Spot the Diver

[Ghost Dog]

In 2010, the AFL instigated a host of tweaks to the AFL Tribunal system, targeting fakers who staged incidents.

Perhaps this was done to draw a line in the sand between AFL and that round ball game.
Looking back, has the rule made a difference, if any?

Have you spotted a diver who seemed to get the slip.

Who is the worst diver in the AFL (current player ) and historically?


My vote: Buddy Franklin, Didak equal first. Loyd as the all time great.

Our captain is pretty good at it.

Watch Rhys Palmer become the greatest diver of all time.
Perhaps even greater than the great Che Cockatoo Collins.

Re: Spot the Diver

Brent Harvey could have his name thrown out there, if only for that dive all those years ago at Manuka that saw Matty Boyd reported for nothing.

As another point, do you classify the likes of Joel Selwood, who frequently throw their heads back, as divers?

Liam Picken is pretty good at that too.

In Selwood's case yeah, he has it down to a fine art. Then again he is kind of short and does cop a few coat hangers like our Liam.


And yes, Brad would have made a fine soccer player.

Alwyn Davey anyone? I wish someone would rip that rubber necked little pricks head right off for real one day.

Picken is usually doing it for real, I cant believe some of the places he puts his head.

Re: Spot the Diver

I cant believe Pav wasnt cited last week after his dive in the goal square with no pressure or no one around him.

That was one of the funniest moments of the season. Felt sorry for him. I'd be devastated if that happened to one of ours.
