It's like comparing a guy punching the ball away and the Barry Hall hit on Staker an saying well they are both punches pretty much the same thing.
 
Just wondering whether they pointed out in the Swans love in that the eagles had heaps of players missing, their remaining forward Darling went off early and the eagles had played in Tassie the previous week in a tough game?

Don't most players in the AFL these days attempt to grab an arm in a tackle to eliminate the chance of a clean disposal by hand and earn themselves a free kick? Seems ridiculous that they would highlight one player for a tactic which is becoming more and more common in the game. The fact that they have then spun it to be the same thing as what Judd did on the weekend is just downright ridiculous and just makes them look even more clueless than I gave them credit for. It's a strange love affair the media seems to have with Judd though I must say and I'm not surprised they are doing all they can to try and help support his case
 
The difference is, you'll see people grab someone else by the arm when they're on their feet and in possession of the ball. In Judds case, the player didn't appear to have the ball, someone else was on top of him and there was zero point in doing what he actually did.

The last shred of respect I had for Chris Judd has now evaporated. It's not the 80's any more Juddy, you can't do shit to hurt people..
 
If your after a spin out, head over to the Carlton Judd Toast thread and check out how people are justifying his actions. They honestly believe that Judd is being persecuted by the media.
 
This just in - Chris Judd has been cleared by the MRP as not having a case to answer. They are convinced Judd was simply trying to help his opponent to his feet while Adams twisted the rest of his body to try and put Judd off balance. Hence the responsibility lies with the North Melbourne player. The three Brownlow votes Judd got on Friday night can still accumulate towards an eligible Brownlow medal victory where he can once again be proclaimed best and fairest.

In an apparently unrelated incident, Cyril Rioli has been charged with multiple acts of misconduct based on his illegal tackling action, and of course, the 'Rioli special' - attempting to tackle. He has been offered 8 weeks by the MRP. :p
 
That tackle happened right in front of me and I absolutely loved it. I think he tried something similar this week too.
 
Paul Roos is a tool.

When we played West Coast earlier in the season, he didn't understand what we were bitching about in regards to the "ducking" issue. Apparently all the free kicks were there in that game, and we needed to change our tackling technique; tackle lower, grab the arms! Now we're chicken wingers.

Give me a break.
 
It's the worst program on football and not worth viewing.

Had to give this segment a watch, just now, and what a complete wank! Healy is pathetic and boring, as always, and Mike Sheahan is as pretentious and self serving to the point of needing to retire. The longer Paul Roos stays around these two, the more tainted and poorer his view of the game becomes. Poor effort by Roos.

Didn't see the show last night, haven't watched it in years as I don't have Foxtel anymore.

I remember a couple of years ago they were talking about banning the chicken wing due to fear of injuries. Rioli was highlighted then as being very good at the technique, pretty sure there were one or two incidents where the opponent may have been a bit sore after the tackle and they used them as examples.

But to compare pulling someones arm during a tackle to stop them disposing of the ball correctly to Judd walking up to a guy face down on the ground that one of his team mates is sitting on and yanking his arm back like he is performing a submission move is a joke.

I used to like OTC about 4-5 years ago but it's like the media are upset they all predicted a hawthorn dynasty at the end of 08 and we failed to live up to their prediction and made them look stupid. Sorry Gents you make yourselves look stupid every week without our help
 
It was the same thing, Warnock was in a fair bit of pain from it.

This Judd thing is a complete beat up. The media don't even show the full footage which has Judd grabbing the arm while joining in on the tackle before they hit the ground.
 
It is a complete lie that Judd walked up to him while he was on the ground, he was involved in the tackle.

Judd joined in the Carrazzo tackle, it's not debatable. The footage is clear.

I'd hardly call it joined in the Carrazzo tackle, but he does approach the two players as Carrazzo is taking Adams to ground. His action once Adams hits the ground though is where he grabs Adams arm and gives it a tweak. His intent, to me at least, looks like he just wanted to grab the arm, not actually play a part in a 'proper' tackle.

Will be very interesting to see what the result is, but this action can not be compared to Rioli's when Cyril is the instigator of a tackle, whereas Judd is just looking for a way to hurt his opponent, after Carrazzo completes a very good tackle.
 
I am convinced that Twit Healy scrounged around until he found that Rioli game they showed last night . I have said for a long time Twitty Healy has hated the Hawks,can't even stand to listen to him on commentary on Fox..TG for radio AND mute,use it a lot..Time twit left tv and radio, enough of him.:mad::confused:
