I’m watching a replay now. Crude action by the port forward in my view. Imagine if Tom did that to someone, never hear the end of it.

Its like a Media Mafia, if 1 highlights it, They will all highlight it.
You can't bump, but you can knee someone in the back or in the head
It wasn’t reportable, Lynch put a big knee into Aleer 10 minutes later.
It was a free kick however, interference in the marking contest/ unrealistic attempt.
I remember Grimes (I think) kneeing Josh Kennedy in the head and knocking him out a couple of years back. No report.
yeah that was it, he was flying for the mark and got him in the head completely unintentionally. Dixon definitely had a quick look at Vlas but that's never been a reportable offence.
On this, it makes me wonder will the day come when it is a reportable offence to cannon into an opponent with a knee that results in damage to the kidneys or ribs etc. At the moment it’s rightly about protecting the head (except if it Dangers elbow connecting with Nicks head….) but will a time will come when protecting players ribs or kidneys is also necessary?
yeah, it's down to duty of care right? If you can't get the ball, you shouldn't take out the defenceless player in the hole.
Mind you Lynch was telling Alir that he better watch out he put his head in the hole as well.
I dont have an issue if the ball is in play.
With Dixon he was nowhere near the ball and deliberately took Vlastin out and noone said anything.
You would never have guessed Nick had sore ribs the way he played today. Like the Vlastuin we have been missing lately
Tough as Oak is Nick. Typical Ranga…they cop a lot but never met a soft one yet. Got 2 stepsisters and brother with red hair and I ain’t arguing with any of them.
Hard to believe Nick turns 29 soon & is close to playing 200 games.
Been a brilliant defender but I hope he has a really clear run at it this season because our backline is so much better when he's fit & in form.
Need him on the park & at his best.
