Rd 17: Post Game Disinterested Dissections: Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

[Vivian]

Agree, meaning it was neither good nor bad.  The one whinge I must vent is the "doggie chuck".  It's obviously ok to fling the ball over your head under the guise of a 'handball' even though both hands are travelling at the same speed.  :

The flick pass was before my time but I know it was outlawed because it blurred the lines between a throw and a handball which was unique to our game. Seems it's back.

Its a plague on the game. All teams do it but the bulldogs have taken throws to a new level. The umpiring all year has been poor. Rules are not being enforced when a chance for play to continue is there. The result is holding the ball and in the back are so inconsistently enforced that avid fans don't understand anymore.

The throwing needs to be clamped, otherwise in a decade throwing will become part of the game.
