Gee, Patton was stiff wasn't he?




(Not for missing out on votes, he just played like a giant stiffie.)

That's not enough reason to start barracking for a 'second wave', is it? Coz I'm, you know, a bit hesitant. I want a pint! At a pub!! With other people!!!

I'm all for a Mexican wave when the restrictions are lifted.

Geelong vs Hawthorn
9 Rhys Stanley (GEEL)
9 Joel Selwood (GEEL)
3 Brandan Parfitt (GEEL)
3 Gary Ablett (GEEL)
3 Gryan Miers (GEEL)
3 Zach Tuohy (GEEL)


Interesting that Stanley was rated highly. Hopefully that gives him confidence

I thought Ablett was BOG for big stretches there

Hopefully that means that Scott plays him. Every game left in 2020.

Patton looked slow and cumbersome...I think his injuries have cruelled him. Still a beautiful kick but lacks in other areas. Was exposed more than once on the weekend.

Hawk recruiters dont make many mistakes...this, sadly for them, may be one though.

Good to see Tuohy rewarded worked hard and helped us to be able to play the game in our half.He and Stewart are the drive out of the backline.

It will be a shame if he doesn't reach his potential,He's a ticking time bomb in his own mind and that's hard to shake,it's one of the reason I admired Menzel he was on top of the mental stuff.

I thought the club were sticking to playing the original version of our theme song, the updated version rolled out against Hawthorn is tacky junk lacking soul, since when did our administrations “tune” change on this?

Cracked up laughing when someone on K-Rock said he was as useless as a chocolate kettle on Friday night.

NOW they change the rules about sling tackles.

Bloody right.

I dunno, I think they've over-exterted themselves a bit too much lately - stretched a bit too far.
One wonders if Fagan really was the power behind the throne a bit.

 

[Whiskers]

NOW they change the rules about sling tackles.

Bloody right.

Surely they could use discretion and use the old potential for injury?

However it had to be changed, it obviously should be reportable, you can’t just have blokes tackling like that and getting away with it.

Bloody right.

Only good thing to come out of that episode.

4 knee reco’s and on both knees. And the hawk nuffies were talking him up as a saviour. Yeah he was a no 1 pick, but when your knees are that bad you won’t make it. Menzel proved that.

Hollow, hollow, hollow. How many times have we heard the AFL say that the head must be protected. It isn't on many occasions, the Dangerfield sling being just the latest. The Tribunal, well at least its sole operator , will find away to let another dangerous tackle go unpunished.

They will if the perpetrator is a good bloke.

I agree. Although Paddy avoiding serious injury or concussion was also a real positive.

Having said that, it will be a very good thing if this type of tackle is now properly recognised and appropriately punished on every occasion.

Of course, as with all things AFL, we wait to see whether the response in the future even remotely matches the rhetoric of today.

The irony .. PFD missed a Brownlow for the exact same tackle - gets a week.
PFD received the same tackle. Is groggy and plays on but is mostly lucky - Burgers gets it down to a 500 fine and the law is changed the very next day.
If it wasnt Geelong on the receiving end twice it would almost be unbelievable. WOW.

Exactly. The league always states the head is sacrosanct - unless said head is attached to the shoulders of a Geelong player it seems. Can still remember years ago Zac Dawson had whacked Stokesy high a few times when we played Freo, but was never cited once.

 

[God Mode]

How many times have the rules changed thanks to Hawthorn? This is about the 3rd time I reckon.

Sammy Mitchell doing the karate chop move into Taylor Hunts throat, which I don't believe was even cited

Can't remember which Hawk it was that hit Blicavs high, and excluding his s**t effort last year, he's generally been pretty hard to take down. On that occasion he was assisted to the bench by a trainer, and again no case to answer

Lack of consistency is the biggest frustration with the mrp/mro

Leaving aside the Ablett incidents in 2019, I don't see a great deal of consistency lacking when it comes to how the MRP/MRO adjudicate the hoops.
