    Skunkhead wouldn’t care about oaths!

    You aren’t…..wow!

    I hope Charlie concusses a few Cats players, now he knows he's sacrosanct.

    But are they nice enough guys???
  5. Jumping Jack Clennett
    Me too………..but I’m glad, because I want Brisbane to take the wind out of Geelong’s sails.

    The tribunal actually besmirched Lever’s character saying he is an expert at milking frees. It would be amazingly quick thinking for him to jerk his head back after hitting the ground. It all happened so fast he didn’t have time to use his free arm to break the fall. Saligo threw his head back after Kozzie brushed his face. No- one said he was trying to draw a free.

    Butters?????

    I’d like to add Steven Icke to the list of great recruits from other clubs. Courage personified in a weak team. I guess you’d have to add Peter Moore, though he didn’t shine in the above feature. Brian Wilson, too, who helped get strong again in 1987.

    Don’t let’s be rude to dogs by comparing them to Maynard. I quite like the sobriquet “skunkhead”. Do other Demonlanders think it’s not inappropriate? Or is it offensive to skunks?
  10. Jumping Jack Clennett
    Great , thanks! I’d forgotten about that.
  11. Jumping Jack Clennett
    Is this game available on any TV station?

    Two instances of incredible football irony occurred last round. 1. Picket’s suspension because of the “Maynard rule.” Brayshaw(and Melbourne) suffered deeply when Maynard viciously poleaxed him in the final last year. ( no penalty). Picket’s indiscretion was in no way similar to Maynard’s, with absolutely no injury, but he’s suspended because he brushed the face after trying to spoil, and that’s the new rule. 2. Carlton’s win after the obviously touched mark. We lost the final to them last year, because , in Q 2, Nibbler’s goal was disallowed due to replays suggesting possibly, but not definitely,the ball brushed Marchbank’s finger. Carlton and Collingwood don’t seem to realise how blessed they’ve been with recent controversial decisions.

    He reminds me of Garry Hocking on appearance. Great if he plays like him!

    Saw it twice only on Foxtel

    And the free kick count was kept under wraps.

    But in the instance I've illustrated in the opening post, the Carlton player picked up the ball, saw an opponent approaching, and dived his head between the tackler's legs. (as mentioned above, very like the Viney incident in the 2021 GF, but there's more emphasis on head protection nowadays) The umpire that gave Carlton the free just has no understanding of the game. This was not a difficult adjudication....it was an egregious error. If that error is repeated, serious injuries will inevitably follow.

    Most umpiring mistakes are understandable and forgivable, but not an error as ignorant and significant as this.

    I witnessed a shocking decision by the umpire in the North/Carlton game on Friday. I have tried to attach a video of it below. The Carlton player received a free for "high contact". I think this is worthy of being a new topic, since it is such an important digression from the AFL's determined efforts to lessen concussion injuries. Surely the umpire must realise,that by awarding a free to the player who is leading with his head, it will encourage players to adopt this method. The result??? More concussions, even possibly a broken neck. That umpire should be dropped and forgotten. He has no understanding of basic football. Umpire error.MOV

    I like his nickname….”Skunkhead”
  20. Jumping Jack Clennett
    Peter Moore would never have gone for that mark
  21. Jumping Jack Clennett
    It’s about both.

    The commentators kept saying on Thursday night how well the Dees set up “ behind the ball”. But the Sydney defenders countered this very effectively by switching…….a long kick slightly backwards to an unattended player wide on the other side of the ground. Options often then open up along the wings, and sometimes in the “corridor”. Most other sides switch a lot more often than the Dees. Sometimes switching fails ,and the wide receiver has no options upfield. In this case, there’s nothing wrong with switching again, even though it’s frustrating for fans. Did anyone else notice how switching worked for Sydney.?

    On two occasions he performed surreptitious eye gouges.

    Last year we put McVee on Dusty in the practice match. It seemed to show him what’s required . This year we gave Howes the unenviable assignment on the brilliant Bolton. wouldnt it be great if history repeated itself!

    We all should respect a guy who has been so generous to the club we love for so long. He really deserves more than a building at Casey named after his family .
