Not that easy. The ground runs very closely alongside Moorabool Street, so not a lot of room to expand there.

Genuine 50/50 game this one. As most are this weekend!

I am hearing Western Bulldogs have sacked Luke Beveridge. Is this official?

Agreed. Kudos to the Blues, they never gave up.... and that is what you need as a team. Some controversy for sure, but the Blues didn't stop. If the AFL have a 'captains call' thing like the NRL, maybe that game is different. That said, Freo had the rub for 3 quarters.

And that was the issue. The immediate umpire called a mark. Another umpire came in and said he thought it was touched, but you cannot review for a mark.... and that was the problem. Disappointing really.

One ump thought it was touched. After a chat with the others, he realised he must have missed the memo.

This is why people cannot stand umpires. The players fly here, go through the whole thing... play for 3 hours... and some umpire gets upset that a Freo player said the ball that was touched, was touched, so pays a free. Then pays another cause he's really upset. AFL will be loving this... get...

Never seen more blatant cheating in my life. About 3 frees late that never went to Freo. Then the umpire chooses not to consider a touched ball. Then the peanut goes for dissent. Never seen a bigger stitch up. I'd be embarrassed with that win as a Carlton supporter.

What's more embarrassing is that my weak club fronted the tribunal with 3 weeks and guilty. Utterly embarrassing.

Says the guy hoping. How does it feel that your club is knee deep in the middle of it now? Intentionally averting authorities. Yikes.

Well, I did not expect Essendon to simply capitulate. Neither did many and most others. Somewhat baffled. I thought it was 2-4, but I still feel that is overs. I guess we will have to wait for Collingwood or Carlton to get caught in the same position before a reasonable defence is brought to the...

Well, the fact we have 23 pages of content here shows that there is still a lot of ambiguity around this. The Maynard incident changed the rules, and we know that, however working forward will take some work and some time. For sure nobody wants to see injured players and just the same, nobody...

Thanks... I try ;)

Agree with that. Was baffling to be honest, but we get used to it at Bomberland.

Actually fortunate. If he puts his arms out and collects Cunningham with an elbow the guy is down hard. Worse if he didn't try to pull up at all and kept stream-rolling at high speed through Harry. I mean, yes they would have arrived at the ball at the same time but he would have knocked...

With you being a Sydney Swans supporter, I think the guy is just asking why the same rules are not applied among all teams in the competition. As in, why Sydney seem to get an armchair from the AFL when it comes to the MRP. Redman goes out for a week for a jumper punch, yet a Swans player has...

10 minutes before the game starts the media are telling us Essendon are soft and stand for nothing. Now they are thugs.... far out, cannot make it up.

Come on! He didn't cop a shoulder to the head. Peter pulled his arm in to his body and turned his body to make the impact as soft as possible. At the pace they were both going this could have been 10x worse than the Maynard one if this did not happen. If Cunningham wants to run against the...

His physical decision to jump would have been made 3 strides and 5 metres ago. His foot may be on the ground here, however his body is already in the air. You don't get it, and that's fine.

The guy was moving at 30kph hour taking massive strides. You want him to stop on a dime and then tackle? Man, NASA wants to talk to you.

This is honestly the funniest thing I have seen on Bigfooty in years! And I feel guilty for laughing out loud at what is a no laughing matter. "You can see from my 8-bit Commodore 64 screenshots that if we could see Peter Wrights eyeballs they would probably be focused square on Cunningham...

You could end this thread here. We need to stop saying how courageous someone is when they are running backward with the flight of a ball that was not meant for them. And intercept mark is great, when you don't do it in front of a barelling full forward at full speed. Harry Cunningham has...

hahaha hahhahahaah yeah Redman loved that last week.

yah but one plays for Essendon and the other was a part of a Collingwood premiership.

If Peter Wright kept barrelling to the ball, they would have arrived together and Cunningham would still be asleep now. How can you not know this? Look at Peters body language here, he is doing all he can to pull up. In addition his right arm is pulled in to his body and with his left arm he is...

An extended arm see's Wright with a few broken ribs and the achievement of beating evolutionary awareness to protect himself. Harry still slams in to Peters body at full speed. It makes little difference to the outcome of Harry however probably see's two injured players and not one.

If Peter Wright kept running at the ball like a stream train and did not pull at at the end then they arrive together and Cunningham is probably still out cold today.

I really don't know. I know that Harry did not go to protect himself or his opponent. Peter on the other hand did. Peter had more visibility of the situation so it should be expected that he protect himself and those around him. But why did Harry not? A guess a question I have is whether Peter...

Yep, that's a fair assessment. When watching the vision, Wright has his eyes on the ball all the way up until the last moment when he appears to see Harry and chooses to brace for contact. If he did indeed know well ahead of time that Harry was coming back with the flight, what is he to do? I...
