Football has some of the best athletes in the

world. They’re fast, smart and skilled. The

players have evolved dramatically from smash

em up to highly skilled, like Chris Judd. He

picks the ball up and it looks like the players

aren’t trying to tackle him the way he evades

them. Another is Travis Cloke he just crashes

through packs and the ball lands straight in

his hands; he turns around and slots it straight

through. So here’s who I think is the top three

from each club.

Faking in

Football

Should this

be called a

free Kick?

Page 7: sams magazine

Faking has become more evident in football with lots of people ducking to get free kicks. It’s wrong free kicks are meant to protect players but now players are putting them-selves in dangerous posi-tions to get free kicks. Then when the players who’s got his head down gets tackled the player who tackles him might get fined. But it’s a dou-ble edged sword the player who has his head down can get seriously injured if he’s hit head on.

We don’t want football turning into soccer, people diving in every direction every time a foot comes near them, it’s wrong. Faking is cheating. That’s what Mick Malthouse said and I agree. Angus Monfries has come out and con-fessed he was faking

Another type of fak-ing is when a player is getting tackled and he takes a dive. It’s not just the play-ers that should pick up their game but the umpires to. They shouldn’t pay a free kick when it’s fak-ing. Sometimes when I’m in the stands even I know it’s faking. Even in the extreme case they should maybe get reported after a series of fakings.

Faking in football is growing more evident. Keep the game as it is and don’t let the game turn into soccer. Faking shouldn’t come into AFL.

Leon Davis has gone from an ok player to one of the

best players at Collingwood. His setting up down the

field is amazing and he can also kick a goal. In my

opinion I think he’s definitely in the top 5 of

Collingwood's best players. He unfortunately missed

last years Granny because of bad form, but he’s

bounced back. So here’s my exclusive interview

with him.

What do you think about missing last years second gran-

ny?

“ I wasn’t real happy, but I knew I was out of form and I

had few side issues and wasn’t really enjoying footy.’’

What were the side issues?

“Just family issues”

Do you like your new role as a backman?

“Yeah I do like playing with the boys down back I

think it’s a good role for me I like

Running and setting up. But I also like kicking a

goal”

Have you heard anything about Mick Malthouse (the

Collingwood coach) leaving ?

No I’m pretty sure he’s staying at Collingwood. I really

hope he does, he’s a great guy.

Do you think Collingwood will make the granny this year?

I hope so but there are some tough competition like Geelong

And other clubs are rising.

What do you think about the sub rule?

I personally think it’s a bad thing there are more injuries hap-

pening and clubs are stills getting smashed.
