We sell $1.4 billion of products to Saudi Arabia each year. Should we stop that too?

I haven't read the full thread but surely Tassie Devils infringes on our IP and logo etc?

Well It's not ideal but they bounced the ball at the top of the goal square rather than 9m out from the middle of the goal and point post where the disputed mark/touch took place. That would have been marginally better but the whole thing is ridiculous and gave the Dogs an advantage that they didn't deserve.

18.11 DELIBERATE RUSHED BEHINDS 18.11.1 Spirit and Intention Players shall be encouraged to keep the football in play. 18.11.2 Free Kicks - Deliberate Rushed Behinds A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player from the Defending Team who intentionally Kicks, Handballs or forces the football over the Attacking Team’s Goal Line or Behind Line or onto one of the Attacking Team’s Goal Posts, and the Player: (a) is greater than nine metres from the Goal Line or Behind Line; (b) is not under immediate physical pressure; (c) has had time and space to dispose of the football; or (d) from a Ruck contest, hits the football over the Goal Line or Behind Line on the full. ok, Good get. 8.2.4 Goal Umpire (c) Unless otherwise determined by a Controlling Body, if a goal Umpire is unsure whether a Goal, Behind or no score shall be recorded, the goal Umpire may consult with the field and boundary Umpires to determine the outcome. If a decision cannot be determined following consultation, the goal Umpire shall give the lesser outcome. . If a decision cannot be determined following consultation, the goal Umpire shall give the lesser outcome. If the outcome is no score and the football remained in play, the field Umpire shall throw the football up at the centre of the Kick-Off Line. Wow. That is cooked. And needs changing right away. At worst you would say 9m out from where the disputed ball was in play NOT the top of the goal square
-
You are allowed to punch the ball through if its within 9m of the goals and you are 'under pressure' - the under pressure bit was brought in to stop Clarkson's Hawks walking the ball through the goals to concede a point
-
Yep me too. I have work to do!

I would be making a very loud complaint to the Umpiring department about that one. We are very lucky it didn't cost a goal. The umpires are now too scared to call obvious decisions like Lever's touched ball. Why did the Dogs get such a big advantage. As it was JUH got the ball and had a shot on goal which was smothered. And the number of goal reviews generally is now insane. As someone else mentioned maybe its an advertising thing. But its a terrible look for the game
-
OK I get your point I just don't agree that the defence recruitment of May and Lever was a "tactical innovation". He's done other tactical innovations like the deployment of our wings but fixing our leaky defence wasn't 'tactical' as such. It was an obvious necessity. And it was innovated by others. But each to their own.
-
Then they bounced it at the top of the square!!! Madness

I've met Oscar he's a lovely bloke Speaking of shoehorning his way into a conversation.....
-
The revisionism is that you were trying to make it sound like Goodwin reinvented the game and was prepared to trade a bona fide star Hogan for May and Lever. Blind Freddy could see we needed two rock solid defenders as defence wins flags. OMac and Frost were the worst in the league at stopping goals so it was hardly a revelation. As for Hogan, well its fair to say he was unreliable, troubled and not yet a bona fide star . I'll leave it that.

I said after the Sydney game that we will wither in the vine if we continue to ignore the short hit up kicks and bomb it in long to the fwd line. Footy Classified showed vision of doing this on multiple occasions and was scathing of us. Pleased to see this week the coaching staff turned that around completely. 129 uncontested marks against the Dogs v 60 against Sydney. Allowed us to control the game and left the dogs chasing tail on a hot afternoon. Lots of players were 'rewarded' with goals and goal assists. Its great for team camaraderie and confidence. It doesn't have to be that many every week but its something we practiced in the pre-season and it paid off. Go Dees.

Thy are appealing that? He upended MacGrath and kicked him. Wow.

Tommo and TMac were in the top 3 with Nibbler. They are similar in aerobic capacity with Tommo just shading him

He absolutely looks a player
