The games dead
That free kick against dunstan, just shows how they have lost the complete spirit of the game. Disgraceful. If we had a poor standard of living the afl would be overthrown

Re: The games dead
There was one far worse against Jack Steven, and the umpires said play on there. Who knows what the rules are to this game anymore. If I had to explain them to someone I couldn't.
Re: The games dead
Dropping the ball went out the window, every year the rule seems to allow another step to the player before it's called. Counted one was 5 steps from possession to tackle and nothing called

The contact below the knees one? I thought it was a fair decision. Could've snapped his legs in two.

Rarely do you hear so many Saints fans going apeshyte at the end of a game re the dumpires.

Re: The games dead
The whole idea of the game is to get the ball and have courage doing so Dunstan showed it in spades and got the ball courageously,would have been a good video of how to teach kids about how to go and get the footy, but it gets paid a free kick ,that was an absolute joke and anyone who has played footy or has had anything to do with it knows that!

And without them there would be no game. Get over it and instead focus on what we as a team should have done right. Hysterical reactions don't help anyone.saintspremiers wrote:Rarely do you hear so many Saints fans going apeshyte at the end of a game re the dumpires.

Re: The games dead
Disagree with all of this - the sliding in rule is one of the best fixes in the games modern history.
Stops players using momentum to slide in at oppositions knees.
It's more courage to stand of the contest with head down, especially when there was risk of someone rolling into a contest at full speed and using their shoulders to take out the knees.
We want players to play - no sit on the sidelines and have careers ruined. Sliding was ruining the game.
