  1. Hard to present any facts saying OMac was the answer 🤣
  2. Pretty sure they'll experiment for some ideas going into finals. But you don't want to disclose all of your weapons this early.
  3. McCartin got concussion from his head lightly touching the ground Better ban the ground
  4. Dangers was actually two actions One a spoil, two lifting his elbow up and thrusting it in the face of Vlastuin - al in the name of 'bracing for contact'
  5. Its insane how Chol's action is not then also worthy of a 2 week suspension - yet not even reported. And if its because of a stretcher that is ridiculous as Ballard was not injured, nor concussed and will play this week. It was purely precautionary according to the Suns because he said he heard a 'crack'. Max Gawn should lie on he ground and call for a stretcher every single time he gets whacked in the head. The AFL/tribunal needs to explain how this can possibly be so. And explain to players how things will be adjudicated. It is as it always has been - a complete [&^%^%$#&^$#&#] lottery, with big name players and big name clubs having all the good tickets.
  6. Thats curious then. No one has priority to contest a ball. Both players have equal opportunity to mark, spoil or bump etc. If JVR gets there and contacts the ball first what responsibility does Ballard have in terms of putting is head where the ball is? Remember Dangerfield in the Grand Final against Vlastuin? The decision was based on Dangerfield getting to the ball first. The subsequent contact to Vlastuin's head was deemed incidental or in the contest.
  7. Can someone explain what the outcome would have been if JVR had actually connected with the ball?
  8. The stretcher was simply a precaution as he said he heard a crack Oh and we get that [censored] Adrian Anderson off our case. Every time he goes near our club he rogers us.
  9. I reckon we could come up with 30 examples of Cotchin, Hawkins, Cripps and other 'name' players that have gotten off way worse incidents than this. What a shocking corrupt organisation the AFL is.
  10. The JVR decision is insane particularly when compared to this in the same game
  11. Hawkins and Salem are completely different. Hawkins can sit in the goal square and still get the best defender.
  12. Three wins in 12 days is a great effort. Hadn't realised the tight schedule. The club would have been delighted if at the start of the season you said they would win all three.
  13. Having just watched the replay I was shocked there were at least 4 holding the ball decisions that should have gone the way of Kozzie. He really gets the raw end of the deal with the umps. Disgraceful. Umpiring looked OK live but on review was terrible. Even if we were the beneficiary of some dubious ones late.
  14. Salem needs a good block of work before he comes back in. 1. He seems to take a while to get back up to speed after injury and 2. His injuries and Thyroid are not issues where you can easily maintain fitness.
  15. Our accuracy would be much higher if Max could kick....
  16. He was throwing up on the boundary line. A very accomplished actor by the sound of it
  17. he was in my eyes
  18. Cunnington punched Bernie Vince in the guts an got away with it Sniper
  19. Shots at goal Set position 15.1.91 - 6.3.39 Our shots in goal this year have been outstanding. Such a change from a few years back. Take a bow Choco.
  20. Coaches votes are a lot more accurate about a players game than the Brownlow.
  21. Dangerfield? Yeah, OK Kane.
  22. Its only been a week, He gets out of the Concussion protocols on the day of our next game
  23. He's extraordinarily difficult to deal with and always keeps other clubs waiting till the last minute. He is the road block on trade week mostly. And Ess have nothing to show for it in over 20 years.
  24. Really? Thanks Karl Marx
  25. Agreed The CEO of the AFL is probably in the top 3 of all sports positions in the country. Its such a part of the fabric of our culture that you can't expect an outsider to waltz in and be across the huge number of issues that must be dealt with on a daily basis. Imagine a candidate from the US that had little idea about the sport or the country or the networks that make up the code. Its a home grown code that punches above its weight. An 'insider' was always going to be the favoured candidate but they would be remiss if they didn't take a temperature check of other candidates.
