Goodes let off

[DarwinRoo]

No, they wouldn't. After Adam Hunter's shameful display of knocking over an injured Michael O'Loughlin in last years first final Paul Roos stated specifically that no member of a Swans team would be allowed to participate in the same kind of behaviour.


Yes, running, sprinting, endurance running and running with an opponent are all integral parts of our game. "Testing" an injury is not.

Oh please. And secretly Roos is saying to Barry Hall that he thinks Shannon Watt has a sore shoulder so when you tackle him really tackle him hard.

I probably didnt word myself correctly. If a player has just come back from a knee or hamstring injury you can garauntee that his opponent will be instructed to make him run.

'Testing' is part of the game. Its a mans game. Cheap shots arent part of the game.

'Testing' is just a cowards word for cheap shot.

Yes, how very perceptive of you. I take it you've gathered this information from watching all the dirty play that the Swans have been involved in in the last 2-3 years.

Kudos on your observance.

No, you worded it fine, it was just a bad example. Running can be expected in a game no matter what. Deliberate targeting of a suspected injury is so far below what Goodes did it isn't funny.

Wow, contradiction in terms much? So cheap shots aren't allowed, but attacking injuries are?

 

[DarwinRoo]

Tackling a player is part of the game. Playing with injuries are part of the game. If you re-injure yourself in a legitimate tackle then thats your problem.

Pfft, after micky eye gouged him in the centre. Another crap tribunal decision...

He wasn't injured either, he was just stretching and hunts gave him a couple of bumps. he didnt knock him over.

Video? i saw what Hunter did with my own eyes, what your saying is pure speculation.

They sure are, pity that everyone's talking about not just tackling, but targeting a possible injury.

Like I said above the people going on about cheap shots yet encouraging the targeting of an injured player are stupid beyond belief. How can you condemn in one breath and condone in the next?

Again, that's true, but not the point at hand.

Let me ask you; in the 2005 GF did you approve of Adam Hunter repeatedly bumping a concussed Michael O'Loughlin causing him to fall repeatedly and possibly doing more damage. Do you justify that by saying bumping is just part of the game?

 

[DarwinRoo]

Why are Sydney supporters starting to sound alot like West Coast supporters.

Ah, so he cleverly damaged his hamstring after the game to add weight to his story?

I tell you, the Swans have thought of everything.

Why are the majority of people attacking the result in this thread unable to comprehend basic logic and straightforward decisions?

Don't bother trying to unravel what you'll never understand.

Did Adam Hunter know he was concussed?

Harden the **** up Swans fans. If you dont want Goodes to be targeted then dont play him.

Because everyone sounds the same when they're defending their club/players. Amusing now that the shoe's on the other foot, eh?

Jesus ****ing Christ, pay attention, no ones complained about him being targeted, it was simply stated that if you're calling for him to be targeted due to his injury then in no way can you complain or criticise his action against Godfrey, they're as bad as each other.

Everythings sounding the same because it's different people putting forward the same argument with an inability to process the answer.

Woohoo! Welcome to the daily life of a WCE supporter. Harden the **** up


I don't mean to sound offensive but this is no different to the crap we've been putting up with for months now. Not that fun, is it? It's like slamming your head against a brick wall most of the time.

 

[Mancey]

He kicked the winning goal a quarter after hunts bumped him, he must have been pretty majorly injured. Didnt bump him hard enough obviously. Its finals footy, harden up princess.

And Deadly accurate, i dont have the video, but anyone with a football memory will remember the incident...

I get your drift but surely you can't compare having to explain how the tribunal works to self professed experts over and over to explaining shit like Kerr assaulting taxi drivers. It's a bit of a step up.

I don't really care about the Cousin's stuff. It's ****ing outrageous that they should be tested in the off season. How pissed would anyone in here be if they were away on holiday and had piss testers show up at their door?

He will be targeted because he is a good player. If Goodes gets taking out off the ball then thats a as bad as a cheap shot but if he cops a hip and shoulder or a hard tackle when the balls in play then thats part of the game. If he re-injures himself well thats just badluck.

Wait...here we go

I'd have bumped the guy for that pansy effort too.

Justice was served 3 weeks later

What's it matter? If your claim is true, Mick was just testing Hunter's eye. Hunter played on in the game so it obviously didn't do anything. Didn't dig deep enough obviously. It's finals footy, harden up, princess.

Good, I'm glad you finally agree with me and agree that it's hypocritical for the morons calling for his blood to be doing so.

I'm not comparing anything mate, merely pointing out what it's like having to defend a player from your club against certain BF posters. FuManchu and Campbell are probably the worst for us. You'd have more like getting blood from a stone than getting them to step down from the soap-box...

I'm not complaining, i'm just moving down micky o a bit from the pedestal you put him up on. There was a reason Hunts gave it to him...

Who cares really.

 

[bzparkes]

Must admit though guys, eye gouging is a fair bit worse than bumping someone to test an injury...

Anyone with a football memory, ahh yes compelling evidence right there. I watched that game, it was a final so i didn't miss a minute of it, and i never saw Micky do that. Funny how it's mostly WC fans that are backing that story up.
