And that is the value of Hogan and a good crumber like Garlett. Hogan doesn’t mark it, but he brings it to ground. Garlett gets the goal, but that was Hogan’s as much as his. Not to mention the dangerous kick into 50 by Nathan Jones.
Regional Victorians still don’t get access to the HD channels. That’s the boat I’m in, which is one of the major reasons why I subscribe to Foxtel. That and the fact that it’s pretty much the only way I get to see my Demons play (since they’re almost never on FTA).
Looks like the Saints have let this one slip. Best possible result for us, really. Shows we didn’t just beat a crap team, but also stops one of our Final 8 competitors getting the 4 points.
Fine, then rejoice in the fact that one of our rivals for the top four (West Coast) may lose a game they would’ve pencilled in.
I don’t care about “credit”. I only care that we didn’t just beat up on a ratshit team last week.
I’m interested to see how the Saints go tonight. I know it’s against West Coast over there and so it’ll be tough, but I’d hate to see them get blown out of the water. It would put a bit of a dampener on our win over them last week.
With this new “Nomination for the ruck” thing, surely the opposing team’s ruckman must be notified as to who he’s actually up against before the ball up happens. Jacobs didn’t have a clue his opposing ruck would be Rioli; he still thought it was Vickery.
The idea behind the rule is if you’re inside 10 metres away and under pressure, it’s not a free kick. The Sydney player was inside 10 metres and under pressure, so it’s not a free kick.
