Re: 11-5
The booing of Membrey from that cat's crowd is a disgrace.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: 11-5
That one where Danger kicked Liam Stocker fair square in the kidneys, our player wasn't sliding and he wasn't on the ground...he was bending over to get the ball.
Both Stockers feet were still planted as he's bending to win the footy. Even Selwood who was commentating said he thought it should have been a st Kilda free

Re: 11-5
So he's bending over with both feet on the ground...
You have to be allowed to contest the footy.
Danger wasn't anywhere near the football. Danger recklessly kicks him in a vulnerable area and he gets the free
Danger sucked in the ump

And Stocker was removed from the ground.

Re: 11-5
I’m going to play with the words here… I thought it was lack of composure as opposed to selfish.
The first one… the long bomb, I can understand because the square was free, time pressure was on and he backed himself to a near miss.
The play on from the Collard free was a very bad choice though. Needs to be a team rule to not guess if unsure RE advantage
I agree with you in principle though. We could have got the front before Geelong kicked out like that

Re: 11-5
s*** crowd. Like going to a game at West Coast or Fremantle surrounded by one particular crowd. They are not challenged by the people around them so they become a totally biased self centred pack of Ill-informed morons.Jacks Back wrote: ↑Sat 16 Mar 2024 8:52pmThe booing of Membrey from that cat's crowd is a disgrace.

Re: 11-5
Steele tackled and brought a guy to the ground, Cat dropped ball between his legs, and then kicked it a bit.
THE BALL WAS ON THE GROUND
Therefore 'DROPPING THE BALL'

Still love to see how they argue Stocker slammed into by Dangerfield's KNEE and having to leave the ground - but that was BELOW THE KNEES.
And replayed - so the ump had time to u/hasumpstuffedup

Its changed from protecting a player from another who is sliding in dangerously (like Goodes did), to rewarding players who aren't actually trying to win the ball and instead choose to 'run over' the player who's going lower knowing they'll get a free. No different from ducking to get a high tackle or diving to get a push in the back. But that's another debate

Re: 11-5
Very good call. The risk factor has suddenly become secondary and players are exploiting the literal interpretation by 'running over' a player and not even attempting to contest down low to where the footy is.The_Dud wrote: ↑Sun 17 Mar 2024 9:24am

The umpires are a laughing stock aren't they? Can't believe they can get sucked in that easily.
I can understand the umpire for making an error and not really understanding what the rule was designed for...but the AFL needs again to change player behaviour if they're trying to milk a free out of the rule.
Why should Paddy Dangerfield get off scott free for a reckless act. Who was the player at risk? He knew exactly what he was doing. He was the perpetrator.
AFL needs to suspend him for rough conduct!! He staged for a free and hurt Stocker in the process.
The MRO needs to ask the question; was Dangerfield making a genuine attempt to contest the footy by hand or by foot? Where is the ball and where is his foot or his hands?
Just like they need to fine this Collingwood player for sucking in another umpire.

Who is focused on the ball - I will give you a hint - rhymes with Locker
