Nice to see Dean Brogan. No wonder GWS encourage a bit of mongrel.

Except it wasn't in a marking contest...

He literally marked the ball, that is a marking contest 100% of the time.

Nothing wrong with sticking out a leg/knee to protect yourself. It's been a part of football for 100+ years

I see they have 80% of the Giants fan base in the rooms at the moment.

Boot to face in that manner isn't legal. Nor was it a mark. Some very bizarre opinions being shared on this board.

How many top 8 sides has last years premier beaten this season? 1? Same as us? Yet we cop the shit. Righto.

Boot to the face it no different to a driving knee to the face. The driving knee to the face is extremely more dangerous.

Fine:



Not fine:

Should have gotten up, it was only a knee:



Yeah, a leading boot is far more dangerous than a knee to the head...

Except he broke 0 rules.

You do have a duty of care to an opponents head. A fine is the worst case scenario IMO.

If that's true any knee to the head should be a free against.

31 more inside 50s to......... the bulldogs

Yes

Pretty sure Dean Brogan opened the 2004 GF by trying to kick Keating out of the oval now I think of it.

65 inside 50s - 7 goals (22 scores)
34 inside 50s - 16 goals (25 scores)

Says that practically all of Western Bulldogs kicks inside 50 were utter garbage.

 

[PatientMental]

Yes

But it's not, and never has been.

 

[Waspy79]

High contact to the head, above insufficient force, is absolutely a free kick. Perhaps only when an opponent ducks is it allowed, even then, not really - see Duckwood. I'm not going to trawl through the rule book now though.

Also says when GWS went forward they actually had forwards.
They did try to do a bit too much through the midfield though.

 

[Byrons Firen]

The fact that Greene did it means motivation is called into question.

A recidivous with a long record was busy being wrong again. He sure is a piece of work ... very good but he fails minimum standards
Got a history of doing his more infamous work later in the night when football club morphed into night club.

Should have been a free kick obviously, not the mark of the year.

Was it a mark or a collect from a handball?

 

[PatientMental]

Where he is doesn't matter, he made contact to the head, it's a free kick.

Insufficient force

Insufficient force

Bullshit. It absolutely was sufficient, just as this was sufficient enough to cop a week.
