Round 2: The garlic Uber ride games.

[wayne]

All the fanfare over Rozee, Butters and Duursma a few years back, Rozee has kicked on, Butters stagnated and Duursma is a potato.

Why are Collingwood booing Horne-Francis?

Solidarity of the vertical stripe with North?

Because he didn't pick the Pieholes like the last SA bogan in Figjam

 

[The Big Richo]

You take things way to seriously TBR.

Probably, I just reckon it would be nice if every thread wasn't bagging everyone and everything to do with the game in every single post.

A bit of optimism can be nice as well.

Boring.

Let's really make it a challenge and go for a positive-off in the umpire's thread.

Gotta crawl before you can walk, start with a positive about Richmond and we can go from there.

Bucks said mcreery had a 30% positive kick rating. Seriously, WTF is that?

I suppose it’s better then a 70% negative one

Because *smile* him, that's why

It's how you kick compared to the competition average.

So if the comp goes at 55% on a 40 metre pass and you go at 85% you'd be 30%.

I wonder if he'll have a ice bath after the game given he got his ass handed to him all day.

 

[TigerForce]

Only positive in this game is that Cornhead will be back to his grumpy self and reality checking.

If this Scumwood wins a flag this season, I will officially walk away from this game. Just can't bear this.

Out of all the f*cking teams looking for a coach, why did Fly have to go to them.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Thank god it will only be another 15 years until Nick Daicos retires , seriously what a player , geez Ashcroft looks a ripper too, n9 I’m not telling anyone anything they didn’t know allready

Take the Pies winning over Port , Blues or Cats any day for me

 

[waiting]

Pies that good or Port that soft?

I will go with the soft Port narrative.

Absolutely horrible Port.

Already sick and tired of these f*cking Daicos'. Bad enough through the 80s ....

That’s a tough sell Mr Brighty. Tough sell.

Hate them all. Have a soft spot for McCrae and Leppa but it’s hard.

 

[TigerForce]

With all that running, any injuries for the Scum? Nuh....probably not.

 

[Baloo]

No game day thread?

 

[tigertim]

No game day thread?

There’s one started by Zips

 

[Baloo]

Ah, that's why I can see it. mods and admins really need to sort this out.

 

[spook]

I'm not sure about dropping the rule, I think the speed of the game now would risk it becoming soccer or handball. No-one would take possession because the risk of a free in the tackle would be too great, I think the ball player deserves an advantage.

To me those examples just come down to making the right decision. If the player doesn't make a genuine attempt to dispose then ping them, like they did today. Just need the fans to understand that attempt can include the ball spilling out without kick or handball and it's ok.



A highly decorated career as a Richmond great.

But 'spilling out' is all too often a euphemism for deliberately dropping or throwing the ball. It's a blight.
