So then going off this, JVR should have actually have gotten suspended for his hit on Ballard right?

What are our other options?

You can only laugh. Still genuinely shattered. This game tonight will eat me up for the next 6 months over the summer.

Your seeing this attempted smother as a full on disguise? Wow.. ok.

Still am.

My partner who barely watches the Dees pretty much said the exact same thing. I think the moment also was when he got that Bronx cheers from Collingwood supporters when he shanked that kick on the boundary.

I think we've worked it out fairly quickly the ones who haven't played contact sport/footy....

But they are though? Some on here are saying he jumped to intentionally bump straight away when his first intention was to smother the ball.

If he maintains this position all the way through then it's a straight up head clash between the two. I think he's tried to brace himself last second the moment he realise he didn't smother ths ball and had forward momentum towards Gus.

Does this not look like a smothering acting to you first? Certainly does to me...

He was moving forward towards Brayshaw and jumped with momentum to smother the ball. If he tried to brace himself he still would have hit Brayshaw regardless because of his forward momentum. As he was coming down you can tell he's trying obviously avoid face to face contact and that's why I think he turned to try and brace himself.

I'm with you on this one also.

This hurts big time.

He chose to jump and attempt a smother and then last second tried to brace himself for contact as he was coming down. Play this in normal speed and it all happened so quick that I don't think he had time to even try and turn away. These footballing motions happen so quick in games that sometimes it's just hard to react quick enough.

At a point where I honestly don't care. Still bloody shattered. I had too much faith pre game thinking we'd beat them and beat them well. Slim pickings anyway. There's nothing there that'll improve our forward system anyway.

Hysterical? I'm sorry for calling people out when we're all of a sudden wishing ACL injuries on people. Unbelievable..

Are you dead set serious? Cannot seriously believe you're justifying that Maynard and Cox deserve to do their ACL's purely because of a contact hit in football that yes, was unwarranted and he'll be dealt accordingly. And please don't ever say I don't know anyone that's been through repeated head knocks. A 24 year reserves player from our football club was told mid year that he has to stop playing football for the rest of his life because he received his 12th head knock. You wishing ACL injuries on people is lowest of lows regardless who they are.

Don't give a [censored]. I don't wish that [censored] on my own worst enemy. Clearly never done a long term injury and the mental struggles you go through when you're trying to rehabilitate all over again. It's a contact sport where there'll be big hits here and there. I don't like what Maynard did also but wishing him and Cox ACL injuries is disgusting. Didn't think you'd stoop this low.

Sums it all up

People wishing season ending ACL injuries to players? Seriously pull your [censored] heads in. Why on earth are we stooping to that low, we're not the Collingwood and Carlton supporters of the world ffs.

Thid is desd set embarrassing

It's last years finals all over again. Ridiculous amount of inside 50s but struggle to score. Unfortunately we're just not making the most of our opportunities with the list we have. This will be the one we look back hard and cost ourselves big time.

Literally just handed the flag to Collingwood. Here i was thinking I had full faith in Goodwin, but how wrong was i. We're heading for a straight set exit in finals two years in a row purely of arrogant teams selections and senior players failing to stand up when needed. McDonald, Salem, Chandler Laurie were absolutely trash. Petracca and Gawn were the only ones willing to stand up but unfortunately the rest didn't want to follow. McDonald can honestly retire for all i care. Needed that goal to just completely turn the game and he had a mare. So disappointing.

Blew our chances unfortunately. Senior players like Tom McDonald and Bailey Fritsch missing is disappointing

Started well then has turn to crud. ill Discipline as always.
