What I find jaw droppingly confundicating is that in the Match Day thread, the only mentions that ANB got were critical of his play early on, after which there was no mention of him at all??!!! Then, to make matters worse, in the Post Game thread where posters were giving us highly detailed lists of players that impressed them and why, again not one single mention of ANB!!

The guy had 83% game time, was equal second in possessions with 23, and his tackling figures were in the top five. He worked his [censored] off for the entirety of the game, and was one of our most effective players.

He was without a doubt one of the best on ground and certainly deserving of much more credit than the Demonlanders give him.

*Scratches head*

really? i thought a lot of people were saying how incredible his workrate and defensive efforts were

which they were, and have been for a long, long time

B: McVee - May - Tomlinson
HB: Rivers - Lever - Bowey
C: Langdon - Petracca - Windsor
HF: Neal-Bullen - van Rooyen - Billings
F: Schache - Fritsch - Chandler
Foll: Gawn - Salem - Viney
I/c: Laurie - Howes - Sparrow - Pup Brown
Sub: Woewodin

Now 4 nil and only 18 minutes in. Wow go tillies. Crowd getting good entertainment tonight 

5-0

good forward connection, eh?

16 marks i50 wowee

salem is excellent in midfield - both with his disposal and his defensive workrate

it's extraordinary that I can't decide whether gawn, petracca, or oliver are the best players I've ever seen play for us

If McKay doesn’t get 3 weeks for that, nothing has changed. 

yeah, looked fine on replay

well Harry McKay should be missing first few weeks - cleaned Bowey up

Numbers of the non regulars please. 

who is 22?

blake howes

hibbo replacement

salem as a mid kicking i50 - yes please

baggers get away with a lot of throws and just dropping the ball once they're being tackled

we're really leaving the corridor open with the way we're playing

howes is gonna play opening round I would say - frees salem up to go thru midfield and rivers / bowey to play sweeper role

hibbo replacement

At the swans, Luke Parker has broken his arm and their captain, Callum Mills has a wrecked shoulder he did wrestling on mad Monday (where's the media beat up on that? - i mean getting [censored] and wrecking your shoulder is just boys being boys is it? And hes tbeir captain! Cultural issue i reckon). Both players are huge for them.

he was made skipper AFTER this happened

Didn't Brad Miller (or was it Brent Moloney?) get done for almost bumping someone. Something about he just missed but the action was suspended. That one has always been high on my ridiculous meter.

moloney

he missed, and still got suspended

4 weeks is a pretty hefty outcome for SPP and Port and he is such an important player for them. I thought he might end up with 3 weeks given the player was slung into his path and the time he had to bump, brace or tackle.  Overall btw 3 - 4 weeks seems reasonable and if he was a Melbourne player most if us would think 4 is a bit harsh. 

recidivist and did it in a bad week in which to elect to bump not tackle

the worst one I've ever seen is neal-bullen's suspension for a sling tackle - where he let go of the crom dude and his head clunked the ground due to the whipping motion; there was no sling

from memory, anb got three in a 17 game season; we appealed and it got EXTENDED to 4

disgraceful

almost as bad as when trengove copped 3 for dangerfield being a wuss, going down like he'd been broken in half, and being perfectly fine the next week when he dominated and booted 6
