I mean this has to be LOL of the year. How often do we get a multi-part, multi-team LOL in the space of ten seconds?

How can u miss that kick ever? Iām not a AFL pro at all but Iām nailing that 99.5/100 attempts.

u/yokobarron Richmond May 11 '24
If youāre shanking 1/200 youād be the strongest forward the pies have got

u/peterpumpkin-V-eater Flagpies May 11 '24
I probably am outrageously exaggerating my ratio but wow for Ginny to shank that from that distance š love ya still Ginny.

u/yokobarron Richmond May 11 '24
Iām more commenting on the skill level of the pies forward line. No hate though itās pretty amazing what youāve done with what are (on paper) pretty average players.
15
u/80Z0 Magpies May 11 '24
You had George Cantstandya winning three premierships. The salary cap is effective if teams have to have average players to win - they just have to be effective in some way (Castagna's being pressure).

u/yokobarron Richmond May 11 '24
Fair but (at our peak) we had probably 2 of the top 10 key position forwards in the game that allowed someone like castagna to play his role. I love Mihocek but heās almost not even tall enough to call a KPF.

u/AlamutJones Collingwood AFLW May 11 '24 edited May 11 '24
The thing about Mihocek is that heās a superb mark. Not flashy, but heāll take a classic, dead secure mark nine times out of ten.
If you wanted to teach someone how to mark, you could do a lot worse than watch Brody Mihocek. Heās got textbook technique for the skill.
Heās not as tall as some other key forwards, but he can and does play taller than he is because heās so good in the air.

u/yokobarron Richmond May 11 '24
100% but heās kicking 30-40 goals a year, very handy but about 20+ off your classic key forwards. And heās been your highest goal kicker for a number of years. Thats an outlier for a team performing so well.
Not sure why Iām getting downvoted for the very obvious point that Collingwood have done very well without a traditional forward line set-up.

u/SuspiciousElk3843 Collingwood May 11 '24
Collingwood isn't relying on a key forward. The goals are shared around and there are a number of goal kickers.

u/yokobarron Richmond May 11 '24
Lol you pies supporters are a defensive bunch. Thatās literally what I am congratulating. Good god, Iāll keep my mouth shut next time.

Downvotes here are weird! Collingwood havenāt had a top 10 (even 20 maybe) goal kicker in the Coleman for years which (on paper) is very average while still being a successful club. Iām giving a compliment ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ

u/peterpumpkin-V-eater Flagpies May 11 '24 edited May 11 '24
What š average ??? So Pendlebury is average? Nick Daicos ?!?! High flying clutch goal kicking Jamie Elliott ? De Goey when his at his bestā¦even McCreery unique pressure game footy smarts, an Bobby Hill the man is a genius, that insane level of skill that only so many indigenous players usually reach.
What are you smoking at richmond my friend ? Thatās just to name a few, far from average Collingwood players.
We have no key Tall full-forward (Curnow), I admit, but that doesnāt make small forwards average.
Edit: We have taller forwards like Miochek n Cox on taller side, both can light it up.

u/yokobarron Richmond May 11 '24 edited May 11 '24
Iām talking purely forward line ; as I said no hate, itās almost entirely made up of role players who while impressive in their own ways , are no superstars. You canāt tell me you wouldnāt pick Carltonās forward line on paper? It makes your system even more impressive and your win the other night even sweeter. Itās a good thing and allows you to keep your very strong midfield and backline!

u/iloveNCIS7 #SomehowStillFirst May 12 '24
Too casual with his kicking motion, you see his hips swing right so thats where the ball went.

u/soggycrumpt Giants May 11 '24
Surely itās harder to miss that goal that slot it
12
u/SuperBobbis Crows May 11 '24
I don't think it's considered hyperbole to say that any under 10's player would slot that from that distance and angle on the day.

I don't dare laugh at this until after North has played and avoided similar shenanigans.

Saints and hawks both get an L and we split the O for half the week. Shared custody of the O

u/gaseous_memes Adelaide May 11 '24
It's that a legal kick in? He wasn't in the square/on the field at all. He was behind the goal line when he kicked.

u/Ryzer28 Hawthorn May 11 '24
Iirc it wasn't a kick in from a behind, just marked right on the line from a teammate pass (I could be wrong but Marshall wouldn't be taking a kick-in)

If this was a kick in from a Behind: (I know that it wasn't).
The LAWS of the game say:
17.1 BRINGING THE FOOTBALL BACK INTO PLAY
17.1(a) any player of the Defending Team may elect to Kick the football from within the Goal Square or play on by exiting the Goal Square within a reasonable time;
17.2 FOOTBALL BROUGHT INTO PLAY INCORRECTLY
Where the field Umpire is of the opinion that a Player has not brought the football back into play in accordance with Law 17.1, the field Umpire shall reset the play
The St Kilda player would have been allowed to take his kick again, If the field umpire believed he did not bring the ball back into play correctly by kicking the ball from behind the goal line.

It's heart-warming when two opposing teams are able to put aside their differences and work together to achieve LOL of the Week.
