Redleg

Hopefully a good win tonight, as we need to string a few wins together again.

Caulfield Racecourse must be one of the windiest places to run around (as a human not a horse). A regular training venue for distance runners particularly Glenthuntly athletes (think the late great Ron Clarke). 
Footballers would get used to windy conditions. Maybe a good thing. 

If we can arrange training with some dew and high humidity that would be good as well.

No need to worry about that there is already a tunnel to access the inner part of the track. After all we do love a tunnel here in Victoria.

Also that tunnel was also for the horses in training to get from the stables to the track.

There are no horses in training there anymore.

I am certain there will also be access from the administration/training facilities to the ovals on non race days.

Caulfield is always windy when my horse is facing the breeze. 

That could just be the wind from the horse in front of yours.

Absolutely. He is a jet beaten down by being in a poor constantly developing side.. Unless there is an A grade key position forward we can pry out (which I cant see) we need to improve our midfield quality and speed and he has it in spades and fits our age profile.  

Agree completely.

Its all part of the AFL's 'special herbs and spices' they use whenever they want to make something up that the rules don't allow.

The confusion is in part because the AFL/MRO flip flops between assessing the action vs assessing/imputing the impact. 

What is the “ potential to cause injury” when you jump up after running at full pace and brace and hit a bloke coming the other way, who is looking at the ball, with your shoulder, flush on his face?

Disappointed if Kolt is dropped.

Think you have to give new kids a small run at it, not just one game, especially where the whole side was pathetic and he was far from the worst.

New kids need confidence and dropping him in the above circumstances is not helpful imo.

Let me outline Yze's game plan.

1. Don't kick it high into the Richmond fwd line

2. Chip the ball into the fwd line. Dirty balls work well against the Dees.

3. Avoid May and Lever

4. Pressure them relentlessly and watch them crumble

5. Avoid May and Lever

6. Jump into Gawn's back at every single opportunity. Hold him scragg him - he never gets a free so don't worry

7. Shake Olivers hand really hard at the start of the game. Give him lots of high fives

8. Avoid May and Lever.

9 Above all and if you have forgotten everything else, avoid May and Lever

Our game plan should be don't let Bolton touch the footy.

I didn’t think Hogan’s slap was any worse than several others that have got fines or completely let off.

It was retaliation, other player wasn’t hurt and it appeared a reflex action more than a deliberate attack.

1 week for Toby was a gift, potential to injure was high.

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”?

I think we are now into about 8 months on this and no result.

Imagine if he was a Chinese swimmer and they found that his sample was contaminated.

I saw them taking a leak all over Port. 😭

Just saw McCreery and ex-Pie, now Bulldog Poulter having a coffee.

Really wanted to ask McCreery if he would like to come across to the Dees.

His pace is a real weapon. Good player.

So what Greene should have done is go for the mark...

In effect he would have nearly killed his opponent if he had of gone for the mark.

 

That's not true.

If he simply put his arms out to take the mark, no issue.

He braced and hit other player's face with his braced arm and shoulder. That is what they are trying to stop. The aerial or on ground shirt front to the head.

Might be lucky and get a week. Giants would be mad not to take that.

The more I reflect on that game, I feel we would have won if Gus was knocked out. It was a very close score and it's not unreasonable to believe being a quality player down would have changed things were it not the case. 

Plus the fact one innocent player can't play anymore. To let that offender play in the Gf was a very poor effort and so very wrong.

Experienced player averaging 30 possies, gone in first few minutes, replaced by a rookie player who got a few meaningless possies.

Players in shock for at least a quarter.

One fresh player down for nearly the whole game.

We lost by 7 points.

Yes you could argue strongly that hit cost us the game and possibly a flag. Most thought the winner of that game would win the flag.

I'll keep an eye out for it in future.

 

 

I wouldn’t say it’s the lowest.

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

Does he qualify for the good bloke defence?

The GWS V Brisbane game on Anzac Day could just about be the end of Brisbane this year. Long way back from 2-5.

Toby, Coniglio and Taylor out helps Lions.

Thankfully we have great commentators. Darcy at 13 minutes to go in game, with Cats over 4 goals up, in rain, says ” if Lions are to win, they simply must get the next goal, you would think”. Yes most of us would think that. Lions had only kicked 4 goals for the game. Then at 9 minutes to go, he says “ the Lions need the next goal” and at that point they are nearly 5 goals down.

Maybe I am being a bit hard, as most of them are just ex footballers, not professional sport commentators.

Stengles been puuurty good in this second half.  Been in eveything.  2 goals

How could Tigers and Crows get rid of him, even if he was a bit naughty.

Well you don’t know that. Concussion protocols are one thing, recovery from concussion is another. It’s not always linear. 

Back it in.

I’m watching the Derby. What happened to Stewart? We play Geelong in two weeks 

Concussion. Back for us of course.

Now Blues play Cats without Stewart and coming back from a heavy interstate slogfest.
