[The Devils Advocate]

I am starting to wish Tasmania had a team, I am so tired of our supporter base. Fancy shitting on a bloke who's been a shining light for us for the last 5 years.

I just don’t understand why you would feel compelled to personally message any of these guys.

 

[MiguelM]

I just don’t understand why you would feel compelled to personally message any of these guys.

And it happens everywhere. Look at the lines woman hit by the tennis ball, she is receiving death threats and taunts about her deceased son by Djokovic fans.

in what universe is that ok.

Name and shame them IMO. For too long these cowards have hidden behind their keyboards.

 

[RearNaked]

Might have a sook on big footy about that’s dodgy hand pass but takes a special type of dickhead to message someone directly to abuse them about something that happened in a game where we lost by 10 goals.

still was a stupid ******* thing to do

I just don’t understand why you would feel compelled to personally message any of these guys.

I’ve never understood why fans feel the the needs to send abusive im’s to players. Doubt they would act the same way if one of their family/ friends was a young kid coming through the system.

so... rubbed out for one week or two do we think?

 

[Schnitzengruben]

He's fine.

nah man - that won’t be a fine. listen to my man beerfish:

1

 

[mad_monkey_j]

1 week at least. No doubt.

 

[Beerfish]

Look, Ollie came back on and played out the game.

Clearly a week.

 

[MiguelM]

He hit him in the ribs. Its football FFS.

Didn't hit the head & Wines played out the game. Just stood his ground and you are allowed to do that. Would be gobsmacked if sighted.

 

[ant555]

Just needs to find a more consistent level over the season. It can be hard as the small forward and pressure player. He is good enough to be kicking 2 goals a game on average.

 

[Vindicater]

If he has the ball inside 40m he needs to take a shot.

That should be drilled into him over the next pre-season.

Be more selfish

 

[blitzer]

If we ever put out a consistent 2 quality talls - say one star one decent one to provide some structure and predictability to our forward line then Tippa will absolutely star. Right now the small forwards are playing most of the season with 1 hand tied behind their back because we haven't been able to manufacture a consistent and reliable structure.

Most of our forwards except Tippa can barely string 2-3 decent games together without getting injured.

Need a different angle. I would say hitting the shoulder there.

Has he been sighted?

what angle is going to remove his bicep from the side of his head? Hasn't been sighted AFAIK

Not that one.

 

[MiguelM]

ok, will take another look but that angle doesn't show definite contact with the head.

Looking at the replay it looks like contact made with Tippa's hip to the shoulder for mine.

The bump in the GWS game to Petraca was miles worse and that still should not be sighted.

the league is so crooked
Neal-Bullen gets 4 weeks for a tackle
Mumford punches blokes in the head for a whole match, gets a fine
AT-M hip and shoulder to the head doesn't even get a mention

Yes, the league is crooked.
Neal-Bullen deserved that suspension
Mumford should have received a suspension
Walla didn't get him in the head.

The angle you provided showed no conclusive evidence and considering Michael Christian gave Shiel "high impact" for a guy that played the rest of the game and had no serious injury, if there was head contact Walla would have been done stone cold without any shadow of a doubt.

Don't want Walla to play against the demons this week huh?
