can someone do SOMETHING about that tool of a runner

[thejiggingsaint]

Is it just me who is just about cheesed off completely with that dill of a runner who cost Schneider the set shot? Its not the first occasion that this fool has cost us!

[totallyfrank]

a public kicking?

[Moccha]

who sent him out there?

[Junction Oval]

It was Kevin Rudd - he thought his message was more important than the game.

I would think that Ross would/should have kicked his arse.

That move cost us momentum, and a goal.

[saint tash]

Maybe he had money on Schnadzo going goaless for the game.

Agree. But it seems ridiculous that your own runner can cost you the ball... Seriously what a ridiculous rule. Your own players are allowed to run across the mark but not your own runner

Oh also if Schneider didnt have a run up like Merv Hughes the runner wouldnt have ran across

Don't shift the blame thunda. The Runners should know the rules!!

Earlier in the year, they cost us a few 50's, then it stopped.

Last night, it was not our main runner (former no. 1 culprit in this area).

Actually, its not the same runner. In the past it was the older guy. But agree, its a stupid rule and it definately cost us momentum.

While old guy made more mistakes...the young guy was also an offender last year.

Wasnt shifting the blame, sorry should have used :sarcasm: after the run up comment

But seriously its a ridiculous rule.

Not sure why but I was actually watching the runner from when he was about 30 metres away from the mark, expecting him to do what he did. As he came toward the play he hesitated, half stopped, then thought, stuff it I just need to get to the other side.

What I find amusing (for want of a better word), is that the umpire in control actually just said to the runner, please move away you are too close and that was that. It was the other umpire who overruled and reversed the kick - you'd think both umpires would know the rules...

Complete brain fade - the guy has no awareness but he wasn't our problem last night.....players

The thing is he did have awareness as he hesitated, the problem is that he ignored his better judgement and ran through anyway. The millions that are spent through a football club, you'd think everyone out on the field would know the rules...
