I know Tunbridge is hardly a household name, but no mention of his suspensions on channel 10 news Melbourne. not that i'd expect anything less.

Would love for West Coast to absolutely smash Hawthorn and see what the east Coast journalists say - examples could be:

Hawthorn were unfairly scheduled to travel interstate and endure only a six day break, someone needs to fire a rocket up the AFL for such discriminatory scheduling.

Flat track bullies West Coast Win was not conclusive as the Hawthorn players were intimidated by the over the top feral rude West Coast supporters Threatening to make them go to Tasmania again.

Overrated Mathew Natinui and Marcus Shuey worked hard in the midfield while big boy McEvoy was constantly unfairly manhandled by Hard man Michael Gaff.

Cyril was outstanding, almost winning the game for Hawthorn with his gut running amazing 4 touches, entirely overshadowing the west coast debutant Samuel Butler.

Luke Hodge battled manfully while suffering a terrible hangover from consuming too many drinks while driving home with Robbo after AFL 360. His commitment to the sport is something young Aus kick kids could learn from and he will be remembered forever as an AFL legend.

Several West Coast players have been reported for purposely pushing their thighs into Sam Mitchell's knee. In an attempt to draw free kicks West Coast purposely singled out attacks on Mitchell by running backward into him. Umpires were aware of the untoward tactic and awarded Mitchell full Brownlow votes.

To be fair the media know Sam Butler's name. He's part of the drug cheating 2006 premiership team. The only West Coast team they know about.

you could hear it in his commentary he was barracking against us in the GWS game. Continued on with his tirade against Shuey on the Couch. Idiot has no idea what ducking is.
Disagreed with the Tunbridge suspension and said we should challenge. Smartest thing he's ever said.

Doesn't like Shuey very much though does he...

No coincidence we are playing his Hawks this Friday either. Make sure the men in green hesitate to pay head high free kicks to Shuey.

It's a bit annoying that Jelwood is considered a legend but Shuey is some sort of menace. Both do the exact same thing.
Yes but one is so brave :rolleyes:

Selwood couldn't hack carrying a whole midfield so he cried to/like a Scott brother to get Dangerfield over to help him.
