Stiff Arm

Hawkins and his miraculous ability to hit his opponent high strikes again. #sniper

Mores the pity

That's gold QD. Love your work

Following that line of logic, Fritter is therefore a no. 1 pick 🤷‍♂️

I'm hoping that we are smarter than dropping a first gamer who did a few good things but didn't set the world on fire. The FD clearly see his potential and a run of games in a successful, winning side is what good teams do to develop players. And we are a good team

It's the AFLs version of the Fibonacci sequence

Our case rests: Not guilty, Your Honour!

3 disp to half time. No score either

Frost-ball torpedo comes straight back for Weid's second. Lol!

Yes, you like to pick a whipping boy but pretend you never did once they improve

KOd is a bit of a stretch, mono

Smith got the kick off before Kossie contacted him. It was late, too late for a tackle. Kossie could also have pulled up or tried to smother. Instead he chose to go airborne with his shoulder, playing the man rather than the ball An interesting 24 hours of deliberations ahead!

Gus as FA compo for Chip Still think the 2 x 1st and 1 x 2nd for Dogga may prove fruitful. Jefferson needs development and size, but looks very good at training. Freo's 1st and 2nd in next year's so-called super draft will be interesting to watch Time will tell

He's hit form at a good time, especially if Kossie is rubbed out. Our small forwards played well last night

That's the only thing going for Kossie: impact to Smith was low. Otherwise: intentional, off the ball, in air at impact, reckless and (arguably) some head contact Doesn't bode well IMO

Further, let's see if they bite consistently, regardless of player star power

Smith shouldn't be such a short arrse

He was a wonderful ruckman to watch. Len Thompson too. Different era, almost a different game back then

Worth remembering that Cripps got off not because of what he did, but because of a procedural technicality, a loophole which the AFL have now closed. He would've got weeks had it not been for that. Kossie cannot use Cripps' charge at the Lions player as a precedent. I reckon he'll get 4 weeks. If Smith comes out and says it was a hit to his chest/shoulder, he might get 1 for reckless behaviour. But it looked to me like there was contact to his head (face), even if chest contact was first. Interesting dilemma for the AFL: Kossie's looked terrible and targetted but Smith got straight back up, Buddy's looked relatively harmless and in the act of going for the ball, but the opponent was concussed. Are they going to punish the act or the outcome, or both?

So you're writing him off after one game? Seriously??? Spargo was good tonight. Another one if your 'not up to it' players, hey?

As I said... Pickett shoulder contact to head Watch https://twitter.com/AFL/status/1637029949206036480?s=20

Look at the vision mate. Made contact with head causing it to pivot back quickly. Might've got shoulder first, but clearly contacted head

Why? It's his first game! We're good enough to keep playing him and develop in the ones

Out: Pickett, Harmes In: Fritter, Viney
