Ottens Report??

[Gaz_Brownlow]

Just reading the post mortem, and it mentions that Ottens got booked for a late hit on Firrito???

Anyone see it?

Much in it?

WHAT? WHAT?
Nooo, Otto better not get suspended.

 

[foxdog50]

I nere saw that.... wonder were and what quater it was???

 

[fugsy]

First quarter I think when Firrito kicked his goal.

Probably the start of the 3rd qtr which 7 cut out.

Yep, cleaned him up late. I didn't think it was too bad, but was watching from the other end of the ground.

GJ Otto !!!

This could be the answer to my prayers. I want to support Geelong for the rest of this finals series because they deserve a flag for the season they've had and past heartbreaks. But I don't want to see Brad Ottens ever win a premiership. Please suspend him for 2 matches. Thank you.

Gee, I did not think it was much of a free kick. He bumped Firrito as Firrito kicked the ball

Bit harsh, still a little cut over him leaving you wooden spooners for us minor premiers?

Of course! After we used a high draft pick on him, invested time and money into his development and then just when he reaches the age where we should see some return on our investment, he abandons ship.

Smart bloke Otto

Fair enough Ranger, i too would hate Ottens if i was a ricmond supporter. From a Geelong perspective his loss would be a disaster. Aside from Ablett and Scarlett he is probably the most crucial player to our tilt. I hope there is nothing in it.

Yeah, i didn't see anything worthy of note...they just wrote up on the afl website that he got reported??

Did anyone see the actual report...i think it might be a bit of soft booking, but concerning nonetheless...

 

[foxdog50]

found this on the afl web site-
That tone was continued early in the match, when Geelong big man Brad Ottens was reported for crashing into 'Roos' defender Michael Firrito, after the backman kicked a classy running goal.

 

[dtrainium]

It was a massive hit late, and didn't really need to be done, but I don't think anything will happen. Didn't know he had been reported, he went straight from the ground after it, so there wasn't a stoppage where the umpire got out his little pad or anything. Glad I wasn't on the receiving end of it though.

 

[the ranger]

Just like I understand Footscray fans who are pissed off at Browny. I don't think Lions supporters hate Buckley though. Probably because they had the last laugh.

Am I correct in saying it's similar to when Colbert left Geelong?

 

[thejester]

'Massive'? He ran into him and an off-balance Firrito fell over. Worthy of a free-kick, sure. But a report?

I despise Leigh Colbert.

 

[Catsace]

Furrito got straight up having kicked the goal, and i would be confident that Otto with a likely clean record in the last 5 years, would not be facing a suspension for a mere late bump. It should be withdrawn before the tribunal sits anyway.

If Barry Hall can get off for punching a bloke, Otto will be fine.

Piss off to your own board and discuss ways you can utilise your wooden spoon. I can suggest one place you could put it.

It's about time Ottens actually woke up and decided to go to a team who actually appreciates what he brings to the table, unlike the rabble at Punt Road who would rather spit at coaches, tear up membership tickets or dump manure than support their team.

I guess if Ottens stayed at the Tigers, you'd have got your wish of never seeing him win a premiership.

As for the report, there was no mention of it on K-Rock, and what I saw of it on TV, didn't even warrant a free kick.

 

[madcat001]

Ottens ran straight from the field and made his first change with blake as soon as it happened, a comment was made on MMM that the umpire didn't even have a chance to remonstrate with ottens before he went to the bench. I saw it, remember it, will be thrown out pretty early on i think.

 

[jim boy]

I thought it was late, that's all. At the time I was afraid the ump was going to give Furrito a second shot at goal. I remember them doing a similar thing with Rooke at Manuka one chilly day.
