The Non-Essendon Thread V

Fkin Walker shits me, such a good player and he's already missed weeks earlier in the year for a sling tackle. Could tell he knew immediately that he ****ed up.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

If Walker gets anything less than a month for that it's a pure and utter disgrace.

FFS, people defending the sling tackle or the spear tackle are out of their minds. To tackle in this game you use your own weight to bring the other player down. There's no need to drive them into the dirt.

Having said that though, the player wasn't injured so it'll be interesting to see how the MRP judges it using their sophisticated judging tools.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Wasn't the first dirty thing he did.

Last week, he pushed a defender's shoulder into the goalpost even after the ball clearly went over the line. It was a deliberate attempt to cause injury. Can't believe such a dog act went unnoticed by the umpires.

Deserves everything he gets for this 'tackle'. No respect from me.

I hate that it will probably get downgraded because of the lack injury to Morris, it's such a backwards resulted oriented mentality that a panel, in charge of such things that can have direct impact on games with the length of sentences being handed out shouldn't have. It is typical though given how reactionary the AFL is.

It's madness. What happens when something really desperately serious happens, and then the player who does it says "Well, I did it before and didn't get suspended, so I did it again."

They're responsible for whatever mess comes of spear and sling tackling. And something will happen, rest assured.

I hope Brisbane absolutely obliterate Melbourne.

Looks a beautiful day up in Brisbane... quite a contrast to here down south!

Spot on, the exact same tackle in the exact same situation could happen again except the player tackled could do some serious neck damage and it will be assessed much harsher because of the result even though there's no difference, it's just a really illogical way to assess something.

Watts playing on Brown lol.

Been arguing the same for at least a year.

Its all about head, but there is nothing sure,r that if a player damages a shoulder/arm/ribs, the tackler will be suspended.

Power could have been beaten Geelong today if they had a full list available.

What it utterly baffling is the fact it was given HTB. The ****?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Going to be a huge game next week.

 

[Macca18]

If the Saints bring this style of footy next week, we will happily accommodate it.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I expect Watto to have another blinder next week loves playing the Saints Jobe.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

We will obliterate North's clanger filled gameplan on the rebound.

 

[BomberTime]

Geez it would have been nice to have a fully fit Gumby for next weeks game against an under sized St Kilda defense.

Oh well, Ryder, Crameri and Hurley will have to do

Blake will have to be in some doubt for the Saints next week.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Still seems pace are a worry for the Saints,should still be able to kill them on the spread.

 

[DapperDon]

Might be Kosi on Hurley next week by the looks of things.

Giddy the **** up!!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Kangas will hang on imo cant see the Saints pegging them back with 2 players short should be too good for the Saints next week.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Lol at these teams wanting to play finals.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Kangas killing them with pace we are going to kill them next week

Good win by the Kangas.

 

[Macca18]

Dad's Army looking tired... even after the BYE.

Our boys will have confidence heading into next week.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Would be great to get another % boosting win.
