Racist Cameron Ling backs Geelong, calls Thomas bump a Dog Act. Also Joel Selwood's a Piece of Shit.

[SaltPeter]

What happens to Selwood with his tripping attempt, oh and the beautiful jumper punch to Thomas’s head after his bump on younger brother Scott?

 

[the PILL]

You seem rustled about a game that had nothing to do with your club, why's that?


Oh wait, I remember.

Puffers and Laide fans are actually like sectret gay lovers in denial... It's all a big decoy the bickering to throw you off but secretly they are defending their State/Gayme pride...

Since the notion of professionalism doesn't exist in the AFL media, Cameron Ling's done what Cameron Ling does best: Rushed to the aid of his beloved Cats & had a massive sook in the finest Geelong tradition.

Would he have scurried to label Thomas's bump on carrion-feeder Scott Selwood a Dog Act if a player from a different club was the victim? Probably not, but then we're all used to AFL commentators exploiting their powerful positions to launch witch-hunts against former opponents they hold grudges against.

Just quietly I thought Thomas' bump was brilliantly executed, and 10 or 15 years ago would've been rightfully lauded as the fantastic bit of play it was.
Sadly I am loathe to award it 10/10 as he knocked out the wrong Selwood.

So do you agree with Ling's assessment or is he full of shit as usual?

Wholly f***k. You do realise ling has been disowned by most cats supporters cos he su**** hawthorn players off when he commentated for 7 on an almost minute by minute basis. Ling is no longer geelong. He is hawthorn.

I actually think it was a perfectly good hit. He absolutely obliterated him, and it was shoulder to shoulder contact.

Someone else got off earlier this year for incidental head contact after initial good contact.

But LT won't, because LT is a dog.

Is selwoods brain in his shoulder? Do you know what concussion is?

Yes cos when a player is concussed from a deliberate snipe and will miss multiple games its the incidents with feather touch impact that doesnt impact players at all that matter. am i right?

 

[Seeds]

Hmm...

How can i get over my teams loss to Norf?

I know, Ill make another Geelong related thread!

See a pyschologist. Or go to thailand and find a ladyboy and pretend its not gay. In your case both will probably help.

Thomas was reported on the spot and I expect will miss games.

The other incidents need to be looked at separately for what they were in isolation.

Hmm so executing a clean bump that happens to injure someone is worse than deliberately punching someone in the head, the media have trained you well.

[Bleeeeeeeeep]

Thomas is a dog of the highest order, no doubt.

One on the left or the one in the middle?

Do you even need to ask mate? Joel Selwood is a protected species - he can get away with anything he likes, even eye-gouging.

How many weeks for Clangerfields slamming the head into the turf ?

None, he is a clean player. A few Hawfies under the microscope though unfortunately. How about Al Clarko blaming congestion for his players' illegal actions? Congestion caused Mitchell to elbow Goldstein 100metres off the ball.

What happens to Selwood with his tripping attempt

An attempt, nasty.

Fyfe got a Brownlow for a full on trip so you never know.

Free kick given, maybe just play on. Game reviews supposed to be operating under a modified system this year though, so the question needs to be asked. Probably sfa, the jumper punch is a little concerning though

Dermie was doing his absolute best cheerleading after the match to try and talk down the dog act committed by the coward Lindsay Thomas, thankfully the rest of the panel had sense and called out his bullshit.

Can anyone make a clip of Dermie also saying the Hawks win and win easily on Sunday?

Clean bump in the head whilst one player tries to pick up the ball. that has never been anything but a snipe of the highest order. Dog act and any supporter who thinks not has questionable morals.

Wasn’t in the head for starters, and you’re allowed to bump someone who is going for the ball. Wipe the sand from your vag please.

Funny as this thread is, you need to re-evaluate your opinion here.

I don't care if he gets off or gets weeks, but while an arm may have been between the colliding bodies, it certainly doesn't cushion a couple hundred kilos of opposing force. Have a think about the physics here.

Don't be one of those AFL facebook nuffies and stick to your guns about how this was a fair hit - it really makes you look thick.

 

[firefighter]

Small fine maybe, and another fine for the dog Thomas for punching Joel to the throat.

Be surprised if anything more than a reprimand for the trip. A fine for the jumper punch unless the footage shows conclusively contact to the head.

Seriously, I never really know though.

Powder Puffs need to stop trying to act tough, they always come off 2nd best. I remembers Dangers first game back in SA they tried taking him out in the first quarter and there was a bit of a melee after that then not a whimper from them all game. Trying to make up for that embarrassing GF is just making them look worse with only the one win against Geelong since.

Thought I'd seen the last of Dog Thomas until I saw him pop up in this game. It would be interesting to know what Puff fans were saying about him before he joined their club. I guess it would be the same as the whorkes if this incident had happened to any other player than a Geelong player.

Pretty clearly to the head there. Sorry to kill your narrative

I care if he gets off or gets weeks. If he has done nothing wrong, and public opinion hangs him, I care. Looked a good hit to me. Can't say I like him as a player, and it was brutal, but looked good.

The physics shouldn't be involved, it should rely on contact points. You're saying someone has to stop. You can't have that.

If you're bringing physics into it, you're intimating that there is a certain level of force where the player can't go past it.

I also care if he gets off and he has actually hit him in the head. If forceful head contact, he has to go. I'm not saying he has to get off. I'm saying I've yet to see a view with his head getting smashed.

Did I like the look of LT ignoring the ball? No, I hated it. I have absolutely no issue with him being suspended if warranted. His form is atrocious, and he knew the risks he was taking by his actions. But if it was executed perfectly, you have to allow it.

If you can't understand my POV, it doesn't make me look thick.

Seconds before the hit, Selwood dropped to his knees to avoid a tackle. If he hadn't done that Thomas would never have bumped him high.

I call that sweet, sweet karma for a career of shameless ducking. Copped exactly what he deserved.
