One thing I am having a head scratch over Barb is why are players still letting themselves get suspended each week for head high knocks. All have been deliberate and deserve a penalty
But , why? We get overheated about a slur ..correctly so.. and demand a penalty for the slur but we don’t read about players being sent to any counselling and training for their aggression.
Comes back to the clubs of course to do something.
But how that St Kilda player could injure his North opponent the way he did is beyond me.
Shades of the ’70’s

'Totally unacceptable': AFL bans Port star for 'unprompted and highly offensive' homophobic slur

oops! 😂

'Totally unacceptable': AFL bans Port star for 'unprompted and highly offensive' homophobic slur

Like we said..It’s weird
but…moving on

AFL News: 'No credibility' - Freo slam ex-ump's 'spoilt brat' whack at Clark, Dees to challenge Pickett ban

Good to see you back Barb
Been a while

AFL News: 'No credibility' - Freo slam ex-ump's 'spoilt brat' whack at Clark, Dees to challenge Pickett ban

It’s a bit weird 13th. I’m sure two people know
But even one of the Freo boys gave Clarke a ‘ tap’ on the arm as if remonstrating with Clarke to be quiet.
But it’s done and I guess I’ll leave it there
cheers

Low but apt PD 😂

RT that’s what people are missing. Why is he staring/glaring at the umpire and obviously saying something because Pierce and others are moving him away .
Obviously suggests something said that the umps are entitled to penalise in any grade of footy.
And it was also said Clarke had been chipping away at the umps beforehand
I’m only saying, from experience, don’t chip or swear at the umps

True, your Holiness
Also some grunt in the so called talented on ballers
How they must miss Cunnington

Six Points: Clutch kings do it again, footy's dirtiest player, and debunking 'Vic-centric' fixture myth

Is he a relative Peter of the infamous Byron Pickett ?
Now he was a footy thug.

Good point Tim about Comben. If North are so undermanned in defence and you have a 6’6″ strong boy why not build around him in the first place.
All they need now is another version of him at CHF

My thoughts Sven. The other thing to consider is that Clark was reportedly chipping the umpires throughout the match.
But Freo have a big game coming up and they need to focus on that and not what was lost

Mistaken identity? Docker at centre of dissent controversy claims he abused HIMSELF as AFL ticks off drama

Ironic..how could the press even go to Pell and why would he put himself in a position to give background information on the Freo player…beggars belief
Gobsmacked actually

Match of the round to me. I thought the Dogs were coming and looked liked they were literally running over the Cats. ..Perhaps the 5 day break was slowing the older warriors of the Cats
The way the Dogs played suggests they can be there amongst the top boys

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

Perhaps the dramatic penalty at the end was because of what was said as distinct from dissent by players with arms out pleading their case ??

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

I guess you’ll keep smiling Macca until you work it out 😂

Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did

Well, he has made the All Australian team twice before and his form t this stage would put him into this season’s calculations.
Even now he is a firm Brownlow contender.
Still on only 24 and an inspiring leader of Port

Footy Fix: Does the Essendon Edge not apply to Connor Rozee or something?

I guess time will tell how they use…or not use …Parker
But I still see him as a plus

'Disproportionate reaction': Forget the doomsayers - Sydney's shock loss to Richmond means absolutely nothing

Jackjumpers win will live with the majority of Tasmanians for a long time . I guess because of the games promotion amongst all children and how it was accepted by all genders and had the support of politicians …probably expect them to jump on
Now there is not enough courts to accommodate all age groups in playing.
But saying that I loved being at the game where we knocked off the Vic’s
And to have Ponting up there with Tendulka and Kallis etc
Hopefully our AFL team will hit the ground running as well

JackJumpers' NBL title was special - but where does it sit among Tasmania’s top ten sporting moments?

As Christo said ..Adams is in this week.
And Parker and Papley would be great compliments to the talls
What a pair to contain
Again mho

'Disproportionate reaction': Forget the doomsayers - Sydney's shock loss to Richmond means absolutely nothing

It’s been a great start for Heeney
Truly the x factor

'Disproportionate reaction': Forget the doomsayers - Sydney's shock loss to Richmond means absolutely nothing

Dem, you would think with Mills on ball or half back and Parker on ball or half forward and Adams coming off the bench that they will help Heeney even more so
His form is so good.
I can see them as a strong contender…in mho

For the life of me MMike I don’t understand why the Crows , and other teams, just drag off the nearest player to get their best player back onto the ground
They can reset interchange after Dawson gets back on
Never thought I’d hear Brian Taylor say the same thing.. didn’t think he was smart enough
Bit unkind there 😂

Footy Fix: One key change gave the Crows a sniff of all time comeback - so why on earth did they abandon it?

A weak defence Don? Carlton’s defence is as good as any other team..if not the best
Not saying they will beat Freo but Carlton’s Weitering and McGovern will match most in the air
Saad, Williams and Newman mop up very effectively
Saying that it is the one game I’m looking fwd to.
And if it’s a battle of the back lines then the coaching moves will be interesting

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions, Gather Round: Footy heads to Adelaide - but who will leave victorious?

Rowdy, do the Crows have a team in the local comp which their players use when not selected for the Crows
If so , then I would think that team and Port could get better opposition each week to improve their reserves in the VFL
But only a thought

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions, Gather Round: Footy heads to Adelaide - but who will leave victorious?

Roger, you could say just send in your dumbest player who won’t be missed if suspended but when your captain does it it’s beggars belief.
One would have thought Webster’s 8 weeks would put every player on notice to not do these head high knocks
This week will be interesting to see if the trend continues
