How many weeks for Mumford?

[Colonial]

Also three wins in 8 games is "playing great footy"? I get you don't follow the game much, but surely that's just basic maths...

We did play great footy today.
Hense my good mood (and your obvious salty one)

Shouldnt be that hard to understand.

Wow you are plunging here. Have a drink or something and cheer up

I don't really have an issue with the commentators going on about it. But I do have an issue with understanding why clubs don't target Mumford as a whole team. Let him know if he wants to dish it out and be the barometer for gws then he's going to cop it all day from every opposition player on the ground.

 

[Bokonon_]

It's fans like you that give GWS the rep of having people who have no idea about footy following them.

We've finally got a rep.
But alas I think you're confusing us with our neighbours

Incorrect. Pointed out 1 thing and then you had your rant.
Havent attacked anyone. So brittle. Tsk tsk.



I said it once in this thread and youve used it to carry on like a salty little child. That loss cut deep i see.



Gutted you feel that way. Honestly. Will drown my sorrows with a bourbon.



You are allowed to say that. Just as i am when i pointed it out when this whinge thread started.

So salty. Take a deep breath and settle.

Theres always next week.

You admitted to doing it in separate threads, also multiple times in this thread. You're either a terrible troll or just genuinely garbage at footy

My club one champ some of us are actually involved in the game. And don't just drink and bandwagon sports they're not involved in

We get it. You're not a footy fan. No need to rant more

Why would I be confusing a bloke who clearly doesn't understand the sport with a club that has history...

Not everyone who gets hit in the head gets concussion.

At least Hopper didn't flop to the ground when Melksham lined him up for a cheap shot, just played on.

But hey, Gawn obviously not as tough as Hopper.

Gawn spent like, two minutes on the bench. Was clearly not affected by the hit. Low impact. It happens.

Now if mummy had have gone full tilt at him, we might be dealing with a completely different set of circumstances, but he didn't - he pulled up and didn't hit him with anywhere near what most people here seem to think.

He hit him Yes?
Club doctors looked him over, yes?

I saw one piece of footage of melksham and it wasn't great footage. I'd say melksham gets a fair few weeks for it.

But comparing two players responses to a hit to the head and claiming that there was some "softness" based on this is not only stupidity, but a lack of understanding on how the clubs deal with players being hit in the head

Jetta got a knee to the head last week. Worse than both of these, was also checked and sent back out. Your point is not only based in tribalism but stupidity.

First time I've ever heard Max Gawn described as a "little fella"

 

[Theo X]

Disgusting thug, should get 6 weeks for that deliberate hit to Gawn's head, chose to bump.

Nah 10 is a nice round number

I assume so. I also assume they cleared him given he was on the bench only for a few minutes and he played out the match.

What part of "Low Impact" do you not understand?

What does how the players react on the field in the moment and how the club deals with head injuries have to do with each other? unless you're claiming that your club teaches its players to flop when touched on the head.

Jetta got a knee to the head last week. Worse than both of these, was also checked and sent back out. Your point is not only based in tribalism but stupidity.

Sorry to hear about Jetta but obviously if he was cleared to go back on, the doctors obviously thought he was ok. It also has nothing to do with the argument about Mummy's hit - or Melksham's for that matter.


But by all means keep on with the personal insults and rubbish about us Giants fans being "new" to the game or knowing nothing about football, thus demonstrating for all to see, your utter ignorance.

Watching Mumford play for some time has got me thinking.

He is bar none, the best big man - actually no, he is the best player in the comp at injuring/taking out other players within the rules of the game. I have watched numerous games where his physical presence was the key in winning close games, this is created the way he plays, and his ability to * up opposition players within the spirit of the game. No other player comes close.

I've compiled a list of videos of Mumford doing his work:






Another one where he *s tippett up (cant embed more than 5 links): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDugyOHAH-I

Reading other team boards, a common theme among posters is they bemoan a lack of physical presence shown by certain players, and it is typically certain big men that don't know how to throw around their own weight (i.e. Adelaide with Jenkins, Sydney with Tippett etc).

The question is, given the value such a physical presence has on winning a game of football, is there perhaps a niche in the game for a specialist coach that:

1. Explores the rules of the game and identifies what can be done in terms of taking opposition players out within the rules
2. Based on the above, imparting techniques to players including big men with little physical presence?

I know such a role sounds very unsavoury, but the AFL is clearly letting Mummy off the hook and perhaps setting a precedent. His physical presence on gameday is undoubtedly extremely valuable and worthy of the envy of every other club.

Just wait until he lays a textbook tackle on someone and they accidentally get concussed.

Then he'll be a goner.

 

[Substance]

Took Libba out of the game this year too. Legally I guess, but didn't like it.

EDIT:

Just wait until he lays a textbook tackle on someone and they accidentally get concussed.

Then he'll be a goner.

That's exactly what he did to libba. Legal tackle that concussed him.

watch that last video i posted where he cucks tippett.

 

[benneth]

Who would win out of a fight between mummy and Sicily?

 

[Luv_our_club]

The easiest way to hurt someone in AFL is to extend a knee in a marking contest. I hate to see it and despise the fact some players that have used it as a tactic such as Fevola did at times. Don't want a coach at Hawthorn teaching that.

I'm salty by admitting you're a better side but you're a garbage poster...?

"Deer ur on ignir"

But worrying that you're querying my sex life. But Casey got the win, so I'd say I'll be fine

Yes

I assume so. I also assume they cleared him given he was on the bench only for a few minutes and he played out the match.

It was actually just you and one other being ignorant...

Clubs look into all players who stay down for a period of time. If you'd been involved in a club you'd know this

Yes Mumford was low impact. Where have I said it wasn't?

Does low impact mean it doesn't hurt? Not at all. The Jetta was an example of something that had a player "react" badly on field, but be cleared and play out the game just minutes later. Surely you understand the connection.

Apparently me saying that Mumford did something wrong, melksham did something wrong and that melbourne are s**t makes me "salty". I haven't even defended melbourne in this. Just the garbage about Gawn "overreacting" and apparently if anyone mentioned Mumford we must also mention every other reportable incident ever in existence

There is a level of deflection that matches tony Abbott in here

Still salty?

 

[Eshay187]

salivating over people getting injured is a fairly toxic tendency imo

 

[Eshay187]

As for the idea of there being a "specialty injury coach" - lol how old are you?

use of the word 'lol', when do you turn 5?

Why don't you try refute the OP instead of resorting to ad hominem. Mumford's techniques and impact on the game is clearly very effective and nothing is or can be done about it, clubs that don't have physical players like that are giving away a huge advantage.

 

[Art Corvelay]

Are they really though? Most flag teams have a bit of mongrel/killer instinct about them. You can be tough without needing a specialist coach.

 

[caitsith01]

Got off for intentional high hit on Mitch Duncan which basically ruined his season, so no doubt will get off again.
