AFL Round 16 - Non MFC Games 2017

[RalphiusMaximus 6,031]

It looked a lot worse from the back than from the behind the goals camera.  From behind it looked like he ran JJ right into the post.  Other angle shows him push him in the back causing JJ to crash headfirst into the post.  Perhaps not that much difference, but it could be the difference between deliberate and careless.  Either way, it's significant impact to the head, so if they decide he's liable he should be gone for a couple of weeks.

Footscray won last years GF on pure emotion, and good luck to them

But it is very hard to repeat emotions. 

Beveridge is going to have re structure all of his coaching methods to win another one.

Just had a look at the walker hit it's an interesting 1, he chose to bump would be same if he bumped him into a fence it's dangerous and I think Tex is in trouble that had the potential of being very nasty, broken neck nasty 

was thinking the same

fascinating that the commentators made no comment

They did make a comment and it might surprise that it was a particularly stupid one.

Don't remember if it was Taylor or Carey but they said he was trying to shepherd the ball through for a goal...

The strange thing was that the ball was already through before he touched JJ.

Dogs won the flag and deserved it, but they are no powerhouse thats for sure.  Hard to see them making the finals from here, they look a disjointed mess.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Sloane walking off the ground with ice strapped to his calf - could he miss next week?  Tex could potentially be rubbed out as well.  It will take more than a couple of blokes missing to win next week, but it's a start.

Bulldogs have four very winnable games in the next few weeks:

Carlton, Suns, Bombers and Lions .... will decide their finals race ... but not out of it

Nup. they're gone. Just woeful in the second half. Very similar to our game against them actually. Reasonably competitive to half time time then folded like a pack of cards. Something is crook in Tillabruk.

Fox Footy on Tex's dirty push: Just a weird accident, nothing to see here, deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Anyone who doesn't think the media has a clear agenda to protect certain players is kidding themselves. This will be conveniently forgotten with haste.

The Tank is empty. Will be amazed if they switch back on this year

Hodge copped 3 for hitting wingards head into a post

Tex Walker deserves at least 2 weeks for that, was so dangerous and he knew exactly what he was doing.

Watch the AFL let him walk as if nothing happened.

I can almost guarantee Tex will play next week, so don't get your hopes up.

Unduly rough play. One week reduced to nothing, cause they're playing Melbourne next week.

The damning part of this footage is the way JJ's body bends as he's pushed.  He clearly put a lot of force into that shove. 

[Jibroni 4,987]

He shouldn't be suspended for that and his intention was to shepherd the ball, no send Johanasen into the goal post. if that happened up the ground it would not even be a free kick. Plus he was back on the ground 5 minutes later anyway.

[Pennant St Dee 13,135]

Lets be honest. Not worthy of a suspension and we'd have a 20 page thread if a Dee got outed for that. FCS some of you are embarrassing and certainly don't watch matches openly 

[dees189227 12,373]

So is anyone else going for the pies today or is it just me? I really really want them to beat essenscum. I want them to lose so it will decrease there chances of making the 8. We are 2 games clear of them and 3 games clear of the pies so we can affored the pies to win. 

Plus Im sick of seeing Bucks in the news everytime they lose. 

The dogs last night, if they kicked straight it would have been a different story. Sure they still would have lost but it wouldnt have been as bad. The hawks didnt back up in 2009 and the dogs do have a pretty easy 4 weeks. They just need to work out there best 22. They do make a lot of changes each week. 

Oh and Tex will be fine. JJ wasnt fully concussed. I want Tex rubbed out but only because we are playing them, otherwise I would be saying no way should he get suspended. But gee scary to play the crows after last night. I forgot how tall there forward line is.

Sort of agree with you

But

the AFL is saying the head is sacrosanct and must do due to concussion issues. Therefore any head contact deliberate or accidental that causes head injury must be penalised.

It seems Tex action was late and dangerous. If on any other part of ground not so dangerous but a player could strike the ground with their head from such a legitimate and deliberate tackle. 

We have seen some erratic actions and decisions on contact to the head so I think we are all pretty open about the issue.

The recent ignoring of the strike to Clayton jaw and the Selwood incident shows the difference applied to individual incidents. This incident will just add to the inconsistency.

The AFL must support its "sacrosanct" statements with a meaningful minimum penalty irrespective of subjective analysis. Not likely to happen so see Tex playing next week.

Only a fool would want Essndrug to win.  If they lose their season is over and its one less challenger for a spot in the 8. 

Richmond beating St Kilda would be great for us too.
