MRP / Trib. Week 2 vs Geelong - Ballantyne 2 weeks

At this point in the season this could be a blessing in disguise.

Hayden gets a rest and you get to blood a youngster in two tough games.

You guys are great and will cover for him easily.

It's the player that shuts down Hayden moving to Walters that is the issue.

Spot on.

Wouldn't the better player be playing on Walters? With the ball Walters ia a much more damaging player.

So poorly prepared, and Lyon wasn't remotely interested in bailing him out. A real waste of what can be an informative slot.

So true, I always look forward to this interview, and it was so bog standard boring. Almost cringe worthy.

Tbh, I thought Walters will get the better defender regardless.

Listing to Roly last night on 6Paaargh I got the impression that he wasnt too fussed about Hayden missing a couple. I reckon he his very comfortable with the options he has available to cover Ballas.

In fact, if I were Hayden, I would seriously consider changing things a bit. He may be rather close to not being best 22.

Couldn't disagree more, hes best 22 with ridiculous ease.

Was looking at Buddy on Boak too - not playing for the ball, a clear bump to get an opposition off the ball to allow a teammate through - hard enough to lift him backwards off his feet and look like he might have made high contact as well. Not saying he did, but ... the commentary at the time? "Bang! ohoohoo!".

It's just a big laugh if it's someone else.

Can't help but think if it was Ballantyne, they would have found a way to penalise, rules or no rules. Like last year, when they came to the conclusion that two minor incidents, not reportable in themselves, combine to make a big incident they can then punish.

So much bullshit.

Na Buddy's hit was great - straight up the sternum. Nothing in it, play on.

I think you kind of missed the point.

 

[Arcassius]

I think you kind of missed the point.

I don't think so. It was a fair bump, and ballas does his fair share of those and people love it. We aren't targeted as much as it makes a nice conspiracy theory
