  1. Kossie needs a spell on the ball just go get involved.
  2. Rubbish free kick though. The Saints player was desperately tracking the ball and then Danger runs over the top of him. Hey dangerous [censored] happens sometimes.
  3. Surely 41 points is defendable in the last quarter? Although I know we lost from that lead 42 pts against Sheedy’s Essendon, back in the late 90’s I think. Swans just need to manufacture 2 goals early to stamp out any comeback.
  4. Channel 7 just clarified the situation. If the umpire sees the ball hit the camera or cables it should be a ball up. If they don’t see it, it’s play on of course. So in this case it seems all 4 umpires didn’t see it!
  5. Yes saw that. The ball should have been called dead immediately and then a ball up. But no, it’s play on. Umpires not having a great night.
  6. And where was Dusty in the last 10 minutes? The Tiges had a fair share of it in their half forward but Dusty, no where to be seen when he would normally turn a tight game on its head.
  7. Umpires have decided to break the deadlock.
  8. Yes that is not what the rule was brought in for. The guy was caught cold and they both went forward in the tackle. Free kick holding the ball FFS.
  9. And the few times we do switch from the full back line, the second and third overlap players aren’t there for it to succeed, instead the first receiver on half back stops and has to identify a target as the opposition floods back. We don’t seem to have a set play for it, where a number of players would know to just run to space as soon as they see the first move.
  10. Yep. Remember Grigic played 90 AFL games, that’s 90 more than most here. I remember in my 20’s lining up at half back on a 16 year old Con Goridzidis who only managed 30 games for St Kilda. I think he had kicked about 4.6 before I was dragged off him at quarter time! He was just so much faster and stronger at 16 than the other 35 adults playing, it was extraordinary. Finished kicking about 8.10 I think.
  11. Huh? It’s a hypothetical question.
  12. We couldn’t play both forward?
  13. I would rather it was a legitimate shirtfront that took him out. But is there such a thing anymore? Oh sorry think it’s a No, unless you are executing a flying smother, front on at high speed and turning your shoulder 90 degrees to maximise the damage at impact.
