I see people are still sticking a microphone in front of Wayne Carey.

Wayne isn't alone though. Really polarising incident.

 

[Kram]

Gotta be 2 or 3.

Zero lol.

Is only 1 in 4 thinking he should not get suspended polarising?

I think so. Those that do can't decide if its just a clumsy incident or a serious suspension.

Was plenty of spite in the Swans/Bombers game. From both sides clearly.

What spite was there from us? There was physicality from us because we didn't back down in the face of it from the Bombers but not sure I saw any spite?

There were videos online of your boys giving as good as they got.

Blakey shoving Wright while getting him in the face, Gulden late into the back of Draper in a marking contest, Heeney slapping someone in the face. In isolation you wouldn't think twice but with how the game was played.

Don't really consider any of that 'physical', it was all a touch ordinary.

When was Gulden late into Draper's back? Do you have the links to the videos? Genuinely haven't seen any of that, only us not backing down when the Bombers initiated. Not sure what spite we had coming into the game, seemed entirely started by Scott during the week.

Like I said, in isolation you wouldn’t look twice on the Gulden one. Just with the way the game was going, it looks a bit of a cheap shot.

I don’t really care either, just showing that it was happening both ways. I had no idea there was any ‘rivalry’ between the clubs at all.

Yeah the Blakey one was right after the Wright incident so I kinda get it, but that Gulden one is super weird to include. He's literally just gone for the mark and not made it haha. You see that countless times a game. It's not even a cheap shot because he doesn't tuck his body up, he stays open to minimise impact.

There isn't a rivalry. Bombers came out looking to hurt us and we didn't appreciate it, funnily enough, so stood our ground. It was entirely initiated by them because they figure they need to go the biff to be more successful.

I think he's lucky that Draper is a brick shithouse and he's as tiny as a mouse, because he could have been done for charging. Clearly late, never went for the ball, never even thought about it. But you know Essendon are thugs

 

[SM]

Suppose if there's vision of one of our players swinging an elbow to break a jaw then I'd accept it was like for like, but not sure a mis-timed jump for a mark really cuts it lol.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Maybe the Hind-missed-by-a-mile was payback to Heeney breaking his hand punching Zerk-Thatcher last season. Longmire said of the incident at the time ...."it's bad luck for him". Thuggery.

He clearly braces for contact. Which ironically is what Wright did, the only difference is Gulden was coming in from behind (giggity).

Watching Papley talk negatively about it was pretty funny after the s**t they pulled with Daicos last year.

At the end of the day, you ended up winning reasonably comfortably and that's all that matters.

I dunno I don't see how that's a brace, his body is completely open. But agree to disagree.

So you're going back to the well on an incident where a Swans player injured himself?

By punching someone ...and somehow not cited.

Scott simply meant attack on the ball

Every angle: Rampe cops two weeks for off-the-ball hit

Sydney co-captain Dane Rampe has been handed a two-week ban for this incident with Lachlan McNeil

Sydney aren't thugs alright.

 

[SM]

Wow club has player suspended in shocker. What a weird angle. As an aside I'd suggest we have one of the lowest suspension rates for that sort of thing in the league.

Ah silly me and your players for misunderstanding. Hind and Draper must be slow learners.

Well of course ...Heeney punches someone in the head behind play and somehow not cited.

If the best you can do is a single incident from years ago.. You're kind of proving my point. But you can bring it up for a fifth time if you want.

Did I mention Papley's elbow to Nick Daicos' back last season after a dozen Swans attacked him? Papley and Heeney prepared to give their views after the game so quite rightly being shown as hypocrites from year before.

What's hypocritical? Did Papley say the Bombers were wrong to do it? Think he said you have to actually win the game. We didn't beat the Pies so we'd know. It's like I said to you during the game, bring it on, it's great, you'll lose, and you did.

It's a 'facade'. He implied lots going on off the ball when not much more than other games. Every team does the same. Then Longmire goes on as if he hadn't seen it before. Too good on the day ..that's all that needed to be said.
