If he's not gone I'll be pissed. Knowing how much the MRP hate us, it'll be thrown out

I hope they let it go, because those sorts of hits aren't exactly Leigh Matthews material, or even Mark Riccuito material.Many clueless people in the media then too going on that rationale. There's been plenty of debate on the incident on the panel shows...many of them think/hope it will be too
Will be an interesting one to watch
Good to see Robbo pot the crowd for booing Jobe in the HUN today.
I thought the crowd were booing the umps for the free kick being paid, not Watson. That would make more sense.
Depends on who you ask.
Eagles fans say it was at the umpiring decision, which makes sense considering they were booing whilst being carried to a victory.
Dons fans say it was at Jobe, which makes sense considering we were filthy at the game in general.
We'll never really know. And anyway, some probably were booing Jobe, just as some were probably booing the decision.
And then apologise in the ensuing discussion and admit he got it wrong
Has he actually? Can you link me?
That's good to hear. To WC fans, I apologise
It wasn't at Jobe. First at the free kick (and once we saw replay - from distance it looked like shoulder collision and his head jarred back once Waters collided with Jobe's upper shoulder). Then at NLM for the melee. I wasn't even looking at Jobe at the point the medicos took him off. I can't speak for the whole crowd - there are nobs in every supporter base. But from my experience 1- umpires and 2- NLM.
I was under the understanding that he was being booed whilst being carried off.
It's funny how the entire crowd saw NLM pushing a player around, but the same entire crowd missed the shoulder to head which NLM was standing up against. Must have been one massive unison blink.
So being inconclusive proves you lot were right to start booing?Have you seen it at normal speed and not just slo-mo? Sure slo-mo picks up the shoulder clip, but really? You want us, at least 50m, some fans up to 100m away, to see that with players packed inside 50 bunched around play while the ball is there? Even the commentators got it wrong, claiming that they collided heads. Please, for a minute, think about it without waving the big Essendon flag.
Just picture you're at the ground, there's a collision which you can't really see and Eagles players start a fight and pushing your players around. How would you react?

Yep. There's a few players I might not be so magnanimous about but I felt pretty bad about that hit.Funnily enough when Matthew Lloyd took out Brad Sewell, all of our supporters, despite their hatred of Hawthorn and with emotions sky high, clapped off the fallen as he left the field.
There was no mistaking that sound.
Have you read the last few pages?can someone explain to me why they would actually be booing the decision?? surely not that it shouldnt have been a free kick ??

The sheep mentality that goes on in WC crowds is as funny as it is sad, seems none of them are able to think for themselves
