Sneaky handpassing.?

Question

why do afl players try to do the look away handpass after that geelong player up it annoys me wat do you think

Answer 1

i think its a bit show offey but they hav 2 make sure they pull it off or they look totally stupid

Answer 2

It's effective if you spend hours practising it at training sessions and your mates 'know the call'.  The reason its effective is as an opposition player, you're trying to anticipate what the other guy's doing, usually by watching his eyes, his movements and his calls.

If you decide at the last minute to try to look good by doing something flashy like that, chances are you'll end up looking like a goose!

Answer 3

**It doesn't normally bother me providing that they call pull it off.  It's so frustrating watching them do it and then the player they're handpassing too isn't looking so they lose possession of the ball.**

Answer 4

There just trying to look good

Answer 5

It only bothers me when players are trying to show off and they turn over the ball.
