since 2019. While Parker is among the league’s elite midfielders, his strong marking and expert game awareness make him a genuine threat when rotating through the forward line.

[caesar88]

Can someone let me know when Parker is called up to try on the black gloves

 

[HighReeve]

He gave up picks that essentially got McDonald and another first rounder for a single compo pick for Daniher

He gave up Pick 11 for Devon Smith (who?) with some pick shenanigans
He gave up 25 and 30 for Stringer (one of the most overrated players in the AFL who only seems to play well against us)
He gave up 2 first rounders for Dylan Shiel

haha. What.

Daniher was contracted its known Essendon off-field people have influence, they would have done anything to persuade and retain him. They lost a draft pick? Wow. Awful.

You don't know who Devon Smith is?
I spose FYI he won a best and fairest. A draft pick wow.
Stringer is a great player. Two draft picks? FFS who gives a shit. That is truly funny.
Dodoro didn't want to do the Shiel trade but was overruled by board/coaches. One of those draft picks was Caldwell.. who plays for Essendon.

Dodoro has made mistakes as would anyone doing the job two decades.
Before we lucked out getting Dalrymple, Beatson completely wiped out on drafts
If Essendon hadn't been such a shambles at development and continuity the players performance would look better too

 

[ScottBo]

My absolute durr-brain interpreted that to mean the Swans' defence was that they felt entitled to tackle Walsh dangerously because he was having a big game.

I was thinking good luck holding that up in court!

You are one step ahead of the rest of us.

Not sure it was a great move by the Swans counsel to tell the Tribunal it had overstepped the mark. Automatic 50.

 

[Jewelsbon]

Bloody weak arse. Well it was worth a go, let's hope Rampe's back so we have a captain!
They better not let Cerra off

 

[caesar88]

Have said it ad nauseam now.

What's the point in suspending players for accidents.

If the AFL thinks that rubbing blokes out for "dangerous tackles" is going to stop the "dangerous tackles" then they're delusional. All it will do is cost players games and they'll come right back in and do the same things.

They were arguing that the tackle couldn't have been dangerous since Walsh had a big quarter after the supposed dangerous tackle.


Still idiotic reasoning, The tribunal wants to prevent injuries, so they penalize the action, not the outcome.

Even if that were true, what is suspending the player going to do?

They're making unreasonable demands of players in expecting them to do things differently in split-second situations.

So it won't actually prevent any injuries, all it does is force players to miss weeks.

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

Where is the suspension for the dangerous tackle on rowbottom??

 

[MR0808]

And watch Cerra get off

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We were dreaming challenging that. 2 motions you are gone it’s fairly simple nowadays, you pin the arms you have to drop and ensure no head contact.

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

Should have called out it wasn’t deemed serious enough to warrant a free kick, can’t believe that wasn’t raised in Parker’s defence

 

[Jeffers]

Was supposed to be his 100th game in a row as well..

 

[Jewelsbon]

Should have called out it wasn’t deemed serious enough to warrant a free kick, can’t believe that wasn’t raised in Parker’s defence

It did get a free, Cerra's didn't.

 

[Millky95]

You don't know who Devon Smith is?

Not a clue

 

[Maddo11]

Can't wait to see a dozen similar tackles not cited during finals

 

[MF]

Can't wait to see a dozen similar tackles not cited during finals

Or when a Brownlow favourite does the same thing.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Should have called out it wasn’t deemed serious enough to warrant a free kick, can’t believe that wasn’t raised in Parker’s defence

Would not have mattered there’s a second motion. You have a second motion the onus is on the tackler to ensure NO head contact occurs

 

[Superstar swan]

Cerra free to play.

Comical by this joke of a league

 

[caesar88]

With Cerra getting off we will appeal now you'd think

 

[MR0808]

Surely we need to appeal based on this?

 

[Superstar swan]

We better appeal

 

[wills2g]

Hahaha you cant make this shit up

Walsh's arms were free, he didnt want to give HTB away. If its on the tackler to make split second decisions to not sling then its also on the person being tackled to make the split second decision to use their arms (if they are free) to soften the drop and just give HTB.

It's all just optics, for use later in future lawsuits

 

[BloodySwan]

Can we hire the Carlton lawyer to represent us?

 

[MR0808]

And watch Cerra get off

I hate being right
