No it it is not. Watching it in real time the tackler did nothing to prevent a head clash to the ground. He didn't pull him back or make any attempt to roll him,but chose to ride him into the ground with the tackled having only one arm to protect himself. Other players have been suspended for less.
Well with our previous President doing work for the AFL in Tasmania it is not hard to see why we didn't demand, or at least ruffle feathers, over more H&A games at Geelong and for finals. Don't bite the hand that feeds.
If they should have more supporters because they won 3 GFs, then the same should apply to us. Only a small increase really given population gains overall.
We would have engaged Head hunters. They phone all and sundry to see if they get a bite. If they do it makes the job easier for them. If not then back to taking what comes along.
Perhaps but what is interesting without him other players step up. Some of them are better kicks, some of them better team players. Some of them don't defer to him.
Never buy that 'we should have been well ahead' stuff. The reality is that the AFL wants a close competition, the TV wants close games, people who watch but aren't supporters want a close game. The second reality is that the standard of Umpiring is poor. Saturday nights decision cost us a...
A REMORSEFUL Tom Hawkins will miss Geelong's blockbuster round eight clash against Collingwood after the AFL Tribunal suspended him for one match on Tuesday evening for intentionally making contact with an umpire.
Don't panic, this is old.
But can we be forgiven for thinking that Hawkins is...
No- one brings more than Ablett and Taylor. Ablett was such a creative player and such a beautiful kick. He led and was followed. Taylor so reliable, great hands and backline backup. The back line players would have felt so secure knowing that he was there and he didn't have to be quick just...
We are a joke, needed to win this by 100 for respectability and confidence. Instead we get this. But on the up side perhaps it is time for a revolt from us. Demand change. Enough of the BS from the new President, enough of the stupid KPIS of the Board/Club, enough of recruiting old player...
Suggest that he learnt more at Hawthorn and at the MCC. He may be interseted but right now he has one of the best jobs in the land. One that Cook was said to be the 'one for it'.
And yet watching osmemo9f last nights game WC did a good job of mimicking us. Slow short kicks across the back line slowly moving it forward. Think our problem is between the ears or perhaps between Chris Scott's long untidy hair and beard
Perhaps he doesn't agree with the GFC KPI- stay in the competition for a Premiership. That is don't rebuild just top up with established eg old players

Tom Brush Geelong: Hey, we have a really good player, that’s doing a great job in defence. Let’s move them to another position! Ben Graham, Harry Taylor, Mark Blicavs, Jack Henry.
