MRP / Trib. The Patrick Parnell incident

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They showed on AFL360 all the incidents of sling tackles that resulted in a 4 week suspension and every single one of them was Against Adelaide.

Hamill, McHenry and now Parnell

Strange that all the victim players are from the same club. Are we perhaps not teaching our players what to do when tackled to avoid these type of incidents or is it purely coincidental?

Not excusing Broad or the other tacklers but collectively we're little, light and weak

We get ragdolled a lot

Whilst I have been one of our biggest critics of lack of aggression over the years - I highly doubt opposition teams are planning to 'Sling Crows Players into the Ground as they won't retaliate' prior to matches.

Tex Walker plays for us and he has been one of the biggest culprits of the sling tackle ffs, has been suspended 3 times for memory over it.

Tex changed his tackling method to guide the player down, rather than slamming them.

Apparently Nathan Broad has been punished in other ways ... like being made to live with possibly the worst tattoo in the AFL:

Watching some of the replay now.

Only Sloane and one other player briefly (can't see who it was) bothered to get around Parnell. Sloane also walked with him as the trainers were helping him off the ground.

Something that you see with a few teams such as Geelong and Collingwood - if a player gets injured, the whole team goes over to check on them, give support, etc.

Nicks should be absolutely filthy with the players over that, especially as the tackle would have been shown on the big screens.

I think it's a combination of light body and not being taught to dispose of the ball when sweated off. I believe they are told to take ownership and not let go, cause a ball up and hope to win the clearance. This is wrong. Parnell needed to tap the ball to Sloane behind him. It should be instinctual, we should never allow ourselves to be tied up. Move the ball at all costs. Most likely Broad would have tackled Parnell without the ball and given away a free.

What's to explain? I like the tattoo. What an incredible artist!

Disrespectful...
A man should be proud to have a tattoo of his mum.

I thought it looked like Chad Wingeguard.

It wasn't replayed at all at the match. I didn't catch the initial incident fully at the time, and due to no one retaliating, didn't know it was Broad until sometime later. Extremely disappointed with the lack of flying the flag.

Yes extremely disappointing to see no response. We need to make it uncomfortable for Broad next game.

I reckon it’s we have been very very young for several years and we have picked some light small players. Perfect team to try and intimidate

Wasn’t shown on the big screens. No replay whatsoever at the ground. Was really annoying
