Jaded, fair's fair, Bell did the worng thing and made himself and the club look ridiculous - Yze (who you will bake at will) has stood up to Barry Hall in the past and when it was Bell's turn he came out of it looking like a girl.

If ever there was a need for a hard bodied senior player to go and stand up to an opposition player then this was it, instead Bell was left out to dry. Very disappointing.

have not seen the inncident , and i would like to... i dont encourage acts of stupidity but i do appreciate them when team mates get involved....

Please, we hang Davey out to dry when he remonstrates with the opposition and gets suspended, but Belly is weak for not getting sucked in by Brogan?

i guess he must have never played indoor netball

I'm not suggesting anyone whack the bloke which is what Davey did, which was dumb, but at least let the opposition know that we won't be physically intimidated. Allowing yourselves to be pushed around is a quick route to regular thumpings.

u might not suggest it.... but i will..... someone should come in a take him out.... carefull not to start an all in brawl.... and try not to get urself reported.... but this drives fear in the oppositions eyes.... i would not be dissapointed at all if he were reported.... as i was not last week with davey....

ur dead right.... i got hawks vs dees on tape from early last year... and yze stands up too campbell brown and robert campbell who is about 15 cm bigger than him....

If anyone has some footage of the game handy I invite you to look at this.

yes he did. brogan made him look like a bit of a girl. brogan has a few screws loose and he is a big unit. I dont know what bell could have done for a split second i think brogan lost control. bells reaction actually stopped him from cutting him in half.

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take another look at it...

Have any of you guys ever actually BEEN scared before? What happens? Your eyes go wide, you puff out your chest, and you angle your body ready for a fight or to scamper. Bell was JUSTIFIABLY confused when Brogan came up to him. He went to bump Wilson, and when he missed his arm went out and Wilson ran through it. He TOTALLY took a dive, and it all happened in Bell's blind spot...

He looked like he was lost (which is an expression we're used to with Belly, bless his cotton socks), but that was not the face of a man frightened that he was going to be hurt by a ruckman who needs anger-management classes.

Not only are you all making a mountain out of a molehill, but I don't believe there was a molehill there in the first place.

The point is, as Nasher rightly points out, whether you are right or wrong, or whether emotion has gotten ahead of itself, or even sometimes when a player takes a dive you MUST be there to support your team-mates... The message it sends to supporters, coaches and most importantly the guys you're playing with is that if you throw yourself in there and HURT an opposition player, you will have to deal with the retaliatory strike on your own... Does this make the young players go in 100% every time? Well... with Belly, he likes to hit hard simply because he likes to hit hard... He's been doing it on his own all year, I doubt he'll stop trying to lay players out because of this...

What worries me is that this is not the first time this year a player has had to go it alone.

It would be nice if players actually stood up for each other (Ironically the young players are the ones in the side who mainly do in Jones, Beamer, Brock and Col) but honestly I couldn't really care less what Belly did as long as he goes when it is his turn to go.

And BrownlowBruce, please stop condoning what Davey did, I love Flash but he seriously needs to stop worrying about his tagger and doing the best he can going hard at the BALL.

Getting reported like that is just stupid.
