I wouldn't be against it if he can work on his head coaching short falls

Seems to have not barracked much this year and has eased up on the lollies or is it he doesn't have a camera front and square all the time this year...

Holy shit, there's a Citroen C4 console lid on Richo's head.

How impressive a bloke is A. Goodes?

I refer to him as Sir Adam Goodes

Interesting game at ANZ Stadium tonight.
Hawthorn looking like a team who has an eye on next weekend.
Swans by 18 point at 1/4 time.

 

[AceAndy]

Franklin reported , did not look good in replay (although never do). Swans look focused.

 

[BluStreak]

Lance will have nothing to worry about Ace as he plays for Hawthorn. MRP will not refer him to the tribunal.

Exactly right BluStreak forgot Hawks are a protected species , and the support he will get from the Ch7 team.

Complaints about MRP bias aside, I'm guessing it didn't look that bad?

Swans by 9 at half-time in a freewheeling 60 minutes of footy.

Bar the Buddy silliness, wouldn't call it the most physical game I've ever seen.

Ed: the Seven boys have sold him down the river, 3 weeks down to 2 says Lethal.

 

[Quazza]

watching two good teams really highlights how poor we are at hitting up players leading towards the ball. They make it look so easy where as its something we really struggle with

7 slutting themselves out to Essendon's pathetic cry of pain. FMD...

Just discussing it now on Ch7 and consensus is 3 down to 2 the likely result.

Poor bombers have been so brave all year ... give me a break.

Interesting... if Roughie is the main defensive focus up forward then they might start struggling.

Head contact is obv bad, but he didn't leave the ground - it was just a size issue...? 3 to 2 seems harsh.

 

[thylacine60]

Both feet looked off the ground to me - not like he jumped but.

He's got a history of making head high contact, Cousins, Mattner.

Tells ya', when he hits them, they stay hit.

Levitation??

 

[Stig O'Hara]

That Swannies jumper never does any justice to Mumford does it??

Either he's having an extra pint with his schnitzel, or he's just not doing the sit-ups required.

Ed: and pie guts obliges with a goal.

 

[Pratt = Premiers]

Hope our boys are watching tonight's game, this is how you play with a bit of heart

It'll all really depend on the medical report, if its anything broken then definitely gone otherwise I'm not to sure. Points grading would probably be something similar to this;

High Contact: 2 points
Reckless Conduct: 2 points
Medium or High Impact: 2-3 points

All up that's 6-7 points which converts to a 3-4 level offence. For a bumping offence thats 400 to 550 demerit points which converts to 4+ matches. That's probably a worst case scenario and thats without any downgradings which will lead to less games. But the AFL will find a way around it because of the fact that its Buddy and its finals time so they could possibly downgrade the reckless to negligent and keeping it at medium contact which leaves him on a 2 match ban without other discounts.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Sweet Lordy, Hawks rattle on 3 in 3 minutes and there's 4 points in it.

Parker sells some sweet, sweet candy...
