I know that you know that we didnt. We accepted the tribunals decision. We could've appealed, same as Cripps did last year and also Van Rooyen did this year.

You're aware the rules on tribunal appeals have changed since Cripps last year? You need to prove they made a mistake in accordance with the laws.

We did exactly what Carlton did with Cerra and it failed.

Of course not

JvR successfully appealed this year though

Yeah coz they argued that the tribunal got the rules wrong.

There's no such appeal with these "dangerous" tackles.

Jeeeeeeeezus

Absolute gun. If only we had a few more of him.

 

[doug85]

He might be our second player to lose a Brownlow due to suspension

The umps tend to not give votes to ineligible players don’t they?

We’ll then he’s being robbed again

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Could he be in trouble for a tackle in the 4th quarter? Looked like the north bloke hit his head.

 

[jmoo wan]

i hate to be that guy, but does one quarter make a great game?

 

[Unfazed]

Yes

 

[Zach Package]

Pushes up to 4th in the Coaches association, and can probably consider himself a lucky boy.

Firstly to not get cited for another rubbish dangerous tackle (I think they would have announced it by now), secondly that we won the game despite him dealing with the tag really poorly and thirdly for the umpire ignoring what really should have been a 50 metre penalty for punting the ball away after the free kick to Logue on the wing with about 90 seconds left.

He’s playing exceptionally well but he really elevates when he hits the scoreboard.

Would possibly help us if someone actually decided to put some physical pressure on the tagger every now and then. We seem to accept it too easily.

Lends even more credence to Setterfield being the most irreplaceable small

You don't need to be Andre the Giant to give a tagger a cheeky elbow to the kidneys when the umpire is looking elsewhere

**** I love him

I have it on good authority that he does not cook his steak in a microwave

* I love him

Shows a maturity i don't know we've seen before in him. Was taking shiels away from the bounce to allow the rest of the centre bounce squad to have an impact. Agree with others that a big bodied mid like setters would be handy to give him some space with a tight tag, but its nice to see him taking the attitude of sacrificing his game for the betterment of the team

Is that all they have?

Could they not have given us footage of when he kicked his goals or laid a tackle?

On the couch and 360 covered a few of those moments
