Matty Whelan

[Pates 9,660]

There was an incident, in the 4th quarter i believe, where he ran right through a player who was going to ground. I'm a big fan of his, but i won't be surprised if he gets a week or two for it. (Especially given the match review panels record)

What does everyone else think?

I didn't see it so I can't say. It'd be a shame if he got suspended; he's coming into some good form.

That's funny, I didn't think any Eagles except Wilkes, got close enough to a Demon to be involved in a tackle.

probably the accidental result of trying to evade one demon.. runs into another..!!

Very sharp observation Redleg.

[heartbeatstrue 57]

I think Beau Wilkes should be reported for head-butting Jamar in the bread basket

[godees 858]

We had more tackles at half time (37) than WCE had for the entire game (35). Says it all really.

Yep. Too agile and quick for the Weagles.

[heartbeatstrue 57]

Nonsense. They weren't trying.

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Is that the one on Priddis?

If so, yes, I agree that Wheels could be in trouble.

[Guest Golgothan]

It wasn't Priddis, it was Nicoski if we're thinking of the same one. And he's got nothing to worry about.

Nicoski had the ball and Whelan decided to bump instead of tackling and knocked the stuffing out of him on the Southern stand side wing. There was no free kick, the ball spilled out and Whelan won possession. Nicoski spent a few minutes on the deck, trainers came over to him, then i think the quarter finished.

I thought it was fantastic, it was legal and a good hard bump. Nothing wrong with making a player feel it as long as it's within the rules.

Match Review Panel has already sat and he hasn't been sighted.

The one I was referring to was when Priddis got a head-high bump on the left 50 flank in front of the Olympic Stand. Priddis hand-balled it to Lynch, who then stuffed it up.

I'm 99% sure that's the one i'm thinking of. It didn't look massively malicious but given their history on head-high contact i wouldn't be surprised to see him go for it and if it's the difference between 1 week or a reprimand, i's say we take the week rather than have the points hanging over his head.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Nothing was mentioned on Ch.10 sports report.

And you'd be happy to know Jamar does not have a case to answer for standing still while a player head- butted his stomach

[45HG 1,539]

Wouldn't have been surprised if Maric got 3 weeks for "pushing" him into Jamar, like what happened with that Carlton bloke

[maximum bob 462]

If there was one bloke from our team you could guarantee landing a heavy yet legal hit it'd be the Wrecker.

(I'm sure James Hird would agree).

On form and commitment atm, let him mentor the emerging backline in the finer arts of defensive play for as long as he's got the motor.

Hard at it back-men kill opposition goals.
