I don't think it's nice, you laughing.
Whatched the Dixon moment. Should the 30seconds not count from when the player has the actual ability to play on? Kind of hosed if you take 20 seconds to get untangled from other players.

didn't he take like 5+seconds to stand up? if the clock started when they "get untangled" they'd just be intentionally tanglng themselves for minutes to run down game time

The 30 second rule was probably the "rule of the week" and we'll see it another 10 times in the next three days

It's a good thing Melbourne are too poo poo to be in a position to lose a game from it or I'd be hosed

The 30 second countdown clock is controlled by the stadium operator, not the AFL. Lol.

We lost and I'm salty but hosed if I know how anyone umpires this game? :iiam:

One mans holding the man is another mans play on, one mans holding the ball is one mans incorrect disposal, one mans ducking is one mans too high. hosed if I know?? :confused: :confused: :confused: The amount of holding that goes on from defenders that is no longer called baffles me as well. Every marking contest the forwards can barely move but only like 1 in 10 gets called.

Such a weird game at the moment.

It really doesn't help when it seems like certain players just have a different set of rules to everybody else. Dangerfield & Selwood in particular seem to get away with murder since Selwood is always ducking while Dangerfield drops the ball in tackles all the time or just plain gets an eternity to get rid of the ball in a tackle before they call holding.

Cats got the rub of the green for sure but I was at the game and the countdown clock on the scoreboard got down to zero which prompted the play on call. It wasn't the umpire's count. Dixon needed more awareness.

The countdown clock hit 0, the crowd screamed for it, he got a few more seconds, STILL hadn't run up, and then got called.

Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.
I mean the fixation on that one issue ignores the 'protected zone' moss, Robbie Gray being worn like thermals and Selwood getting closer to the ground than a Cossack for pulling frees.

Adelaide couldn't arrange a trade for Kellie Gibson, so she's a free agent and basically going home to Fremantle for nothing.

Seems that way.

The AFL are terrible at announcing things regarding the end of the AFLW trade. You'd think they would post all the trades and re-signings that were submitted and approved now that the period is over.
But nope, it is upto reporters to try to do all that and they've all knocked off now because it is Friday evening. This is probably the best summery, although it is still missing some things such as Gibson being "delisted" and Carlton haven't posted any delistings or their full list of re-signed players yet: http://girlsplayfooty.com/2017/05/aflw-trade-period-summary-grades-and-re-signeddelisted-players.html

Okay fine, they finally posted the team lists for 2018 (minus rookies) for each club in the league. Took them two hours though...
