Round 2: the emptying the dishwasher games.

[Streak]

I don’t agree with the ch.7 commentators immediately trying to downplay the incident with ‘it was a footballing action; there was only a split second in it; it wasn’t a malicious act’ garbage.

I haven't seen the incident yet, but commentator's making this sort of dumb-arse comment just shows that we have a long way to go in our game regarding head-high contact.

The head is sacrosanct. Period.

You make the decision to win the footy or the contest. Cool. But make contact with the head, and it is time off for you.

And now I have seen the incident. Forget it, Wright should get 3-4 weeks for that.

Two Metre Peter becomes Two Week Peter.

Sydney are running Esserdern ragged. This game has had a breakneck speed. Theyre impressive the Swans. The Bombers good too.
We’re not at this level. The ball movement has been ballistic.

 

[Redford]

Schoolies Stringer. Yay.

 

[Redford]

Spiderbait. Ok. Sure.

 

[btoz_01]

Ben McKay what a dud allowing late mark goal to swans

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Can we trade Mansell for Wardlaw?

 

[TigerForce]

C'mon Ducks give us a last quarter slaughter on the Bummers.

 

[Redford]

I am enjoying this game much more now.

How many players in this era throw the ball because they can't handball with there opposite hand

CH7 commentators and other media have a soft spot for Essendrugs.. it's been around for years. It's weird.
like some kind of sick pity

As good as North were early against Freo, they got away with 3 one handed handballs in the middle of the ground that I saw. It was significant, because two of those led to a center bounce clearances which they took straight forward and goaled from.

I struggle to fathom missing this around the ground as much as they do, but in the middle when the umpire is right there. Mind-boggling.

They were"brave" after they were found doping. That was bizarre.
Like they were forced to do it by some shady characters with no association to the club.

 

[TigerForce]

Even they've been behind for most of the game, everything's working well for the Bummers. Similar to that Cartoon win in the last seconds against the Dees last year.

Jabber's getting excited.

Errol took a punt at the New Guinea highlands.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Essendon could be down by 56pts with 4 minutes to go and Darcy will still continue with ,'Essendon are in this it"

 

[French Tiger]

Gresham kicked his 3rd , still think he would have been a decent pickup as a free agent (Unless his price was ridiculous)

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Any one see Papley holding the man free kick??
I've never seen a Richmond player ever get one

Lazy

 

[MalenyTiger]

Yep soft and iffy resulting in a gimme goal at this stage of the game is one of those frees that make fans furious at the umpires.
