@sirswampthing @mjkara35 @rrosso2012 @CollingwoodFC @brisbanelions @AFL Of course. How could I forget that Pendles has a basketball background and never touched a footy 'til his first pre-season with the Pies? 🙄

@leafy17 @mjkara35 @rrosso2012 @CollingwoodFC @brisbanelions @AFL junior basketball

COLL have not won against BRIS without Scott Pendlebury in the lineup since the 2003 QF @CollingwoodFC @brisbanelions #AFLLionsPies @AFL

@mjkara35 @rrosso2012 @sirswampthing @CollingwoodFC @brisbanelions @AFL Weird for Swamp to choose two seasons Pendlebury didn't play in, as he was still playing junior footy.

@rrosso2012 @sirswampthing @CollingwoodFC @brisbanelions @AFL Weird to choose the game he lasted 5 seconds in

@sirswampthing @CollingwoodFC @brisbanelions @AFL It was a bit hard for @Collingwood to beat the @brisbanelions in 2004 and 2005... Seeing as they didn't draft Pendlebury until November of 2005. #AFLLionsPies

@AFL Exhausting.

The first month has been __.

@ingood_nick Carlton would hire Jimmy Bartel, but for only 6 hours a month.

Genuinely one of the best analysts of the game, no picking apart individual player performances but identifying failure in systems. Man it would be good to have someone like him at your club.

@DetroitLemons99 @navybluegooner Cripps should absolutely play primarily as a forward. When he doesn't have the ball, he's a defensive liability. And even when he does, Cripps tries to take on the entire opposition. Always wants to wear the cape. Quickly become a selfish footballer, has Patrick Cripps.

@navybluegooner MOve past the bloke who just won your BnF the only mid that has a defensive bone in his body for "Checks Notes" Walsh who is having little impact on games, Cerra cant even get on the park, A 3rd gamer and trying to push cripps out😂😂😂😂

Sorry but we need to move past George Hewett. Starting mids next week should be Walsh, Cerra, Jagga, Cripps (50/50 forward) Rotating with Florent, Ainsworth and obviously Lord if he's fit. Chesser not AFL standard, and Williams shouldn't have a place in the team either.

@KitWalker021475 @HeathTudor1 @RalphyHeraldSun Umpires think a tackled player handballing the Sherrin back into his guts is a "genuine attempt" to get rid of the ball. I wouldn't count on this amendment yielding positive results.

@HeathTudor1 @RalphyHeraldSun A full length dive, a player attempts to knock the ball back in play but it just grazes the fingers and goes out . Intent or not?

Revealed: The key change to the lasso rule. Players who dive to touch the pill to stop a penalty after their teammate kicks the ball to the line will now be penalised for insufficient intent. They have to make a genuine attempt to keep it in. The details heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/news…

@RalphyHeraldSun Could've just penalised players who were ushering the ball over the line when they had a play on it. After all, they were the ones showing "insufficient intent" in keeping the ball in play. This was yet another unnecessary rule change and 3 weeks in, it's already been botched.

@PletsasHellas @The_PrenderCast @jadjaouhari93 Eager to hear his insights.

@leafy17 @The_PrenderCast @jadjaouhari93 Thoughts on this weeks second half @jadjaouhari93 ?

No, scoring more points than your opponent is always a win.

@BeneEvans @AFL It's a billion dollar organisation.

@AFL $$$Million dollar organisation!! What a joke

"The AFL will look at its late-in-game process and the ability to potentially hold play to get the correct outcome." Details: afl.com.au/news/1484834

@JonoBaruch Take a look at the pitiful effort from Chayce Jones on the outer flank that led to Wiltshire setting up the Martin goal. That's what cost the Crows this game, not a genuine 50-50 call on the broadcast wing.

By my count, That's probably the fifth time in the last three years that the AFL have conceded a wrong call was made against the Crows that's ultimately cost them the game?

@peteguley @rohancct @7AFL A reasonable point you make.

@leafy17 @rohancct @7AFL I thought (not 100%) they did co-exist and that umps could still pay “insufficient intent”. Personally I would penalise that player who knocks it out to avoid the lasso FK. It’s a team error either way so why not penalise the error?

"THAT'S A HUGE STORY." 😳 Tom Atkins fooled the ump... and the Cats made the most of it.

@hasumpstuffedup @AflGlicko So Martin jumping on Bond's back doesn't exist? Riiiight.

@leafy17 @AflGlicko I'll have another look at the first term one But the second term HTB was absolutely correct he reached way out and dragged the ball back under. Textbook FK

Geelong were completely dominant, but sure, always blame the umpires.

@peteguley @rohancct @7AFL Can the two rules co-exist though? We've seen players smack the ball OOB to avoid a lasso free kick, and in turn be penalised for insufficient intent. Surely you can't ping a bloke for being desperate and knocking it out?

@leafy17 @rohancct @7AFL The rule is now “last disposal”, not “insufficient intent” and it’s a much simpler, fair and unambiguous rule. Many will focus on this one error and ignore the 100s of clear, simple adjudications.

@hasumpstuffedup @AflGlicko In the 1st term, Rankine bats ball away from Stewart in a marking contest. Ump calls play on, Stewart gets ball & is pushed in the chest - free to Cats. Martin jumps on Bond's back, drags the ball in and a HTB free is paid against Bond. Martin kicks a late 2nd quarter goal.

@AflGlicko Other than the Lasso FK mistake, I can't really think of any obvious umpire errors?

@paoloseb05 @MohamedaceAbdi The VFL is exactly where Lachie Fogarty should be for the rest of his career.

@MohamedaceAbdi VFL

We had to wait three weeks too long, but it’s finally here. #donk

@JackHardie11 @paoloseb05 What "L. Camporeale situation" did we have last year?

@paoloseb05 Disagree. Like that we’ve waited. Didn’t want another L. Camporeale situation last year

@7AFL This goal is on Chayce Jones for running under the footy and allowing his opponent to collect and deliver inside 50. He must give a better blowie than a 2 dollar whore. Nothing else explains how he gets games.

@rohancct @7AFL They has nearly a decade of testing to view in the SANFL. It's a terrible rule. They could have just penalised players who ushered the ball over the line. They're the ones showing "insufficient intent" to keep the ball in play.

@7AFL This is what happens when you bring in rules without testing them fully

@CaptianBrayshaw @NewLeafBrian @hasumpstuffedup It would be counted as a disposal if he kicked it over the goal line. That's the logic the broadcasters have been running with so far.

@NewLeafBrian @hasumpstuffedup Surly that can’t be a recorded disposal that would happen so many times throughout the game the ball accidentally hitting a players foot

Really bad one this. I think we can all forgive the boundary ump - that's such a tough call to make at full speed off one look. But the ARC are supposed to be reviewing all of these last disposals FKs. What has happened here? Really disappointing #AFLCatsCrows #AFL
