2014 - Ken Mcgregor medal Top 10 AFL spud award

[Booney]

IIRC the umpired blew "time off" as the Dees player ran around off his mark. He then handballed to Vince before the umpire had set the mark and called "time on".

Shouldn't have blown time off, there was no need - he wasn't lining up for a shot at goal, and the umpire wasn't corrected his angle etc, so why blown Time Off?

Once the umpire "calls you around" and you don't listen, he blows time off. So he was, in fact, correcting his angle. I don't see the problem.

Why not call "Play on"?

Fair point, but it's one or the other and that umpire chose one over the other.

Anyway, we've managed to take this ever so enthralling thread right off track.

[Ron Burgundy]

Maybe the umpire is the spud.

Time off is the biggest load of baloney in football.
There was no need for him to call it.
And why do they constantly call it during the late stages of the final quarter and not earlier in matches?

Watson from Carlton wow what a spud!

[whufc]

With 8 zillion afl teams and lack of depth this thread may need to change to 'whose not a spud in the afl' thread

Schoemakers and Watson have been awful to wach to tonight. Both have been given a bath by all of their respective opponents

Schoenmakers is still behind Chaplin. As Chaplin is the worst key position player currently in the AFL

Liam Anthony and Spud Firritto

Liam Anthony and Spud Firritto

Firritto is no superstar but I've seen him play a few handy matches for North this season. He's a hard player in a team that really needs that quality and normally provides a good contest if he has the speed to get to it.

[Ron Burgundy]

Firrito can play supercoach though, that must count for something.

Joe Daniher has potential

Has been ordinary tonight but is top 10 in the comp for contested marks ahead of guys like Pavlich and Cloke

I reckon this kid is going to be a star. Big and mobile and attacks the footy hard. He's going to be a very tricky match up sooner rather than later.

Yeah im probably being a bit harsh, he just looked so out of place last night in the 1st half, definitely didnt attack the footy hard then. He has no 2nd efforts, is a liability when the ball hits the ground and does not put any pressure on to keep the ball in the F50 and cant tackle. Apart from that he looks the goods
Mind you not many key forwards get a kick on Lonegan.
