The Cheating Matthew Scarlett Thread

Post: # 545530Post brown-coat »

Your opinions?

Does this guy cheat very well or what? He rapes Gehrig with his cheating tactics. Stealth arm chopping and jumper tugging are his supreme talents.


:roll: 8-)

All defenders do that stuff. It's up to the umpires top sort it out. And for Gehrig to get on his bike and bloody move! When he's done well on Scarlett he's been a leading forward, not a goal-square wrestling forward. See R1 2004 for example.

Rape has since changed from the original meaning to beating an opponent convincingly. Counter-strike...

Kind of like how gay used to mean happy...

Scarlett is all right.

Like someone already said, it's down to the umpires to stop that sort of thing.

If he rapes G-Train, I wouldn't like to be in the local vicinity.

Rape is not a term to be used lightly. Have some respect for people who've suffered this kind of assault.

I'll make a prediction. Riewolt will get his arms chopped every contest and will receive 3 free kicks (one in the first, third and early in the last).

However, it's not much of a crystal ball effort, happens every week. Defenders know the umps are not going to pay Roo a dozen frees so they'll continue with the tactic and be happy to cop a couple of penalties.

Another one of his tricks is to hold the G around his wrists in the contests.

He's been getting away with that for years.

Watch closely and you will see.

Easy way for Gto deal with all this.

When he shakes hands with Scarlett, he should just use his strength to crush it lol.

Gehrig has done well against all defenders when he leads.
Some defenders challenge him to a wrestling match and Gehrig not being to bright accepts the challenge. Whilst he is still wrestling the opposition clears the ball away.
Gehrig is useless when he wants to wrestle, he is great when he leads.

I'm not a whinger but...

its a wonder we have the reputation of being the biggest whingers in the AFL (after collignwood of course) with all the topics and posts popping up here and on bigfooty.

If its not one thing its another. Ever thought that MAYBE what the opposition are doing is fair and we are just not good enough?

If these are the reasons people think that explain our success record we are delusional. Scarlett has always beaten Gehrig and probably always will. It is up to RL ta plan for that.


I don't think we are up to it yet.....

Gehrig just has to trot off to the pocket tomorrow and hope Scarlett goes with him.

A 0-0 result would be great for us; I'm backing Riewoldt and Koschitzke to win their respective positions and that's all we need.

Let's face it, it worked a treat last week when our midfield got the ball down to them.

...BUT the supply has to be there. And the best thing Gehrig did during that first term? Wander off, taking Lake with him. It freed up the lines, and we dominated against the weaker defenders.

Such a shame our midfield collapsed.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

Gehrig is best suited to acting as a decoy forward tomorrow. His main role should be to try and take Scarlett out of the game whose rebound from defense can be damaging.

Then play Gherig WIDE WIDE WIDE half forward flank. Keep Scarlett completely away.

That's Bull as the umpires are so imcompetent that they allow it.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency
