Decoded message: screw you Footscray, we'll be putting in our Good Friday request in partnership with Carlton.
Good. Western can't not have a women's team because they have spent months working on it, but Good Friday they can swan in at the last minute when all the ground work has been done.

Given you have addressed this to me personally TOD I'll do my best to answer.

I struggle to think of any player that doesn't look for free kicks nowadays. Your Venn Diagram probably needs to be more of a presentation of shades of initiating, not avoiding on to actively searching for free kicks.

Personally I'm concerned. Two weeks would have been enough time for us to pen a Bobby Sands style tribute song to LT but I'm worried that there simply won't be enough time with his one week break. Would love a Che style LT t shirt though. Perfect.

Also, going to order a tshirt emblazoned simply with 1954 in big letters for later in the year. Should be good fun.
A t-shirt! Good call.

Wish I had have thought of that before I agreed to spend all of last week naked in bed with Yoko Ono.



(And thanks to yourself, OF, and D23D for your thoughtful replies.)

TT has the Che-style one covered with Froggy, but hopefully this meets the spirit of the request.
Yep, it's the one area where the merch department have dropped the ball.....

Just not enough photos of players nipple tweaking on a tshirt.

Why does the league make rules around Lindsay? Seriously.

Maybe if they got off their love of the "sexy" Bulldogs, they'd realise that half their team use the tactics LT used today.

It is seriously alarming that the media can go so hard at one individual.

The only thing I wish he wouldn't do is lift the arm - both times tonight, the tackle is already high, it's not necessary and it is the only part that invites fair criticism. Not as bad as that kid at the Dogs who holds the tacklers arm onto his neck with his own arm, but it's still not good. Christ knows they were hardly the most objectionable frees paid tonight.

Good on Eddie for defending him!!

Imagine the outcry if opposition players berated Goodes like they did Lindsay after that free kick? Disgusting behaviour!
Imagine the outcry if opposition supporters booed Goodes, like they did LT.

Oh.

He's my favourite player and I've said that before.

Dermie could have actually jumped the shark tonight, other media types starting to defend Lindsay and point what is hypocracy and laziness at best - at worst...don't really want to go there.
