Mark Robinson (SEN) has a go at Clarkson in Press Conference re: Penalties

[philhawk]

Well, not so much had a go, but definitely stuck into Clarkson for the number of penalties we conceeded in the first half.

Clarkson fired back by asking Robinson if he was an Essendon fan (which indeed he was), telling him that that's the way that he wanted the boys to play and commented on the hardness (including penalties) that Essendon used when they had their high-period at the beginning of this century.

Do we have a problem with giving away penalties? I don't think so personally, but I dont agree with Clarkson taking the attitude that he'll 'cope with it'.

Thoughts?

I think we give a couple brain fade frees. like Boyles 50, Lados 50, and Ozzies 50.

Lado shouldnt of carried on, Boyle being out the game for so long should learn you cant make contact with the marking player if you werent in the contest and well ozzie.......well ozzie is ozzie and he wouldnt be the same if he didnt frustrate us week after week with free kicks.

I think Lewis and Brown have cut back on their free kicks with out loosing their agression.

But it was good for AC to snap back, I dont mind Clarko's comments but we need to stop giving away the 50's.

Ozzie is the one at times that just makes you wonder. Lewis and brown are physical but increasingly in a way that isnt costing the team in frees(well at least whil cup-cake goldspink isnt umpiring anyway).
