We argued to get it thrown out, but if not they're arguing exceptional circumstances to reduce. The issue is you only get one chance to put out an argument. You can't come back after being rejected to having it thrown out to try and reduce it. You go hard to throw it out on the grounds there isn’t ...
Aliir 196cm powerfully built Higgins 177cm small forward To assume Aliir didn’t contribute by doing the mid air kick would be laughable. And that is the crux of it - it was a MID AIR kick - as in the ball fell loose from his shoulder so he took a wild swing at it - in an upwards projecting arc - ie...
Free kick counts are meaningless. You need to look at individual decisions. With the game on the line at the start of the last quarter the umpires gave three soft frees to Port which resulted in shots at goal. The first two missed: NWM holding the ball without any prior opportunity, Battle punching...
Well, we must have a chance because David King said on First Crack that he believes he should get off. If Higgins does not get off the penalty should be down graded due to Alir's contributing negligence trying to kick the ball and then failing to make any effort to protect himself. It was not even ...
I reckon this thread would have been 6 pages long by now if the AFL hadn't hacked Saintsational last night Did anyone else suspect a DDoS attack? This site was out of action for over an hour or two https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ddos/what-is-a-ddos-attack/ Absolutely - I knew it the moment I t...
Apparently they are appealing based on Aliir Aliir contributing to the impact On another note the following comments should all be printed and given in defense. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=977942914335210&set=a.450574547072052 Apart from a few they all seem to wonder WTF the AFL is going.

What do we know about the current senior umpiring group? Most seem athletic enough, not many spew at 3/4 time or cramp up. We know they are largely respectful of each other's decisions, not demurring even when they know a mistake has been made. Nice tight and supportive. We know they have collectiv...
We’re -2 for free kicks across the whole season. So what does that say? That they cheated tonight. I understand, so they’ve now balanced out the games they cheated for us this year with the games they cheated against us. Sounds fair, swings and roundabouts 👍 Hey Dud - explain this one for me: https...

I would suggest that if the Saints took it to court, the suspension would be thrown out and the AFL cautioned for wasting the court's time.
I am up for $50 contribution to costs - lol - who else is on board for a Class Action???
Ross Lyon was very clear on where the game was lost When the journalists informed him about the free kick count, he said; "That's not what cost us the game" That is Ross Code for - It cost us the game Later he asked the margin - and when told 10 points he said 'with a 25 to 10 free kick c...
Fractured ankles are the worst!!! You lose mobility/agility I fractured my Talis towards the end of my footy Surgeon scoffed when I asked when I’d be back to 100% It ended the career of Fergus Watts I could very well be wrong, but my recollection of Fergus Watts was a hip/upper femur fracture that ...
What I am attempting to call out is the nonsense some (continually) contribute to this site If you are of the opinion the Irish recruit is just having an end to end kick, otherwise in the bar and that the Collingwood Coach would be more benificial to his education, then go follow Collingwood or who...
26,719 This was our home game, is this a terrible crowd? Huge game for both teams, yes a school night and apparently trains not working on one line However surely we could have got this to 35k for a home game Do the players feel flat when they run out to a vision of empty seats and low noise FQF LO...

He needs to go back and dominate at VFL level to get his confidence back and start kicking the footy again rather than trying to handball all the time.
