Hard to hear exactly what was said but it appear ****ter may have been said.
And shortly after Sicily came over to Jones to tell him not to use such language because it's not nice
Seriously though, not playing the victim mentality, but if this is true and it came from Hawthorn or any other club it'd be world news.
On Sicily, I love that whenever there is some sort of niggle or push and shove, he'll be somewhere in there. Reminds me of Dermie in that regard.
Not a word mentioned on Game DayAgree about not being precious, but would love to see the hypocrisy exposed
Quickly skipped over. Now watching SFS. See what Barrett had to say. Normally that little scumbag makes news out of nothing. As on GD it'll be skipped over quickly as well.Not a word mentioned on Game Day
The AFL is all about TV ratings in Sydney
Hodgey was in the stands serving his clubs suspension in Rd 1 Rusty. Point taken though...If we cast our minds all the way back to round 1 v the Scum. When Hodge went down early in the game, Clarko was mighty peed off no one flew the flag to call out the gutless Essendon hack. Last night we saw 5-6 Hawks including big Brandy coming straight in and giving Franko a what for with a bit cheese on top. Great to see.
He was in the middle of another Hawthorn loss seizure.May have already been mentioned, but where was Horse at the post match presentations?

I know the Sic / Dermie comparisons are obvious, but for a moment, maybe in the 2nd qtr, when he rose to take a mark in front of 2 Swans ... my immediate thought was, is that the sort of thing Peter Knights used to do regularly? Maybe I wasn't paying attention enough and in replaying it my mind it was Knights like. It certainly is a glorious sight.

That needs a thread in itself
Yeh McVeigh has embarrassed himself and the team ....very precious and very brittle.Yeah, nah. Footy isnt footy any more. Footy used to sort out what gets descried as niggle. The soft **** practitioners that do it get lauded as tough guys. Nothing tough about it, and a clever counter from Langers in doing what he did. Hell of a taunt. Funny, lighthearted, and as weve seen - very effective. Onya Langers, I applaud you for the act and not getting sucked into the fake niggling shit.
I find it disrespectful of anyone who played the game in a previous era, who would not have tolerated the pansy antics of that Zack no caJones, or pissants like Ballantyne for a moment. They've managed to hide behind the skirt of the image conscious AFL, the umpires and outraged footy mums. All consequences for said tough guy acts have been removed from the game, the natural balance of physical retaliation, the bump or tackle have almost been removed from the game, and the legitimate shrug off elbow, or clip from the fist will see you removed from the game in short order.
On the subject of kissing on a footy field, I have seen little pecks at top level rugby league at least. Happened years ago and wasnt surprised then, so I always thought a legitimate response or taunt. Absolutely nothing in it.
As a extremely lippy and antagonising junior player, sometimes called on to play more senior grade, I was given the advice - if you start a fight, dont try and box on, grab em in a bear hug and plant a kiss on em. Their response will be to fight to get away from you! Complete self preservation on their part. Or it'll crack others up and they will laugh.
Started some fights, never had to go the smooch, but it is sound advice Ive repeated and had coaches agree with.
Old man Mc has made fool of himself. The way he's carried on, people will be blowing him kisses in the street for the rest of his days.
Tube.
And I doubt McVeigh would have sooked if Swans had won neither.Yes, but the kissing thing is the reason the Swans lost.
So it needs to be publicised.
This has probably already been said, but it speaks volumes about the two teams culture when you see an ex-Hawthorn player (Buddy) side-by-side with Clarko for most of the post-game presentation, compared to Longmire barely acknowledging Mitchell.
