[big bootaaaaah]

Look how nic nat protects Amon by cradling him as Nics hips take the impact to the ground, well executed tackle.

Thats is a stuped comment. I really doubt that no on cares about sportin legacies of head injuries, which is partly what the article is about. Go on read the article and take a risk of being informed.

A bit of a recap from the port board is that it was not a split second footy thingee, his eyes light up and he comes from a way back intent on hammering the player. Any aspirations on the character of amon are out of bounds as they should be on the port board.

Will Amon be on tarp duty this week?

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Of course he wanted to hammer him, isn’t that why we tackle? Obviously he wasn’t going out there to concuss him but he definitely wanted him to earn it, concussion was just unfortunate outcome. You want him to go full speed to get to him (Amon might get rid of the ball if he goes any slower) but then softly lay him down on the ground in the split second after contact.

This is an elite sport and the players get paid accordingly. Surely your rights are waived as soon as you accept that money/lifestyle. It’s a risky game, hence the big cash. They’re not getting paid 500k+ just to hit a target 30m away. Sure rub it out of Auskick but this is the highest level, it’s tough. Think some Port supporters (and club medical staff) are just salty and this is their way “to get back at us”.

Just like that dickhead pavlich saying NN wanted to hurt him just like he wanted to hurt the last three big tackles he did.everybody tackles and bumps with intent.pavlich in my mind was a very good footballer but would never be considered among the greats because he was SOFT!! You go out to crunch people not deliberately hurt people.Lets be brutally honest if you crunch someone and he gets up limping how many people wouldnt be happy?But if he was hospitalised thats a different story.We need to stop micromanaging footy and let it go.The guy that drove his knee into JKs ribs?? that was malicious intent !! NNs tackle was hard and tough; not malicious!! By the way im advocating that nobody be allowed to come from behind and try to spoil with a clenched fist as a good punch [ for pav: coward punch ] could easily cause concussion and the player charged with assault.

Even heard some GWS supporters were disappointed that Nic won't be playing this weekend as were looking forward to seeing him live in action.

i didnt know GWS HAD any supporters.....

 

[Eaglemaniac]

If Marsden has played 181 games then anyone can play, it can't be that bad.

But he avoids tackles..

 

[Trouto]

But he avoids tackles..

he avoids tackling, he is a magnet to be tackled himself though!

Ok i accept that, and appogize for saying stuped and rubbish, but nic nat kind of pushes aside the eagle player who had amon covered in his blood lust zeal. Also on amore serious note, regardless of team support knocks to the head can be serios from the football field and this does not make it a mans game.

Accidents happen. Out of interest what did you make of the Higgins v Burton decision earlier in the year as an impartial?

If your team played with half of NN intensity they wouldn't be the soft, front runners that they are.

Standard shit for our increasingly litigious society. When there's an outraged, moral highground to be taken on issues that really don't need it, journo's clamour like rats for a story.

Wtf is blood lust zeal? Is that some weird vampire fetish?

I agree the jonas hit is a lot worse, and you are correct to point this out. I guess that the bottem line is that a maybe clear sognal has been sent that head knocks are not part of a footballer earning a living.
