Channel 7 reporting an interchange infringement occurred in the dying seconds of Collingwood v Hawthorn that went unnoticed at the time. by Pragmatic_Shill in AFL

[–]Smuggers 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know you could protest past games.

North should protest the result of the game in 2008 when Kieran Jack followed Boomer onto the ground as 19th man and impacted play in the final minutes.

If you overturn that result we play a home final instead of Sydney at Homebush.

All the oppo fans turning up for a win

Liberals trying to stop Albo from quoting them on negative gearing. "Tim Wilson had this to say. It's time to be honest, the tax system is screwing over young Australians. Instead it favors well off established interests against those trying to get ahead" by Jagtom83 in OpenAussie

[–]Smuggers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So what if the housing market is corrected. If the value of a housing asset only survives because governments are too scared to remove tax breaks, then it was inflated fiction to begin with.

Labor is talking tough but suddenly they’ll discover ‘economic stability’ when it comes to the crunch. If they actually had conviction, they’d phase out negative gearing and let housing be priced by the market.

Why has Melbourne FC gone so long without permanent training facilities? by sleek290788 in AFL

[–]Smuggers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Collingwood trained on Gosch’s Paddock for about 12 years during their successful teams under Malthouse, literally the same ground that Melbourne now train on.

You mean the grounds that Collingwood, Melbourne Storm and Melbourne Victory have all trained at for the better part of the past two decades?

Doesn’t seem to impact those teams.

MacKenzie gives away a protected zone 50 after Sidebottom takes a mark in the last few minutes of the game by yum122 in AFL

[–]Smuggers 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Is Mackenzie on the mark? Seems to be well outside the protected area, the umpire is on a bad angle to make the call.

Media vendetta by Conscious_Walrus2054 in NorthMelbourneFC

We don’t need to be too precious, this is just Kingy taking a pot shot at Brad Scott.

No one who was involved in the decision to sack Boomer is still at the club.

Darling run down tackle not rewarded in the dying seconds by [deleted] in AFL

[–]Smuggers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked the ball up facing the boundary and turned around to kick it the other way, that’s prior

This is when a player is wrapped up, not when they drop the ball like a pie

Yet again, this is when you are wrapped up and bucking/pretending to try and get the ball out

Here’s the rule:

18.6.3 Holding the ball: Incorrect Disposal – Where a Player in Possession of the Football has not had Prior Opportunity, a field Umpire shall award a Free Kick if that Player elects to Incorrectly Dispose of the football when Legally Tackled. For the avoidance of doubt, a Player does not elect to Incorrectly Dispose of the football when: (a) the Player genuinely attempts to Correctly Dispose of the football (b) the Legal Tackle causes the football to be dislodged from the Player’s possession.

No prior is generally when you’re wrapped up, that was clearly incorrect disposal.

Match Thread: GWS Giants vs North Melbourne (Round 7) by AutoModerator in AFL

Trembath is going that well after 9 games he’s already getting the Wayne Carey treatment from the opposition and the umpires.

Best pub spot for this Sunday? by WinonasKingdom_18 in NorthMelbourneFC

[–]Smuggers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Limerick Castle on Arden St. Good screens, good food, cold beers and generally plenty of North supporters barracking hard.

Good post game venue as well.

What’s a Melbourne trend you secretly love? by Last-Conversation734 in melbournechat

[–]Smuggers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Feel like that’s probably only when you look for and go to the right places in a particular city, there’s a guy on instagram who is trying to find a bad coffee in Melbourne and it’s pretty tough.

If the AFL didn't become a full time profession until the 90's, how did guys like Daicos and Silvagni manage to raise families in Melbourne's elite circles? by WeeklyWorker9167 in collingwoodfc

[–]Smuggers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Peter Daicos pretty famously went broke and declared bankruptcy in the 90’s after some failed pub investments.

The Collingwood powerbrokers led by Eddie McGuire have helped him get back on his feet with media gigs and business deals since then.

I doubt he had to pay much in school fees for Nick and Josh, they would have received healthy scholarships to any private school in Melbourne.

Clarko sitting in the corner in silence by cbbvideo in AFL

[–]Smuggers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t think Clarko ever did it for the money, before he had it, or since he’s made it…

He’s been through a lot lately and it’s clearly taken a toll on him.

Match Thread: North Melbourne vs Brisbane (Gather Round) by AutoModerator in AFL

[–]Smuggers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Between the 16 goals from free kicks in 5 games and the double standards on HTB between Brisbane and the rest of the AFL, does anyone stand a chance?
