The weekly player vilification thread - GAME DAY THREAD vs Titans

[Birdee_Num_Num]

Moyza and SJ are Killing it together.

this is the titans.
leaks worse than the titanic.

 

[Weaponhead]

Moylan's getting the ball quicker off SJ, he's using the options that creates.

Moylan is playing as a pivot with selective passing. Not overplaying but so instrumental

 

[Frenzy.]

What a joke, he was falling ffs.

Thats a bullshit sin binning on Chambers. He was falling.

Irrelevant and something I blame commentators, particularly ex players for. Fans only run off what they get saturated with. Journos and commentators should be gagged on this.

There is no excuse, mitigation or leniency in the rules for that. Nothing about first contact, nothing about falling, nothing about lazy arms, fatigue or getting wrong footed.

Just don't attack the head. The rule hasn't changed. The policing of it has and I'm over hearing shit like he was falling and other excuses.

It's zero tolerance. I don't care which player from which team does it.

1. (b) when effecting or attempting to effect a tackle makes
   
   contact with the head or neck of an opponent intentionally,
   
   recklessly or carelessly.

Handled the Chambers binning time very well

 

[coolumsharkie]

Yes!!! f**k yes!!

 

[Weaponhead]

Great set. Made the break then hit through the middle with straight running. No panic. Good execution.

 

[Frenzy.]

2 words

Icing opportunities.

 

[chewsta]

Great footy!

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

titans defence is limp af.
should be a cricket score.

 

[Frenzy.]

Frankie looks trim actually

 

[Inferno]

If someone is falling and you are doing everything you can to tackle someone around the torso it is neither reckless nor careless.

It is not solely an outcome penalty ie you hit the head and it's an automatic penalty.

10 in the bin for that situation where someone is falling is silly and was never what the rule was designed to penalise.

 

[Weaponhead]

Just give it to Ronnie, Chambers

There has to be some common sense and mitigation for a falling target.

 

[chewsta]

Great team effort! Playing straight up the guts and opening them up easily.

Best of all, not one single crabbing inside ball.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Amazing what happens with the handbrake not out there

It was designed to stop contact with the head. That's all. No excuse. Read the rule and stop arguing rubbish.

Get used to it.

[glenmoresharkie]

Wow what a half

 

[Craigshark]

Best game so far wade Graham has played this year

 

[shadowboxer]

Just a solid half of decent footy - a few brain fades but really good signs. Was there one bomb is that half?
Why was Talaki off for - HIA? And who got him?

 

[McLovin]

I prefer Chad and not scoring lots of points tbh
