Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 5 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Adelaide
Last post by ElwoodBlues1 -It wasn't even a free kick.Nothing malicious in the bump and it was fair under the old rules but the onus is now " duty of care" and I have noticed a few players pulling up short in contests to avoid contacting the opposing player in an effort to look after them and its going to become more common and hopefully doesnt get confused with shirking the contest.
You cant just throw yourself at players anymore and not care about the damage you do, the other rule where players need to adjust is throwing themselves at the ball and taking the feet out from under the other player, the umpires seem red hot on paying that too..

Last post by pinot -I just watched the footage of Crouch cleaning up Carroll. Crouch’s attack on the footy was perfect with his body turned to protect his head while gathering the ball. Carroll, on the other hand, led with his head and was always going to get collected.
The free was there but there is an argument that Carroll ducked into it.
Bot should study that footage and learn how to protect himself in that situation.
It wasn't even a free kick.

Last post by Baggers -We are at our best when we are the hunter, at the moment we are the hunted. Need to flip that around this weekend.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Exactly.

Last post by Baggers -I have developed a bit of a sniffle and, as Ms DJC is scheduled to have an operation on Friday, I thought I should do a RAT; positive!
All the very best to you and Mrs DJC, David. I hope the op goes well and Mrs DJC is doing 100 metre sprints in no time
Mrs Baggers tested positive to Covid recently and developed a nasty cough, temperature, runny nose and fatigue. Now she's lost her sense of smell and taste but is feeling better. Yours truly, naturally, also got it but like you, only experienced mild cold symptoms for a day or so.

Last post by DJC -Ms DJC is having her second knee replacement, provided she doesn't test positive tomorrow.
So far my symptoms are like a mild cold ...
