Prediction Round 21 Changes vs. Essendon

[Purple Suit]

I am the first to argue that if you throw a fist you wear the responsibility for what happens when it lands.

I think with Fyfe, the argument is twofold and begins with that he doesn't in fact throw a fist. He puts out an arm bar and that f ckwit Culley runs into it. Which is why Fyfey put it up in the first place. A f ckwit was running toward him.

Was Culley injured? Did you have his jaw broken and four teeth knocked out? Was he concussed? Did the chemical straightener get jolted out of his scarecrow hair?

I don't think Fyfe should suffer too much if the sole consequences of his actions were that an idiot got stopped in his tracks.

The footage from both angles is crap. I'm assuming they spoke to the umpire who you would hope saw the whole thing as he paid a free kick. It probably means his word is all they need to suspend him.

I did like the way that Fyfe tried to hold him up afterwards, weekend at burnie style.

 

[Taylor]

Zero expectation of him getting off.

 

[Cobbler]

Man… has anyone looked at the Bombers form line or even their whole season?

We should actually piss this in.

I was worried about this, but this is time to end their season territory.

Rest anyone with a niggle.

The ONLY way we lose is taking it easy like that first derby and Essendon playing out of their skins, like that first derby. If form lines continue, Treacy could do horrible things to that backline with no Ridley...

 

[Joao]

Yep, we have to prepare to wear their best punch in the first half, but I'll back us to wear them down even if they are up for the fight for 4 quarters.

Another good test for our "maturity".

 

[Quay Club]

Zero expectation of him getting off.

Probably but there has been some strange tribunal decisions of late.

It is back to Chook Lotto.

 

[noise36]

Bombers getting bashed up in the media all week, this becomes a bigger and bigger danger game. All it takes is us to be off a few percent and they come out firing.

MJ in is great, his form prior to injury was getting really good.

 

[Randomizor]

Looks like Fyfe is going for the “nuh-uh” defence

 

[Docker82]

I hope we rip Bombers apart by 10 goals and then we wear our heritage guernsey for the rest of the season to remind them how close to history we are

Everyone should wear their heritage kits against them next year to make them feel like it's only been a year or two since they last won a final.

The forwards should wear Tabs masks.

Fyfe's lawyer managed to pad it out to 11 facts in Fyfe's favour without mentioning Culley's hair. Probably a sound strategy to not highlight any kettle/black comparison.

Not once did he mention what traffic lane the players were in. Incompetent.

 

[FreoGirl]

Here are the 11 factual fact matters of fact:

1 - Fyfe moving away from Culley

2 - Culley running towards five

3 - Culley lifting arms to push Fyfe

4 - Fyfe responds by extending both arms

5 - Both players of a similar height

6 - Fyfe’s arms never get above his chest height

7 - Fyfe’s right hand initially makes contact with Culley’s left arm

8 - Culley’s height reduced by his own momentum

9 - Some contact but we don’t know where and with what

10 - Fyfe’s open hand moves across Culley’s right shoulder

11 - At no stage does Fyfe’s arm get above his own chest height

Uwland got off, so fingers crossed for Fyfe

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Taking ages. Some of us have things to do. Not me, but some of us.

I know right!

 

[Randomizor]

I hate the pantomime of the tribunal “deliberating”. They made up their mind ages ago, just get on with it.

 

[FreoGirl]

is David Zita AI?

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Damn. Failed lol

 

[sumavich]

Johnno in for Fyfe

 

[FreoGirl]

Fyfe and Heeney were robbed!!

 

[PurpleEyes]

Not surprised.
The AFL will be doing what they can to make our chances of finishing Top4 more difficult than it should be ... especially with the current climate looking like it could be dominated by the interstate teams.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Will be interesting to see who comes in?

Erasmus, Brodie or Johnson.

If not Erasmus or Johnson then hard to see them playing
