Re: AFL Round 21 2016 Discussion
I don't care who we play as long as it's not WC in Perth. Imagine how many free kicks Shuey will get over there for a slight brush of the neck. Fair dinkum that bloke is a dead-set submarine - sniff a tackle coming and it's batten the hatches and "dive, dive, dive." Makes Selwood look like a paragon of virtue. It's high time the umpires are instructed not to pay these gossamer-soft free kicks. To continue doing so is a blot on the game. If I want to see a stage performance, I go to a theatre.
Sport has been compared to theatre but I, for one, don’t want the MCG to become a cauldron in which the "masters of the dive" are able to ply their dubious skills with gay abandon, safe in the knowledge that their obedient accolytes, the umpires, are going to come rushing forward, whistle trilling, to gift a goal to a sly, cunning, sneak.
And, BTW, Toby McLean does NOT dive. It just so happens that every time he gets the ball in a congested situation, he is surrounded by much taller players who lack the agility to tackle him fairly and so resort to illegitimate tactics to thwart him. No Bulldogs players dive. It is against their nature. Bulldogs are up-front and aggressive. They are not dodgy, shady types who wait around corners, ready to snipe, or sleight of neck merchants ready to contort their bodies into unnatural positions in order to milk free kicks from umpires WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!!![URL="http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau"]http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau[/URL]

Re: AFL Round 21 2016 Discussion
Richmond are just hopeless. I listened to the last quarter. Martin was mentioned twice, Cotchin once. So disappointing for their supporters. How I despise Geelong.[URL="http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau"]http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau[/URL]
