Oppo Camp Non-Essendon Thread XII

Rough conduct and a poor record...

 

[JayJ20]

Or Dogs to lose next week

This. With Bulldogs likely out of the 8, that'll be no problem for Port

 

[Jukesy85]

Just need the dogs to lose to either Port or Hawthorn and we beat GC and Freo and we're probably in (unless west coast beat gws and Adelaide) without needing a win tomorrow. Of course would much prefer to win tomorrow, but takes a little pressure off us.

 

[DapperDon]

I think they'll be doing well to win one, though Port have been shit against good sides. Could well come down to the game against Hawthorne.

If there was ever a game to do it for Hodgey

Dont get how the kick to the face is not a definite suspension? They want to protect players heads and yet you are allowed to jump up and kick people in the face? The fact that he wasn't looking doesn't hold water either. He knew damn well that the player was coming from that direction which is why he put his foot there in the first place. Negligent high contact with serious impact. Gone.

Serious impact? Having a laugh.

 

[Dave]

Good mark Bont.

 

[Teflon Dons]

The Bont has been non existent this half till that mark

You're kidding. He's the only one that's trying.

Um no? I think all the blood and being knocked off your feet pretty much tells the story?

He put his foot up to protect himself. Its done very often in fact our very own Daniher has done it on occasion.

 

[Teflon Dons]

Compared to that first half he's been a ghost - gone completely missing from where I'm sitting

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Have a man crush for Toby Greene haha.

 

[hurlygurdy]

He put his foot up to protect himself. Its done very often in fact our very own Daniher has done it on occasion.

And if you put it up high enough and end up kicking someone in the head you are gone. If not then we will see the beginning of the straight leg, foot to face fend off. lol

 

[eth-dog]

Medium impact at worst, and tat only because of the blood. Serious impact is concussion or bad injury, not a cut

 

[Dave]

Getting flogged now.

 

[eth-dog]

How the hell is that HTB? It was a head high tackle!

Greene was protecting his space, which you are allowed to do when contesting the ball, which actually resulted in Dahlhaus initiating the contact.

 

[Dave]

Yeah, my initial thought too. Freekick bullflogs.

 

[JayJ20]

I've said this before.

Bulldogs just haven't been good enough since the bye. They beat us because our midfield was defensively terrible. One of our worst defensive efforts of the year, which allowed them clean entries inside 50s.

Expectedly, when their mids are pressured, their inside 50 entries are wide and therefore, exposes them for inaccuracy.

 

[hurlygurdy]

fair enough

 

[Dave]

Wow, 55-32 inside fifties and they're 50 points down. That'd have to be some sort of record.
