Cotchin out for a few weeks with a break in shoulder

If ever you doubt the brutality of AFL - have a look at the McGovern injury.

When someone criticises an AFL player’s toughness or bravery, I find it not only completely unwarranted, but just dead wrong.

Anyone who questions the toughness of AFL players have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

Anyone who questions the toughness of AFL players have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

Most footy in general is tough and requires the conviction of each player to 'go when it is your turn'.

There is no more insulting a term than "footsteps" You don't hear it as much nowadays and this is a good thing. (I often used it as a player and once had it used against me - dire day as I went white line fever - yukk)

Interesting discussion of Port Adelaide going ruckless v Richmond and Swans
Advantage - mobility at clearances

How going without a ruck is helping Port move the ball, and why it might impact the rest of the league

As Port Adelaide takes a no-ruck approach to their footy, Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson ask whether the move is sustainable - and will other clubs follow suit?

Strange when they didn't go ruckless against us - they brought in Teakle - and when he was injured they used Finlayson in the ruck.

They did have a ruckman though?
Ladhams scored 2 goals and took our ruckman out of the game.

You're better than this, Bedders.

 

[bedford]

You're better than this, Bedders.

Tell that to a few people that have been affected by him when pissed !

Oh oh oh… but it’s legal

 

[Dan87]

3 cracking games tomorrow

May park it

 

[bedford]

Oh oh oh… but it’s legal

Some people don't handle it . Maybe ask an old South back pocket what he coped from him .

 

[Millky95]

Be nice to see GWS win tomorrow. Port winning also helps us but rather see the Suns win

Yuck, says all you need to know about his character.

 

[hairy biker]

Tom Stewart straight to tribunal.

No action for Fyfe's touch on ump.

Zac Jones;
(from AFL.com)

Parker is running forward, gathers and handballs the football as he is tackled from behind by St Kilda's Seb Ross, and collides with Jones, who is in a near stationary position and turns to brace for contact. It was the view of the MRO that Jones' actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.

 

[caesar88]

I'm kinda on Thomas' side on this one. If you wanna be a lippy, disrespectful smart-arse to someone just doing their job - even if poorly - then you have every right to cop a lippy, disrespectful response.

That said, idiot for doing so and should've just blocked the person who commented.

Careless grading rather than Intentional as well. Nothing Careless about that action

He could've waited more than 10 minutes after the final siren sounded to look at his Socials let alone make the comment.

Might have been ‘cos that beacon of righteousness Chris Scott gave him such a glowing personal reference
