Nearly every time I watch this team play I find myself thinking there really is a lot to work with here. Certainly some missing pieces and needs polish (a lot some weeks) but there is a lot here.
When I looked across the team selected on Thursday night, I remember thinking that it actually looks like a decent team. Much better than 17th on the ladder. Very happy with what I've seen tonight. Very, very happy.
The thing about the 'accidental head clash' line is that the head clash is really an entirely foreseeable consequence of the choice to bump. Just because something is an accident, that doesn't mean no one is at fault. That it's accidental is why it is graded 'careless' rather than 'intentional'.
Yup, Danger clearly made the decision to bump, so he's liable for the head clash. Careless, high contact are certain. The only way for him to play Easter Monday is if they grade it medium which they clearly will not. If they go high impact it's 2 weeks. There is no discount available.
Geelong lose to the wooden spooners, we beat the scum by a point after being 39 down at half time, and Danger is almost certainly out of the Easter Monday game. Couldn't really ask for anything more.
Also - footy just generally seems an order of magnitude more watchable this year so far.
