The instant defence from BT: “looked like more a brushing motion”

The halftime defence from Jon Ralph: “looks bad in slow-mo but okay in real time”

The halftime defence from Garry Lyon: “looks like he expected shoulder to shoulder contact but Moore went to ground”

Not one utterance of “if you choose to bump and get them in the head”.

Fantastic, real time, double-standard horsesh¡ttery.

As predictable as sunrise.

“The ball was in play!”

Perfect Defense, $32 fine.

 

[Steve Dore]

Should be 5 weeks or more. AFL set a further precedent this week.

Except there is no concept of precedent in the AFL. They just make it up as they go to suit their current agenda.

Looking forward to the endless discussions about a send off rule during the week .

 

[Doctor Feel]

This comp is so ****ed

 

[240volt]

Pickett benefit of the doubt

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

You can see Pickett is preparing to bump from meters out. Chose to bump and got him high. Doesn’t matter what Moore did, it’s Picketts responsibility once he chose to bump.

 

[JimmyBC]

Just call it game over lol no one cares

He lined him up, at no time was he looking at the ball.
He’s only intention was to hit him.

 

[Mayes2Gray]

The AFL media is an absolute joke. All the excuses to get Pickett off are coming out now.

 

[Fizzler]

****ing hell the mental gymnastics I’m seeing here are crazy, where was this last week????

 

[JimmyBC]

Lets not go too hard on Kozzie he might end up here.

You just know the media is manifesting a Pickett/Houston straight swap, we’re ****ed regardless

The Zapruder-film roundtable on Fox Footy during the lightning break actually made some solid points both ways.

But yes, would love to know where all this for-and-against debate and insight regarding split seconds and how both players contributed to it was last week, when Gerard Healy spent the better part of an hour booking Dan Houston a first class ticket to The Hague.

I'll take Pickett and some shuffling in a heartbeat.

 

[elsler]

imagine how many games Pickett would get if he played for us he'd never be on the park

Yes so true. But want a horribly corrupt organisation is the AFL.

I thought BT was going to cry when Hodge called Collingwood's season a fail.

Whately was just about suggesting it would be better for all concerned if he did the honourable thing and took a cyanide tablet.

Rankine was convulsing on the ground!

How’s the C- for Melbourne.
From top 4 to 12th possibly 14th.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Why don't we finish this game off ... said no one ever.

It's unbelievable. Probably give us a B-.

 

[JimmyBC]

41 points down and some Melbourne players are smiling? jeezus it really is just about coin & it's nearly Bali time for some.
