I should have known this. Still, definitely an anomaly which you would hate to decide a GF. Quote Selected

Claiming last night's TDK result as a case for solo ruck is at best a stretch.Heeding the warning of the potentially devastating result of not having a ruck is unequivocal.You might sneak a result in the season but in finals, well good luck with that. Can you imagine losing Cripps tot he stoppage contest in finals games because he is forced to ruck? Can you imagine losing BigH from the F50 in a final because he's on ruck duty?Blah blah blah Bollocks.R16 - 2023 - Carlton vs HawthornNo Pittonet. No De Koning.Young, Silvagni, McKay used in the ruck.HitoutsHawthorn - 61Carlton - 27Result - Carlton wins by 60 points.R17 - 2023Carlton vs Fremantle (@Fremantle)No Pittonet. No De Koning.Young, Silvagni, McKay used in the ruck"We are going to get monstered by Darcy and get spanked"HitoutsFremantle - 70 (Darcy 58!)Carlton - 18Result - Carlton wins by 53.Tell me again why we need 2 rucks to cover for the 1 ruck on the off-chance he gets injured.We don't even need 1 ruck. In fact we have an average winning margin of over 9 goals when we don't have a ruck.Just because Geelong lost by the same amount last night and didn't have one doesn't prove anything other than Geelong are crap right now.So to go back to your quote...."Heeding the warning of the potentially devastating result of not having a ruck is unequivocal."The only devastating results i see is on the scoreboard when we demolish the opposition!

Play on after the siren it is game over!!!Did the umpire call play on though?The umpire raised both hands, absolutely. The umpire raises both hands to signify the end of the quarter though.If the umpire calls plays on, they lift both arms up in front of them in a similar fashion, but it a more sweeping action.The 'signal' from the umps is being misinterpreted IMO.

Firstly Gov's goal should've counted but when Lij took his kick the guy on the mark was dancing around and moving sideways. Maybe the ump didn't say stand? Should've been another 50.

Re: AFL Rd 15 2024 Post-Game Prognostications Carlton vs Geelong Reply #66 – June 23, 2024, 08:49:46 am Note to Durdin and Motlop, if you want to be the starting fwd pocket in the side, have a look at the work rate of Owies for 4 qtrs. Watch how he is having a shot at goal one minute and the next minute he is defending deep in the D50. Have a look at how he willed himself to win the ball and do the one two with Fog to then kick the running goal. Even Fantasia up and down the ground running is impressive. Motlop especially is miles off this. Quote Selected 1 Likes

I would think that Cerra, Martin, Marchbank, Motlop and Cottrell would normally be automatic ins but I don't see where they fit in without destabilising the balance of the team.

The reason why Zac Williams was trialled up forward was as a direct result of how settled & reliable Cowan has been at half-back, they couldn't keep playing Williams there either. This move forced Zac into becoming a better player in a position none of us had considered he was even suited for, a huge win-win for everyone. Quote Selected

I think Charlie has not hit his best as yet as he was last year. Definitely think he can improve. Has missed some easy set shots and also some marks as well, although under immense pressure at times.And the number of times he was held and no free kicks paid to him is infuriating.Watch out if both Harry and Charlie have a blinder on the same day.Charlie Curnow is "coasting" at the moment, he's content with having a little highlight reel moment where he bobs up and kicks a nice goal, the rest of the time he has his hands on his hips and is spectating., we all know he has no second efforets and refuses to chase. This is not good enough IMO, he has to learn that the players upfield are working their butts off to get the aggot up his end and he should have the decency to reward those efforts by applying himself harder and longer in a match, He'd kick 12 a week if he did. Contrast that to McKay who is running all over the ground, being part of the transition chain and is marking when & where needed, he is not as gifted as Curnow but gives his all 100% of the time because of it.

This move forced Zac into becoming a better player in a position none of us had considered he was even suited for, a huge win-win for everyone.How exactly does one slam their own head into the turf?If that was the case, Geelong would be employing a biomechanics expert to get Dangerfield off his suspension.Watch it again, Walsh’s arms are pinned and he has no control as centripetal force propels his head in an accelerating arc into the turf.As for the Williams-Cowan scenario, Cowan’s form in the Magoos would have played a part. However, his opportunity arose because Williams put his hand up to play as a defensive forward and his logical replacement in defence, Cincotta, was given the tagging role. It’s actually a win-win-win. Quote Selected

Apart from his ruck role, Harry plays further up the ground. Charlie’s role means that he rarely goes past the centre, unless he’s needed in defence.If Charlie is “coasting”, let’s have more of it I say! Quote Selected
