Jobe Watson out for the rest of the season.

Inspired decision to play him against the Saints after injuring his shoulder against the Hawks.

Meh.

When Broadbent was doing his thing .. bumping an injured player, his other backs were trying to clear the ball out.
Did not happen and Sydney got a goal .. I bet Ken had a few words to Broadbent over this geez.

Jonathon Brown got all high and mighty over vision of the Broadbent situation, short memory when his Brisbane Lions went after a injured Nick Rewoildt like a pack of dogs

Love the Hoon tweet. It's an indictment on Gibbs that he can't understand the clear difference. Only a fool doesn't learn from his mistakes. I, like Gibbs, may not like the rule but he clearly broke it and Schulz's was far less clear cut.

I hope we enjoyed our 18 months in the sun. Now it's back to being the easiest whack around.

Some like Tim Watson would say 'selfish' just get his 200th game up this season!

 

[FromTheHartland]

cant do that these days. cant rush a behind from a ball up on the full or deliberately like that

Tell that to Mitch Robinson!

 

[Ant Bear]

Lol now Carlton fans are calling Sam a cheat for 'claiming a mark that was clearly touched'. The mind boggles.

Claiming a mark? More like playing to the whistle. Which for the first time in, like, ever was promptly rescinded.

There's talk this season is jab watsons last. Oh the irony.

My bad I thought when you went 3rd man up it was a under pressure and you could get away with it like boundary throw ins, unless it's blatantly obvious. At least have a couple players on the goal line but as I recall it looked like we weren't set and the ball up came quick.

So much this. I have never seen an umpire change their mind based on what a player has told them in any code of sport in my entire life. I've been taught 'don't talk back to umpire decisions, there's no point, they'll never change them' since I was playing Under 8's.

Just reading on a crows thread that crow crap has had his Adelaide membership revoked and banned fir 5 years also his twitter account is cancelled presumably over his one upmanship over the power using Phil Walsh's death.

Macca19 's power is all reaching.

Norwood’s superboot from the 1970s, Noel Pettingill, passed away last Saturday after suffering a brain haemorrhage following a fall at his home.
He was considered one of the best kicks the SANFL has ever seen.
Coming from North Gambier, Pettingill played 137 senior games at The Parade after debuting in 1969,
He was cleared to eastern suburbs rival Sturt in 1976 and played 20 senior games with the Double Blues.

I rarely saw Pettingill as I started following footy on 1974. I heard about a kick he took from CHB on Football Park which hit Roger Woodcock in the goalsquare. And one in 1972 at Norwood oval that hit the fence around the light tower and was measured at 96 metres. He won a kicking competition against French rugby player Pierre Villepreux by 13.5 metres. These last two facts come from the redlegsmuseum site so can be considered correct.

Sarcasm??

No, just mean that the one about the kick to Woodcock was just something I heard and may have been an exaggeration. The ones from the redlegsmuseum site I have heard quoted multiple times and I would be pretty sure they will be true. In fact the one about the French rugby player was in one of the papers at the time(we had more than one in SA in the 70s).

Roughy has been given the all clear on his cancer tests after having a melanoma removed last week. Great news for him personally and for the football world. A star of the game being diagnosed with cancer would be the last thing we need right now.

"Woodcock! Is that you Woodcock?"

"Butch, you know that if it were my money, there is nobody that I would rather have steal it than you. But, you see, I am still in the employment of E. H. Harriman of the Union Pacific Railroad!"

"Woodcock. What did you have to go and do something like that for?"

As a young lad we got plenty of laughs over that name. "Timber Dick" we'd call him. Oh, the joys of being young.

We always used to ask a girl whose surname was Hancock whether she had a brother named Tony. I don't think she ever got it.
