Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn

[flyboy77]

All guilty as charged. Add LOB to the list.

All adds up to a badly coached side frankly.

Most of those names aren't kids.

Careful Micky, if you play whistleblower, the club will get fined....free kick Hawthorn.

Among the litany of questionable decisions the one that got me was SPS getting nailed with the forearm -  it was a clear, and absolutely no discussion required report and 50 metre penalty..... crickets.  That umpire should have a case to answer for, if they don't know the %$^^&ing rules they should expect to be dropped and bloody well made to learn them.

At the very least I'd expect a please explain from the club to the AFL to clarify the situation on this one.

Why did they get a 50m penalty to put them right in front of goal yet SPS got an elbow to the head which apparently was reportable, but no 50m?

Why is H allowed to get his arms chopped continuously without ever getting a free?

Why was that guy allowed to walk into a better angle when he marked on the boundary line?

Why do they continuously get away with holding Cripps? Or land in our backs with no frees?

You're right Micky, but that is not the reason for the capitulation?

He was reported. Umpire said so at the time.

Not the reason for coming back from Half time asleep but certainly helped hawks get momentum and a side of seasoned players together with another 3 fucking champions they’ve gotten in Scully, OMeara and Wingard meant they got a sniff and knew how to not let that go - even tho we got very close at pinching it.

Free kick count in Q3 was 8-1 or something - they got every 50/50 and plenty of 10/90! We got fuck all until the 4th quarter and even then it was 2 in the middle of the ground!

BT highlighted how that hawk moved closer and to a better angle while Eleni was sorting our player out - what are the other umps watching and Murphy was watching him - Why didn’t he say something? I’m so ducking sick of watching teams like these pricks with their sniper coach, cheating and stepping forward or moving to better angles or all those little things, and we just sit there and watch it happen. So bloody frustarting! Where are our whinging players to question things?!

How could I forget another positive - Cunningham ????????

Thats true but I'd argue we need to do similar to the opposing teams best player/s but dont and its cost us games...why do premiership winning coaches employ the
tactic and we dont? I know there is trade off between development vs wins but in a 4th year of a rebuild I'd be leaning towards winning the game.
It drives me nuts each week how we just hand out BOG's to players who never had an opponent...

I get that Elwood. I'm sure the coaches have their reasons. Don't think for a minute that they don't notice the bloke getting the most possies. They surely do. But most coaches, not just Bolts, are reluctant to run full time taggers. I've seen pressers with Buckley, Bolton, and others where they give their reasons, as I've discussed elsewhere.

I just skimmed through the rules very quickly, I dont believe a 50m penalty automatically applies when a report is made. I'll stand corrected if I missed it.

That's it - make some noise - they're all too nice...like Bolts.
