A.F.L. Thread II

Well, it was a chopping the arms free, but it shouldn't have been.

If Richmond lost tonight they would have had to (rightly) give the keys back to the AFL.

Well we didn't so gfy

 

[Spikey]

Nah, any contact was beneath the arms, it wasn't a chopping the arms free kick.

Because he didn't have his eyes not the ball the whole time, front on contact was probably right (even though that's not what was paid) - a 60/40, but I think that rule is too sensitive at times on the guy running back with the flight, you have to be allowed to try and spoil the ball from that position, as long as you aren't trying to take out the player himself.

Agree with that. It seems like however slight the contact, if you touch him after putting your eyes onto the man, you're gone. Which makes the actual decision all the more bewildering to me

Hey guys, if melbourne lose to the gold coast today.......................

 

[Jono]

thank god they won though. 9th place still on.

Unfortunately we won't reach that high. You blokes have got 9th well and truly locked in.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Man, I can't help but feeling we've missed out on about six years from one of the great forwards of the modern era with Connolly and Harvey stuffing around with Pavlich in the midfield. I know there was no Glass yesterday, but he was amazing to watch live. Mackenzie is a pretty good defender, but wasn't in the same stratosphere.

mark harvey disagrees with you


mark harvey is looking forward to playing jay schulz as a line breaking midfielder

Harley Bennell Is Our Superior

lot of people are saying this is the worst team essendon has put out since the 2009 final v the crows, but i'm a big essendon fan and i don't recall playing a final against the crows in 2009!


oh no! paul roos is here! fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

no doubt has already taken a phone call from port

 

[Jono]

Danger field vs Essendon

 

[Spikey]

slattery your time has come - you must kill patrick dangerfield and create afl history

 

[howardj]

Good god, who would want to take on the stinking hot pile of poop that is Port

 

[Spikey]

heart breaker, but good teams don't turn the ball over from a kick in and have 3 goals kicked on them

 

[benchmark00]

Huge game between North and Eseendon next week.

 

[benchmark00]

Wonder how many bones Port will throw at Malthouse. He would be out of his mind to take the role. Dennis Pagan to Carlton type stuff.

 

[Spikey]

doesn't want to leave melbourne, no?

 

[benchmark00]

doesn't want to leave melbourne, no?

Yeah he said that. Also said he'd be at Collingwood this year.

Everyone has their price.

 

[howardj]

Huge game between North and Eseendon next week.

Epic three week for your boys

Essendon, Pies, Freo

 

[benchmark00]

Could win all three.

Could lose all three.

Should be competitive against all three under the roof.

 

[Jono]

Hey Essendon, how are those hamstrings going?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Dodged such a massive bullet tonight. Would have lost by 10 goals without Dangerfield and Walker.
