I didn't know this before but I heard on the radio earlier today that the Dickmond player , Rance ,who crashed head first into the Loins' Selwood on the weekend ,with disastrous consequences , was the same player to help cause Brad Green's broken jaw earlier this year .

Karma ?

No. Just part of the game.

Both incidents were accidental and we shouldn't wish the kid bad.

You're probably right , but it's ironic just the same .

I wouldn't have thought so, he just hurls himself at the ball - a trait that is usually loudly applauded.......

Green hit his shoulder, after doing the same thing more or less, and came off second best and that was unfortunate but no-ones fault

The Rance-Selwood hit was awful to watch and Alex has suffered the consequences this time, maybe that's ironic, but personally I hope he makes a full recovery.

And I also hope that he doesn't change being a gutsy courageous player, just maybe with a few less casualties!!!

Rance shows no fear and runs straight at the ball with his head down. Credit to him its certainly brave but he may just have to watch it in future. 2 facial injuries in a handful of games isnt a good start.

True, but I don't think Rance was injured in the Green hit though........

Poor Brad was the only one who wore the full brunt of that one unfortunately.

No karma here, just another example of some incredible guts from a kid that knows no other way to play.

The Selwood incident was an accident, just as the Green incident was.

I wouldn't have thought so. Both Rance and Green had eyes for the ball. It was hardly intentional on Rances part. Could have easily been injured by Green as Green was by him.

I hope the kid makes a fully recovery and is back throwing himself at the contest once again. He's definately one of very few Tigers worth watching.

Just another example of some incredible stupidity from a kid who was never taught not to lead with his head. Once again we see the results of the AFL's attempt to protect players' heads. More head injuries.

Ageed. The kid values the ball more than himself. What more could a coach ask for?

If with a corrupted mind we should either think or act, then suffering follows that.

If with a wholesome mind we should ether think or act, then happiness follows that.

If Rance tried to get Green or Selwood injured, then it would be Karma.

Nice post

I like that

I does make me wonder what the "right" frame of mind would be in a competition sport where people try to out do each other, not talking about the collisions here, just the frame of mind that it takes to beat an opponent. Prime example is in cricket where players hugely celebrate the dismissal of an opposition player

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
