Watch the video of the melee and see how fast Dangerfield runs into it and pulls Tuohy away from it.

Yep - apparently we were to big and mean (and paid off the umpires):

IRELAND coach Joe Kernan says Fremantle star Nat Fyfe should have been sent off for a dangerous forearm during Australia’s 53-50 International Rules win in Perth.

Kernan was highly critical of the quality of umpiring on display during the series.

The veteran coach believed his star player Michael Murphy had been unfairly targeted by Australia without receiving any protection from the umpires. And he said Fyfe’s forearm to the chest/neck of Ireland’s Aidan O’Shea should have been black-carded on Saturday night.

“It was a dangerous tackle — a forearm charge,” an angry Kernan said.

“I don’t know what the ruling for it is, but in our country it’s a sending off. “If someone charges and hits you under your chin with a forearm, that’s a dangerous tackle — that’s a sending off. A black card.

In fairness to him most sports throughout the world you're allowed to criticise the umpires.
Probably not aware of how serious we take any sort of questioning of any decisions.

Yeah but to question a decision that lead to a free kick from a dive

I’m not sure what he’s on about tbh

 

[ATSAM]

Good to see a club recognize player needs and put them before their own need to win. Unlike Gold Coast Suns.

 

[Strange Cat]

MR Bods see this is what a real club does for their players not like the fake plastic heartless club that you follow does.

Yep, we could do with a KPF.

Still a better option than Stanley

 

[Pure_Ownage]

So can we get david Johnson's recruiting drive going again?

Was a better KPF than Vardy Walker Brown Kersten Stanley Clark and any other average KPF that has come since him (Clark was the only one remotely in the same ballpark on talent but he had too many issues). Sometimes you don't know what you've got til it's gone

Well PO.....you are about to experience this, because tomorrow, I am off to Thailand from a coolish Geneva, to lie in the sun, and gorge myself with Thai food and Bourbons.

I just know you'll miss me!

 

[cats_09]

This might be a stupid question - but why was Pods their defensive coach?

Wouldn't it have made more sense for him to be a forward coach or were they hoping that he would teach the defenders about how forwards would play and hence how to play on forwards?

It seems a very Geelong thing to do - I'm guessing next year we will see Scarlett as our new forwards coach using this thinking

Pods was too smart to want to coach Tex.

 

[BotsMaster]

Pods was too smart to want to coach Tex.

It would suck having to dumb down your training just for one player

 

[Spazz Cat]

Pods was too smart to want to coach Tex.

I could imagine that would get frustrating.

 

[And_ROOS]

They have three plays for their forward line anyway, its either over the top to Jenkins, into the pocket for Eddie, or hope Tex can hold it at CHF.

What if they don't work? Well, 2017 GF happens.

Sometimes McGovern gets involved.

And sometimes I write stuff on here, doesn't mean I get a mention for poster of the year

I've always want wanted one of these forward line thingys over at Fremantle.

 

[Vdubs]

Freo have done really well, imo, selecting Adam Cerra and Tommy North. That friendship may help prevent the go-home factor that hurts interstate teams.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

More Hawfie depth gone from Box Hill Nakia first Vickery now their only decent player Mirra
