Do we know when the fixture will be released for Adelaide and Geelong games. Keen to maybe go to one of them but hard to book anything in. Geelong game might be an issue with tickets though considering half the ground is missing.

Took an arm and made him earn it. Play on I reckonHTB back in my day, coach gives you a high five for it
Chandler decision was garbage. I'm sure Goody wouldn't tell him to do any different next time he's on the field.
Trenners loved a good sling tackle back in the day:
EDIT: He slings Danger, then tries to sling the next bloke in a tackle too. Early Trenners was a machine

What year was this? I remember the suspension didn't go down well at the time. Think he got three weeks maybe?

perfect tackle and play on, what a time to be alive
2011 - got three weeks and commentators were up in arms - "ENOUGH is enough. The AFL is right on the brink of over-sanitising our great game. Just when most players are clear on the bump and its consequences, now there will be mass confusion about tackling."
Now we're in a place where there isn't a clear second action to sling, someone can hit their head and the guy tackling gets 2 weeks off even though he was the smaller guy in the scenario and even tried to roll him. Bizarre. Feel for Chandler, as he hasn't been able to have a clear run at AFL footy and now this.

Viney, what a machine, take them both out, get up and fend off a tackle to get away a handball, beast

IIRC they tried rubbing Viney out for that (2 or 3 weeks) and got off on appeal?
Nice snipe. It’s fine to disagree. I get all him momentum is going forward so it has to be perfect or not KO Foley. Looks to me like he drives him down with the left shoulder movement as well though.

Viney protects himself and probably gets a month for that now.

He's trying to turn him so he doesn't push him in the back. It's not a snipe the way you're talking about it sounds like a journo looking at it completely without any idea of what actually happens in a tackle.

Yeah he got 2 or 3 and we took it to appeal and got him off after a huge public outcry defending him. I bloody rang Sen or one of the stations and said I didn't even wanna see a Melbourne flag if it was won in a game ya couldn't defend ya self in.

To me it looked as chandler tried to avoid landing on his back as much as he could. He did hit him quickly, so I feel it was all momentum but unfortunately the head hit the turf with the momentum.

The assist from Alex Georgiou!
Hard to say which was his best moment as a player, that or the haymaker to Buddy.
This bloke shouldn't be in anyones worst 22's just for this.

Had forgotten about that. We are behind the play thugs vs the Swans aren't we? Bugg on Mills

It wasn't just the Swans back then. Roos knew no one respected us and just got us to be physical if other teams were on top. Vince v Dangerfield in 2015 another example

Coming to us was great for Bernie’s career tbh. He was fizzling out at adelaide but with Melbourne he had three really good seasons before he started dropping away. Was such a pure footballer to watch too, beautiful kick off both feet and tough.
