What's the dumbest thing you've seen on a football field?

[jazzadogs]

And why is it Tim English taking a kick in with 45 seconds on the clock, cantering through the defensive 50 like a headless giraffe, when he could have simply not done that.

Please tell me: what have you seen that is dumber than what happened today? Bonus points if it is not Bulldogs related, as it will ease the pain.

Pass. You win.

Kinda Bulldogs related, but pretty farking dumb. I saw a guy today watch five minutes of our game on one tv the walk through to another room where the same game was on another tv and he looked at the screen then turned to another guy and said "who's playing?".

That's pretty dumb.

Worse. This is the impact the this team has on the neutrals/ the general public… no wonder journos won’t write anything about this side.

100% should have been the long target up the guts. One of the weirdest things I've seen on a footy field.

45 seconds to go English was in goal square, no time to waste just get the ball and go.

HE should have been the target.

The dumbest thing is the fact HE took the kick in to begin with.

[jeemak]

Yep, with the game clock stopped he just needs to sprint down the guts and let someone else kick the ball in.

Lever's meltdown in the final last year was pretty epic.

Richards was next to him and should have demanded the ball, which was the exact same play 2 minutes earlier that resulted in a coast-to-coast goal for us. Both players are equally culpable - it's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen from a professional footy team, and it shows we are too often a talent based team instead of a system based one.

We suck at doing the little things.

I don't get the angst, apart from it looking strange he moved the ball half the field, I doubt the Hawks were set up the same way as the Richards kick out also.

Doesn't the clock stop when a kick in is taken?

Doesn't the clock stop when a kick in is taken?

In accordance with Law 10.5.2, the time clock does not run until the player kicking in has brought the ball back into play – either by kicking or being called to play on.

Yep. All he needed to do was put the ball on the ground in the square, wait for a good kicker to run back to pick it up, and sprint up the ground. That easy.
