I'm convinced Eddie Betts is superhuman.
JEEZ I'd love a dangerous small forward with his swagger.

Would you like one of our players high fiving and hugging an opposition player during the game? I wouldn't.
It was fairly harmless given the state of the game at the time but I don't like the look of it when you are meant to be battling the opposition with everything you've got. A low key well done would have sufficed, save the high fives for after the match.

Depends on the stage of the game. I wouldn't want to see it if it is a close game.
I only watched the last quarter, and there was a moment where Stack beat Betts to a ball and gave Betts some lip. About 5 minutes later Betts kicks another incredible goal, and Betts gives it back to Stack, and then the high 5. I think Stack was just showing him respect and the game was really well over.

Loved it. LOVED IT.
Particularly in the context of the game that was deader than our finals chances.
You reckon those two blokes are going to go any less fiercely at the pill because they're capable of a bit of sincere mutual respect? The banter was actually a corollary of them jousting all night.
Gary Lyon of course had to puff out his harder-than-thou chest and declare "I HATE IT."
Onya Gaddy. Here's a big, ice cold glass of garn get f*cked.

No I don't think it would effect their effort at all. I certainly don't hate it and I don't think it's any big deal, it's just a perception thing to me. The banter is great, the physical contact I think is too much. I can't ever imagine myself doing that with an opposition player in a game and I'm hardly playing for sheep stations.
Would you be ok with it if Bont was to do the same thing with Cripps after he kicks a miracle goal on Saturday night as the Blues are running away to another comfortable victory?

Just watched that video for the first time.
I'm seriously shaking my head in disbelief that this show of sportsmanship is seriously upsetting some people.
The ball was dead, and a player that Sydney probably idolises has just done something ridiculously freakish right in front of him. I don't blame him for being caught up in the moment and to suggest that t would have affected his resolve or his focus on the game once the moment is out of the way, is quite simply laughable.
Honestly, I wish there was more of this stuff in elite level sport. I love it.

Re: AFL Game Day R13 2019
The Crows are having a season that is like ours in many ways but almost a polar opposite in others.
They lost the first few, we won the first few.
They have been awful (probably worse than us) but have been chalking up wins. They have put on 20 points in no time in games that they really didn't have any right winning. Nowthey are a shade outside the top 4.
In that same time we have lost 4 and are only a Saturday night loss away from being just ONE game clear of Carlton. Yeah. That's a thing.

No wonder there is an apparent epidemic of mental health concerns among players when some want to squeeze every ounce of fun out of the game.

The Hawks seem to be one of the few teams still susceptible to the run and gun scattergun style of play.

Re: AFL Game Day R13 2019
It’s awesome.
I love the balls that he was into Eddie all game. And I watched as that goal went through and couldn’t believe it. Massively worth a “ok, you win” high-5.”
Nothing wrong with appreciating and respecting your opponent.

Re: AFL Game Day R13 2019
I’m not upset or outraged, but I’m not a fan of the mucking around with an opponent. Leave it until the game is over as far as I’m concerned.

Re: AFL Game Day R13 2019
Didn't watch the game tonight, but did flip over to see the scores, and it was when Channel Seven were highlighting the arm of an Essendon player where Stratton had been pitching him all night. The Essendon player had about 10 bruises on the back of his arm.
This is blatant cheating and childish.
Edit: It was Fantasia's arm
