Lolingwood are making Hawthorn look good.

 

[Hamingja]

I hope that hasn't been seen in Tas.

I can vouch it would be too soon for some families......

I have to say that was my reaction to it as well. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and that he was ignorant of that event.

Edit: talking about the journo

 

[cats_09]

And now out with concussion!!

Again?

Not sure how he could possibly be, or how he could've forgotten.......but, have to give the benefit of the doubt I guess.

True story.......was in the area at the time, my daughter has links to the event, and I had to call the local radio station to ask they pull an ad promoting jumping castles for kids.....like, what the???

from the Fourth Quarter of Friday night’s match between Essendon and Adelaide was assessed. Caldwell gathers a loose ball following a boundary throw in and is tackled by Keays with his right arm. Caldwell is able to get his left arm down to protect his fall and reduce the force of any impact. It is the view of the MRO that Keays exercised his duty of care in executing the tackle. Accordingly, in the view of the MRO, Keay’s actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.

from the Third Quarter of Friday night’s match between Essendon and Adelaide was assessed. The ball is loose in play and Dawson is pushed forward and downwards into the path of Caddy as he attempts to kick the ball off the ground. High contact is made by Caddy on Dawson. It was the view of the MRO that it was reasonable for Caddy to contest the ball in the way that he did and in the circumstances which included Dawson being pushed forward and downwards into his path. No further action was taken

and Sam Berry from the Third Quarter of Friday night’s match between Essendon and Adelaide was assessed. Berry takes possession of the ball before Guelfi lays a tackle, rolling Berry to ground. It was the view of the MRO that Guelfi did not sling, drive or rotate Berry to ground with excessive force. The MRO did not consider that Guelfi’s actions were unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.

All good.

I was referring to the original statement by Sam, not your post.

I understand that - I'm happy to play it safe

Again?

Yep head clash

Lolingwood are making Hawthorn look good.

To be fair Hawthorn have been excellent

 

[Generalissimo]

True. But 1.11 inflates the margin. Imagine if Lolingwood were 6.6 instead.

[winty]

Did Collingwood go to the MCG with one goal in mind?

 

[catsfootyfan89]

This game has 'mission accomplished' vibes for Collingwood. They are dreadful.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Gunna say it, Pies coaching this season has been absolutely woeful.

 

[Baudolino]

Are any of the Collingwood older brigade likely to retire at the end of the year? Latest I heard was that Pendles, Hoskin-Elliott and Howe were all in line for contract extensions. Not sure on the others.

 

[The_Koulouriotis_Fan]

They’ve been ordinary all year, having on by sheer nerve. It’s gone now, last week broke them. I wonder how David King is going to spin this

Surely Mitchell and Cox retire

 

[cats_09]

Ouch - makes the loss even worse

Sidebottom?

Cox doesn't seem the type to be humble or self-aware enough to realise his time is up.

 

[catsfootyfan89]

How's everyone feel about the overly performative goal celebrations we see these days...? I can't get into it myself.

Me either.

Just not an Aussie thing.....but the younger people seem to love copying others.

 

[frggr]

Geeez we're going to have some good contests with the Hawks in the next few years.


Collingwood are absolute shit.

 

[James1970]

The joy of seeing the Pies season over is tempered by the little bit of sick in the mouth knowing the Dawks will most likely be playing finals.
