Agree. What Lake did was highly dangerous - not only did he potentially obstruct his airway he risked activating a reflex mediated by the carotid sinus that slows the heart and drops the blood pressure leading to loss of consciousness and possibly cardiac arrest. Hence Peter Larkins comment that if he was the club doctor and was close by he would have no hesitation running on the ground and attempting to push Lake off. The AFL has to make a stand about this.
I think most supporters, like the players, have mid season fatigue and are getting grumpy. The initial excitement has worn off and the stark reality becomes obvious. The list is shite and many on I it don't and never will have what it takes. We still need to press for a priority pick and address whatever the issues are at Casey because development still seems a massive issue.
Reckon he might get about 6. Off field that would be a serious assault. The AFL will not like the look for the game and they will go for the throat in the way he did.
I know Grimes is copping a lot at the moment but he's struggling to make our best 22 let alone be a Captain. Doubt he would get a game inmost other teams. Jones should be the stand alone and Grimes relieved to let him concentrate on footy. Maybe he is paying the price that Trenners paid and the outcome should be the same. It's a bit irksome seeing him in post match interviews bemoaning silly mistakes and poor turnovers when he is a part of the problem.
I am not a Grimes hater and have never posted any criticism iof him before. I think it is clear he is a very average footballer and his onfield performances are no where near what is expected of a Captain.
