Can someone please re-post the link whereby you can listen to the radio in synchronisation with the tv :) TIA

Through the SEN app is the only one I know

Always looks to be jogging. I would too if I played for Norf.

If he marked it then he would have been contesting the ball, which is legal. Bumping the face whilst not contesting the ball is reportable.

Surely GWS argue he was contesting the ball. It did hit his arm but I think he lost sight of it, which would explain why it hit his arm and wasn't marked or dropped. He is paying the tax for sure as their are other players who most of us could name fairly quickly that would not be having to worry about an appearance this week.

if he didn't turn and brace but continued the marking attempt the end result could well have been a knee into boyd's face and both players more seriously injured.

if they insist he shouldn't have turned at last split second they would have to explain what he should have done and what that likely outcome would have been.

it was a catch-20 of choices

And yet taking the least dangerous option (bracing) results in a suspension when continuing with the marking attempt likely results in no case to answer and a possible fractured skull for Boyd.

not quite accurate. the ball that bounced off his shoulder was in fact deflected by boyd so wasn't on its original trajectory.

greene was entitled to contest the mark and leave the ground.

at the last split second it became obvious a collision was inevitable

so the question is was greene allowed to protect himself? he couldn't avoid the collision.

additionally was this accidental or careless in grading?

I can't believe he got a week. Was going to mark then the ball changed trajectory, so he braced for contact. If he marked it the conversation would not be being had.

Sadly I believe given the reasons for him not playing he cannot be out on a LTI list. 
It is  however taking a hellova long time. What has happened to “justice delayed, justice denied”?

If he played for certain other clubs, he would have been cleared and playing again already. Most of them won this weekend.

Off a 5 day break after our game against the Cats.

And with the umps on their side.

HQ be very happy with Bummers, Filth and Cheats all doing well.

Umps and Fox commentators both lifting for the Pies

Still laughing at this. Their whole club gets this by default.

NGA rule changes costs us Mac Andrew and now possibly Kalani White? What a joke.

I think the bidding should be before the trade period. Not sure how it would work but allowing teams to trade out first and second rounders for 15 junk picks is ludicrous.

And there are people on here who scoff at my repeated comment that WWE is the only honest sport in the world.

Tribunal said he had no prior suspensions. Didn't look at previous fines or incidents then.

It's clear they do whatever suits their interests. Want Lions to beat us, give Kossie a week. Want Lions to beat Geelong, get Charlie off. Maynard, Cripps, the list goes on.

Random thought - does the AFL have to follow any rules, or are they able to do whatever they like? There's no legislation regulating their decisions and we all continue to buy memberships, merchandise and go to games.

We have clearly [censored] some people off at AFL HQ. Non suspensions, ludicrous fixturing, one sided umpiring. 

Winning a flag probably didn't help over their darling Bulldogs.

Cameron cleared. What a corrupt joke.

Brisbane certainly has the wood over us, have had for a while now.

Last 8 against them I think is 5-3 our way, and 2 of those we thrashed them. Not sure they have the wood.

I expect we will be 7-3 or 8-2 after the West Coast game.

Assume they'll try say it was low impact and not medium impact?

When we appealed for Kozzie the tribunal concluded that the contact had the potential to cause injury, surely the same logic should apply for a dangerous tackle?

Well yes, but I expect the Bears will win this. Corrupt league and all.

The commentary is like it’s the 2014 Hawks playing current WC. 

Blues have finals once in 11 years and it’s just we know the Blues will win….

zero respect for the Crows or their fans

Classic Fox Vic v interstate fanboi commentating, and Hairy Garry as bad as any of them.

Carlton fans think the free kick count every week should be 156-0. Entitled morons after 20 years of being rubbish.

Essendon Fans Blaming Umpires page on FB a bit redundant at the moment. They are getting a Carlton like run.

Bevo gets off light as so many ex Dogs in the media.

I swear Demonland post loss is unhinged. 

It's the end of the world after every loss. Even wins are not much better.

Noah Answerth = [censored].

4-2 is OK. Not sure why we are umpired like Richmond though.

Umpiring has to be clear direction from their coaches
