Title: GWS v Sydney Discussion Thread
Post by: Andrew on March 30, 2013, 04:31:39 PM
Subs: Taylor Adams (GWS), Tony Armstrong (SYD).

Glad I didn't get excited about Armstrong...

Just dominating. Greene on 5 points thus far, getting smacked up by Sydney players whenever he gets near it apparently. Mmm.

Plowman getting his hammy worked on and Whitfield winded, still on 0.

Greene kicks the first for GWS, just what the doctor ordered for him!

was a great kick too
Title: Re: GWS v Sydney Discussion Thread
Post by: me on March 30, 2013, 06:53:53 PM
was going so well until zorko and cowfield flowered me, finally decided to actually get the high draft pick rooks after years of not getting them and watching them pump out decent scores

at least with 2x trades a week i can quickly avenge this load of bullshower.

Post by: Mat0369 on March 30, 2013, 06:57:27 PM
Treloar killed it the first qrt, then slowed down in the second. I have him in my draft team, pretty happy with that. Also have Jack in both my draft and regular team. Smashed it late in the second, but he is starting on the flank a lot which is worrying.
Title: Re: GWS v Sydney Discussion Thread
Post by: Andrew on March 30, 2013, 07:17:34 PM
Anyone just see Kieran Jack ankle tap Treloar? Surely a weeks' suspension in that! Dirty play, go back to rugby Kieran!

Post by: pommyadam on March 30, 2013, 07:37:57 PM
Treloar might be a good pickup this year if he carries this on, pity he's a mid only

nice to see GWS actually make a game of it, looked like it could've been a heavy beating at quarter time

Was not much in the Jack ankle tap. Free kick yes, reportable no.

I'd give him a week for it personally- coniglio didn't go to ground, but that's not the point, ankle tapping is a really dangerous and unsportsman like strategy, you can get injured in so many different ways from it.

He tripped another bloke in the last quarter! Could get points from both incidents?

His easy draw early was why a few people jumped on. I was never that keen on him and thought Murphy or Jelwood were much better picks at around the same price.

JPK --> Moloney
Longer --> Kreuzer
too rash? ???

More in the second then there was in the 1st but he could make a case for both. Would still be surprised if he got a week.

It is not ideal but it was a slight glance on the boot which forced the deviation in his kick. Had he taken a full swing at it, then yeah maybe, but it was a bursh in comparison

whitfield was reasonable when he got near it, but the ball didnt come near him enough for much of an impact.

A deliberate trip is a deliberate trip and gets weeks, I thought. You see the reaction throw out of the leg get weeks, this was clearly deliberate from Jack as he was waiting for the GWS player to get into his kicking stride before ankle tapping him. Jack was using his rugby experience to execute the move, and just like Judd's pressure point move didn't actually do any damage, any action that deliberate deserves time on the sidelines.

Will be interesting to see how the obviously Sydney-biased AFL handles this one.

What Jack did and swinging out a leg are two completely different things. I have never seen an ankle tap go to a tribunal so it will be interesting to see how it is handled by the MRP and the tribunal if he does get suspended and Sydney decide to challenge. The hand action was so subtle, and it probably only warranted a free kick. Players get legged all the time in the tackle motion but an ankle tap is a new one.

Post by: Ziplock on March 31, 2013, 01:09:39 AM
ordinarily a player wouldn't ankle tap because it's not legal in AFL... jack did grow up playing rugby though, where it is legal, so it might have been a bit of an automatic reaction in that situation. Ankle tapping someone when they're kicking a football can cause so many injuries though, hence why it's not allowed in AFL but it is in rugby.
