Traded #13: Orazio Fantasia - Off to Carlton as a delisted free agent, scored a 2 year deal?

[Beerfish]

And you'd probably be sitting out for weeks if you had such is the current state of the game. You can't sanction the reaction to the niggle then allow the niggle to remain. If it was one of our defenders you just know there'd be a week in it.

 

[Harlequin]

Love the new thread title.

Glad to see him back last night

 

[BrunoV]

I would have knocked Stratton out. Just straight up munted him; not after the 1st or even 5th pinch, but shortly thereafter.
Orazio, you're a classier man than I...

Not that I have particularly violent streak but I would have put Stratton in the camel clutch and made him humble.

Then I would not have repented, pleaded self defence and then taken to the media asking what I am supposed to do if the umpires on the ground wont protect me (which air time may also just descend into a alcohol and drug fueled assessment of each of the AFL administrators).

You can see it now:

Q: "What about Gil?"

BV: "He's a no good piece of s**t, no good mother *er!"

The pinching is much ado nothing - This kind of activity has been part of footy since the year dot - And don't think Stratton is the only player who does this or similar - I expect Stratton to receive 2 weeks for the stomping incident.

I do very much like this line of thought. What relationship does the camel clutch have to camel toe? Befores and afters?

So was shirtfronting blokes not that long ago yaco. You can't legislate against the reaction but allow the provocation to continue.

I believe it was Donald Trump who evolved the move.

I had not heard of it before. Check out 1:14!

i would be stunned if anyone on the football field pinched an opposition player prior to 1980.

*More than once

 

[DapperJong]

i would be stunned if anyone on the football field pinched an opposition player prior to 1980.

I would safely bet the opposite.

 

[emblurr]

Wonder if Stratton would do the same on Daniher. They both have as stake in Noble Boy beer together. Anyway he can gtfo and cop his bans.

I would be the opposite too, can even throw in Squirrel grips.

 

[TheGrizz]

I can guarantee that Plugger, Leigh Matthews and Di Pierdomenico wouldnt have been pinched...

Provided their opponents had half a brain.

Camera's everywhere mean it's too visible an action to be acceptable these days as it'll filter down to junior leagues. & it would only have gone on for so long back in the day before the victim or a more aggressive team mate put an end to it.

 

[rumply]

anyway be interested to see what he gets, suspect the tribunal won't be too excited with having to rule on 'stomping'.

 

[Dave]

If someone tried that at local footy they'd get smashed, end of. No place for it if the bloke you are doing it to can't respond appropriately.

 

[Andronicus]

Stratton = coward. Knew full well that he couldn't be belted.

Would have loved him to try it on someone like Ron Andrews.

You'd love to see a footballer repeatedly pinching a 65 year old man?

Your goggle history must contain some weird s**t.

 

[Despair]

Shadow.

 

[BomberTime]

Worst game I have seen him play. Very strange.

 

[blitzer]

Just give it a day or two til we find out he's injured something. Happens every time.

 

[TheBrightSide]

We don’t have to wait that long, Woosha confirmed it in the presser.
He basically said he has “soreness” in the same area that has been troubling him.
Gone.

 

[yaco55]

A totally off night like a few others.

 

[Lore]

Kind of hard for a small forward to get near it when it’s trapped in D50. Soreness won’t help but it’s kinda a moot point

 

[Mercurial89]

He would have been used further up ground to get him into the game if he was fit.

I'm surprised we are carrying him if he's sore with the way he has a habit of breaking down

 

[Tiimmbo]

he was starting every bounce as our deepest forward and staying the deepest forward. They only moved him up the ground half way through the 3rd qtr. delivery was average going fwd but he also didn’t look to be moving too well.
