Discussion 2023 Round 13: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Russty_]

I went to walk the dog, why is the afl app saying Yeo is injured? What happened?

The lesson in that is....don't take your Dog for a walk, ever

Laird vs Dawson for the C, of course Dawson does this...

 

[Zoku Pops]

I have the C on Laird 🤞he owes be big time from the last time I had C in round 1

Same. First time he's been part of my vc / c selection since round 1. Still not over it, but a big one today will at least put him back in weekly contention.

Does anyone remember a game many years back where an underdog Richmond played a ‘keeping off’s’ style game against Adelaide and won? It was one of many games where J and P Bowden racked up the possessions. Could the Eagles just try to deprive the Crows of the ball as much as possible? I’m just trying to think what Adam Simpson could do.

Me too. Already topped that. Looking for a nice bye 200. All will be forgiven.

I went Dunkley into Laird. One of those rounds where you wish the VC was double and the C was tripled...

Was my plan as well. Typical that Laird has come out of the blocks like this, but I expect him to ease off in the 2nd half of the game so they don’t risk him getting injured.

Glad i kept Day.

So Sicily gets another holiday it seems.

To me that didn’t look like a dangerous tackle... just an accident.

But you never know these days

On replay I’m not sure that’s a dangerous tackle. There’s a lot of bodies in there which alters the way Clug hits the ground. Complete accident for me.

Given the recent reports and suspensions given this year, I’m erring on the side of worst case scenario at this point. Thing that might save him is that he had tackled him around the waist.

Seriously - I just don't see what he did wrong. Football is a contact sport. He tackled him and the tackle slipped. I don't know any more. Christain will probably cite is just because it's Sicily. There was no second movement - it was in a cluster of players - it was an accident. I'm glad McG is ok.

I don’t think he did anything wrong either, but worried the MRO will. Just plain bad luck he landed how he did.

It’s hard to see from the angle live but there is a clear secondary sling, pinned arm - McLuggage’s head hits the ground first and he gets concussed. McLuggage was already dispossessed when the second sling occurred.

Can’t see how he gets off that one personally

Only problem is they’re already 30 points down at quarter time, Crows just need to keep chipping away at it now.

Remember the game very well, was there, it was at Marvel, was referred to as 'basketball crap' from the media from what i remember.

They don't have enough players that have the skill or the composure to do that. They cannot even handball to a player running past them correctly.

Huh, I always thought that one was attributed to Sherlock!

Spock is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes.

The quote made by Spock is, "As an ancestor of mine once said, 'Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'" Spock clearly identifies the originator of the quote as his ancestor. It's in a serious scene, and Spock is not known for joking.

Maybe Laird... hmm

This might be the first time a last minute call has ever worked for me. Keep it going son!!

 

[MightyTiges]

Glad i stuck with Laird for the C (for now), contemplated Dawson for a moment but Laird always the safer option.

That's good but somewhat predictable. Lucky his name isn't Sicily. (I don't own Sicily btw. Just know how these things go.)
