Ta Beezlebub, I had a moment of contemplation but thankfully it passed.

feel for you rtg, i have some brief moments of clarity occasionally

generally followed by long periods of claret

bit soft but not worth challenging.

rather lose the big guy for 1 rather than 2.

so dumb of dawes really. It was intentional, and he had been close to doing something like this since he came back this season (see Jaensch).
It is great he is physical, but his physicality after they have disposed of the ball is just clumsy, has done this a few times and was bound to get caught.

Hope he learns from it as he is vital to our structures.

Yes and no Song. I know it was dumb but he sends out a statement to opposition that you may not get a cushy ride out of defence .

that's great he sends that out to the opposition, but now he'll be sending it out to the opposition from up in the stands. Frankly i'd prefer if he kept his physicality smart, and keeps himself on the field. He has been knocking blokes down after they get rid of the ball in every game, was bound to get reported soon. Almost could have for the Jaensch one, but he hid it very well.

it's ok, it is cause we both love the big galoot.

Agree with the theory but not the methodology

You can achieve the same thing by delivering a shirtful of sore ribs - like he did to the Adelaide bloke. And not get cited.

Meanwhile, Roos said the club genuinely wanted to challenge Chris Dawes’ one-match suspension for striking Richmond defender Alex Rance.

“We would’ve loved to have challenged it – there’s no question,” he said.

“Sometimes you take your punishment, rather than getting an extra week, so there’s no doubt that we felt that Dawesy – based on some of the other decisions and I don’t want to say it was an incorrect decision – but we probably disagreed with the decision.

“You go and risk another week and you just can’t do that with the unpredictability the way it is.”

From the MFC Website in the article about Racism.

Basically they felt the decision was wrong but the system is so bad it was safer to cop the ban.

yeah it was a nice little swipe he took at the system there

The system or the people passing the judgements?

Absolutely right call as we want to maximise the chances of beating Collingwood. Logical and pragmatic. I'm bemused that some DL posters thought we should go to the tribunal and risk the extra week.

Nice to get a quiet protest in though and one of the advantages Roosy has with his slot on 360 as he said much the same thing on Monday night (before the decision had been formally reached and conveyed to the AFL though he implied they were not going to challenge it). Ridiculous that it was medium impact. Should have got a reprimand at worse.

both

On AFL 360 tonight they crossed to Dawes who is at the MCG for the Sleep at the 'G and Robbo asked him who he will be sleeping next to tonight.

Dawes' response (or words to the effect): "Alex Rance as he is still laying down somewhere on the half-forward flank".

Whack! Classic response.

Sleep at the 'G - I knew it would catch on .

It's become trendy.
