EDFL Div 1 Discussion 2022

[Grechy Bombers]

Having seen the replay, yes Dunn did just push Hare in the chest, from where I saw it live, I was a long way away and I was under the impression that he actually pushed Hare's head into Lang's face. Regardless, I still think Dunn had intent and the way he was carrying on afterwards certainly didn't show any remorse. I think he certainly deserves a few weeks for that but he won't get it as obviously he's protected.

If I was Langy, I would have reacted in the same way. I think most of us would! Not saying it's the right thing to do but I think he can be excused for blowing his cool in that situation. I hope he's doing ok today.

Dunn is clearly a trouble maker. We've all pushed someone in a game of footy before but if we did that and it had that sort of effect, we'd perhaps not carry on like he did.

He has good skills but is slower than a wet week. I'd hate to see him doing pre-season time trials.

how dumb is Dunn? he's just come back from a broken jaw and now he's trying it on again ! time for him to retire

The guts and strength Dunn has shown to be back playing after 6 weeks off with a broken jaw is something the keyboard warriors on this forum will never understand. It has been a magnificent effort by him just to get up and play let alone come out in his full glory with true leadership. This forum is always quick to point the finger and to suggests he is protected and that he did something wrong yesterday. It is laughable. All he did whilst the umpires were standing right next to him was get a free kick from the square which resulted in two goals without the ball being bounced. I call that smart not protected. What is DUMB is the actions of the Tulla defenders. Strength is self discipline and its was gone in third quarter. BTW the keyboard warriors have written off WC all year. 3 teams into a grand final deserves recognition and seniors get back their best player Bowkett next match. GO BURGERS

Dunn clearly used his experience to milk the situation and unfortunately sucked the defender in. That’s using his experience. Those few minutes could ultimately be what won WC the game.

Having said that, it was a poor football act where both Tulla players needed to go to hospital. Yes it was only a push but the push resulted in a nasty head clash resulting in both players on the ground requiring stitches etc with Lang not returning to the field.

If Clubber didn't initiate it by slinging Dunn at the start none of the other stuff would've happened.. Lesson learned I suppose!

dont wait for pre season to see him . He is at big dance on Sunday. Come and yell abuse at him like he has copped on chin for 2 years. it does not bother him as he is a professional man with an astute footy brain. I also think Tulla were expecting Mr Wonderful on the big bucks to stand up but alas he went missing. Please tell me he is signed for next season.

That’s a bit like saying if Dunn didn’t provoke Ferris he wouldn’t have got a broken jaw… can’t have it both ways.

From the little I’ve seen of Dunn he definitely likes to play on the edge and occasionally gets it wrong with frees against but no one is seriously saying he should get suspended for a push to the chest with an umpire standing 2m away in full view ?

Gremlin youre probably right - I’m saying it’s a poor football act. You certainly wouldn’t be doing that on the street or you would get charged with assault.

Good on WC for making the granny they were the better side on the day and took their chances when it mattered Tulla didn’t
Irrelevant anyway now APW to take home the cup by 40+
Clearly the best side all year and deserve to be promoted
WC will be playing in Div 1 again next year

Happy to be corrected Sunday afternoon but I know who my moneys on

Fear 40+ might be conservative. APW just look way too classy on paper. These 2 teams played a classic GF a number of years ago when WC went in massive underdogs and shocked everyone by having a big lead at halftime but APW steamrolled them in the second half. Let’s hope no one gets kicked in the head this time

Going to be embarrassing for WC imo

not sure those younger players staying either, very popular guys at the club, but devoid of opportunities. Disappointing all round for Tulla.

Bruno apparently taking a year off, Dispenzeri & Bennardo linked to Oak Park and McKernan checked out last week.
Shame as there was a lot of potential but delivered so little, other than a few moments in the 2nd qtr where McKernan looked like he was going to light it up, he looked disinterested in the 3rd & 4th.

Poor decision by McKernan to play low grade footy straight out of AFL. By all means go bank at some point but amazed me he went to div1 standard footy. Did hear a bit going on at Tulla after there loss ( well thrashing) to APW

No mate I don't yell abuse at anyone. I'm totally against that sort of stuff.

As for Mr Wonderful - I'm guessing you're referring to McKernan. I suspect he was carrying some sort of injury late in the season as his form tapered off and his mobility decreased. I'd say that had a lot to do with him not playing so well recently.

As for comments about big bucks and cheque books etc, I'm just there for the footy. I'm not interested how much anyone is getting paid. I support Tulla because I live a stone throw from their ground and that won't change any time soon.

Good luck to WC in the big one. It's a two horse race so anything can happen but I would be tipping APW by 70+

The match I saw Dispenzeri play he impressed me. Nice long kick, contest work ok.

Why wasn’t he in best 22?

Not sure exactly but he was injured late in the season so I guess he was still just getting back into it.

Fair Point...

Anything can happen in grand finals and I would expect a good contest. 10 years on from that 2012 grand final between the two clubs.
APW did win both meetings during the season by 30 & 63.
However both teams had plenty out both times they played. WC didn’t have dunn and archer either game v APW.
Martin weirauch martini careri Lucas spagnolo only played once against airport west. However for APW Reuben William

didn’t play at all against WC, neither did balta & sultana. Nelson gentile Robinson Penaluna all missed one of the meetings.

Congrats to WC for having all three teams in grand finals. Credit to them. Also congrats to APW for having seniors and reserves in respective grand finals.
