How's your arm? Great, take this note to the umpire...

That's a holiday

That's a holiday

Two weeks I reckon

Unfortunate. He had his eyes on the ball and it was a chest mark, but it looked terrible when he turned his body.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Caddy might be in a bit earlier than we thought

 

[fishardansin]

Much better than last week all across the ground, but were still amateur with the turnovers and not defending the corridor properly when they switch.

If we can keep pushing up and moving the ball quick but remove those turnovers we're looking good here. Are all of their scores from turnovers?

 

[ant555]

Looks like a 2 or 3 . Would have been better to just go full unco at the footy and not brace for contact.

All he had to do was pretend to try and mark because he was in the contest.

This is the thing, he takes them as chest marks all the time, that’s his preferred option, unfortunate in this case it looks like he’s tried to clean the bloke up

Unfortunate. He had his eyes on the ball and it was a chest mark, but it looked terrible when he turned his body.

I don't really know what else he could've done. I feel like he needed to protect himself in this situation as Cunningham was coming in on an angle.

Shocked that it's 2MP on the tribunal watch though - not exactly an aggressor.

 

[Mootsy]

Last second braced himself, would have looked better just going for the mark. But it’s hard to gauge when you’re not the player on the ground.

 

[ghostdog]

I saw a guy trying to take a mark. Never took his eyes off the ball. I reckon we can appeal if he's cited.

Whoops!

Yep, the Sydney guy is definitely in the wrong. Front on contact.

He was going to jump and take a chest mark in his stomach anyhow.

Had someone saying "he shouldn't have hit him so hard". So I asked this guy, "does that mean he shouldn't lead so hard?" ... perhaps we can insist that defenders don't fight so hard for front position so a forward doesn't have to lead so hard to beat them to the ball? lol

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Did well to compete after that incident when he could've easily lowered his head and done nothing for the rest of the game.

 

[Old Campaigner]

right in the moosh

 

[Mootsy]

Hopefully he realised, ultimately, it’s just a game, and rare, awkward stuff like this can occur, y’know, and essentially it is just a game, where people kick a ball around and hopefully through those big sticks, but there is more to life. He’ll come back refreshed and the better man for it.

 

[citizen-erased]

Im claiming in the contest and a fine please

 

[JT_the_Man]

Surely gets off, was just going for a mark.

 

[TheUnicorn]

Who the **** knows what’s gonna happen when it comes to the tribunal/MRO. Could be a fine, could be 20 weeks.
