Redleg

Thursday night at the Cold Cattery, with no Dees fans and struggling key forwards. Should be a great night. A win would be brilliant.

Tigers to contest suspension for Vlastuin. They should, as he only smashed the young kid in the face with a forearm, behind play. It just stuns me that he gets a week and challenges and has form I think and Chandler, with no form, copped two for a legal tackle in play, that only went wrong when the victim hit his head. Not a bump to the head, but a legal tackle in play and then the accidental result. The whole system is a joke and again the big clubs fight everything. I would give 3 weeks at the tribunal, for the Tigers being idiots and it being a dangerous blow behind play.

Tomlnson was great last year before injury. This year he has been fantastic at Casey, but put in a poor one against the Swans. I would have tried him up forward, to see if he could have helped the totally out of form BBB, while Tom is out. With Turner coming along well, that will put pressure on him, but he is not useless.

Well the elbow must be protected.

Probably none. They have Dixon, Marshall, Mitch and Finlayson. 4 marking forwards. We have Fritta, a mid size and then BBB and Weid available.

You can understand that, with Cats’ form, played at Geelong, Cameron and Hawkins hot, against our undermanned out of form key forwards and uncertainty about our ruckmen.

Well if you want to put it like that, we should close down DL and all social forums and only deal/discuss the serious world issues. Probably a good idea to cancel all sport and leisure activities while we are at it. Blistering was making a joke, you do realize that don't you? Think you went a bit over the top don't you think?

True 8 point game.

Kozzie gave Butts one in the bread basket, but in play. We will see.

Correct.

But these aren't mistakes. This is blatantly being scared to award the opposition there correct free kicks for fear of crowd reaction, pure and simple. Are you saying it was just mistakes that saw us get 3 free kicks in 3/4, when we are up on possessions and ultimately win the contest? These were two very inexperienced umpires, one a local, who were obviously not wanting to upset a feral crowd. It's not good enough in professional sport. These umpires have to be spoken to and told, " pay what you see or that's it."

The punch was higher, probably the ribs and would hurt at that instant.

He kicked 2 goals for the day, both from dubious free kicks.

And what would Scotty, Dimma, Simmo, Fages, Hinks, Ratts, Horse and others have said and done about that?

Surprise, umpire 20, who I don’t think paid a single Dees free, is an SANFL umpire with little AFL experience, having one AFL game before this year. Jamie Broadbent. Umpire 31 Paul Rebeschini had 8 AFL games before this year. Both would have been affected by crowd.

16-3 after quarter time. That is not an accident. Are umpires 20 and 31 locals? Well done boys, no ruck and beat 21.

We have had 1 free in last 2 quarters. Nothing new.

They don’t need glasses they are seeing everything. They are choosing which frees to pay. We got none that quarter. Crowd thinks that is too many. We have a Captain on the ground and he should be asking why it is happening before they start the second half. Also this bombing into the forward line to a one on two or even three is just dumb. Kick it wide or along the ground, to get our small forwards into the game.

Been going all year and we say nothing.

Nothing new.

We just offered the house on the top to Luke, as holiday home for the family, if he re signs for a long term.

Are they still running VFL games on Kayo or only AFL app?

I think if you wanted to leave your manager wouldn’t fly in for talks. You would just say email us your offer and we will consider it and then keep stalling. This does sound a little promising. But then again!

Hopefully a slight strain, needing a week's rest if you are being cautious. Allows time to do other things, like discussing your contract.

I recall us playing WC in Perth some years ago, where in the first half the frees were about 20 nil their way, then we got our only free in the first half, a few seconds before half time. It didn’t improve in the 2nd half. We have had shocking runs against the Dogs, Pies and Blues several times.
