It was so late it was effectively behind play. No one really saw it. I was in the AFL members and not far away and didn’t see it. It was a *smile* act to a vulnerable player by a *smile*.

Exactly. It shows how far behind play it was. Watching on TV we never saw it either, the camera had moved on.
No free kick paid as dumbpires didn't see it.
Yet, it was merely careless and in no way intentional. Get *smile*
I was on that side of the ground and it took me a split second to notice one of our players was down, the ball had gone elsewhere and we were wondering what was going on.

I watched it on stream and when they started talking about that charity thing I fast forwarded through it. *smile* off ya frauds. This media circle jerking over Geelong is making spew up. As stated by Red there was more media angst when Tom Lynch rubbed some nobody player’s head into the ground a couple of years back. Dumb thing to do but the furore was out of control. One particular poster on here seemed more outraged by what Lynch did than what Stagerfield did to Vlastuin and what Sniper did to Dion. I can imagine the outcry from the media if Lynch did something like Sniper did; season ending suspension !!
Geelong has a collection of the biggest *smile* in the game. Salty, SHocking, Cheatwood, Stagerfield, Shovekins, Sniper Stewart and Cameron. Absolute *smile* the lot of them.
Geez I hope we play them again in the finals. It is on!
I would have told him to *smile* off and we’ll be seeing you again in the finals. Look over your shoulder sniper.
Shows just how late and unnecessary the hit was - all eyes had gone with the ball
Yeah nah don’t believe it
players are supposed to have super peripheral vision there’s 18 players in different positions all over the ground
That not one player saw it I still find unbelievable
Dimma said it. We don't win the free kicks that we deserve. AFL hearing or gone deaf again?
It’s also interesting we are also looking at tactics to get more free kicks.
Yeah he very skillfully said that we get shafted, after being pressed hard by Robbo on the free kick diff ladder.
Interesting exchange on Jack playing on. Could go either way, leaning toward no IMO, but a lot of variables to play out before any decisions are made by Jack or the club.

Another please explain note from AFL due to arrive in the RFC in-box. They don't want to hear the truth
Listening to Balmy's interview on the Sunday Footy Show I got the impression that they don't want Cotch or Jack to play on.
Not sure Dimma phrased this as well as he could have.
Appreciate the honesty in saying most of the ones we give away are there and we;ve lost games b/c of the FKs.
But to say 'we've got to get better at attracting them' pretty much opens the door to not get them IMO. Which umpires are gonna give them to us now - they'll just think we conned them even more than they think it now.
He needs to better practice his lines does Dimma, the off the cuff stuff can be misread badly.
I certainly got the impression from Dimma tonight that Jack won't be going on in 2023.
And I doubt it has the desired effect. The more he talks about, the deeper the shafting and the less lube used.
That was my impression re Jack tonight. They're the experts with intimate knowledge, but if it was up to me based on what's in front of me, Jack and Shed retire, (looks like Lambert will have to), Cotch plays on with a view to playing half a season purely for leadership and experience.
