Discussion Round 9: Teams & In Game Discussion

[doc ron]

The umpiring this season has been woeful. Having said that they should not be given instructions of what to focus on each week. Just confuses the ****e out of everyone. Have one interpretation of the rules and go with it all season. At least then we get some consistency, good or bad.

Will Oliver get a week or a fine?

He shouldn't get anything. If it doesn't get thrown out it's a joke.

 

[Juzzo]

Even if they're not from Victoria.

Thanks mate.

“Tom Doedee will miss” is very definitive as reported by Theo Drop. Not sure what his strike rate is like but certainly doesn’t sound good for Doedee’s prospects of playing this round.

Will Oliver get a week or a fine?

He'll initially get a week like yeo and hawkins (not that I agree), then they'll appeal and get off/fine

M Gawn:

HTA= 3/19

4 tackles for Gawn.

The definition of a tackle is...

When a player stops an opposition player with possession of the ball from getting his kick or handball away in a legal manner, or reduces the effectiveness of the opposition's disposal.

So to get a tackle stat, you don't necessarily have to wrap the bloke up.

For example, during the second term Oliver stuck out an arm which made contact with Amon (I think) as he was getting a handle away, the hand ball ineffective as it went to a Melbourne player, this resulted as a tackle stat for Oliver.

EDIT: 6 of Gawn's 7 possessions have been contested, which helps also.

Is that the official explanation from the rules ?

If so (which I am sure it is) , getting his kick or handball away in a legal manner stands out.......

And thanks for the explanation.

Hey Max, you've set the bar so high that anything less than 160 is a failure, lift son !!!

FMSC... new recruit Oliver reported. So much for being "bye free"

Same boat for me.

If that report isn't thrown out first thing, then bugger me, what have we come to.

Same here. Best part is thats when i first tuned in, when they showed the replay

I liked it better when my hefty frame was one of the few that relied on Oliver's offerings.

 

[Connoisseur]

Can someone explain Gawns' score to me please ?

Apart from receiving 6 free kicks I have seen a mark , 3 handballs and maybe a tackle.

If you touch someone is that a tackle ?

Probably 2-3 HO have gone direct to a team mate.

Cheers

3/19 HTA

Anything official on Doedee yet?

Can’t find anything recent on the internet. If there was something on the news about it, has anybody got a link or at least know who confirmed the news?

I posted about it as it was headlines on the News here in Adelaide , my apologies as I don't have Twitter to attach a official link or anything.

DBJ ... shift up a gear please ...

 

[Pieman17]

Rozee stop I traded you out.

I don't like '7NEWS understands ' part. lol

 

[Beg2Differ]

Oliver on 65 is staggering given how he butchers the ball.

 

[The Myth]

Okay Georgiadas...LIFT

 

[Santoz]

DBJ ... shift up a gear please ...

Got him and Houston.

Why the hell they'd bring in Rockliff and **** Houston back has got me stuffed.

All good mate.

 

[McLovin]

That passage of play was so Melbourne. Petracca nails a great tackle, some nice ball movement ends up with Viney who kicks a 10 metre grubber to the man on the mark. They get it back, Oliver turns it over immediately. Port go inside 50, May decides to push a Port player instead of picking up the ball and Port kick a goal.

The $800k dream appears to be slipping away...
