Re: Hille? Is he gawn?

Wow... And for dinner tonight: My hat.

Mine too!

Wow. That's two (Kennedy as well) this year they've let go.

Maybe (hopefully) softening up a bit.

What happened to all that double movement bullshit.

The MRP is a want but not as much as Adrian Anderson who put it all together. Where did he get his law degree?

Re: Hille? Is he gawn?

No it wasn't. He was going for the mark until the last split second.



Did he actually make contact to the head? I think Bartel would have been knocked out if he had.



Wrong. Both players were going for the mark. Bartel won the contest. Collision resulted. Completely accidental. Wasn't behind the play. Wasn't overly late. It couldn't be avoided.



He was flying through the air with his arms outstretched ready to take a mark. So, it goes without saying that he'll also be flying through the air when he makes contact in the contest. You make it sound as though he jumped into the air deliberately to take out Bartel. Ridiculous. And it was hardly "severe" either. It was a hard hit, but Hille also did well to not kill Bartel.



No, it didn't "look" good, and I can see why the umpire reported him. However, if you go back and look at it again, you'll see that there was nothing in it.

Should definitely get thrown out.

People around here these days see any kind of collision and are instantly screaming "HE'S GAWWNN!!!!"

It's getting ridiculous. Even more so when the same people then complain that the game is becoming soft....

Thankyou, thankyou.

I believe the correct term is: Hammer. Nail. Head.
