Along with R. Lee Ermey, Barassi is a guy I would have paid big money to have get in my face and yell and scream at me

 

[Portology]

Hopefully he did and thought, that’ll do me, I’m ready now.

At least when he decided to kick the bucket the great old champion managed to hit the target.

Melbourne players be kicking themselves since last night's debacle but still missing.

 

[chiwigi]

I’m reading he had a fall at some time and never recovered.

I prefer my ending.

 

[sobrave]

Nobody's calling for us to have copped a weaker punishment, but Carlton need to cop one as well. That was a disgrace.

Blues give key defender all clear after concussion concerns

Where is the head knock?

People are going on about this because the commentators mentioned it. It's not clear in the footage there's any kind of concussive head knock.

I'm looking for a stagger but all I see is a guy stepping backwards for the throw up while struggling to recover.

In 1975 he coached North to there first GF win, I was lucky to be there that day in my early teens.
Was very successful as a player and coach definitely one of the all time greats.

Coached North Melbourne to 5 Grand Finals in a row in the 70’s

Could be worse, neighbour of my mum's was found today having carked it a few days ago.. with dogs in the house..

Check in on ya oldies folks if they live alone..

Both pretty much what you see is what you get.
Doesn’t really gel with todays politically correct society unfortunately.

Indeed. He was one of the last few truly great Australian old-school men, back when men were really men

The footage from the full match replay is more easily paused at the target nanosecond.

Lol that tells absolutely nothing

Yea because its wrong. All you have to do is look at his head move to see when he was hit. 0.5 speed helps

 

[Portology]

upper arm lower jaw, then Weitering staggers about for a bit, are we even watching the same pic/vid?

it's not a concussion diagnosis of course and he seems to recover but it doesn't support the "it was in the neck" hypothesis/excuse for not calling him off

That AFL link has a proper replay at the end. 57 seconds in

Thanks. Fourth or fifth time attempt I can see the hit. The snippet at that link loves going back to a blank screen any time you pause and stare for more than an instant.

Haha - the start of the GWS v Richmond AFLW game was held up for a while because of a snake. I thought that sort of thing only happened on the sub continent. The ladies might still not be fully focused just yet - 0.0 to 0.2 at quarter time.

Most AFLW players don't really care for snakes

Lol GWS get a 6 day break... WHY exactly?

What possible logic is there for only giving them a 6 day break where Carlton gets 8?

Its even worse than that for GWS - they cannot fly back tonight because of the Sydney Airport curfew. Meaning they only get 5 nights at home before having to fly into Melbourne for the prelim.

The reasoning as per my post a few days ago:

The AFL would be orgasmic at the thought of a Collingwood v Carlton granny but I doubt they will get it even after giving the blue baggers a better deal than GWS re the length of the break, but I reckon the baggers may have played their gf friday night and the lions could thump them at the Gabba.

GWS would be some chance against the wobblers but I suspect the occasion and 90k baying oppo supporters may get to them and it will be collingwood v brisvegas in the big one, and if so the lions should be in it right up to their ears.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Prelim times locked in:
Friday: Collingwood vs GWS, 7:50pm @ MCG
Saturday: Brisbane Lions vs Carlton, 5:15pm @ Gabba

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Just heard a Sydney newsreader announce the passing of Ron Bararsey. Oh well, he tried.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

St Kilda Football Club is deeply saddened by the passing of Kevin “Cowboy” Neale. The 1966 premiership hero died overnight at the age of 78.
Cowboy was truly a beloved figure at the Saints, not only among his teammates and fans, but by those who worked alongside him at the club long after his playing days.

 

[Poo Eckert]

Personally I think GWS can push the Pies. I doubt they will get stage fright when they have a hard ass captain in Green in charge.

Brisbane GWS would be gold.

You’re talking about trouser snakes

The outcry would be funny if the crers reserves win today and make their first $NAFL GF.
