When Melbourne can't match physicality-they flop

I must admit, I did chuckle to myself today when Goulding was defending Sobey, Sobey got the step, Goulding bumped him and Sobey made a slight push off. And they both flopped!! Not too obviously, it was subtle but it was there.

The call was foul on Goulding (correct call) but not before they both flailed their bodies just a fraction.

Classics, both of them

Golding runs AT Drmic's elbow and then flops. For me, it's a tech for flopping. By the way, I am a Wildcat fan who umpired for 10 years.

Sobey is the king at flopping and also when he drives to the basket he starts squealing before any contact.What a pansy.

So were Melbourne flopping last night or playing too aggressively? Adelaide can't make up its mind!

BASKETBALL fan.

It wasn't a charge it was meh. Childress IMO is fragile.

Strange that when Childress ran in Barlow's muscle you start a topic on United's lack of physicality. Just sayin

I didn't say Sobey flopped more than Goulding in Game 3 -- although Sobey produced two abhorrent flops last night -- I'm saying generally Sobey flops more than Goulding and he's better at it than CG

Haha in game 3 Sobey got head butted by Wesley. Imagine if Goulding got that hit??
Take of your rose coloured glasses manu. Sobey can def be a tool no doubt, but game 3 Goulding went to another level of flopping. He was embarrassing

I don’t think that’s a fair criticism of Melbourne. They’re a good defensive team and I think can more than match Adelaide in physicality. And both teams can flop or emphasise contact. I think G3 was more a case of the refs biting on things they shouldn’t have. Call the tangle with Goulding a double foul. Ignore the Drmic bump with Goulding and either double-foul or ignore the Prather-Sobey thing after a warning for Wesley with Sobey earlier.

There was a bit more than that but nothing crazier than was seen in G1 or G2.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t take much to decide a close game.

Sobey is a better and more prolific flopper than CG43

Just spotted the Melbourne boys walking along South Tce by the Sage Hotel. Probably ducking out for a bite to eat, maybe a stroll in Veale gardens

Tigers on a four game slide.

The Crocs have won their last eight games against Melbourne, and haven't lost at The Cage for over two years.

Yet everyone is tipping the Tigers.

What's your take?
