Toast Round 10 = Fremantle 44-80 Collingwood

He held it longer than Ablett senior did against us many moons ago and the media raved about that one.

SOS mark of the century hit him the face and rolled down his chest onto the ground.
Ump called it a mark.

Fishing Boat? My cycling mate just sold the business in the past couple of months.

Bugger, could have got a good deal.
Thanks.
Plenty of great days ahead.

I mean, you can try and twist my words to make any argument you feel like making

My point ultimately was that our midfield is probably our weakness at the moment. I've seen people blame our forward line for years and hell, even I have jumped on the defence a few times this year, but even the defence can only hold out so long if the midfield is getting slaughtered.

But as I stated in a later post, Richmond won 3 flags while rarely winning clearances.

Haven't twisted your words at all.
You said "we look a better side when the midfield actually gets on top or at least breaks even".

So you tell me, which side in history has looked better when their midfield gets beaten than it does when it breaks even or wins?

I actually don't mind Freo normally (when we aren't playing them lol). I think their supporters are struggling to make peace with the 2 losses over the last 2 weeks to what they probably thought were "easy beat" sides. After flying high for the first 8 rounds of the year- thinking they were potentially grand final material, they are now grasping at straws to make sense of it all.

Most Fremantle supporters are not Arrogant and no way we were treating Gold Coast and Collingwood as easy beats, Danger games would be the narrative. And danger games they proved to be

I am a huge advocate of non-football actions being penalised more harshly.

Sorry to intrude , The two weeks is about right , Switta is very remorseful , I agree that forcing someones arm up their back is not a football action . And if this is the precedent then great. just hope it doesn't change if your profile is is higher .

Look I get it that Switta is sorry but we're talking about an unprovoked act that had nothing to do with the contest here, it was fully captured on the coverage and looked disgusting.

If the AFL is serious about cleaning the game up then 2 weeks for what amounts to an unprovoked physical assault is laughable.

AFL too scared off the AFLPA

The litmus test is how remorseful he’d have been if he wasn’t captured on camera. I’m willing to bet not very and he’s not sorry about the action, he’s just feeling sorry for himself that he was caught and his reputation is rightly tarnished.

Thug, reprehensible act.

Doubt he ever actually had control of the footy, but in the conditions….. a similar mark by Ablett got MOTY so can’t rule such things out.

It was more of a mark than Ablett's

Never in dispute.
