Bankers And Anchors - Round 13, 2018 vs Port Adelaide

[LostDoggy]

As Chris Grant said this morning, what his he supposed to do, he had his head over the ball. We are getting to a stage where AFL is being ruined because of this stupid rule, no one will want to bend over anymore to get the ball.

Also, McLean primarily made contact with the thigh and hip of the Port player, vastly different to sliding and taking someone out from their ankles. Just a horrid decision.

The most ridiculous part was McLean was still on his feet, how can you 'slide' on your feet wearing footy boots? Watch the AFL come out and justify it as a correct decision though.

Toby should consider legal action against the AFL over the treatment he has received from the umpires this year - he is being punished due to his reputation as a ducker to the point that it is open season on his head.

That's why the umpire payed the free kick. Because he thought Toby was initiating contact to the head trying to draw a free kick. To then compound the stupidity and say the free was for tunnelling was just silly by the umpire.

3. Hunters pathetic kicking skills and turnovers.

It's farcical now. I cringe when he gets it

I don't understand how he hasn't fixed it and how the coaches haven't worked it out of his game. He's getting a lot of the ball this year, but he's not doing any damage to the opposition. Maybe he and the coaches are happy with things the way they are.

You only have to look at Macrae and the improvement he has made.

Then why hasn't Hunter made the same type of improvement that Macrae & McLean have?

Mclean has a long way to go with his kicking. He tends to kick high rather than long.

Hunter - Why? Because he hasn't worked on it and probably thinks his kicking is ok.

Do you think the various coaches feedback on Hunter's kicking and decision making is that it's ok?

What's your guess? My guess is they've said it's an area he can vastly improve.

Maybe he has reached his limit.

[bulldogtragic]

Maybe he has reached his limit.

If this is what to expect, if this is his limit, poor decision making and awful kicking on top of elite aerobic capacity, what's the club to do with him? It's hard for the club to endorse him as a leader when he's not pushing his overall game to the next level. So going ahead with a lot of kids, the club has to come to a conclusion about Lachie. If he's the standards driver, the kids going ahead won't have huge standards in decision making and effective disposal. He's far from the most pressing issue right now, but that shouldn't mean he gets a pass, especially since his ceiling ought to be a lot higher than we've seen this year.

payed.

TD for shame!

A farcical rule that jumped the shark with that call.

If the AFL wants to change that rule in the off-season I'm ok with it.
