Ha!
Would be incredibly suprised if he goes up for that....
Quite ironic considering the man who coaches your unit fits the description of your opinion on Ryan Houlihan.

How is a fair hip and shoulder a dog act?

Didn't watch the game obviously...
Given Beau Waters only got 3 for putting a guy in hospital, I think Houlihan can look at a worst case scenario of a reprimand, but more than likely having no case to answer. Certainly it was no worse than Ablett's hit on Wirrpanda last week.Niall said:An absolute dog act on a great young player in his first season of AFL. I hope Houlihan gets 6 weeks and has his jaw broken by a West Coast supporter when he goes back to Victoria
Niall said:
Elbow was raised after he made contact. Open the other eye...
Yep, I agree. That Houlihan is a real thug...... 
In all seriousness, if the AFL are serious about keeping their integrity in being a contact sport, he won't even get reported. In my opinion it was a fair bump. The umpire was in the correct position to see it and didn't even pay a free!
BTW, considering you guys are quick to defend, or even brag, about a certain eagle (Beau Waters) who takes a player out once every two weeks, I find this thread pretty funny.

Your bitterness is just hilarious. It was a fair hip and shoulder. It was actually great to see Ryan show a little aggression, which is not his trademark. This Weagles guy will definitely go down as the first and probably last player to be knocked out by Ryan Houilihan.

I have never bragged about Waters thanks.

You talking about being bitter?
We won the game, i'm not bitter. If you want to see bitter, go look in the mirror

I saw it, and the replay soon after. It was as contentious as Fevs goal on the half-time siren.
But gee you poseurs must be soft with a bump like that. Sheesh, you girls can't play wet-weather footy. Lets just hope this crappy east-coast weather holds up, coz its conditions like these that made the REAL SOUL of footy. Not the run in the sun joke you lot call footy.

This from a man whose team plays indoors every second week.
We've played in two games of wet weather footy (that I can remember) over the past three years. We're not responsible for the weather, and we don't get exposed to a whole lot of wet weather footy, so if that makes "run in the sun" footy a joke, well, so be it. That would make your "run under flourescent lights" just as hilarious.
By the way, those two games I mentioned earlier? We won them both.

Houlihan is one of the softest players in the AFL and it would be a hilarious if he was to be rubbed out for rough play.Niall said:An absolute dog act on a great young player in his first season of AFL.

Funniest thing you have ever said parrot.
As for whoever mentioned the Stenglein hit, now that was a dog act. Haven't seen the Houlihan one so I can't comment, but it is funny he cleaned someone up.

I didn't really think there was much in it. The physical reaction from the guy who copped it seemed out of line with the actual bump. Maybe there's a more conclusive angle, or maybe the guy was playing it up.
