Apparently the eagle at optus decided to rogue and just keep flying around for awhile 

Darcy got 2 weeks & west got 1 for his high contact on joke. I reckon west could fight his

1 hour ago, whatwhat say what said:

their forward line is built around ground level smalls providing ground pressure - moore, ginnivan - plus an aging breust and gunston, and a spare parts option in chol

they've got a gun father-son in dear for the future tho

really, the best tall forwards come out of the first round, academy, or father-son selections

I was thinking that too..then you consider that they just kicked 5 against us

The legalisation of shoving players both hands in the back to get them out of the way to take a mark is driving me quite spare

Are the umps out West still waiting for the AFL pigeon to arrive from Victoria with the change to the HTB info?

What drives me even madder is that when a forward is pushed, they exaggerate the result and fall to the ground or otherwise  remove themselves from further involvement in the play and get a free.  Whereas a pushed defender doesn't dare take themselves out of the play and gets no free for the same amount of pushing.  Sorry I mean holding their position.

Nah they have it but think it's for WA teams benefit only.

The AFL will ensure Reid does not cop a suspension. 

He should get a week,  but will probably get off

That’s got to be a suspension to Reid… 

Schofield is a peanut.. 

Also Will Schofield shouldn't commentate WC games, the bias is incredible

if reid gets a week for that then neither he nor darcy will be eligible for the rising star

Give it to Caleb 

Schofield is a [censored] of the highest order.

It will be interesting Ethan . In my view it was a dead set sling. 

If he gets off, the system is even more corrupt than we already think.

The inconsistency in the holding the ball decisions is still way out.

No. They sent a letter by plane. No fuel, so cancelled flight.

Duty of care. Turning a player around and pulling them backwards in a tackle puts them at your mercy regarding contact with the ground - and here the head indeed makes ground contact. A silly tackle.

Yep; surely a player with only a dozen games under his belt gets to plead the Charlie Cameron defence...

Of course he will. I bet if the Saints player got concussed he'd get a week. David King made sense when talking about the tackle.  

Umps have missed at least 3 obvious HTB for the Saints.

Especially for a fair dinkum footy act.

 I mean let's be consistent at least.

Is Maynard one of the league's players most hated players?

Vaaarrnt of a player Maynard, he better not turn up next week at Casey coz I will personally let him know ALL ABOUT IT

Reid has to go for that tackle 

Head into the Ground 

But then there is always AFL corruption to deal with 

Gee this is actually turning out to be an exciting game 

aints looked miles better since king went off
