That’s why you manage players when you can. They’ve fielded pretty much the same team all year.

Terrible look, kissing the badge, sleep gesture
Just makes him look like a tosser, no class

You give them a wave and kill em with kindness as they say
Like an ex who's moved on to someone better!

Normally a Hawks player does this I would be 100% agreeing.

But against the Pies, I'll allow it. Once

 

[CatToTheFuture]

So, what's stopping Tyson from being our future ruck...

He actually did that really well, in impressed

 

[BIGANT]

We repeat the tripe we served up saturday night v the doggies, the kangas will sting us!

Doubt we see those conditions in tassie.

 

[Hamingja]

Weather forecast is fine and freezing cold.

I definitely wouldn't be resting players unnecessarily against them.

We have no margin for error left this year.

Freo will stomp us over there.

Jeeez Carlton making TDK play with a buggered foot and punctured lung is damning.

You could tell he didn't want to play after the leg injury early on, but then he cops a punctured lung and still doesn't get dragged.

Watching the game you could tell he was in extreme discomfort early on.

If that was Geelong I'd be furious.

Seems nothing been learned from Petracca incident

Yeah that's a good call - you'd think clubs would be a bit more uh, willing.

The punctured lung was later in the game, but the foot injury should have been enough.

That's not to mention their idiocy around McKay who was absolutely off the planet.

I guess they really, really didn't want to lose to North.

 

[MacStradbroke]

Reporting a fractured foot as well. He’s in all sorts.

 

[frggr]

Not sure how they expect him to be right by the end of the home and away.

Fractured feet on a big bloke are a nightmare at the best of times.

Count down to tdk free agency

McKay has been cleared of concussion

McKay has been cleared of concussion

Yes, I know but in the direct aftermath he clearly wasn't right and wasn't taken off for 20~ minutes after the incident.

It's deplorable.

How does Maynard get cleared for his hit on Ginnivan? Not even a fine?

EDIT: He was fined. $3750. Still a grub!

 

[cats_09]

He was fined:

Maynard can accept a $3,750 fine with an early plea for striking Jack Ginnivan during the Magpies' heavy loss to Hawthorn.

Carlton supporter at work is saying the lung thing happened in 2nd qtr?

Carlton supporter at work is saying the lung thing happened in 2nd qtr?

Perhaps it did. There was some footage (picture-in-picture in the bottom right of the screen) where he was pointing at his chest and chatting to the runner - might have been 2nd - he didn't look happy after the foot and looked even less happy after the chest thing.

I was surprised the commentators didn't pick up on it when they showed the footage, given they comment on his every move.

Ah - heard "got off" and figured there was nothing.

Thanks for the clarification. Still reckon that sort of stuff deserves a week (given Heeney) but I suppose being a 'football act' there's wiggle room

 

[winty]

LOL, can you imagine it?
