Actually it was a perfect sling tackle. Arm pinned, spun and slung with no opportunity for the tackled player to protect the head hitting the turf, which it did. The only reason he wasn't reported is because Dom got straight up for the kick. 

Exactly.  If that wasn't a sling tackle, we need to erase the word "sling tackle" from our vocabulary because there's no such thing.

According to BigFooty it's because he's torched his reputation forever. I have a feeling he's regretting having dived.

He's had 1 kick and 9 disposals overall. Could also be because he's not playing well right now.

A deliberate elbow to the jaw is a deliberate elbow to the jaw.

Wonder how those tosseRs on the MRP will squirm out of that?  Insufficient contact? Accidental ?  or careless?  

Maybe, yet again, the Dees will be the test case - 3 weeks for exaggerating contact??

Who knows with such a corrupt wing of a corrupt organization.

The Oliver jab seems pretty soft but Oliver isn't a soft player so I would imagine the chest punch slipped up and copped him on the chin. He wasn't happy that's for sure. 

First quarter we were smashed and were lucky to have the lead, but I think the second quarter was pretty even and we've earned the right to be in front. Hannan needed to kick that goal before half time. 

We can win this but I feel like we need to get cleaner with kicking.

I agree too. Text book sling tackle. Thought we were lucky at the time but replayed confirmed it.

Jack Trengove would be pretty pi55ed off if that isn't cited.

i doubt oliver was staging, his a kid who got a swipe in the chops from a pretty hefty player that took him by surprise. he has always seemed to be a pretty tough kid from what I have seen. he certainly looked [censored] once he got up and still [censored] in the rooms.

As we all know, you're fighting a 4 goal umpiring bias in the west, and you'll never see a more obvious example than Jeffy's perfect dispossessing tackle in that last bit. The very definition of spineless, unaccountable umpiring. 

Quite amazing to see it go Eagles way....and yet:rolleyes:

WTF is Jack Viney on?  That first half was insane. 

We need a lift from the rest of the side though.  We're missing targets and letting WC off the hook far too often.  We should be well up by now.

From the angle they showed on tv there's no way you can guage the level of impact

Jack Viney has 16 contested possessions.  There are only three other players on the field who have 16 of any type of possession (Tyson, Lewis, Mitchell).  Playing the game of his life, the skipper.

That is an incredible effort.  Needs some support.

Agree if a side can kick the set shots and the ones running into an open goal they win. We should be 3 goals further up!

Exactly. He didn't see that coming. and it would have really hurt. There is no way he dived, west coast guy gets weeks..

Given what players are out and where we are playing....Ill take our small margin in front. 

This game is up for grabs.

Does Petrie have an opponent?

 

8 to 4 makes inside 50

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
