Not pointless at all mate! You can now enjoy your Friday night a little bit more!Guess I booked flights for the Friday to make sure I got there for a Saturday game was pointless, could have just flown Saturday morning and saved a night of accomodation

The western bulldogs Facebook page has commented to people to stay tuned regarding the VFL game now clashing with the AFL game. If they move that game to Sunday and I don’t get the chance to watch JUH, Garcia and Weightman I am going to be pissed.
Will almost certainly be moved to an earlier slot as Gold Coast will want to get back to QLD that night.

This is actually pretty disgraceful by Dermott. He is the one who should actually be getting called out here.
Bailey Smith was wrong to step over the West Coast player after kicking a goal, it was a bad look for our game. He should have instead acted like this role model.
I invite you to look at the video closely, Leon. It shows 2 views of the mark. From the front, it looks like Ziebell's hand hit Bruce in the face. A few seconds later, it's shown more from the side, it's clear no contact was made, an ineffective attempt to spoil. I was of your view until I looked at it a second time. McKay gives the customary AFL approved-by-custom shove in the back after the mark was taken, not Ziebell. It also shows Libber wandering around next to Ziebell, completely disinterested, until Smith raced in. Isn't any 'gobbing off' between Bruce and Ziebell their concern ? But even if Smith was entitled to respond to the 'gobbing off', what's with the push and shove ?Ziebell got a little cheap shot in to Bruce after he took the mark for his 10th goal and was gobbing off at him a few minutes earlier when he tackled him.
Smith and Libba had a go at Ziebell for this, they weren’t taunting about the margin.
Im not a fan of taunting and faux tough guy sh*t either but it’s pretty clear from watching the replay that Ziebell was being a knob and Smith and Libba were flying the flag.

What about Libber, though, getting sucked into an incident that nobody in the vicinity was at all interested in until Smith raced in ? It could easily have cost Bruce his 10th, suspensions for himself, Macrae and others, too, and all with a couple of minutes to go and 122 points up ? It's one thing to fly the flag and aggression but you don't have to be a dickhead.

Ziebell tried to bury Bruce in a pretty dangerous tackle not long before this incident (not the first cheap shot Jack has attempted in his life). It was pretty obvious being at the game that Smith was just flying the flag and letting him know what he thought about it.
There's a can of worms waiting to be opened, BRWB, to what extent do we accept bad behaviour from the 'Disadvantaged' ?I wonder if the Dermott was getting at the propensity of society to treat people with mental health issues with kid gloves. For said person to then engage in dodgy behaviour makes it problematic for players and media and society to feel comfortable in addressing the dodgy behaviour as we aren't able to adequately separate the desire to criticise and chastise dodgy behaviour from a concern for not upsetting the apple cart of a mentally ill person.
I have no issues with you disagreeing with me but I can't see a 'cheap shot ' after the mark. I've looked at it several times, including just before this postI have watched the replay and disagree with you.
Ziebell got in a cheap shot on .....
Libba and Smith were clearly flying the flag IMO.

It's not the vid I looked at a couple of days ago but it's the same as on the Club website version, so
2.26 Ziebell backs in, Bruce marks, Naughton embraces Bruce.
2.27. Libber walks past Ziebell, uninterested.
2.28 Smith attacks, Libber looks up and at Ziebell, Naughton looks back at Libber
2.29 Libber approaches Ziebell and raises his hands to push him.
Until smith rushed in, nobody was interested in an incident, Ziebell and the other North players were head cast down, Bruce was being hugged by Naughton, Libber was disinterested, head down, almost bored. I query your 'cheap shot'. I can't see one, but even if there is, is that justification for a young player, talented as Smith is or not, to create an incident out of nothing that disrespects a senior player, captain of his Club taking a risky back into a possible pack 2 minutes before the end of a humiliating defeat for no apparent reason ?
Flying the Flag is supporting a team mate under attack. Was Smith ever under attack ? Libber is a senior player, now. He should know when to step in and cool a stupid issue and not escalate it.
You have to be the real Dougie, come on, admit it. You can tell me, I won't tell anyone else, I stood next to your father at the bar in the Social Club on the night of the 'Merger', as fine and handsome a man yourself100% exactly how I saw it.
Thanks, Boris. I was responding to the 'cheap shot' identified by Leon. I was at the game and have watched a number of replaysThe cheap shot wasn't in the marking contest. It was a few minutes earlier when Jack tried to send Bruce into the underground car park.
Gee, you snuck that one in, Bro_Pro, where should the conversation go ? This is about character. The Club is no longer the domain of knuckle draggers, committee members shouting the bar with club funds, Club Secretaries keeping cash in their own safes, club captains holding regular bookings at local motels. Character is as important as football ability, even at our Club.Hahaha wow this place!! Ok we get everyone’s point now let’s move the conversation along.
