Vlastuin grabbed him around the shoulder and lladhams threw himself back. he flopped. port were flopping all night. but only tiger players stage.
It looked like a clear free "live", on replay it was not so clear cut, but he did grab him on the shoulder, so the right decision was paid.

The All Home and Away Supercoach Team. Even less meaningful than the Brownlow.
AA is for the best players in the H&A season. Guys like DBJ play many good games, against weaker opposition, when pressure is less, when they can run loose and get plenty of the ball.
A guy like Vlastuin plays some great games during the H&A, but also games where he just does what he needs to do.

DBJ probably had the better H&A season, but it is clear who any football person would prefer in their team come finals time.

Vlas' poor start to the 2017 GF and subsequent recovery and performance that day tells you everything you need about the man. You rely on him in the toughest of circumstances and he will not let you down.

No AA defender should ever get brushed aside like a 10 pound weakling. Dusty or no Dusty.
Embarrassing
Yeh, its criminal that 2 guys who cannot defend to save themselves were chosen in front of our star. Anyone on the AA selection committee who voted for BJ should be stood down from future selection duties.

I'm sure its not relevant now but would be nice for Nick to sit back in 15 years time and have that on his CV.

What a ripper this bloke is.
Just reading AFL Runner.
Floss talking about DTLD and the backline/ruck set up.
When Nank dropped back a few times to take saving marks Floss yelled out like an idiot (his words):

"Leo Barry, you Star!"
He's a beauty.
(Although I almost needed a new TV with his brain fade on Ladhams)

I had a good debate with my 18 yo son about this. He's only ever played junior footy and the great thing about it is there is hardly any staging. He just couldn't get his head around the fact that 90% of what happened was caused by Ladhams.

We can thank robbo and the headline grabbing media for inciting some of the unhinged out there. Death threats against Grimes and now this. They need to be made accountable

Yep. Even if it wasn't Cats supporters or AFL related, it was.

Lunch too albeit it was obviously not as severe still being victimised from a fan like most likely was as a result of media victimisation
