What if?Can you imagine the uproar if the ball had taken a slightly different trajectory and grazed the post and Broomy hadn't tried to connect with it.
Geez, how much of history would be changed if only “what if”?
Disgraceful comment.

Broomhead chose to have a swing at the ball. Even live I wondered why he bothered.
Pfffttt....not sure I’m the only one who wondered at his actions.Side By Side......live in the recliner.
I see now that our oval shape ball has became round by others who knew where it was going. We are getting silly beyond belief. And 50 odd replays.Side By Side......live in the recliner.

In fact, maybe you need to read this thread to see I’m not on an island.
You’re a funny beast CFC.
Side by side, it’s not really a notion you exhibit in the majority of your posts. Yet you want to apply it to others?
As I said, strange beast.
Certainly a 50/50 decision to be made.I see now that our oval shape ball has became round by others who knew where it was going. We are getting silly beyond belief. And 50 odd replays.
At the time in my recliner l thought he was right to have a go at it.
Your take on it live at the ground, is spot on.
I have a lot of time for Broomhead and still think he has more talent than Josh Thomas/Keefe/Oxley who we've carried for years. No reason we can't rookie list him. Would be a better bet than another Josh Smith rookie or Michael Manteit.
It also sends the message that we look after our players so would be better for talent retention and attracting talent. Need any help we can get on that front cause it's definitely not going to be our performances that attract players to want to come to Collingwood!
It’s a morality decision. We probably carried Broomy to long before the injury.I think that’s our problem. We carry players far too long. We can’t keep doing it.
He had a split decision to make, oval ball bounce anywhere. He made it. Most of us would have the same decision at the time, and many have and not been injured in any way. No thought for himself, just playing the ballCertainly a 50/50 decision to be made.
By the view in the recliners, by the view in the crowd, and only a very few (mostly oppo supporters) were close to the incident, there are differing opinions.
From my recliner, he was a metre from the ball which was heading to goal.
From his point of view, which none of us had, he thought he was closer, Shaw was closer, and it was worth a shot.
Bad decision, but who’s to say we wouldn’t have done the same from his viewpoint?
I defend the decision from my recliner, and will continue to do so, especially as the result of that decision was so devastating.
The bad news for CFC and his cohorts, is that I’ll make the same decisions, from the same recliner, maybe with the Home brew this time, vs Carlton.
Side by Side indeed!
I disagree. As you stated we probably carried him too long. Just because he got injured doesn’t mean we, as a club have a moral obligation to keep him on. We can support him though rehab, however, he gets a new contract based upon what he has done on the field. At this stage, he hasn’t really done anything. He has had opportunities but has failed to be a regular 22.It’s a morality decision. We probably carried Broomy to long before the injury.
But now he has been injured in the service of the club, as I have stated before, it is morally incumbent upon us to give him every opportunity to resurrect his career.

Then best you review my posts, in particular my call for Broomheads future contract situation.Never said I was normal but I am human and more than happy to say sorry when I am wrong.
Can you imagine the uproar if the ball had taken a slightly different trajectory and grazed the post and Broomy hadn't tried to connect with it.
Yes I certainly can... but given the trajectory the ball did take...I still can't work out why he swung his leg at it..
I’m in N11 and agree 100%.I sit second level on that end and I called it as I "saw" it in real time.
By the way I really don't want to see a replay of that incident.

Broomy had a go - and got injured as a result.
If more of our players were as committed to that extent we would be further up the ladder.
To those seeking to diminish his actions . . . I am totally speechless.
So are you the only one to have played the game, sorry l have forgotten that. Must remember next time l to the club house and see all the teams l played in. Split second decision, got it wrong, like you never have.Its well off. ohh an oval shape ball how ever could I judge and read where it's going to bounce after playing this game for all my life.
Majority of the time you know where it's going, especially when its bouncing end over end with pace, when the pace comes off the ball that is when the funny bugger fairys tend to take hold of our "oval ball".
He was a forking mile away from it no matter what fracking angle you viewed it from on TV. At the ground I can understand having a altered view (including Tims view of it) but anyone watching on TV that thought having a crack at a ball already over the line moving with pace and almost 1m from him needs to go to speck savers.
