Why wouldn't they have played Edwards on him in the first half also ?

He was too busy trying to get a kick on Hodskiss, fullback. Bu the way, the 2 kicks were goals!
I Was At That Game And I Can Tell You He Kicked 1 Point On Edwards In A Half From A Soft Free Kick!
Powerhouse Over Willy By 4 Goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$100 down the drain Johnny? Nice bet.
The only way the house could beat willy is by taking out two of their best players. 1. By a sniper hit behind play by breaking his jaw, and 2. By riding a player into the ground and dislocating his shoulder. Willy were very undermaned, if they were to play house in finals willy would surely come out on top! And for the bloke that broke cocksy's jaw i hope they press charges against you cos you are a snipering dog!!!!!

As someone who was at this game, I would have thought it had more to do with 6 goal to 1 first quarter. While I didn't see the incident you refer to I am sure it was posted on this site that the Powerhouse lost the best player in the comp in Edwards during the week, sounds like you are sore loser to me....
I also went down to watch some of the Powerhouse/Willi game as i was in the area. Got to the ground at quarter time and was surprised with the scoreline. Williamstown started to play some better football and were right back in the game. What followed were two of the most embarrasing moments i have seen in Ammmo Football.
1/ After #16 for house was beaten in a 2 in 1 contest and the ball had moved on he attacked #1 from Williamstown from behind and forced him awkwardly to the ground hurting his shoulder, he then continued to attack the injured choking him with a forearm to the throat.
The second incident by the same player (#16) was about one minute later on the other player that was involved in beating him in the earlier contest. The ball ran out of play, everyone had clearly stopped and he took him out with forearm/elbow to the head/jaw.
Both incidents were out of the play and intended to harm. These were not the actions of a footballer but of a violent and unstable man. How powerhouse let someone like him play in their football side is disgraceful.
From what i saw i hope that he is kicked out of the league. Ammo football has risks but at the end of the day what happens to the league as a whole when, due to "non-football" incidents people are forced to miss work and miss football.

Unbelievable. Willy has wrecked the season now.
Who is number #16 for the house?
And how did Willy's reserves also loose. Did you guys rest your senior team?
Your undoubtedly from Willy as I also watched the game as the Hoes had a easy one, the first incident you quoted was a simple tackle and fall to the ground, the second I didn't get a clear view of, although I did witness supporters jumping the fence and players from the willy bench, getting in involved in the ensueing fracas. You would not think this is good for their image, they abused the umpires all day ( including their very vocal coach) so much for umpires day. But wrapping up the day I would say that Powerhouses' relentless pressure wore down Willy, massive win without the God of the House Eddo, also heard one of the house boys stating that still four quality players to return to the line up. Willy appeared to not enjoy the pressure which I am told was set by example of the reserves in the earlier game. Houses' onballers smashed them all day and worked hard out of the square, back line were ferocious, wouldn't give grandma a cent for xmas, and the strange thing is they have other goal kickers apart from Eddo, some similarities to the Hoes I would think.
Hoedown, nice to hear some perspective from an impartial view. And for those of you who don't think he's impartial, check out his other posts - clearly associated with Ivanhoe (and has paid out on House performances in the past). I think you summed it up well.
The words 'sore losers' do spring to mind and this, I'm sure, helps provide extra motivation leading up to the finals. House had their injuries and the send off to cope with as well. It was a good, tough and high quality game and the best side on the day won it. Full stop.
I'm guessing #16 for powerhouse would still be alan foster unless there was a jumper change, probably has a target on his head for the finals.
similar targets on a couple of eltham players with love from hawthorn after this weekend, a great win over the turtles, its a shame #17 wenbourne couldn't get back on the ground to get what he deserved after a couple of cheap hits in tackles and bomber is as dirty as they come.
The top 4 look pretty well set, should be a good match this week with the mighty hawks taking on the powerful house, could be a good gauge to see where the house are really at.

if you want a impartial view on the game, read a post from before. If not, here it is:

The other guy didnt even see the incident. CY's wont use it as an excuse, but king hits like that are unacceptable in any type of sport.
What makes matters worse (and typical of Powerhouse) is the coach telling the players "If you put anyone in hospital, you win a slab". That is absolutely pathetic and the committee within Powerhouse should not allow that type of behaviour from their coach.
We can not wait to play them in the finals, and if there was one team we want to play against, it is Powerhouse.

OK Sand Shoes. Now you are making stuff up.
I am both a senior player who played on Saturday and committee member. Don't go making false accusations about what our coach does and says. There is no way that Power House go out to deliberately injure the opposition. I was at every address. There is no way way that the line "If you put anyone in hospital, you win a slab" was stated or even implied. All our coach was concerned about was winning the footy and playing to our own fair game plan - as he does every week.
Power House have a reputation for playing hard but fair. We have always been a welcoming club who plays by the rules. There has been an incident (which I did not see) but let the tribunal make the decisions. Don't try bringing Power House' name through the mud due to the perceived actions of one individual (guilty or not guilty).
Keep the made up slander to yourself, and lets not forget your club's actions following the incident. Maybe a statement admitting that the better side won on the day, that it was a great game of footy, etc might give you back some credibility.

I can only assume that he is one of the many Willi blokes to not get near the ball on Saturday. Perhaps if he spent some time visualising himself near it he might get one, rather than using his imagination to come up with the fanciful crap he just posted.

Mate, im not one to make things up. That was told to us via one of your players....
If a team mate of anyone breaks a jaw via a late and intentional flying elbow, they are going to remonstrate. It shows that we are a passionate club and protect and stand up for each other.
I am the first to admit that the better team on the day won. We are terribly disappointed in our performance and in no way are we blaming what happened on the loss. Id say our top 10 players had their worse game of the year and that wont happen again, so we are glad its out of our system before we head into the finals series. Id say St. Johns next week will feel the full force of the CY's as we ramp it up

I'm a house player who played in the Senior game on the weekend.
No one likes to see someone get injured, in any way.
I'm backing vegemite 100% and can say honestly that at no stage did the coach say anthing even resembling the crap that Sand Shoes made up.
I was at the other end of the ground when the 'incident' took place and I can honestly say I didn't see it. Let the tribunal sort it out and don't drag the name of the Powerhouse club and all of it's players through the mud.
The rest of the game was played in a fair and good standard by both clubs. So don't start rubbish rumours to fuel an already sensitive situation.

OK Sandy, that's a bit better. If one of our players said that, he was just trying to get under someone's skin. The coach would not have said that and the player would not have played like that.

Interesting that none of the powerhouse players saw the incident where the Cys player was hurt. Sun glair??
Sandy got to be careful mate....Would want some proof before making a claim like that bud.

Thanks for the wrap Vege, I think that some times people make unjustified comments in the still simmering heat of the argument and I agree with what appears to be the regulators comment. King Hits were always described as a fist from behind to the head with no visible expectation of being hit. I believe there was only one incident on Saturday that may warrant a look and that was the second incident, but at best and by all accounts it may have been a shirt front or side on with a possible raised arm, which certainly does not lay claim to a king hit. Sour grapes, who knows, but if the umpires ran true to form, a number of Willy players should have been sent off for disputing decisions and swearing, so fellas get over it , you were beaten.
hey lads, sounded like an interesting game to be at between the house and cy's. maybe be interesting again come finals time.
i see the wicks had 100pt win as expected against latrobe. anyword on how many smith kicked or how grace went???
