Sometimes there’s just a knee jerk reaction though.
Gary Rohan has his leg broken bc someone on the ground going for the ball slid into him. Now there’s no below the knees contact allowed.
Very often, in that situation, from what I’ve seen, the guy on the ground actually getting the ball gets there marginally ahead of the player coming in, but he still gets penalised.
It happened exactly once from an incident like that and they changed the rule immediately.

Mild compared to Ben Long being rubbed out for the potential to cause injury when no injury had occurred
Who do i hate least out of Collingwood and Geelong.
I think i'd really like Geelong to drop out of the 8, and it shits me that scott doesn't have visibly grey hair or wrinkles.

Is it wrong to want Collingwood to win, but hate Jamie Elliot, smug little twat.

As it should Watto. Was an absolutely stupid biased adjudication that didn't make sense then and never will.
Reckon the Saints that played Sydney last week would have beaten either of the Cats or Pies i'm seeing tonight.
**** I hate Geelong.
To sound like a petulant child it's not ****ing fair that a club gets all this pork barrel government help while also continually contending

And they all constantly whine about how they always get the short end of the stick.
That being said it would be extremely satisfying to see Collingwood lose here, would make making finals a lot tougher for them.

I hate Geelong as much as the next Saints supporter but I hate Collingwood more so tonight was a good result.
A draw would have been a better result though where neither team won.
I visited Mozart's house in Salzburg, one of the least interesting things about that city, a lot of other better things to do there.
Like the Sound of Music bus tour me and a mate went on, neither of us had seen the movie but they served beer on the bus.
The beer made the Sound of Music songs they played on the bus tolerable and they take you on a great scenic tour of the joint.
It would have been better if an Asteroid landed in the McG, wiping out both teams, and then they made all the residents of the MCG pay for a new stadium.

Oh good, Geelong hit the top 4 and have what I'm going to assume is the easiest run home playing 1 top 8 team in the final 6 matches of the season.

Re Heeney, I would have been happier with the free kick Webster deserved but that’s not how it works for Heeney. He gets protected like some sort of rare giant turtle. You aren’t allowed to go near him or your are infringing all sorts of unseen protection acts.
So all I can say is… suck sh it! You should never have been at Sydney who used pick 18 to secure you when you would otherwise have gone at pick 2. Everything about the fact he even is at Sydney and the protection he is afforded makes me happy with this result.

As long as they push the Bombers further towards being out of the 7, it’s all good for me.

I think I prefer the red card system that football or soccer has.
If you do something reportable, you sit out the rest of the match. Of course if it's only ten minutes towards the end of the game, that is not much for a penalty but at least the offending team doesn't have a week to plan a cover for the offending player. It has to deal with penalty right there and then, which would thereby discourage players from committing these types of fouls as they would throw their team's strategy into turmoil.
It always seemed a bit weird that you could have some bloke go off his chop, belt a bunch of oppo players and just carry on playing out the game.

They didn't even pay a free kick. You don't want those people deciding who to send off.

Pies certainly in danger of missing the eight with a pretty tough run home. Hawthorn, Richmond, Carlton, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. They're currently on the equivalent of nine wins, so will need to win four of those final six to get to thirteen wins and sneak into eighth. If they lose to the Hawks next match...
