I agree but also accept that other's (and most importantly the Tribunal) saw it as an intention to bump and therefore the duty of care resides with him. Personally, I thought his intent was always the ball right until the moment he realised Aish was going to get there ahead of him but in the...

You know that something is fundamentally wrong with the MRP system when vision on the left results in a two match suspension whilst the one on the right is deemed worthy of a three week ban :rolleyes:.

I'm no lip-reader but I think Selwood might have been saying ''It's ok Tom ... one day you might beat Richmond in a final. I haven't either''

Fair call ... my error. I recorded the opening round 'loss' as a 'win' so the Doggies ledger since they played the Suns back in 2018 and prior to last night was actually 22-1 and not 23-0. The Tigers figure of 0-24 for the same period is still correct. What was somewhat intriguing about last...

It appears as though by referring to Nankervis as 'their flog' that you have settled on Stewart as 'our flog' ... I commend you on your most appropriate choice. Further, I also assume you meant 'maim' instead of 'main' otherwise your question makes little sense. Anyway, I don't think you'll...

You have to go all the way back to Round 7, 2018 since the Bulldogs last lost the free kick count by nine or more. In the period since then, however, they have managed to win the free kick count by nine or more on no fewer than 23 occasions. Richmond, on the other hand, have had to endure during...

That's all well & good and looks impressive but it also lacks nuance as it not only doesn't specify different teams but also doesn't accommodate a host of other mitigating factors. For example, Richmond were a pretty bloody good team over that period so I'm hypothesising that we account for a...

I’m not sure if you’re being deliberately provocative and feel the need to use contemporary data as ‘evidence’ for a time where it has no relevance - perhaps because your conscience is still troubled, or that you really are just that obtuse. But let’s ignore for a moment the sarcastic manner in...

It had crossed my mind that 545 words might have been a bit overwhelming for you. Can I suggest that you break this down into five daily instalments of 109 words per day and get back to me on the weekend when you have finished reading the last one? Based on the average reading speed for a 6th to...

I’m not sure what Tom Stewart’s weak act in June last year has to do with us losing a final to Brisbane 10 weeks later. Does this mean since we beat you twice in the 2018 home & away season, that ergo you were subsequently knocked out in the 1st week of the finals by Melbourne? It’s also a...

I think Selwood was just reminding him since it was only a H&A game and not September that they still had a really good chance of winning the game unlike when it really matters against the Tigers .... 1967 GF Rich 16.18.114 d Gee 15.15.105 1969 SF Rich 25.17.167 d Gee 7.7.49 1980 SF Rich...

I agree. Jack Viney and Dion Prestia probably do too but going by your comment ''Prestia and now Viney. The faux-hardmen of the league getting dumpstered by the Tomcat one by one'' it would appear that you clearly do ... just so long as it isn't one of your own on the end of a cheap shot so it...

He's an AFL Stooge alright ... his 'State of the Game' diatribe a few years back which pretty much came out of nowhere and was championed almost unilaterally by Whately was effectively concocted so Steve Hocking could get his rule changes through.

Based on your interpretation of a 'faux-hardman' I guess you better add Neville Bruns to that list too ...

I'd suggest a far greater regret for Carlton would be that when they selected Bolton back in 2016 it was Brendon the coach and not Shai the player :p
