What was Blake thinking
Handballing out from FB. By the way are we definitely sure its a free or should have he been made to take his kick.

Sorry you are right but i acttually had a feeling in the back of my mind he should have just had the kick again. probably wrong but anyway what was he thinking?

No it's a bounce, you can't play on without kicking the ball to yourself. Absolute brain fade by the Blake

Re: What was Blake thinking
For mine he wasn't thinking at all - and it was clear evidence that his mind wasn't completely on the job. I just don't reckon Blakey has attacked the contest nearly as hard this year. Some of his body work in packs while flying for marks looks timid by AFL standards.plugger66 wrote:Trixilver wrote:It wasn't a free, it was a bounce.

Was very frustrating because if he had kicked it, we were away and had the spare players on the fat side of the ground.

Re: What was Blake thinking
I reckon he thought that he marked the ball inside the line and simply played on, then handballed to a team-mate. Yes, he got it horribly WRONG !!plugger66 wrote:Handballing out from FB. By the way are we definitely sure its a free or should have he been made to take his kick.
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Re: What was Blake thinking
Far out cut the guy some slack , he made a blue, he does not usually do the kicking in, so he made a mistake big farking deal, this guy has and does and always will bleed RED WHITE AND BLACK for his team mates and us supporters. He has been a fantastic servant for our club. Have you ever heard him whinge or whine, has he ever been in trouble out of the club ? NO so i take my hat off to Jason Blake and say thanks for all the heart and soul that you have given and shown to the StKilda Football Club

Re: What was Blake thinking
I hadn't even thought of that. Blake probably deserved the penalty on stupidity alone. I don't buy that he thought he marked it. That said, I can't see the difference rules wise between what he did and throwing it to Dal to take the kick-in, other than intent. I hate asking umpires to judge intent. It probably won't come up again any time soon though.plugger66 wrote:... should have he been made to take his kick.
Yeah nah pleasing positive

Re: What was Blake thinking
Blake could have said he was hand balling to his teammate to kick it out ? ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: What was Blake thinking
Have the rules changed?
I recall a whilevago, someone playing on without kicking to himself,
maggot blew whistle, bounced the ball on point of the square.

That is right but he would have run outside the square without kicking it to himself. Balke handballed it before he ran outside the square.

Re: What was Blake thinking
What was he thinking? Well, obviously not much.
What I don't understand is that he is a player who has played over 200 games and played in 3 grand finals. Go figure...
