monoccular

Selwood is such a prjck .... poked a guy in the eye after a mark, then stomps his shin, then smirks. 2 missed set shots will prove very costly to the Dogs

SEN calling for a 50 meter - the "offender" was running full pelt when the mark was taken. What is he supposed to do??? (Not sure what the idiots on 7 said).

Selwood just couldn't believe he was eventually penalised for throwing.

Like everything we hear “based on best medical science” - please explain. Could easily have twice (or 3x) the number with distancing. But that would be far too logical and liberating.

All this talk of protecting the head - the commentators seem to praise Selwood for “an ear massage”.

Of course is he hadn't turned up for work that day it wouldn't have happened. Exactly. I rarely listen to any of the TV commentary these days .. so boring and frankly idiotic. And yes I remember I think in the Norf game one of our guys got belted on the head after a mark and they loved it. Not sure if they have enough brain power to be able to be hypocrites - probably just brain dead themselves.

Agree 100%, yet, like the last two non decisions in the Adelaide game, correct decisions at pivotal moments could well have changed the result. If that were to happen in a GF would there be more scrutiny?

That is where we differ - your opinion is that he elected to bump; mine is that he turned to go for the ball. Of course if he elected to bump he deserved 4-6. If the AFL want to put an end to head knocks, then have a look at how many deliberate head high hits Max gets every week, and Clarrie did especially last week. And don’t start me on that protected thug Mummy, and Nankervis. They get away with sniping week after week, including elbows to the head in ruck contests. Utter hypocrisy.

Rod Owen?

And who will take his rôle until Tomlinson returns to defence? Majak? But SHocking and Gil tell us repeatedly that the head is sacrosanct, and if course Christian does too (when the commentators highlight it) ?

Trade implies two parties each wanting something I believe that he had been, but it is certainly not an option this year in the absence of Tomlinson.

Have been a big fan, but also lost me Monday. IF they don't think BBB is an option, then Mitch Brown or even Majak would provide a better contest.

Thanks for that … but what is the average over the year and over the competition? Strangely I was far more confident trailing badly against the Bears at half time than when we briefly hit the front yesterday. There just seemed no intensity or excitement in the playing group. Much like 16 points up on the Crows with minutes to go.

At least we are unlikely to come across Colonwood or Adelaide in finals ??

Bitterly disappointed overall today. The ball (watching on TV) only came his way a few times. Not really sure who would want him at the moment. Amso very uncertain if BBB would have done any better quite frankly with the pathetic delivery forward.

McDonald “distracted”?

… or bloody well kick with commitment

I guess Melksham will get a recall. ?

Cooked. How many contested marks, how many inside 50?

Will be very very lucky to get away with this. Myichek!!

Tracca ?

Touched — paid the bloody mark!!!

Jacko!!!

ZERO system going forward .
