Re: Save our game! I wish this had of happened to hawthorn or Collingwood. Jeff or Eddie seem to be the most outspoken Presidents, not afraid to go on a rant. They would also be more likely to take this shit to court or assemble the other clubs to vote out this admin

Re: RIP: Tackling in AFL I understand your point and it is valid, it is also the problem. The rules are wrong, simple as that. Nobody knows the rules anymore. After watching/playing the game for years you shouldn't have to look up the rules. they shouldn't change so much and the odd one...

I thought the Mumford one was crap as well for what it's worth. The Geelong boys were sledging him and giving it to him all day the he basically picked up Ablett and body slammed him. It was awesome. It was more deliberate and Mumford is twice the size of ablett. It wasn't exactly the same as...

Clubs need to revolt

So he contested the decision and lost yes. He still can appeal and go to the tribunal or whatever, yes? If he ends up suspended after that the game should be no longer described as a contact sport

It's a disgrace. The players should seriously considering going on strike. The game is turning to shit

I was getting angry at players dropping, throwing just getting the ball out of tackles and not being pinged, then Giesh explained it on sen. Now, if you have prior opportunity you have to correctly dispose of the ball unless it is pinned. If you don't have prior opportunity you don't have to...

Re: Worst call I have seen in a long time It was because there was no Saints player forward of him. Granted, it was a shocking call but the umps are sick of the Saints negative game plan and penalised them for having no forwards ;)

Re: Concussion rule = Fail What about "I got kneed in the face so hard I took me about a minute to get up. Then I went to hospital"? I know I'm not a Doctor but I would've thought there was some degree of concussion with J.Brown tonight. And M.Clark. Both stayed on. Both went off because of...

Re: Concussion rule = Fail I think he is saying the rule encourages players and football staff to risk player welfare by leaving semi concussed players on the ground. When in the past they could come off have an hour rest at times then return. Now, the rule encourages them to stay on and...

Re: Concussion rule = Fail They have eyes and it is obvious. I didn't see the Davis one but both Brown and the other Brisbane player wouldn't have got up after a 10 count in a boxing match yet both tried to stay on the ground at all costs. That's 3 examples in 5 games. Hmmmm

I agree, he did mention a couple of incidents though which i have forgotten. I think things like Didak against brisbane, Brad Johnson when he grabbed his head and went down like he was shot which started a small melee even though he was never hit anywhere near his head. It's there own fault...

So was Didak's then. The amount of force is irrelevant, it's the placement of the contact that is relevant. Having said that both are piss weak and should just stop diving.

Anderson was saying on the radio that it will be reserved for incidents involving no contact. A full on dive, excentuating even the slightest contact is OK according to him.

Re: 6 weeks for Mathew Lloyd - Confirmed How many did Maxwell deserve then? Rocca busted Murphy's knee in a tackle, how many did he deserve. Outcomes shouldn't mean shit, only intention and application should be considered.

Nah, it is quite obvious who is crying. They cry and get hysterical when their player hits someone They cry and become hysterical drama queens when their player gets hit They cry about umpires hating Buddy and double standards They cry alot. Essendon would be proud of Lloyd, he turned the game...

I guess anyone who remotely touches a Hawthorn player will be suspended then. I have never seen a team whinge so much. I thought they were supposed to be tough. Nothing but a bunch of crying pansies

He will be rembered as a champion. He hasn't brought shame to his name at all. The way Hawthorn fans carry on is more shameful

They should take it to court.

Re: The Hawks are idiots! Stupidly worded rules forced their stupid argument.

Re: Hypotheticly........... They would of course ask Benny if he was on drugs. Seriously though, players have a rep of lying to protect one another. They would ignore his testimony and judge solely on the footage.

Poor Brisbane had to run and cry to mummy Demetriou. I thought Browny was a tough guy, not a dobber. It is a well known fact that it is un Australian to dob on others, Hypocritical to be bullies and then complain when bullied. Give him another vial of painkillers, some extra cash and STFU
