AFL Round 18, 2018

Melbourne just blew their top 4 chance. Love seeing the shattered faces on their p* weak players. They cannot afford to lose anymore games from here!

How many times does Geelong get a chance to mark just before the Siren?

Cats back in the 8. Need hawthorn to win tomorrow, to make the ladder log jam even more interesting.

Good game to watch as thoroughly enjoyed seeing melbourne cough up a 30 point lead ... and to lose on the siren.

Too bad the loss had to be against Geelong. Hate the coach, Selwood, Dangerfield they are all smart arses. SElwood constantly throwing his arms up in the air looking for a free kick and Dangerfield milking a free kick when he pretends he is in the ruck. Disgraceful

What's really disgraceful is the look of entitlement on Dangerfield's face as he looks at the umpire expecting to get his free kick. It's like he's saying "oh come on ump. This is Kardinia Park and I've done everything I can to give you a reason to pay a free kick so just pay it and we can get on with the game" it's truly disgusting.

They've got Carlton next week. Every chance to finish in front of us.

Wouldn’t count on it. Their % will be lower than ours and we are still to play carlton

Come on BAD, if one of our guys was clever enough to do that we'd be lauding him for it.

It's not something we'll ever have to worry about anyway.

I just think it is another case when the smart arses at HQ come up with a rule and don't think about the consequences.

I don't disagree - I hate the rule. But what Dangerfield dis was pretty damn smart.

I think it is close to cheating.

Dangerfield free kick 'not in the spirit of the game'

Fair enough. That's your take but I don't agree.

Also, I'm not sure that link adds any weight to the argument. The headline might as well say "opposition player disagrees with free kick paid against his side". Guaranteed Tom McDonald would be saying "very smart play" if it had been Petracca and not Dangerfield.

It's a stupid rule anyway.

And to think this is all because we won a grand final.
On ya AFL

Headline should read
Dangerfield free kick awarded by stupid ruck rule

Migh have to make an award for this type of free kick

There's cheating and then there's gamesmanship. Danger didn't cheat, he exploited a horrendously flawed rule.
