Round 3 - other games

[IanG]

No.
The difference is that, unlike other professional competitions, they have no-one to answer to. Cricket, soccer, rugby, any "normal" sport, have other national controlling bodies looking over their shoulders, not to mention INTERnational controlling bodies. The AFL can do what they like. End of story. Why they choose to is another matter, but the main difference is that they can.

There is the Commission itself but they appear to be toothless in terms of on field matters.

Cartoon copping the gifts from the flogs?

A little, Cripps gets held off the ball - free kick. Straight after, Serong gets held off the ball, no free.

Seems like every time I tune into a game , it’s a one sided blow out

 

[22nd Man]

PRe

So he likes the new rules, but doesn't like the results of the new rules?
Is this how AFL "journalists" criticise the AFL without risking their AFL Media accreditation, or is he just a *smile* wit? Hard to tell

Even use of inverted commas doesn't help categorise Tom Brownes contribution to footy. If he was the first one to report the offical crowd size he would call itBreaking News.

 

[22nd Man]

Only ever notice her in Carlton games, which she seems to get lots of.

Freo so good last week, so ordinary the other two. Gay deceivers.

My blues mates are always complaining about her.

 

[Ridley]

Bizarre results this week. Swans smash us. Bombers smash Saints. Blues smash Dockers. Eagles beat Port easily as well although many tipped they’d win just not the ease of it. Will be interesting to see it all come out in the wash at the end of round 23.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

My blues mates are always complaining about her.

Most of the time I reckon she favours them. But I guess if she's doing a lot of Carlton games then she's involved in lot of Carlton losses so it's natural for some of the blame to go onto her.

 

[mrposhman]

I wish we got some of these decisions like Carlton are getting, very very soft (no matter what King says) free for in the back right in front of goal.

Players throwing themselves forward at the slightest hint of contact in the back in a tackle is a blight, and should be stamped out, not rewarded. That was a clear htb against Silvagni.

and yet King is saying it was clever. I think he got the word wrong, it was cheating. He threw himself forward to ensure the Freo player falls into his back, not the purpose of the rule but is constantly paid that way.

Well, King would know all about cheating, sniping thug that he was.

 

[ToraToraTora]

*smile* game.

 

[tigerman]

How clever is Walters, he just nutmegged Plowman with a handball, don't think I've ever seen that before.

 

[tigerman]

Surprised that the Blues players and fans still remember the words to their song, they haven't sung it for a while

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Come on you maggot, you have to penalise blatant throws. O'Gorman, same as last week.

 

[Redford]

Tom Green very quiet.

 

[TigerForce]

Tom Green very quiet.

Checking his Balmey SMS' too much....

 

[TigerForce]

Who'd want to coach GWS if/when Cameron goes? Too isolated from the heart of Aussie Rules.

Good to see the Canberrans out to watch our game at least.
