Past #11: Michael Firrito - did #11 proud - 2017 assistant coach at Strathmore FC w/ HMac & Narni

[astrovic]

Where? AFL website doesn't seem to have it or am I missing it?

Of course they don't. They'd barely know he exists.

He's only played over 200 games and is one of the best and most loyal clubmen in the history of the game as well as a fantastic player in a variety of roles, but yeah, he gets nothing.

You can probably tell I love the spud.

 

[Harris 10]

I wouldn't say it "Deserved" a week.

Based on previous stuff a fine IMO unless he was on two strikes.

Laughable the sling tackle on LT was described as "legal" if in the field of play, what tosh, sling tackles are not legal full stop.

Not looking at the ball, punched a bloke in the head and left bruising.

On the lower end of the scale but I just don't think we need blokes getting punched in the head.

He needed to be looking at the ball to have had it downgraded IMO, was also that fraction late. But yes, I've seen players fined for worse.

The actual wording on the site is along the lines of "selwood slapped with one. Zac gets 2 and a roo with 1"

Less respect than Zac bloody Dawson

I love Spud, especially when he plays within his limitations.

Haven't seen the incident but he's been living on the edge this year, hasn't he? I remember him mistaking the back of someone's head for a football at Etihad. Was it against the *Bombres? There was another late "spoil" to the head at Etihad on the city side iirc, maybe against the Cats.

He'll be straight back in. I've got him pencilled in for Stringer or Dickson when we play the Dogs.

 

[giantroo]

He did hit Buddy in the back of the head. Copped a fine for it.

yep, and a similar incident shoukd result in a bigger fine, then suspension....

 

[roomagic1984]

Can't really complain about this....

 

[benbanjo]

take the 1 week and run, flushed him in the face..... could have been worse.....

if we ever play a grand final and spud plays, i can see him unloading Lynch style....

 

[Twinkletoes]

Carlton medical report unhelpful, wow, thats a surprise

Carlton doctors being shady? Never.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Is it true that Kreuzer was reported clinically dead at the ground?

 

[Roo Beauty]

Is it true that Kreuzer was reported clinically dead at the ground?

Yep. But don't worry, he'll make a miraculous recovery hours before the opening bounce of next week.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Deserved a week but not when compared to Buddy's bump or when Dawson's hit gets two.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

How different was the Aaron Joseph case?

 

[astrovic]

How different was the Aaron Joseph case?

Kreuzer can actually play. Allegedly.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Probably a blessing in disguise. Resting up players is critical pre finals.

 

[andana]

So much for multicultural round.

 

[the_one]

Probably a blessing in disguise. Resting up players is critical pre finals.

absolutley a blessing in disguise. Take the 1 week and come back firing like drew.

 

[TwentyNine]

Who's our logical replacement? Tippett? Macmillan (if fit)? It's a shame the likes of Durdin/Nielson/EVW all got ruled out this year, this would've been a golden opportunity to debut one of them.

JMac is no chance. Tippett it is.

I would have thought Hansen comes in. Assuming we're confident his hips are up to it. Loogie hasn't been setting the world on fire in the magoos, but he's senior player so should be fine if fit.

If not fit, then Loose would be the logical next choice.

Hansen makes sense.

 

[boneofshin]

Hansen seems likely to come in for Spud. What will be interesting is if our backline functions well and we win, will Spud struggle to regain his spot? Brad's been reticent to make unforced changes during our winning streak since he's been back.

 

[jess_1804]

Interesting that Drew admitted the club was going to rest Spud for a match sometime between now and round 23. Worked out perfectly!

Scott: Spud (Firrito) has been our most consistent defender all year, so he'll come straight back in #NMFCMedia
