosity...... ......but how many wins did you forecast at the beginning of the year?

make sure you cc the afl too

i sorta half agree with this........err on the side of caution.....if it looks like a throw it's a throw but they seem to show no inclination to get tough....in fact quite the opposite again, why i would like to see some forensic evidence.....to quantify the problem

well, i suppose like most things, the afl won't do anything about it until tyhey can admit it is a problem. which they won't do without irrefutable proof. that is why i said previously that i'd like to see a scientific forensic analysis of real footage to quantify the issue (one way or the other). ideally the afl would undertake this but any group like champion data, ch7, sen etc could do this.

i wish they don't exist.......even i can't always tell these days without the aid of video.....some apparent throws are actually technically handballs and some seemingly valid handballs turn out to be throws i'm afraid the players have got too good and quick at disguising it......and we keep seeing more and more throws.......and you, me and many others get more incensed

then if it's a draw the team with most shots on goal is the winner that'd encourage a bit more attacking! won'y happen of course

i never said i liked it, red. but it's happening and won't go away. they'll never bring in video reviews. so what is your solution?

throwing the ball has become endemic in the game. either the super quick throw off the toes simultaneous with ball contact or the many dubious over the head etc throws. the problem really is that these throws are so fast the umpires are either unsighted or don't have slomo vision. i would love the afl to have a scientific forensic study of video archives to properly analyse this issue but i don't think the afl care or have a solution. all they want is continuous flow regardless of rules. this is also why scrimmages are allowed to go on and on and why players with the ball and no prior are given endless time to get rid of the ball. it may be the only solution is to admit defeat and l throwing to be legal....but only if it is a two-handed throw (i.e. no nfl style throwing what do posters think?

ethan was 18 at the time.....he had a very arrested development

wasn't that where the great stuart spencer came from?

lygon street wil be bizarro land on monday/tuesday

my 2nd in 4 weeks, od people complain about % fully vaccinated but forget that mandatory 12 week wait after 1st is a loooong time anyway, i'd prefer more people on 1st jab rather than being on 2nd

do both

may the best diving team win or maybe another hand of god? win or lose wembley will be torn apart

maxy meets nichols

only viney's 2nd game back after a long break off......give him a bit of time, he's still got credits

omac? never knew he could sing

i really do hope so, but i'm not counting on it b brown hasn't played a good game for years now

sadly i don't think b brown will make much difference i'd prefer the other brown actually

my kingdom for a goal kicker
