Welsh and Roo

[Stiffy_18]

Nothing in it??????

Welshy's bump on Sinclair looked legit but having said that McLeod went for something similar a couple fo years ago.

Roo poking Hale in the eye, is an interesting one. He did take him high. Wouldn't be surprised if it sighted considering the inconsistencies this year.

I didn't see either too well, but they always look worse in slow-motion... here's hoping they don't go, they kicked the most points for us tonight

Welsh could be in trouble - i think he may have ben able to pull out a bit from the hit

Roo should be ok - worse though than Stinger on Hird

Welsh was already in the air before sinclair had marked, he did tuck in the elbow but he had to protect himself.
roo's looked more reckless

Roo will be alright, Hale, i think it was, he was unlucky, how many times does that happen in a game of footy?

Welsh, will be sighted for sure, hopefully he gets off, but who knows with the tribunal ?!?

It looked alot worse on replay there was no high contact but with sinclair going off with consussion wont help.

Roo's hand looked like it was open so I'd be very suprised if anything came of it. If it had been a clenched fist different story.
Welsh was late and may be in trouble because of the effect on Sinclair but I seriously doubt it.
I was wondering if young Motlop may have to make a trip to AFL house on Tuesday night. In his battle with Ben Hart on the wing(?) there looked to be a couple of punches throw in between the open hands!

Roo's hand was definitely open. Unfortunate accident, but no more than that.

Welsh - touch and go. Not much in it, but if he gets cited, it'll vary between not guilty and hanging Welsh - they are a very unpredictable lot.

Motlop did give Hart at least one, and possibly two very quick sharp jabs to the mouth, but recent events have shown it's quite okay to hit a Crow.

I don't know, welsh could be in trouble, didn't see the roo one. If we want to get away with this stuff then we have to start kneeing guys in the head, then we'll be fine.

if Welsh goes then Umpire Margetts should be dropped! he was in perfect position, and paid the 50 metre penalty and if he didnt see fit to report, then nothing should come of it! Well, thats what used to happen, who knows now that the video reports procedures have changed slightly!

Roo would be stiff, but stranger things have happened!

With both players a "storm in a teacup"

Roo won't be cited - hard to poke someone in the eye with a clenched fist - so nothing to answer.

Welsh again in "real time" nothing to answer. The problem is when you play in slo mo everything looks as if the play has plenty of time to decide whats he's doing - and it looks damaging.
But we're talking milliseconds and sorry players cannot change thought process's/actions that quickly.

Sinclair got concussed when his head hit the ground, not from Welsh's bump. It was hard, but came at a time when the roos were starting to dish it out. Think it came as a reality check for them. Think we need a bit more weight thrown around from time to time. We seem to cop a lot without giving much back.
I said 'weight'. I don't believe in dirty tactics.
